Chaps,

We don't seem to all be getting in the same place to race anymore. And when we used to we had lots of fun. I think the majority own GTL and so I think we need a new GTL league. I said to Dave that I would try and sort something out for it this week if I got a chance... I can sort a webpage for schedule/results at the weekend I hope. I just wanted to post to generate ideas.

I think:

Sundays, 8pm (or 9pm?)
GTC65 cars excluding GT40 and cobra
"random track" (ie we have a pool of tracks but we select one randomly on the night - no practicing that way!)
two shorter races per night no qualy orsuperpole qualy (or what I would call concurrent superole - one quick lap each but we're all on track at the same time to save time) for the second race.

I think 2 shorter races are better. That way if you screw up early on in the first race you have something to hang around for! if you have one hour long race then if you screw up its easy to get disillusioned.

What do people think?

PS I also think we should have a regular "rfactor night" on, say, wednesdays(?) with a few tracks and mod named each week. We've made our donations towards the PH server so we may as well use it, and not all of us are at the moment!

what time do people prefer?

do you agree with the car choice?

should we do one-make races but do a different car each week?

Davyboy - You'll just have to practice all the tracks!

I was planning on having a list of tracks, don't worry!

what about:

race 1: 10 mins practice, 8 mins qualy, 12 minute race
race 2: 10 mins for "superpole" qualy, 15 minute race.

afterwards a muck about

practice is useful because it allows people time to join without missing anything - sometimes people are late!

I think so

I haven't sorted the webpage out yet though, have I?

Im really busy.

I will try to do it on Saturday... I think we will just pick a random track from the "national" circuits that came with the game

good news! I just did the random track selection and it randomly came up with donington!

I haven't got time to make a webpage with stuff on for the league (what a surprise) but I will start a separate post here and get neil to sticky it. Neil/Dave, can I get the server results files to do the spangly results stuff (and the program that does it?).
