I'll probably miss this one but make the race on 30th. I'll try and pop on the practice server, though, to test everything out.

Look forward to seeing you on track Douglas

I'm interested to see what cars you guys go for. I might go back to my old fav with the Bentley Boat

I like the McLaren, that and the Ferrari are about the only two I have tried in ACC. I have spent a year racing the Mazda in Han's Wednesday AC races.

Might be worth trying the Aston or BMW to see how front engined cars feel as a comparison. All drive very differently.

Practice server is sunny and warm - bring your shorts and shades

Currently 3 of us on, 3 different manufacturers covered by a second so far.

It's great to see the series back! I'm visiting my family, so will miss the test race and the first round, but count on me from Monza onward. Thanks for organizing it, Chris!

Please set me on the entry list.

After some time only driving rf2 i fired ACC up again the last days for this series. After a few tests at Spa and Barcelona driving is still a bit mäh, i miss feedback from the car and steering. I did not change anything and i'm using the same cars and setup since the last races in early december. Maybe rf2 and that FFB is one reason that i miss some feedback when driving. But it's slowly getting better so hopefully some more laps and i feel more connected again.

Hopefully there will be a few of us back on the practice server tonight. I'm aiming to be on around 20:00gmt. If you can join it's really useful to see what times are being put down and check out lines other drives are taking.

Count me in as well!

The grid is shaping up nicely! Just a reminder that this is a test event so take it easy, find a rhythm, get used to the drivers around you and take time to get your pit stop right

Reading between the lines, he means win it in T1!

Spent over an hour this morning on the practice server, last sector still hitting my lap time hard just can’t break 35 seconds , although I somehow managed a near 1: 45 flat.

Yeh, I can't get lower than a 45. Second sector kills me in the boat.
