[Marko Buhin]

just to bring it on top as its the 1st race tomorrow

and i hope there will be more than 4 redistered

 

[Dazmaniac]

well that was a little disappointing..

I concur my good man.

 

[Marko Buhin]

2 days to race and only 3 registered! what you others dont like lotus or is it just not enough time?

 

[Onno Naber]

Disappointing start off a not to be race,we where hooping on a few more entrees but the did not show.
Thanks to RD for putting up this event and hope it will work out better next time.

[Eric Estes]

Love the track, love the car, just solidly within my workday (3 pm here).

 

[Onno Naber]

Yes I am in :letsgoracing:

 

[Marko Buhin]

ehh, well that will always be the problem, 1am currently here and a working day tomorrow morning for me too. so only 5-6 hours of sleep. later than this is the problem for European drivers, and this early is problem for American drivers. All in all weekend is a good time to host a race

 

[George Pilkington]

Come on people, get in there lets have a laugh!
COME ON!
George

 

[Marko Buhin]

yes, i was wrong
now lets hope there will be enough of us to race

 

[Marko Buhin]

okay, this was a fast 1

 

[Onno Naber]

Yes,once again disappointing only Marko and myself showed up!,really starting to reconsider giving up my free time to this!!!

 

[Marko Buhin]

Well, 5 for today registered, only 2 showed up. But the thing is that i went home earlier from 1 meeting as hoped there will be a great race with this little cars

 

[Dazmaniac]

really starting to reconsider giving up my free time to this!!!

Aye, the midweek races scheduled could end up in the pit garage, the way things are going.

I appreciate not everyone can make themselves available for the early evening GMT start times (especially our friends in the US timezones), but then if that's the case, don't sign up. If you then do find you are free to race, join the server.

I guess we could start setting some criteria for the midweek races where a minimum number of racers are required to have signed up for the hosted session to be enabled. Then, if someone has signed up and is a no-show (and not given word they will be absent) some form of penalty is applied. I know it's not my place to be making rules, but I think its something that should be given some thought.

Basically, only sign up to a race if you are definitely going to turn up. This helps whoever is hosting the session to make the decision if it is required or not. Can't see the point in folks pissing money away like has been the case the last few nights.

Mustang @ Sebring - 4
Trucks @ Daytona - 3
MX-5 @ Brands Hatch - 2

 

[George Pilkington]

Sorry Daz, I was down for Sebring but forgot it...
Perhaps we should just have a mid week 'Boogie' with multiple nice cars? Bit of a race at the end? Praps I shuold just shut up and show up eh?
: )

[Marko Buhin]

Mustang @ Sebring - 4
Trucks @ Daytona - 3
MX-5 @ Brands Hatch - 2

I agree with you fully on that Dazz,its to much and to easy and a complete wast off money if you ask me,and more important, not doing any good to RD

 

[Flavien Vidal]

I should be doing a few laps @ an actual racetrack this sunday so I might not be able to be there. If I change plans I'll register

 

[Oscar Sahlin]

really sorry guys for yesterday. this totally slipped my mind. I bought a couch from a friend of mine. we moved it in, watched tv, then he went home, and I had totally forgotten about this race. I even sat down and practice mustang at daytona, and never thought about any mx5 event.. so sorry guys.

on topic, I agree with daz. we could have a minimum number of racers required for a hosted session. great idea m8!

 

[Joe Hubbard]

I'm in

 

[George Pilkington]

Nice one Joe.
If we dont get too many then I suggest that we have a training train and all go around Spa together... could be lots of fun huh?
