choices

Two things: first of all (and I could have left this until the RNG and given him alarmingly low odds), but we're talking ELMS here. It's a series nobody really cares about. I don't think Bourdais or Duval would be remotely interested. Anyone else who feels they've been a bit optimistic may want to review their picks.

Secondly, it's come to my attention that Beauchene's not actually ever done any canon races so he's been bumped down to Bronze. You may wish to redraft your choices in light of this.

This is all a mess. If you were doing a single-car entry with two drivers it would be fine, but you've got two cars and I assume you're after three drivers for each one.

Take the first car. If you want three drivers, name three options for each of those drives available (so that's a total of nine drivers) so you have back-ups. Then do the same for the second car.

Hinchcliffe's not going to do ELMS, you'd be VERY lucky to land De Vries, and Emerson Fittipaldi is 73.

As noted in edits to my earlier driver bidding post, BORC have now decided to run three drivers in our LMP3 car following the (possibly part-time, due to F3 Asia commitments) signing of Joo-Woon Song (who is a silver-ranked driver) to the team, which has been confirmed by DemocalypseNow.

Since you're having a bit of trouble, I'll give you some free advice: no active NASCAR driver is gonna up sticks for a random no-name series somewhere in Europe. If you want one, go for somebody who's been forced out of active competition, like, say, Greg Biffle or Brian Vickers.

Erica B. Mancino (Italian, Bronze) is interested in a drive.

I'll go for Biffle. Yes it's a bit tough for me but thanks for the advice.

Since it looks like nobody's taken them, I'd like to apply for the vacant JMW team slot in GTE

LATE CHANGE:

With today's (real-life) news that AVF is joining the ELMS grid, I'm going to scale Graff down to just the #30 and give AVF the #31.

If anyone would like to run that (preferably a new entrant, but I'll go for anyone who's only running an P3 or a GTE team) then please say.

I'd like to offer three of my former IPCC drivers to this series for 2020:

Michael Rohnstock
Lasse Tilkesson
Travis Crabtree

Please message me if interested in any of my drivers.

I know 2019 still has to happen but MK Scuderia is very likely to want to continue with Crabtree in the 2020 Endurance Challenge

Matthias Valsattis is looking for a drive.

Sorry if I forgot to mention this clearly enough, we have already made an agreement with Rohnstock to race for Proton.

As DEC holder, CaptainGetz decides who does and does not have agreements for his drivers. There is no "prioer agreement" if the DEC holder says there is not one.

ERM?

I'm pretty sure I offered Rohnstock the drive via pm and Getz said yes. He may have forgotten he has already got the drive otherwise he should of let me know beforehand.

If that is correct, then I'll keep it as is. I did do spring cleaning for my inbox, but I do remember such a offer, my mistake!

Matias Sena (Uruguayan, 2000/10/13), a season experienced in F4 wants to enroll for first time in Endurance stuff, obviously he es a rookie driver, so a GT seat is not bad for him, he has some sponsors if you need.

I see a vacancy, can I apply to run JMW or Graff? Are any of them free or taken?

I'm running Graff, which I've cut down to one car to accommodate AVF. So, AVF is free as is JMW.
