I had a feeling something like this was coming.We couldn’t even complete the entry process.There was no contact from EWC, the organizers, or the circuit either.At worst, I was even prepared for the possibility that the Bol d’Or race itse...

Good morning.Yesterday was the test session.Originally, it was scheduled to be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon, but because of repeated red flags, it was changed into three sessions instead.By paying for two entries, it ...
