Sweet!

I know the Cayman isn't much while it's BoP'd to Daily/FIA levels. But, the testing I've done for this race has been great, so far.

 

[El_Beardo]

You're DR:B. Right?

 

[HammyMansell]

You're DR:B. Right?

Currently yes man.......... Last week I was A/S, but got screwed in a Daily Race B Brands race, and dropped down to B....I'm about 100 DR from going back to A..... (30.000DR, atm I'm on 29.885 more or less).

Possibly, and hopefully this week I'll be back on "A" again!

Perfect! I'm hoping to do well in the Gr2 Dailies at Suzuka over the next few days, wish me luck!

 

[Kermit_2142]

Would love to but it’s probably a bit too early in the evening for me.
Thanks for the invite 👍

 

[Kevstah2004]

Hmm maybe, I know the Cayman worked well with LS.

7am Monday morning for me... sadly I have to work. Also, last few times I've seen your lobby open it's been one red bar ping. Not promising for an endurance race.

I may actually make an appearance back in the dailies for that one. As long as I can log a top 1250 quali time . .

Ah, yeah, the whole other side of the world thing can be a little tricky sometimes.

Sounds great, but at this time, I'm gonna have to pass. Tell someone who's not in the Bridgestone series to "get in there".

Thanks for the invite that looks a great event, unfortunately I'm already racing that night.
