[HaydenFan69]

Put me as a Reserve Entry. Not biggest fan of track, but honestly haven’t driven anything around there besides GT cars, so maybe it’s a different track with high downforce and absurd hp numbers.

Number: 169 (or 69 if Guido doesn’t join)
Car: Porsche (especially if the BoP makes it a real contender)

 

[NoStopN]

Thanks for the invite, but my weekends are pretty much unavailable for racing.

 

[GTP_Guido]

Thanks for invite, but Group C is not my cup of tea. Have fun everyone.

 

[PirovacBoy]

Thx for the invite, but I can’t handle group c cars…enjoy your race

 

[Kermit_2142]

I’m pretty sure I’m going to be busy that day but if not would love to race. So can I go down as a reserve for now please.

[DelboyD]

Thanks for invite. This one looks good. I’ve got a soft spot for Group C.

I’m not sure I’m able to make it yet, reserve list for me.

DelboyD, DelboyD, #5.
I’ll pick a car from the choices left if I can make it.

Going to have to back out if this one, 99% certain I can't make it at that time, hope you all have a good race

 

[Kermit_2142]

Having noticed this is at 8pm, I won’t be able to fill in as a reserve. Have a great race, it’s a great combo 👍

So that's all the Saubers and Mazdas accounted for, no love for the Nissan or Jag this time around it seems.

I always love the paint on that jag, but have never gotten a handle on how to drives.

I need to get a few laps in instead of fiddling with the paint

 

[Nuschel01]

I'm not sure if I will be able to join but I'd love to. If I can join I'd only know on the day it happens, I hope that'll be ok?

If the last few of these are anything to go by then there will probably be space regardless.

Car 33 ready and loaded for the race, now to get a few practice laps in before I do donuts through the Senna Ess.

Due to new directions from my race manager I am no longer able to participate in this Saturday race.
Apparently my driver is requested at a social promotion event instead, to be able to participate in further racing.....

 

[DelboyD]

Gonna have to drop out of this one. Electricity is being turned off for most of the day. Medieval!
