This is the problem for me. I would love to run some race weekends but I don't have the means to do so. I only have one laptop which is owned by my employer so that is out of the question.
And honestly, even if I did have a computer, I wouldn't know the first thing about how to get it to work.
Is there an option where 1 person could run the race and then hand the screenshots off to another person to edit and post?
This might help to spread the work load and entice people that can't run the game to help out a little.
I have full statistics and race result tables from the entire series all the way back to race one. I enjoy entering the stats and data into the table after each race and I don't want that to end.
