I'm pleasantly surprised by the European entries, and I'm still hopeful that there will be some North and South American entries. (The time I've chosen was intended to be attractive to those in the Western Hemisphere).
If there aren't any entrants from North or South America, I'll consider changing the start time.

I'm also surprised - midnight UTC in eastern Europe is 3 AM and 2 AM at central Europe! But if you can't sleep,why not have fun racing?

In addition to the schedule in the OP, since the server is now rented and seems to be working well, there will be a Test Race this Thursday;FE25 (Classic); with qualifying starting at 2359 UTC. 15 minute qualifying followed by two 12 lap races, the second having a mandatory pit stop. It will be fairly informal, and the server won't be passworded (but mid-race join will be turned off).

Thanks to all that particpated tonight, there were some good battles even with the low numbers. I'm cautiously optimistic that the numbers will improve for the next test race next Thursday.

If points had counted (not including chat penalties) . . .

Nice races. I was hoping I could keep the first place, but it was far.
My connection looks good on replay, except for breakage. But i'm glad to see no big lags. Morning time for me very well.

I would like in the next time has been forbidden chat during sessions

Too bad about your time-out.

There is a no-chat rule and I will be enforcing it during the next test race and during the series.

Hi, can you please confirm if its B11R or BL1R?

June 30 Test Race Blackwood Grand Prix Reversed (BL1R) (15 minute qualifying / 13 lap feature / 13 lap feature)
July 7 Blackwood Historic Reversed (B11R) (15 minute qualifying / 13 lap feature / 13 lap feature)

Edit: Thanks for the clarification!

I'd like to change it to BL11R so we'll be practicing for a calendar event. If people are particularly upset about the late change, we'll go BL1R.

B11r sounds good, not much difference anyway..i hope i got time to join.

Here are the results for test event 2.
