Good morning fellas,
As posted above, TEX36 has retired from the series. While he will certainly be missed on the grid, this has left open the opportunity for an open primary grid spot.
To all the Reserve drivers tagged below, if anyone is interested in the vacant primary spot, please reply to this post. The first to reply will be awarded the primary status and guarantees their spot for the season.

Post Race Report
Event #1
at Fuji F
August 13th, 2021​

Spoiler: Race Report

Better late then never...here is our Event #1 Post Race Report. Season 3 kicked off with a full 16 car grid with battles on all fronts. Races at the front for top spots, and among the best of the rest...every position seemed to be fought for like it was for 1st place. In the end it was the 2 podium finishes by @Roman_GT23 to secure the overall on the night. Have a look at the replays or broadcasts when they become available to see just how intense these races were, and feel free to share your perspective if you'd like.
Racing was overall quite clean albeit a few mistakes, but as much to be expected for an opening event. Otherwise, great racing.

2 incidents were filed, but reporting driver accepted that the on track concessions satisfied the mistakes. Also, a few other incidents were noticed during my brief review of the replays, though most if not all appeared to have been worked out on track as well. Despite some mistakes, Great Sportsmanship fellas.

Congratulations to our Event #1 Winner
@Roman_GT23

and our top 3 overall:
1ST: @Roman_GT23
2ND: @Noob01_lmdead/Rauljimenez76
3RD: @Harry Rowley

Ballast adjustments have been posted. A 3% weight ballast was added for our winner, 2% weight ballast add for 2nd place, and 1% add for 3rd place.
