I already asked to join this race and I'm so much looking forward to that. Now as I already said, my friend Joao (he'd been racing here but took a long break from GTR2) wants to race as well. He can't post by now cause he doesn't have internet so this is just to ask if he can be racing as well for this one, he has already read the rules and downloaded all needed. He'd pick up a (standard) Porsche GT3-RS, thanks

How's your buddy Joao gonna race without the net? As long as he's up to speed with the rules (one pitstop, particularly read about the starting proceedure!) he should be cool to join. If I were you guys I'd join the praccy server tonight or earlier tomorrow to make sure you can get in in your chosen cars and to make sure your connections are up to it. Oh - and it's required that newbies run into as many Leg-ends as possible!

Yep no problems with his net, just that he doesn't have it at weekends. I have already joined the server and there's no problems, indeed on Tuesday we'll join earlier

Seems like May, the Month of lovers, struck fully up in the far North (we have June here already ). All the best on your married path, Paul. Hope we have a high quality race in Tuesday - like the season was. TT

I cant believe how i'm losing time. After some online practise i'm 0.9 slower than offline, but i can be 0.6 down on some people's time upto the 2nd sector but seem to lose nearly a second through the last sector which is just a chicane and a straight!

Goddards (the chicane) is critical to a good lap here. the big dipper in the braking zone makes it difficult to get set up for a quick run through it.

I was surprised how close they all were. I think I had 0.3sec between all the cars I tried. Should be a good one.

A climactic championship final showdown between the Legends, TS Juniors and the Kerbies tonight Should be great. I noticed a couple of new drivers are attending, dont they have to wait until reserves time to join? Im sure the regular champ contenders would be a bit miffed if they couldnt get in the server. I wouldnt want or expect anyone to compromise their own race but i hope people will be aware of the big fight going on this evening as Donington can get a little crowded on track
