It would be great to still get a chance of entering the competition... Too bad I didn't find information about this event earlier, otherwise I would have made it in the first 50 subscriptions at least.
Omg, me too, signed up me and my teammate in the last moment
I really dont see reason to take only 50 drivers, there's pre-qualifying system anyway, its not important how many drivers enter pre-qualifications, only the best 32 will enter race.. It's bad to see fast guys like Rudy on reserves list..
The reason that we have 50 drivers is that it is managable and that ultimately there will be a good mix of drivers involved. If we opened it to say 100 people, then it is likely that only the top 50 drivers would ever get into the actual races.
Also - having such a large driver pool could mena that the championship is dominanted by just a few drivers who manage to get into every race.
With 50 there will be a solid core that will score every race and some others that will also race regulalry.
LAst season we took 40 drivers and it worked well, this season we have expanded it a bit further to cope with 50.
Altohugh it is disappointing that some people are ot of the top 50, we are very happy with the racers that we have got in the initial 50. I think the season will be great and that hopefully the situation is such that all 50 racers have the potential to make it oth the grid on at least one occasion thorugh out the season and of they fail to make the cut for round 1, they will be more determined and faster at round 2 to make up for it .
What if matti pesonen enters the league? I mean, if he joins now? Actually the SignUp for the Core 50 is closed... but as he is the Champion he shouldn't be on the reverse list!
i think he really would have signed up already if he was interested but if he was to thn i would say put it to 51 drivers as a special case but that is unfair so no, very tough little thing there
I can see that the thread says CLOSED, but a Mr Dru said I could sign up, and take a seat in the reserve list. So if you don't mind, I will sit in this reserve list, reading a magazine until it is my time to race.

Attached you can see a couple of laps (and a third lap containing an epic fail) of me having fun (driving) with the car.
