Chapter 7 – Manufacturer Deals Welcome to the most important decision you can make this season! You basically have 2 options : Either you remain a privateer and purchase two (or more) customer GT3 cars from one of the customer lists below, or you choose to go BIG and accept a special manufacturer d...

Sorry, had a brainfart and thought I had already signed a manager That is quite the oversight, indeed. Kinda reminds me of Wulfhard, the proud warrior of my group, who dove head-first into a band of ogres armed to their teeth, completely blacking out on the fact that his trusted bastard sword had b...

Seeing that everyone made the deadline, except novitopoli, I think it's only fair to let Ines Koschutnig accept the offer from KV Racing Technology (CaptainGetz12) as a consequence, simply because his final bid arrived well in time. Now on to the penultimate round of the Team Manager signing. Teams...

The deadline is closing in, and I still need novitopoli's bids!

You still need to post either an update on your bid for Ines Koschutnig or an alternative for any of the other Team Managers on the list.

Alright, because I’ve already received all updates on your bids, I see no reason not to cut the current deadline short by a few days. So, on to Round 3!

Umm, isn't Maria de Villiota dead? Yes, in reality she is. Just like Annette Meeuvissen.

It's good work of you to be able to nail down the source of those figures, and I do agree that those values do sound more credible, not to mention tying in to what some restorers have also suggested.

Okay, now it's getting interesting.

I've found the article I was looking for! It wasn't in a book, though, I only had it printed out, that's why I remembered a physical copy!

I understand and I empathise. I am disappointed too, as I have wanted to see how this turns out. Me too, believe me! But maybe we can still turn this around somehow...
