Indeed, my team is in 4th place on the waiting list, which means that my team is supposed to appear next season, as SCR is the 4th team that quits this season.

Such a shame by the way, to see all these old teams go..

Thank you for all your effort in all these years.

Hope you still be around with your positive input.

Enjoy your retirement and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" :)

Is S16 even gonna happen? I mean, at this point there's more than 1 month break between races. Feels pretty much dead to me...

I hope so. Still a lot of people here around, what we need is just a couple more people committed enough to RD the races.

That is exactly the point. If we remain in the current configuration I don't see a point in having a S16.

Wow, that was a very great speech and I can totally see why you're a true father of this site and a core part of a spirit of this community. Great to see you're doing it well on sorting out your prioritees and such. And it can be difficult sometimes to keep on, but we need it cos this is what the life is - moving on. On and on endlessly and foverer

And btw this came up into my mind just after I saw your message I'm answering to: sometimes I find it curious how the people call themselves anywhere - preusonyms or nicknames and such. So, your nickname over here is mortal obv, but if you'd be introducing yourself to others you'd write something like ''I'm mortal" . And if you'll leave all the gaps and other stuff aside and deal with the letters only instead - you'll get 'Immortal', and even the first letter in your original nickname here is not capitalized, so there's no need for any magic even. Hope this means something to you, bud. Thank you again for having us and letting us meet each other and have our wounderful times in the past, present and the future, mr. mortal (aka Immortal at least in my eyes)

To the rest of the guys - I could've said something like: ''Heeeey guys I can be your spare RD if you want to, and bonus - I'm not even related to any team or whatsoever, so you can trust me woohoo'' cos I can totally run up the game, hit the record button on either fraps or bandicam to record the videocoverage for ya all, but I'm not sure how it would be perceived by some guys who had troubles with me or got upset by me. So, instead I'll remind you that mr. John Maverick had proposed some time ago an idea of the team bosses being allowed to drive again. So, if you don't have enough people to fill the seats - that can solve the problem. Also there are always some new folks around and you all have your irl friends, some of you surely hang on another sites or Discord/Facebook/Telegram/YT channels related to autosport or Formula One. Tobi has his Discord channel, representing this site and even tho it is quite inactive, he or anyone else can throw a message over there. Just like anywhere else.

It is pretty obvious that this series have a positive impact on the site as a whole, I believe, and also there were times when people were more into communication and easy talks rather than seriousness and concers on the level of ''Guys, I'm anxious - don't you see that we just can not keep it on towards the next season, it a big trouble, dont you feel that? What to do anyone :-o?''. Just relax and make this place great again where people were talking casually like Dan Mills, Jake Legge, Charrel Jalving and many others did and some of you still doing, like Carlos for example. So others who had stumbled upon this place somehow see not the silence, tumbleweed gifs and anxiousness all the way long, but the cool people having their fun times, just like Stu had with his little but fun remark on the last page, which made me laugh (joke based on his AMR team being a backmarker these days ;)). That's what I wish you all, cheers

Edited 8 time(s) just to highlight the meaning of the endless forever infinity that I was into in my opening part directed to Mal (or mr. Immortal :-)(O);-)), obviously

Tho in fact it was just me usually rusty with english and removing the typos and such, but I couldn't resist with this one when I noticed the eight number which is synonym of infinity symbol. To sum this all up:

It's been a while since I last ran a round so if it would be ok with everyone I would like to run the next round.

It is possible, as in America, to introduce a third car for the team.)) The two best results count. Well, it's like a suggestion.

It’s a definitely good idea but if memory serves it would be very difficult to implement with the game as the performance data would need to be custom for all cars…or something like that.

The boost system however…that could be changed quite easily.

Can someone please recommend a good image site that I can use to upload the results tables. Imgur is still not working for me.

I'd only ever RD again if noone has any doubts about my integrity. I can laugh off some jokes about good results when RD'ing, but I don't wanna go through another witchhunt.
