I am afraid we won't be able to make it to the first round, but the next ones should be fine.
 
Hi everyone! If you haven't already feel free to join our discord server, where our drivers and Broadcasters can socialise and chat about the series, linked above in the thread!

A note to any GTPlanet admins that the Discord server does NOT contain any of the event information, and is for communication purposes only. Joining the server is also strictly OPTIONAL, and NOT a requirement to participate. All of the necessary event information is contained within the opening posts of the thread, and therefore doesn't break thread guidelines.
