[CodeRedR51]

Qualifying starts right when I get off work.

Bump it back an hour?

Edit: Alfa is gone?

 

[lxmmy]

I would really like to join this but the races start 2 hours too late for me

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'll be mending the time as needed, unfortunately I do not believe I can move it 2 hours @lxmmy

Edit: Alfa is gone?

Yeah, went for a roster that follows the real one a little closer.

'Taikyu' i.e. Thank you very much for letting us know you're going to have a go at a full season. There's a class or two that I have interest in I'm going to hold off for the moment because I'm hoping there'll be numerous entries in all classes in the next few weeks.

I'm signing up now to try and get other people to sign up.

 

[CAMikaze]

Hopefully we can get multiple lobbies for each round?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Note: I'll update with everyone's entries when I get to a PC. But thanks for the interest thus far guys.

You love that pun don't you?

If there are enough drivers to warrant it then yeah. 👍 In a simple split it would be STX through ST2 and ST3 through ST5. ST4 being a popular choice it could alter how it would be split if it is too.

 

[G_Parrilla]

Can I be a ST2 reserve? I'm very busy with work but I totally want to take part

[CSLACR]

I'm gonna try some cars out and see what I think before I sign up. The time is pretty much perfect for me.

 

[Mikey24]

I've been keeping an eye on this...

 

[CAMikaze]

Races also moved forward an hour.

So instead of a Midnight Saturday GMT start, it's now 2300 GMT Friday nights?

 

[Downhill Dino]

No it's 1 AM Saturday GMT now.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No it's 1 AM Saturday GMT now.

I have a question. Normally I don't do anything higher than sport exhaust on my cars since they usually sound awful. I don't know what racing exhaust is like on the Demio, hopefully it's better than most. If not, can we find a way to swap it for the sport system?

Darn, that throws plans off for me in a sense.

I will look into it when I can if need be. I don't think it would need anymore than 5 more horsepower.

Darn, that throws plans off for me in a sense.

How unfortunate!

Personally, the move benefits me quite a bit. I would actually love to run this much later but I don't want to inconvenience too many people.

It'll be a great championship. However the races will occur on friday, so it'll be impossible for me with work+study.

I wish you all have a great championship 👍.

 

[LeoStrop]

Depending on the date and time, i can make it. Friday at 8pm i am at class.

Wow that's cool! Surprised this will be your first series, there's lots of other good ones out there.

Sucks you guys can't be in! I don't think I'll be changing the time and dates anymore. I'd prefer Saturday but there are a lot of other series and clubs using those time slots.

 

[Suzumiya]

I'm in ST-3, not ST-4 . Might need to fix the roster.
