After last weeks team meeting behind closed doors, Dark Side Racing has come up with a plan. The plan for now is called "Casual Saturdays". It will not be a series of races, but instead an "arrive and drive" type of event, in which anyone who shows up can race. As the name implies, these races will take place on Saturdays, but every other Saturday starting this March 6th at 4pm GMT on DSR's European server. Races run on Casual Saturday's will not have points tallied over a season, but will be run with the usual high standards of any other series hosted by DSR. There is no registration required, but an optional sign-up to a mailing list exists and can be found HERE "Just show up and race it's as simple as that" Said [DSR] Lebaron in a team forum. The first combo will be 24 laps of XFG + XRG at South City's Town course. Pit stops will be mandatory. More information on the event can be found at the forum for the event HERE Dark Side Racings officers will use these races to gauge interest and feasibility for a large-scale organized event this fall. As the races proceed, DSR may test custom layouts and/or spec setups to give the racers an interesting and unique experience. So tune up your racing gear gentlemen! We''ll see you March 6th!

It was reported that Dark Side Racing was waking up after a 6 month long slumber, but as it turns out Dark Side Racing merely rolled over and hit the snooze button only to continue it's sleepy LFS activity for another 3 months. This past February 11th when DSR's newest member, maber, decided to set off DSR's alarm clock loud and clear. "After a lot of thinking, I've decided to leave DSR. In my view, the team has been hurting from a lack of activity" said the former member of DSR. In a statement to the team, [DSR] Lebaron said, "This is a wake up call for me I guess. I feel bad for not delivering." and called an emergency "make or break" team meeting. The meeting was held yesterday behind closed TS2 doors at which 9 of the teams 19 members were in attendance. Topics such as status of inactive members as well as the future of the team were discussed. Lasting nearly an hour, the attending team mates emerged from the meeting seemingly rejuvenated and joined [DSR] AlPayson in practice for that afternoons OWRL S2 Season 16 opener, FBM @ KY2R, for which [DSR] AlPayson was a stand-in admin. We caught up with DSR founding member, [DSR] Lebaron as he scurried to his awaiting limo and would only say, "The meeting today was very positive". Then quickly sped away. From the sound of that it looks like Dark Side Racing may finally be awake and ready for action.

After a long layoff since the successful Road To Formula 1 Series, Dark Side Racing is in the planning stages of another exciting competition. Although many of the teams members have stayed active during the "off season" and have competed with success in other series, some members have taken time away from LFS. It's been over 6 months since the end of the Road To formula 1 Series, the longest ever layoff for the formidable Dark Side Racing Team. "It's time to get back into LFS", said principle owner and founder of Dark Side Racing, [DSR] Lebaron.

A team meeting will be scheduled in the coming weeks to set the team into motion with just what exactly they'll be doing. A lot depends on what happens with the new version of the simulator the LFS developers are working on. "We've gotten some inquiries from drivers that ran in the Road To Formula 1 Series and we're eager to get back into a competition run by our organization, but we'd like to coincide it with the new version. Hopefully the LFS development team will release the new version soon." said [DSR] AlPayson.

Until the next meeting, gentlemen. Start your engines and get your Live For Speed skills together for the next Dark Side Racing series.
