Nordic Rally Championship server is currently not working/appearing on server list.

Since nobody from LFS Forum seems to be showing interest, I've decided to keep things updated in the Facebook group only.

Forgot to share this here, the annual FinnCup Crash Special.

Here are the final results of the FinnCup Season 2019.

The Season is now over and I'm already working on with Season 2020 in our facebook group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/856450944452481

Considering how little interest the championship got here in the LFS Forum, how could I attract more drivers from here?
More visibility and faster results in the Forum in general? Something else?
I really want some feedback and I hope to get new drivers outside the rally community for next year.
