edit: added Sharingan

Probably I'll be unable to race AND host. RL busy this friday.

Find The Betting Shop in-game (usually hanging out in Latos H2 or Latos N2) to place your bets.
The Betting Shop will only be open until about 17:00 GMT today, so get your bets in. It will NOT be available in the couple of hours before the race - since it's pub time IRL.

I cannot connect to the game server anymore. Cogent/RR routing problem, apparently.

So I can't play. Don't bet on me. I'm just waiting for my subscription to expire...

Aaaww maaan! I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope you're back soon :-) One damn fine racer.
