Server Passwords
Same server password for the whole season.This will be sent in an email.

Start Procedure

Start time is Tuesday and Thursday at 22:00.

Before the start of each race, everyone will be returned to the ready room, set everything for the race (fuel and set up) then when everyone hits ‘ready’ the race will start.

There will be a lag lap at the start of every race. A lag lap is when the race is restarted straight away after the start just in case someone was late to the grid or even missed the green light due to connection or machine problems and to randomise the grid.

Race Information

Hybrid tyres can be used on any track.

Race 1 starting order will be decided by a random grid. Race 2 starting order will be the reverse Race 1 finishing order.

Two 15 lap races per round with a compulsory pit in each race.

Pit lane will be open for compulsory stops from the very start of the race until the end of lap 10.

Any pit box maybe used and the pit lane entry and exit lines can be ignored.

The race will be over as soon as the finish line is crossed, no slow down lap, no podium photo. Just make sure that you are clear of the finish line as people behind will still be racing.

First, second and third will get a weight penalty of 25kg placed in the car for the next race. If they miss a race where they are supposed to carry this ballast then they will have to carry that ballast at the next race they attend.

If a racer with ballast finishes in a podium position they will get another 10kg on top, this means they will have 35kg on board. any podium finishes after that will mean another 5kg upto a maximum of 50kg

When a racer with ballast(s) finishes outside of the podium positions 25kg can be removed. If they have 2 ballasts for example it would take 2 race finishes outside the podium positions to remove ballast. Example = 40kg in ballast (3 podium finishes 25kg+10kg+5kg) would take three NON podium finishes to clear the ballast. 1st non podium = remove 5kg. 2nd non podium=remove 10kg. 3rd non podium = remove final(or first depending on how you look at it) 25kg ballast.

For the first race the previous season’s champion, runner up and third place will have to carry a passenger.

Cancelled Till Further Notice


Do you like close, intense racing?

Are you new in the LFS world?

Do you like the UF1 (Mini)?


If the answer is yes to any of these questions then the ATC Mini League is for you.

The Mini League has been going for 5 seasons now and was originally a christmas special event from the CRC. The idea for this event was originally thought up by ATC Gag and was an instant hit. The first season was a complete success with a full field of new LFS racers through to vetran racers. Held on Tuesday and Thrusday nights between the hours of 10pm(GMT) and 11pm(GMT) attendance was high from all over the world. Many racers from Europe and a few from State side gave the Mini League an international field. The seasons after the first were very competitive and always attracted great interest in the CRC community.

If you are a new racer to LFS or a vetran, the ATC Mini League will suite all racers. With close and intense action at managable speeds the anyone can enjoy the UF1000.


Here are some quotes from current/previous competitors....

"I joined the first season and was not expecting much. But I soon got a suprise!! The Mini may not be fast but it is very forgiving. Every racer had the same speed and it was crazy at times on the small tracks with 20 UF1's going around a tight bend, Brilliant racing. After this first taste of Mini League fun I was hooked and have been doing every season since. Magnetic bumpers anyone?!?!"

ATC DrDink (Current Mini league Champion)

"In the past the CRC Mini League was always a great series to enter, for new and for old drivers..It is such a challenge to race these Mini's and a pleasure to do it with a field of drivers whom race so cleanly"

DBP Stoney (Former CRC Director)

"Blink and you will miss it"

ATC Dadge


"Many people sneer at the UF1 - thinking its slow and easy. When up against a full field of UF1's - with every driver pushing for the win - its as fast as a BF1. Dont underestimate the power of the UF1 - Highly addictive and a great racing experience"

ATC Widdowmaker (Series 1 Champion)


The new season is almost upon us and I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that there is a server ready for the new season.

This server will be called 'ATC Mini League'

There will be several tracks on this server, some of which will be used in the new season some will not. Each race will be 5 laps. The tracks will rotate.

Once I am ready to start the season I will place an entry page here for all who want to enter.

More news to follow soon .....

I am going to take over the organisation of this league from Gag and would like to know how much interest there is for the 6th season of the Mini League. As current champion I would like the oppotunity to defend my crown.

The start of this (if there is enough interest) would be early next year when we have all had time to get used to the new pacth (hopefully )

So, vote in the pole and add comments if you wish

no need to call Franky a woman

So has anyone got a good set for this or should we go with the set in Inferno instead?

all signed up and ready for the memory rush

Bifter! ! ! ! ! ! !

Fine by me. prefer it on Sundays any way

Make it the same as the GP's, nice and casual. Every race has to have rules but they dont have to be pages and pages long.

trust you Franky, is it likely to be this month????

So when are we setting a date for this event then????

Bummer on the times, I change my vote to Blackwood. This means less time away from my newborn baby girl

Ok, I must apologise for my lack of attendence in this league but my PC blew up on the day of the first race event and I have only just got my new pc. My question is this, may I join the race tonight??? I will not be offended if the answer is no but I was really looking forward to racing in this series and due to problems beyound my control it was taken away from my

I will make some enquiries with our team and see if I can find a stand in. Should be ok. Will let you know asap

I am having a power trip day ha ha. I just want good clean racing and all the things I have said are the rules I follow myself during races. There is nothing more annoying then coming up against a driver that has poor track awareness.

Some people may take that as an agressive action and ignore it. Plus you should only attempt the pass if you can get more than half of your car past the person in front without touching them or altering their course. This comes down to what I already said .......

Quote :

it is imperitive that no accidents are caused by drivers not having track awareness

We all know how to race and it only takes a quick look in the mirrors or a quick turn of the head to know where the other driver is. Only practice with other racers helps with track awareness, so, as much time as possible should be spent by all practicing on the ZWR servers with others.

Very sound advise.

When you see a blue flag keep racing till you can see them clearly in your mirrors and then allow them to pass when it is SAFE to do so, ie not on a corner. It is the responsibility of BOTH drivers :rally_dri to make BLUE flag passing easy and safe. Yes the lead car has right of way but they dont not have the right to end the back markers race, they too are racing for points.

I for one believe there will be alot of back marker passing in this league especially on the shorter tracks. Some of the tracks do not have a pit for repairs so it is imperitive that no accidents are caused by drivers not having track awareness.

Remember there are points for ALL finishers.

If thats how you want it then do it and there is no changing from then on

My 2 pence worth, we have the rules now lets just RACE!!!!

Any ideas and changes can be discussed after the series has finished in a thread made for 'Ideas and suggestions for the next series'

Is everyone using the set for the Team Inferno site??? Or are there personal/team sets available???

My PB's on these tracks are

SO3R = 50.26
SO2 = 1:09.31

Yes I am nosy but I like to know where I stand on times for competition

On the skin I had for the las CRC Mini League it had...

'Magnetic bumpers' with downward arrows on either side

Well I have done 20 laps practice with a set that I think is for this track and I have a PB of 50.26. My average lap time was in the mid-high 50's.

I anyone has a better set then please feel free to post and share as we are all gentlemen here

My team mates skin for the May-Hem cup.

All I can say is.....

Please use your MIRRORS and have some track awareness

I was "Removed" from the track several times by drivers going for gaps that were not there. All I ask is that all drivers be aware of the other drivers. I know how competitive the UF1 races can be if everyone is respectful of the other drivers. Out there today there was a lack of respect and awareness from some drivers.

This series will be superb and I am looking forward to it.
