[Bruce]

time to did out my Dog Walkers paint scheme. I'm pretty sure I did this livery for the BT20 as well.

[Mauro]

Good choice classic bt20 :-)

p.s. In case of website problems, this is a sr4l discord channel https://discord.gg/43ywFW8
(14 sr4l drivers are registered)

[Bruce]

Which number do I use for this series, the position I finished in the 911 or the 917, and Does Dimitris want to join me again this season?

[Dimitris Papps]

I will gladly join you one more time Bruce!
But i will miss some races...sorry...

[Bruce]

No probs.

I've got skins for the BT 20 just need a bit of tweaking. Same as we used for the Eve

[Daniel Tani]

Would it be possible to flip-flop the "Fun Events" with the BT20 races? I don't plan on running the Fun Events, as of yet, a rearranging of the races would make it easier for me to participate. If changing conflicts with others' schedules or whatnot then I understand that it is not possible.

[gorgias1976]

The initial idea is to start as soon as posible (next week). Fun events are always run the week before, so people can get to know the track better for the BT20 league race.
If people don't mind to delay all the calendar one week, discuss it here (Keeping in mind the Easter Holidays weekend will have no racing).

[1959nikos]

As long as races are on Sunday the hour we all know and Season races are every second Sunday, anything is ok with me, I prefer later than sooner as I have a rig to build.

[bullwinkle]

I have no issues to delay one more week

[gorgias1976]

Let's move everything a week further.

Think in a Fun event prior to the first official fun event so we can race something the 25th. ;D

[gorgias1976]

Dates updated, season to start on March the 4th

[bullwinkle]

Gorka You could set up some sort of fun race with a modern car for Feb 25th just to get people back in the mood and excited to race.

[gorgias1976]

Let's do some track with the Caterham, some track which is not likely to be raced this season. Paul, can you set a server for it?
I'll make an announcement next week

[Daniel Tani]

Gorgias and Everyone~Many, Many Thank You's for the altering of the racing schedule. It will make it far less complicated for me as well as to simply participate. To show my appreciation I will be handling the server cost, the 50 Euros, for the duration of the season. Thank You All!

[mel1c]

Wow, very generous Daniel. Very 8)

[dan bayford]

That's very very generous Daniel thank you man

[Bruce]

That's very generous of you Daniel. I may even let you beat me (I let most people do this so maybe that is not such a big deal).

[myself9]

Wow, Dan, thanks! Very generous of you.

And thanks to all for pushing the schedule back a week so I could have my teamie

[1959nikos]

Wow, Dan, thanks! Very generous of you.

And thanks to all for pushing the schedule back a week so I could have my teamie

The negotiations were hard, but I would even agree for an icecream
