@Areen: You are not blacklisted - you only won the "bronze" classification, which means you'll of course be promoted to silver for the next season.

Now, normally I would write "gud race gaiz" right now, but today's victory is something kinda special. It's something sort of symbolic. The black-list in GRC is a list containing a number of GeneRally's fastest racers, and GRC's champions of past. On face value it means I'm crowned champion just like 17 other guys in that list - but deep inside me, that means a little bit more. That same list has GeneRally's racing legends on it - TuomoH, Alx.it, Raska, jo.sk, Richard Keen (Rich.K), and so many more. It's sort of like being inducted into a hall of fame, almost. Although GRC advertises itself as a championship for amateurs and rookies, the championship this season was contested hotly by some of the community's newest rising stars and battle-torn old hands. Me, almost (yes, almost, I'll explain this a little later) single-handedly triumphing over these "almost-pros" is nothing short of a great achievement.

That said, I think I should give a big shout out to especially to some of my friends and idols out there...
Trigger Happy - For the spiritual support and advice on each and every race. I think I might've lost if you didn't tell me to not give up and keep on the good fight.
mplume - You crazy fast ******* ;) Even though I've defeated you fair and square five out of six times this season, I still think you should be crowned champion. Your dedication to competing in the GRC is excellent and it has really driven me to push myself beyond what I would've thought I could do two or three years ago. It takes a lot to get someone to do that.
James C. and Buka - Organizing this awesome compo, duh. As long as you're around we can always expect to have at least a few new rookies on the block.
Alx.it, Raska, and Murano - My idols in GR racing... you guys bring me new inspiration every day :)

I also wanna thank all of the other racers for supporting a great competition :) Hope to see you all next season - watch for the black shirt and pink hat in your stands next time around :p

Seems it was quite a good racing season with very few training ;)
9th place in total is fine for me, and 4th in bronze of course too :bsmile:

I don't understand why I'm blacklisted, I don't win any GRC race and I'm far from the 10 victories in GWR supported events.

Maybe because of that? 6.12.2b - However, the organizer may freely add any driver to the black list if he considers that he did good enough performances in GRC (by scoring impressive victories for example).

But I have no impressive victories... :weep:

I think 6 podiums in 6 races are too much for GRC. And you have got more points than Calders - the winner - in previous season.

So, any plans to use the SDR RD01 next season?

The creator of it is blacklisted after all so nobody has an advantage ;)

I don't see any reason why not. It is a lot more powerful than the FR/13 and more power leads to more mistakes which would make more exciting races and surprising results.

Professional? If anything the RD01 is simply a small step up from the FR/13.

You haven't driven the updated version yet clearly...

(but please, discussion about the RD-01 in it's own thread - this is about the GRC)

Best start is to look and/or ask in Help and advice subforum instead of bumping old topic, which will confuse other people around. ;)

BTW focus there on sticky topic related to dll files.
