HHMM been waiting for a new track in Arca for awhile now, finally get it and then its not even used in S9

Edit by TM - The schedule has been in development for 2 months. The new track is only hours old, but I promise we will get it on the S9 schedule

It's great to see the E21 series added. I requested that mod when I noticed it and while I can no longer commit to running a series (F1 is priority) I will definitely try to make an event or two. Really fun cars.

S9 has a really good selection for everyone. Good show.

Sad to see Barcelona gone from F1. I felt good there.

Fantastic to see some championship qualifiers during the week! What a surprise! Thanks!

Sad to see Race07 completely abandoned in S9.

Yes...CCWS has 2-new tracks and hopefully we can get the NEW mid-ohio to replace the old version. The series is gonna rock S9 again...with a surprise yet to come.

No way!!! I just bought race 07 specifically for race2Play Only to see its completely ditched?

Tim PLEASE could you re-introduce it? The grids were pretty good, and in general no one seemed to have problems, especially in the WTC class. Shame to see my timing of purchasing this game so horribly wrong.

I understand you must have a good reason for this anyhow, so don't worry about ti too much :)

Is there any sub classes that use race 07? Like FBMW?

TBH race2play is the only place i would use race 07, as i don't do leagues.

Other than that, a very nice full schedule, thanks Tim!

I bought Race07 just for R2P too, but at this moment I dont feel I'll miss it, multy is a little buggy.
So much better season than 8, more GTR2 too which actually is getting only dust on my HD...
The only thing I dont like is Eusakdi and F1 so close in times in some Sundays.
I think I'll take a break from GTL, but how it'll work with mixed classes?
BTW I must look better all the single champs, but I like this season!

PS: Tim, is it possible to find the calendar in xls or pdf file? Maybe I'm wrong but I think I saw that in previous seasons :)
Thanks

Thanks for having a weeknight qualifier! I am also suprised to see Race 07 disappear. Should be an interesting season. So the top 5 in the weeknight qualifiers will qualify for the World Championship? Nevermind, I figured it out.

Looking very very good. IMO best setting of all seasons so far and what a nice time to start it since I have no school until October, so Joco is happy :)
