While I won't be racing and looking to mainly broadcast Pcars next year, I'll look at trying one of the triple sprint rounds for Forza and see if I can do something with the spectator mode on this. Pretty much anything with a pit stop as part of the race will likely throw me totally off. The sprint ones should be do-able.

So do we sign up using the main site or here

There will be... alternate methods, in the future.

#1 - CrashCaderz - Aus-Gear Motorsport - Holden

#170 - x06 The Doc 06x - TBA Team - TBA Car (Most likely Holden)

I can't commit to the full 2017 season as I'll be travelling for work, but I would love to participate as an extra if the numbers don't reach 22.

TBA team name and car.
