So sorry for the delay on updating the thread. RL and all that.

Please post up your chosen race numbers so that I can update the Driver Line up. When creating your liveries please use number "Type 15" in the "Racing Items" options of the Livery editor. Be sure to use your chosen number.

If anyone is in need of a livery for this series you can check out my Gallery and PM me if there is one you'd like me to adjust to fit this series. Take a look here as well:

Number 9, because the game won't let me do 09

I don't know how often I can race but I'll let you know when I can show up.
 
Hey guys just an FYI, I will be hosting this evening, so be sure to send me a friend request. Also make sure your cars meet the spec and livery requirements.
 
I'll be there. Just have to make a quick livery this afternoon. Same for tomorrow night, I just won't do the oval tracks.

I don't have the right rims though, can I leave them stock?

That's not really my call since I'm just a host this evening. I don't think it's a big deal though.
 
I will update the roster tonight.

A reasonable fascimile is acceptable. Remember that they are +1 in size.
 
Make sure I am on your friend list as this is a private lobby.
