When does race season 9 start?

Love racing, can't find ANY info on subj. WTF?

From last patch notes:

Version 1.2.1b
The Cast on Death support gem has been changed to only provide area of effect and damage bonuses while the character is dead.
Fixed a bug where Devourers would spawn as rare monsters too frequently.
Fixed a bug where Zana would not deduct the Vaal Orb component of costs when modifying a corrupted map.
Racing removed from the game due to excessive balance whining. Replacement is higher chance to get Haku, Armourmaster rock falling in high maps.

2/10 attempt

Err, what happened to the original thread, and/or its replies?

Edit: nm, i'm mixing up threads.

hyped ? not hyped ? 420HUDit ?

In before casual racers complain about top racers doing "casual fun races" instead of "competitive races" because of how the race ladder works.

Don't worry Endless Ledge is competive or even Signature.

12 minute Bust will be the most common race this season

Not expecting it until next year at the rate GGG is going.
