Welcome!
It's great to have someone from Australia wanting to join us, and it's also great to know we're sort of famous!
Usually we have a test time for new members, split in two: in the first half you just race with us, no PLZ tag in the username, and no PLZ skin. In the second half you race with the tag and a special skin made for new members, without name and number. Roughly, that's how it is, but I'm sure one of the bosses will be able to explain that better.
Even if you don't see me racing a lot (in fact I last raced online June 21st...

, just got a G25 but school is putting a heavy restraint on my free time), that doesn't mean I'm no longer active. If you have questions regarding the simulator, the team, Teamspeak, whatever, feel free to ask.
