Sonoma and Watkins Glen are the only 2004 road courses, are they not? If they aren't...then yeah, all the road courses. I just wanted to expand his schedule a little bit so he could run in a select few of his better oval venues.
Oh, right, I see. Never mind the schedule change then. This is good!! The Gibbs package should be potent and I have NASCAR's top road course ringer in the car for 10 of the 36 races! Maybe the Arnold car doesn't have as bleak a future as I first thought!

Arnold wishes to absorb Competitive Edge Motorsports (as CEM has no owner) into their own team. The Honda package is purchased for the #51 part time REC. Then, Jean Alesi is offered 200K to do all the road course races in the #51 that don't clash with his DTM commitments (Mexico City, St Petersburg, Portland, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Elkhart Lake, Mid-Ohio, Sebring). Maybe we get someone to do a couple of oval races as well in that REC, to make full use of said REC, but I don't know who yet.
How does it sound?

Okay that's fine. Jean Alesi accepts. With his F1 credentials he is accepted for all road-courses and ovals up to 1 mile in length. You already have Tony Raines to enter in ovals too if you want to use him.
I'm about halfway done with the liveries and should be ready to begin the season by the end of the month.
For now I will reveal the entry lists for Speedweeks. I'll be including results for both the Busch and Truck Series which will be based on the real thing. Full time Cup drivers will be banned from competing in both series.

His priority is the BTCC with SEAT so he wouldn't be able to do the full season. Plus he wouldn't be able to do the restrictor plate races until he's got through the Daytona ARCA race. But you could enter him in a few races for maybe $50,000 per race, either in a Morgan-McClure car or by paying another team. Then maybe you could bid for him for next year and he would likely gain approval for the Cup series full time.
Really sorry guys but the power jack on my main laptop is playing up so I'm afraid there will be a significant delay in starting the season (probably not till next month) unless I can find a way to transfer the livery files that I have completed so far.
