Hello So what is the difference between owning a team and being a driver? Is owning a team just to enter a team without being a driver?
Depends. you can be both a driver and a team owner (providing you drive for your own team) or just a team owner technically although I'd imagine that wouldn't be exactly exciting for most people
If i understood it right in our conversation, me an Joel will stay in our team Online Martini Racing. And because we already have a livery there i think well stay with Opel. but before i am doing that on google docs ill make it clear with joel.
@Rui F. Martins want to be teammates again? otherwise there'll will be a seat for someone else who wants to drive in a reliable car
Ok! I had submitted it, but I thought making the question for the next people would help I will be in, but I haven't decided the team yet, because I don't know Jimmy's plans If he decides another teammate (he is 1000% free to do it), I will make my own team
And one more thing, guys...I'm NOT gonna underperform in this season, I'm going to score more points than before!
