Yes. Nas is scared. The Internet is a scary place.
 
I will still be Gary Slater since that's my real name.
 
Michael White will be my alias if we go that direction.

Didn't say you couldn't so chill out. Just saying its your name, not your phone number or other personal information.
 
This is why so many series just use usernames. The few that aren't for it bomb it for the many because they're too lazy to think of a pseudonym for a minute or two at most. Which is funny when it comes to some because it's really too easy to weasel through and find it out anyways. Anyways, since the vote is 21-8 with less than 2 days remaining, it's safe to say that first and last names are a secured deal. Those that don't comply will be omitted from the entry list. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned. I've laid out the rules to follow. You can use your real name if you want. Others have found perfectly fine aliases as alternatives. Deadline is the end of the month for the names.

33 drivers at the moment, which means we are flat even with Indy 500 numbers. So congrats another milestone accomplished. Car reveals are rolling in nicely. 9 have been officially completed, 8 of which full time.
 
DISCLAIMER: I have permission to post the following roleplay report. These kinds of reports require the series organizer's consent before being published, and should not be done often to keep from altering the championship.
July 19, 2015--Detroit, Michigan--The Michigan International Raceway has filed a formal complaint against Virtual Reality Racing following being left off of the 2016 Straight Talk IndyCar Series calendar. A statement from the venue explained why the step was made:

The officials and organizers of Michigan International Speedway feel as if there have been preferential treatment towards select venues that made it onto the calendar. VRR had made it clear to us that there were issues around the venue, specifically around the garage area, which need small renovations to aid the technology around the Dallara DW12 chassis. We agreed to terms that would see us make those changes and be ready in time for a fall 2016 date, a date that has since been filled and surrounded by international events in the series. We are filing this complaint not in an effort to join the 2016 calendar, but to secure a race in 2017 and beyond. We feel that we can bring an exciting race to the Straight Talk IndyCar Series and there is a viable fanbase here in Michigan and the Great Lakes Canadian region to make this event succeed without altering the existing events in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, or Pennsylvania. This complaint has been filed directly to Virtual Reality Racing in a hope to revive and secure our communication and stable working relationship.

Attempts to contact VRR officials have been unsuccessful thus far.

Thank you for posting that disclaimer, not that anyone reads disclaimers, but thanks for adding that.
 
My name options are:

A: Matthew Evans
B: Tim Kourting

Hoping I can use the first one as he's my "development driver".

Both work, so option A it is.
 
It's better if it the names could be established at the beginning of the sign ups. More organized that way.
 
I'll go with Gizmo Fonseca-Vargas, my nickname and last name since I don't really care about privacy to be honest :p
 
Thats a name
But I will go with Jacob Birmingham from the United States more specifically Washington DC
 
I will be using the Name that I have used from GTR2 series, Pedro Harsk.
 
Going to officially close team registrations. We have 34 drivers. If there happen to be two more signups, they'd have to be from Honda powered teams.

Response to the Michigan complaint will be coming soon from VRR main office.

VRR IndyCar commentators, I will inform you all on a possible procedure the series will be doing for the race videos.

Important announcement coming from the Coca-Cola Black Rose Racing camp Thursday from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course where team testing has been going on.
 
Cherokee, North Carolina, United States--A garage fire broke out in the main garage hub for Cherokee Motorsports, a prominent team in the VRR Straight Talk IndyCar Series and its Road To Indy program Tuesday. Sources have said that a significant amount of damage was done to the complex, which housed a wind tunnel, multi tier assembly complex, and visitor's center. Driver/Owner Clayton Hardy was at Rockingham Speedway in the state shaking down their first Dallara DW12 IndyCar when the fire broke out. He released a statement saying "The destruction of our center of operations has definitely caught us off guard, but we will continue to work ahead towards the season. Our operations will shift to our Formula One base in Italy while we assess and repair the damage. I'll know more of the season plans once we understand the extent of the damage."
