Sadly i have to sign out, i had very little time to practice this week. I can drive the car just fine but i have not raced with fast cars for a lot of months and i'll probably just cause multiple crashes lol. And since there are reserves who are probably more ready than me i think it's the best thing to do.

Hey Allessandro, practice, what practice? This will be my first time in a F1 style club race and I have been working too much this week to get any practice in. My motto, it's be alright on the night.

The way I look at it, if us back markers who make up the numbers don't turn up and race, the aliens will get bored with no one to overtake.

Yeah baby!

In.

EDIT: Not sure which car is available?

None for you yet

I'll add you to the reserves list! You'll be tagged if a spot opens.

@Steve Sperry - you're now on the main list - Woking Motorsport #3

Are all the signed up drivers premium?

@Andrew James may I request a car change with @Franco Becagli if he doesn't mind, I'd like to run the #17 car and the livery won't change

Thanks for the reminder I'll just stay over here in the corner
@Dewald Nel and @Franklin Stegink you're in the main list
@Enzo Fazzi @Steve Sperry that puts you back on the reserves (premium members get priority)
Thanks!

LOL, let's hope I just don't hit the wall after the bump this time...

@ANDREW, which car can I choose?

I did it like this; I saw who was the last non-premium member to sign up, and put you in that slot instead. Being as everyone else already has their cars, etc, I put you in what was available, Grove Motorsports #19. Premium get priority grid placement, but if I start swapping people's cars around it'll get too confusing.

That's fine, then I choose that one. I just wanted to know for the sake of your requirement of selecting cars...

Anyone up for some practise this evening? If anyone wants I could help too, these cars are pretty hard to drive. With that if anyone wants to help me that's welcome too!

I'll join I believe.

As you saw with the F3's though, I know much less than you regarding setups etc. I'll just try to get it somewhat stable at least.

Guess money talks even in Virtual F1.

Indeed. It keeps RD's servers up and running, without which there would be no racing to begin with.

Appreciated, but I try and test before I pay. Presumably if costs go up you will need more paying members?

Not sure how the pricing works here to be honest. I got premium earlier this year, when I started missing out races for this very reason.

I'm guessing it's an inflation-based increase, like everything else.

And it's awesome that you test first, I was a normal member for over 2 years to begin with. And if you're within the first 2 reserves on the list, I can almost guarantee you'll get a spot because of some last-minute dropouts.
