Quote from Motordirex :Agreed...but SS's still arent as much fun as GT2 IMO...and for less point!

=) I agree, what's the point in racing if you can't exchange a bit of paint. SSer's to me is like hotlapping... You can't up right up behind someone because you will push wide coming into a corner, you cant get up behind someone in the middle of the corner, and you cannot get up behind someone exiting a corner, the only time I could really pass was when I got a draft =)

Quote from niels1 :So you dont know him, he has a big sponsor and they use that name on there brand aswell.

But what I dont get the guy who added Andy to the league is a german. He didnt make a fuzz about it. Only you and Sam do. Is this nitpicking ???

He did make a fuss it's something I shouldn't have done and didn't realize until after I had already hit accept. No excusses, I should have verified license names to the CTRA database and it would have solved the issue right then and there, but I was at work and didn't...

Quote from niels1 :This whole deal leaves me with a sauer taste in my mouth.

But if Fatal1ty wants to join, under that name you will tell him he has to change his name ?? No way !!

Who is that? Sorry I don't know a racer by that username.

And yes we will, Just because a person has 'special' status doesn't mean they are above the regulations and they get to decide which rules they do, and don't follow.

Quote from BenjiMC :If his name isn't offensive i dont see the REAL issue here. Some people like to protect their identity over the net and would rather not use their real name. I know one person in IGTC at least did so.

Edit: i suggest someone fix the fact that i STILL cannot access the forums rather than hounding someone about a fake surname.

The problem is not the 'fake' last name, the problem is the meaning behind the name and the translation of it in other languages... namely German, which is where eSport is located and a good majority of it's users are from.

benjiMC I will ask for someone to sort it out again, I don't have access.

Quote from SamH :Andy, I'm very concerned that there's already a direct disregard for the series rules at such an early stage, before we've even started. The rules state that you must use your real name for the series.

I want to be clear about this: you definitely cannot meet this series regulation?

StableX... we went through this on the CTRA and you know what happened. Please change your name

This guys a chuffin hero..

If you have ever worked with commando's or Marines it's usually the latter Won't find a closer knit or better bunch of people though and if I was in their situations they would be the ones to have next to me, thats for sure =)

German eTM is in it's second season, as is the International division, the first time around Joe selected people he felt would 'fit the bill'

After having a quick chat with Joe we will move the whole series back 2 weeks.

Short and sweet, will provide more in depth information when I return home from work.

Quote from yeager :Ok, I just feel a little petty sending in reports because of nasty language. But in real life i've seen drivers penalized for poor behavior off track. Didn't Ayrton Senna once have points removed for punching another driver?

EDIT: Ah ha!
http://www.f1rejects.com/hall/tyson/index.html

Your right, it is petter IMO, but if the driver isn't getting the message we need to take action to correct the behavour.

With verbal abuse most it will be is a warning or a caution and only in severe circumstances will it be more. All we want to do is let drivers know that this is not acceptable behavior

Ideally you should be able to get the person to realize yourself, but because of the nature of racers they tend to think they are right all the time and arguments tend to happen and we have to step in through the reporting process

Quote from Dru :So what actually is the cut off for numbers?

are you just going to race with the 5 or 6 drivers that have signed up or will you have a 'only goes ahead' with more than 15 signups - and if you don't get the numbers to run it - people get a refund that may help you sway the un-decided to partake..

The league is going ahead regardless of how many drivers have signed on, it's a great opportunity, and the drivers who have paid have realized this. This has been the impression Joe has given me and I am willing to put the time in for the drivers that have committed. It's just a matter of WHEN we start to get as many people as possible in the league before the green flag drops.

Quote from dru :Ok, lets flip this around.....

live streaming - does not affect the driver taking part
Commentary - does not affect the driver taking part
Some of the fastest LFS drivers - point taken - but this is just gonna lessen the sign up..... for instance if well known 'alein' drivers are entered that have a known pedigree in this class of racing are fast and consistant and do not crash, then why do the other drivers think they might actually stand a chance...

This league will just be like hour stints of an enduro race, there are one or two known drivers who if they entered (or weren't competing elsewhere) would clean up..

So the reason people should sign up is because there are fast drivers entered - well lots of other leagues have these drivers involved (and other fast drivers or clean drivers) were people don't have to pay to race..

how many leagues do you know where people drop out over the season as they realise they will not win?? i bet it's load's and that leagues that you don't even have to pay to enter in the first place..

What makes BTCC, F1, WTCC, A1GP, NASCAR, WRC, ALMS, and CORR so interesting? Some series are better than others but they are highly rated not because every driver is top notch, but because of coverage it receives. And because of this coverage virtually every driver in the world wants to run one of these series.
What's special about BTCC? Nothing really, they just have great coverage on TV, same goes with NASCAR. The general caliber of driver is higher, but then real racing has been around for what, a 100 years? Sim racing has been around in organized for for less than a 10th of that.

the same could be said for people that run in club racing. The majority of them could not win a race, never mind a season, but they still pay their entrance fee's and membership duties every year.

It' not just about winning, it's about being part of something that is exciting and having a group of fun people around you that you get to know on an intimate level when racing that cannot be found in any pick-up races. Having a laugh and slapping each others back and comparing war stories from the race before and letting people know what your excited about with the next race.

Is the RACING going to be much different than any other league running GTR's? Possibly not, but for some drivers you will see them push themselves beyond normal limits when they know that their name will be thrown around and there are significant prizes available to those who put the extra distance in and perform better than anyone else.

What will be different is all the things you stated in your post and IMO those are kickass =) There can only be so many leagues and races held before one league looks like another, post production and live streaming is what holds this league above anyone else.

Quote from Joris :Now it's getting nasty. A report from either side could have sorted this.

Well the ultimate solution is a solution that comes not from the system, but from the drivers themselves and their ability to reason maturely :melting:

Right here is the situation...

With limited numbers, and with 1/2 the grid being filled within the last couple hours we would like to delay the the start of the season by another week. This will mean a more condensed season, but hopefully more drivers will sign up before they lose the opportunity to race all the events.

We don't want to do this though if the drivers already signed up don't want to wait, so nows your chance to let us know what you guys would prefer =)

Quote from BenjiMC :i've signed up and payed, i got the e-mails too, the eTm e-mail went to my junk, but as of yet i dont have clearance to the UK forums

Sorry guys, I don't have admin access on the forum to that level from what I have seen =/

If it's still a problem tomorrow I should be able to work something out for the race so you you can still run, so don't worry =)

Quote from March Hare :Report him. The admins can do something about him. We can't.



The CTRA breeds tough competition IMO, with that comes high tension and frustration when things go wrong. How people handles these stresses reflects on their maturity and professionalism. I am guilty of losing my cool, as is everyone, but =)

Send in a report and we will remind the driver/s involved that this behavior is not acceptable in any condition.

Quote from Richard Torp :If just I was from UK or IRE...

Even I couldn`t win I would support this. If you can`t win, LFS can win..

I want to pay for two drivers. You must got a PayPal account. If you want to join this, then contact me in a PM. You must be DEDICATED to the series, but doesn`t matter if you are slow or fast...

Only for people who hasn`t signed up yet..

Woo, makes me tempted to join myself =)

Cheers for the support everyone! This is indeed where the best races in LFS league racing will be held, no doubt about it. With CTRA governing and sanctioning all of E-Sport's events you are Guaranteed to have some fair racing =)
