Bit of a shame, less noise :'(

However, of the 94 drivers confirmed so far 22 are British, the biggest contingent. The next nearest is France with 18. Jolly good show chaps.

There are also the 2 in GTAM so 4 in total.

There are always plenty that drop out, and I don't think all on the current list will make the race either. Hopefully there is maybe a sublist that will allow a few last minute additions.

Yeah that was more my point really. Be a shame to see empty garages before the race even kicks off.
