It is a tough one for me too as DMR owner!
I am hoping/trying to keep my team high up in the constructors championship - that means i want the best perf rated drivers I can have in my seats. If that means Jake, so be it....
Seb and Mathew are well and truly safe in the team, for as long as they wish to be a part of it.
I would be happy to send Jake off to Snake for now, even as a temporary loan - BUT if i need him back with his decent perf for the final round or two, to try and defend our teams constructors position, i think i should have EVERY right to do so! Happy to help Snake out, but i also need to put my own team first....
Snake have had bad luck, but like all teams, they need to find those reliable drivers!
SO, Here is my deal
Legge OUT, off to Snake.
Allington IN to race seat for season remainder, pending any emergency recall of Legge!
GPGSL Team Owner Debut - Melbourne, Season 8 - present
GPGSL Test Debut - Hungary, Season 4. GPGSL Race Debut - Adelaide, Season 5.

About the Snake driver's situation, maybe I can be of some assistance?
Chester said hello Mal with his tail wagging but is not going near Eric, senses mistrust

Well, what a pity you didn't even talk to me about this! Could have easily accomodated this for you at Demon!
Seems this whole thing could have been avoided, had you had bothered to speak to me about it.....
Oh well, we move on. No genuine animosity from me, just disappointment....

Well, that would have been an epic move

I never thought I'd see such a conflict of interests here. And people think this series isn't realistic

We could technically recall Carlos from ONE, only to loan him immediately to Snake for the remainder of the season, before sending him back on loan to ONE for S10
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22
Season 9: Constructors' Champions

Perhaps at the next Team Owners meeting, we declare all "loan" driver deals, null and void! Who you have driving for you is who you "own" and that is that! Might just take away any arguing and/or confusion..... Yes, this would effect my plans too!

I'm not a fan of a solution like this. It's your choice to either let him go or not, but recalling a driver just because you're worried about your wcc place sounds stupid to me, with no offence. If you think he can make a difference then just avoid to let him go.
From what I understand Greg offered himself publically. And besides him I think that the other testers should be interested in a racing opportunity (besides the ones competing for the tdc I mean).
With this said, I hope that the matter is solved as soon as possible (even if it doesn't affect next round).

Well if Ruben jumps ship at TSM i could give up my One Racing testdrive and even stop my role as VSM Teamboss. Matteo could then takeover the managing role untill VSM closes their doors permanently...
What do you rulemakers think of that, should be legal right?
Ofcourse even then we need an ok from Tom.

GPGSL Rd 14 Czech GP – Tester’s Free Practice
Hello and welcome to Brno, the venue of the GPGSL Czech GP. We are getting closer to the end of the season, and the current championship fight is between both MPR drivers and SCR’s Joseph Gilson. We’ll see them in action later on, as for now we have the tester’s getting ready for the free practice session. AMR’s Christopher Hinz and SCR’s Maikel De Boer will be hoping to set the best possible laptime so they can have a good chance at taking the tester’s championship lead. Will they be able to do it? Stay tuned for all the answers. So, without further ado, let’s head trackside as the RD gets ready to press the green button to get this session underway.
Weather Report
The first man out for the first group of drivers is Demon’s Jake Legge.
As such, he is the first to set a laptime.
Jalving, who is doing double duty this weekend, is unable to better Legge’s laptime.
Demon Racing owner Sheppard goes 2nd fastest to make it a Demon 1-2.
A poor lap from McGregor sees the MAC Racing owner go slowest.
Michail puts in a good laptime and slots into 3rd.
The other MAC Racing car of Cremasco goes faster.
Mills manages to go faster still.
Thomas in his Shadow manages to go 4th fastest.
Paddock goes 2nd fastest and splits the Demons.
Domenech puts in a good laptime to go 4th fastest.
De Bruyker in his One puts in a decent laptime and goes 6th fastest.
With the first group’s first run now completed, let’s check out the current standings.
Stoddart gets the second group of drivers first run underway.
He sets his laptime, but it’s only good enough for 11th fastest.
Van Smirren in the other One puts himself inside the top 10.
Hayes in the second Snake manages to go faster than the One.
AMR owner Ingers goes 3rd fastest.
De Boer goes 6th fastest, and will probably feel slightly disappointed with his lap.
Keranen in the second TNR goes 17th fastest.
13th for Hinz is not what he would’ve wanted.
O’Brien in the second SCR comes across the line, and goes almost half a second faster than Legge to take 1st with a brilliant lap.
Hunsley goes 13th fastest.
Kittleson can only manage to go 16th fastest with his laptime.
Schroder, who is making his final appearance in the GPGSL this weekend, goes 12th fastest.
With all drivers now having completed their first run, let’s check out the current standings.
Cremasco gets the second runs underway for the first group of drivers.
Thomas improves himself up to 8th.
McGregor sets a better laptime than before, and moves up from 21st to 17th.
De Bruyker improves, and moves back up to 6th.
Jalving improves up to 14th, but he’ll most likely be more focused during the full qualifying.
With the first group of drivers having now completed both their runs, let’s check out the current standings.
Van Smirren gets the final runs underway for the second group of drivers.
Hinz improves himself up to 10th, but still remains behind De Boer.
Keranen improves, but still remains at the back.
Hayes improves on her laptime, but doesn’t move up any positions.
Hunsley sets a better laptime, and moves up 3 positions.
Kittleson improves in his Shadow, but only moves up a few positions.
All drivers have now finished both of their runs, so let’s check out the final standings.
Congratulations Greg O’Brien and Southern Cross Racing, our Rd 14 free practice winners. We hope you enjoyed the coverage, and we’ll see you all back here tomorrow when we get set for the start of qualifying.
