17 is already taken, you'll have to pick a different number.

Sorry about that - I didn't check

I will take 99 please

@Adam Barber Actually would it be ok if I changed my race number to #87, just thinking ahead for my livery, apologies.

Yeah, no problem.

 

[Michelin Man]

Ta muchly 👍.

 

[Pigems]

Just thought you could try swapping the colours around, see what works. Just a suggestion mind.

I’ll play with some other colours and see what I can come up with.

I'll go TBD for number for now. See what I can find in the livery section

 

[Drex124]

Sucks to hear that, how far out is the time for you?

Basically anything between 7 and 8 pm eastern is a no go for me. That's dinner time for the dogs and the family, and annoying either is probably not a great idea.

The finish time is close to 7, I may be able to start it a little earlier if that'd help?

 

[Stencedaddy]

Can i switch to the NSX? Idk why I didn't pick it to begin with.

Yeah, there's still space available.

You're right, I misread the times, it should be fine without needing to change the start time.

What? No more Tim the Toolman?

 

[Pigems]

What? No more Tim the Toolman?

He’s currently in hospital recovering from a minor injury that happened in practice today, but don’t worry, he’s gonna be just fine. We’re not certain yet, but it looks like someone had cranked up the boost on the car prior to practice this afternoon, the team said it was running around 1000hp at the time of the crash. No one saw anyone around, or near the car before hand though, we’re still investigating the incident.

For some reason that "DeWalt" feels like it should say "Ryobi" .
