Round 8 : Mexico 480km

For two-drivers teams:

DO NOT log into the race server as an individual driver on race day. The only driver for each team who should be on the server before the race, is the driver who will qualify the car. We only have so many slots on the server and an individual driver may take up a team's slot or car number. We DO NOT want to keep resetting the server because people are not paying attention to what they're doing. Practice only with your team's name and number.

Salut a tous
Nous ne pourrons pas participer à cette course
Pas eu assez de temps pour la préparer correctement.
Vraiment désolé Antoine ce n’est pas n’autre habitude
De ne pas tenir notre engagement.
Mai avec la préparation des 1000Km au Ring.
Trop de chose a régler sur Rfactor, qui est nouveau pour moi.
A bientôt

Yannick

Cannot make the final race of 2009. But I am looking forward to racing at HSO in this series in 2010.
