Well, guys. I think Tim Roedl hasn't conditions to continue on GPGSL. I'll wait an answer of him, but I need a new test-driver.
Is anything interested?

Seems that there is no one on the driver's waiting list. If you need a new test driver, and no one ends up taking the spot, then you may need to put either Carlos or Stefen in the seat similar to how Charrel was doing test sessions for MPR. This would only be until someone who is interested in joining the series shows up, then they can take the test seat.

I don't think the boost post has been posted yet. Just thinking though if it's worth applying for a boost for Spa.

By loosing ten points in the WCC
And probably some places in the standings, so getting a lower rank at the end of the championship, meaning a lower team slot for next season.
Well, obviously, cars and drivers are not directly penalized in their perf, I agree with you. But as a team member I feel concerned by the results of the team and of my team mates in the main championship. I'm happy when they win, sad when they get backward, and unhappy when the team get a penalty, hence my disagreement here. I just wanted to point it out, but if I'm the only one to think it's unfair maybe I get it wrong.

There is no proof, yet, that a lower team slot means any disadvantage for the next season. In fact we've had quite a few teams who had a really good rise from one of the lower slots. Think of SCR and Christel, just to name two. And of course you shall be concerned about this, this is part of being a part of this series. But like you said, a direct disadvantage for a driver can't be seen in this scenario. It's a driver's job to be active for the team and it's a team owner's job to be active and available for their drivers. One penalty isn't a big deal and can always happen. If it happens more often, it's a driver's choice to try and get a seat in another team, with a more active team owner, for the next season. So I think this is just a fair penalty to team owners without disadvantages for their drivers. Much fairer, at least, than reducing the team's perf.

I wouldn't call rock bottom in the drivers championship a rise. Mind you I know what you mean, we did have a good year last year. I completely agree with he penalty system at the moment. By taking a points reduction in the Constructors it doesn't hurt the drivers in the drivers championship. Mind you, I hardly think the biggest problem at the moment is the penalty system...

No, this wasn't a reference to Mal, but just a general statement. Everybody can unexpectedly run into a warning, so I don't consider one warning to reflect an unreliable team owner. Especially not in Mal's case.

As true as that may be, if the 75% chance of rain does indeed make it rain, then any boost I apply for would most likely be of no use to me. Therefore I will wait until the next race to use a boost.
