Awww no Orido!?!? ANyways, Yah I saw the date too on dec 18, how you gonna compete for drivers search, then I guess you better be ready for full on heavy action?? lol. Better have a durable car I guess.. Or Drivers search in the first session, then they grab a few people, then automatically put them in elimination rounds againts teh other D1 guys.

[bustav13t]

they should have non pro jap drivers vs non pro us drivers, then it would be sorta fair.
