    Nope. In fact the last event around 8PM servertime was the most populated : 4 racers (almost 5 but one needed to leave). Its the events in the afternoon (morning for america) that got less ppl : the duel between Bond and Shockwave in the Royal GP (Bretonia) was a sad procession from beginning to end...

    Bond is from europe too, but that guy has some disease lol (not official one ofc...)


    In general I don't know more people from the american continent... PX, CFPD, BG, DC and IOC are from europe as I know them, not sure about some SA and UR, but some are also from europe.

    It's not too late to register a team ! you have until Round #5 to form teams of 2 (can be clanmates or freelancers or a mix of both). You don't have to participate in each race when you have a team but the more you race and perform, the more chances you get of winning an extra 25 M at the end of the season !

    [UR]Sukemasa . +0:23:00 . 0 + 4 . 4


    Seems we got a record on the opposite way :D



    Also the eta to finish the race of 10 minutes was pretty wrong :P hehe


    It was fun anyway, if it wasn't for me Forlon would have won. :P:rolleyes:
