I have set myself one particular goal for this season, and that is to do my best to ensure that every single member that starts season 9 will complete it with a high attendance and finishing rate. This is particularly important now that we seem to be in the “twilight-zone” between 1 and 2 divisions. (We do not wish to split into 2 divisions only to see a few drivers leaving mid-season, making us 25 or less in total.)
So where are we now? Let me quickly go through all names that in some way or another have expressed interest in season 9.
Group 1 (19): Excising members I feel confident are to be counted with
Andy Paries
Anthony Ishak
Bob Luneski
David Turnbull
Eliezer Bartik
Jim Hawley
Jonas Lex
Kennett Ylitalo
Kurt Kjellin
Marko Vuori
Nicolai Nicholson
Nicolas Rouge
Peter Marshall
Reik Major
Sean Greenlaw
Tim McIver
Valerio Vinassa
Valter Ostman
Vincenzo Cavaliere
Group 2 (1): Excising members I’m in doubt of (have not signed up for season 9 and had a poor season 8)
Bob Laube
Group 3 (6): New members that seem to be "on track"
Alfonso Clarke
Bob Miley
Chirlie Williams
Dino Paolini
Henrik Jordfald Olsen
Victor Ivanov
Group 4 (2): New members that just recently signed up
Dale Suttie
Carl Hughes
Group 5 (5): New members that do not seem to be "on track"
Kevin Ledoux
Thomas Cooke
Ron Squire
Max Reed
Szymon Olizarowicz
At the moment we are 25 drivers (Group 1 and 3), but we could become more; Dale and Carl have not had much time to do what is needed (mainly practice Hungaroring), and we cannot rule out Bob Laube or group 5. In addition it can be more signups.
So as you see we stand in danger of being more than 25 drivers.
(to be continued…)
