English regulation's link doesn't show regulations. Instead it says I'm not allowed to visit that web-page. Anyway, I've sent my sign up already.

I did read the english regulations during night, strange. And yes, this looks very cool.

I'm not registered at PG. Do you?

Eh, actually you don't need to create a PGR account to participate in PGR F1 Series. It's just a compo organised by Planet GeneRally community. All the results will be posted at the blog (and here?) anyway

Yup, but I wasn't logged in there at that moment, so it has no impact.

Edit: XYY was faster.

Yeah, I realize that, but still: I can't read the rules.

Concerning the availability of the Sporting Regulations:

Sorry, I was working on the regulations. The updated version is now online. I solved the problem with the hyperlinks and added Article 2.6.

On future applicants:

At the moment we have already 19 sign ups. There's no real chance to grab a seat at Lotus-Renault, Williams, Sauber and Team Lotus anymore. I will update the Entry List later.

On the game pack:

The game pack is now available!

When will you show the list of accepted racers?

Entry List will be updated this weekend. I will send a mail with some information on other things, too. So I can do it all at once.

[EDIT 16:50 GMT, 23/10/11] Entry List updated!

And here is the official trailer of the PGRF1 Series 2011:
Have fun and enjoy:



Gentleman, start your engines!

Check out the latest interview with race evaluator Majortom!

I am may sound silly but how come there is a Tyrell Team???
Is it to make up numbers

Yes, it's an additional team as it would not be clever to shut the door on 2 entrants.

Thats a good idea, also the reason I didnt join as I thought when all the teams were full that would be it

It depends on how many entrants you can sensibly handle. If there were another 20 people wanting to join, I would think about some sort of restriction. But 3 or 4 more is no big deal.
Apart from that, it's unlikely to believe that nobody will quit during the season.

When will we get login info?

It's about time you get it. Majortom was talking to me yesterday if I could add some e-mail adresses to his entry list. So I did and I guess he's about to send you that particular mail this night or the night after.

He might still be at work and hasn't read my mails.

Login info was send. Please check your mail.

If you have no mail, look in spam directory or ask via pm/mail/forum

Guys, don't forget that my nickname is Gzehoo, not Ghezoo!

Gzehoo <-- right

Ghezoo <-- wrong

I remember - sorry

Login now works with Gzehoo
