Theres 4..

And 10 of the votes to keep guest teams are none-GTAL drivers.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

For drivers like you and Ken there shouldn't even be a step, its not some magical league, if your a good driver and have some decent reults there will be no problems all the drivers in there cureently have had no "step" it should be for drivers new to endurance racing, even though its actually not a whole lot different to say a 20minute race. The only reason it would be usefull is for teams taking on someone who shows potential but not at MoE level, to see what they can do.

You two are already experienced in alot of leagues, so what the need is for you two to drive GTAL i really do not know, ill go back to the big fish in a small pond idea...

We drive in GTAL for fun and for wins... just like were all suppost to be playing this game for FUN and competitiveness.

Deko said he'd let it go occasionally as long as your in the pits.

Quote from PMD9409 :

I don't know about you guys, but if I was serious about endurance racing and wanted to get into MoE/IGTC then I would want a guest team. Why wouldn't you want to know where you shape up vs a great team?

I thought this series was a building block, but how can you become better when you have nothing to compare to?

You don't need a guest team to do that. Watch the MoE tracker/stream and watch there times and you'll be able to compare yourself to the top teams much better then you will be able to when they are driving off into the distance.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

Considering the level of talent already in GTAL, i don't think we need a guest team "to show us how it's done".

How many teams throughout the season are going to sit on the sidelines and say, "Man if it wasn't for the guest team, we'd be racing"?

Giving one more team the opportunity to race could generate more interest....

What if one team, outside the top 10 in points, were allowed to invite a guest driver? Said driver would have to follow the percentage rules, but could boost one team's performance, moral, interest in competing, and maybe even confidence.

I'm sure NDR could figure out an interesting way on how to choose which team would be picked for each round.

My $.02

Or we could pick the guest team as someone on the reserve list, so they all get a chance? Sure, there not setting an example anymore, but like you said, I'm sure Tommy can take care of setting the example.

Quote from niall09 :

Hmm, I think you can see that we aren't using our top MoE drivers. We are using this invitation as an opportunity to give our lesser experienced drivers experience in endurance racing.

For the record, we just added Hugo as a backup driver because Eiw is having hardware issues.

Hugo is a top MoE driver, backup or not. Either way, I wasn't talking about you guys, but guest teams in general. I know we won't be able to enforce this by this round...

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :

Guest teams are not just there to set an example for us. They are there to give an indication as to how a perspective team would perform if they were to move to a league such as MoE, iirc this is a 'feeder' series?

Although I agree that 2nd place is not 1st place if the guest team wins, but it would also be very rewarding if a GTAL team pipped the guest team to the win - so it works both ways.

But thats unlikely to happen when they use there top MoE drivers.. And all those examples can be given by just watching a MoE or IGTC race stream, its not worth taking a spot away from a possible full time GTAL team.

Do you think guest teams in GTAL are necessary? The spot that they take up can be used for another GTAL level team to have a chance at the league that is meant for them, and it also removes the real feeling of winning from the team that should have won if the guest team wasn't involved.

Pros of guest teams:
-they set an example for us (which can be set by watching MoE/IGTC)

Conns:
-fill a spot which another team could use
-takes away the satisfaction of winning for GTAL teams

Tell me what you think.

I think we should test it in the KY 125 first...

Quote from z-ro 8 :

omg.
that is the smartest post you have ever made.

althought it did follow one of the not-so-smart ones...

Psh, I think my "set wind to 0" post was much better.

Quote from N!ghtm@re :

Yeah that was possible on BL1R, but not on KY3.

And XRR will be at a disadvantage at south city. It's not going to be even at every track. Instead of complaining about your car not being fast enough go practice to get the most out of the car you chose. It's not the admins fault you chose the car that is at a disadvantage, the schedule was out when you chose the FXR.

Well... how to put this.. who cares? He told you to post this, didn't he? :|

Congrats Hugo.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

It ain't a hotlapping league.

Admittedly, LFS's wind implementation has problems, but in principle I think it should be used in all major series.

As much as it sucks to say, every endurance league turns into a hotlapping league after an hour other then a few minutes an hour.

It's not our fault that you don't drive on the limit, so it doesn't affect you.

It might not be a problem for you, but when you're standing in the way, it creates a problem for us..

CoRe Racing GTAL Round #2 XRR Skin.

A perfect way to specify what wind to have is to set it to 0.

Not a smart idea.

Quote from BigTime :

Damnit! My goal was 6!

If we signed Kid222 it could be 7...

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Nice guys, good luck.

FAIL, I pressed no by accident. Yes, from me.

Or you can change the dates, so someone that wants to take part in both doesn't have a disadvantage from missing a qualifying session...
