Handicapping
There will be no handicapping.  The tokens system will be used which is actually a chassis levelling system, not a form of handicapping.

There is no red zone for this championship. Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents do carry an extra 1 place penalty.

Only reported incidents will be moderated.

If you would like to enter this series please submit an entry in the poll.

As promised we have created a new 67 championship for Privateers. Just about everything is the same as the Works apart from intermediate damage  / one Reset. Following consultation the mod team has allocated drivers to this division. Please click on the link above to see. It won't be perfect. If you think you are in the wrong place then send a PM to me or Samb.

I've re-applied for the series [think I was removed due to an account issue]

But it's good to see there has been sufficient takers to warrant 2x grids!

Cheers,
Dave.

The registration system does seem to be behaving strangely. If you don't see your name in the Privateers table please vote again in this thread.

Thanks.

I#m confused, can't find myself. Feels like middle of nowhere (maybe the right spot)

I've added you manually.  Good luck for the season.

It is because I've had to move people manually, effectively bypassing the registration system.  Saves asking drivers to submit a second registration but it I accept it has caused some confusion.

Hi Guys,
 Re registered as requested via PM. Still unsure how many races I can make Sunday evenings can be a bit unpredictable but I'll do my best to make as many as I can.

TTFN
John

Hi guys,
it's been a long long time...
I really hoped all my rig issues are really solved.
I just registered.
See you all on track.
Cheers

BTW
I'm a right foot braker since some weeks, that means I'll be really slower than in the past...

Hello folks, re-registered as requested via private message - glad to see I'm in the Privateers division, been away from GPL a while, and not proving as quick as I used to be... Less crash-prone (against the AI anyway), so hopefully that'll be useful!

I've removed my vote as a part-timer and applied it to full-time. I hope this is permissible. My situation has changed recently for the better.

This does not warrant investigation :)  but  <SHOCK!>  it appears that a number of participants were expecting/committed to less than 75% attendance,  but have scored in 80% of events!    [although on the other hand, full time participants would only score in 80% anyway once the 2x lowest results are dropped...]

So congrats DaveR & Bastian on being the highest-placed FT participants!   :D

Just joshing of course - congrats Fulvio & John.

ok, I'm done now.  Nurse!
