That YouTube video was a "Comment to sign up". Basically if I wanted to join I'd comment "Tp88 - AdvoCare Racing". And that's it, first come, first serve. And no, you're comment on the predicting is understandable (trust me when I say that anything South City associated with AI's and long races IS unpredictable.)

So, currently, the FO8 GP is leading. Honestly, it's not a surprise to me. I was actually ready for that and have an idea for the LFS community: Use LFS teams as the AI. Would it be accurate? Absolutely not. But that's the fun. The current teams I have paint schemes for I have gathered over the past 2 years since I've been running offline leagues. Majority of the listed teams I know and even had the honor of racing with, and some I think were here before me, so don't be shy to take notice of who's here and who's not.

*NOTE* I am more than highly aware that majority say "for private use.. yada yada yada" and that's exactly what they're used for. I have never publicly raced with any of these skins, other than my own. ALSO, I made each offline driver get a minimum of 3 paint schemes for each league I raced*

In Alphabetical Order:

1) AdvoCare Racing (5 Skins)
2) Clockwork Motorsports (4 Skins)
3) Conquest Racing (3 Skins)
4) CoRe Racing {3 versions} (17 Skins)
5) Experion Racing (6 Skins)
6) Fragmasters (3 Skins)
7) Inex Racing (4 Skins)
8) Last Lap Motorsports (8 Skins)
9) The Laptop Shop (3 Skins)
10) New Dimension (4 Skins)
11) P.N. [Japanese Team I think] (3 Skins)
12) Race Green (4 Skins)
13) Savage Simsports (8 Skins)
14) Sonicrealms Racing (8 Skins)
15) Tigerexpress Motorsports (4 Skins)
16) Vires Competition (3 Skins)
17) Zoom Competition (6 Skins)

Fantasy Teams in no particular order:
Target Racing (LLM I think), MLP:FIM (Various), MLP: Fighting is Magic (Tp88 sadly made these).

Currently, the roster would be full with the LFS and Fantasy Teams on board. Current opinions? Am I seriously gonna get a lot of hate for all these skin files (more than likely)? Is anybody going to post their teams skins (please don't, just a link or file is fine)?

Quote from sinanju :Ennui - a feeling of listlessness and general dissatisfaction resulting from lack of activity or excitement.

I know it's only been slightly less than a month, but if even the original thread creator can't be bothered staying involved?!

I allow me to add my personal views onto the table. I was talking about track mods, not new games, or autocross stuff because it is not my personal cup of tea. I already had this discussion earlier in the thread, including that I asked to to quit spamming the thread. Did you listen? Obviously not. But instead of raging and getting upset I chose to simply ignore. If you have a problem with that, why bother complaining? You've already taken over this thread, I'll even rename it for you if you like. But don't accuse me of not being involved when you were hardly on point of the target.

In other words:
Me: having a topic about NASCAR.
You: somehow brought up the Twilight movie series from thin air.

If that does not explain how I feel in the calmest manner, I don't know what will.

Well... when you put it that way I have no counter argument.

Because lets say if you trying to pass some lapped cars who are fighting for position. They cause anaccident and you get caught, but oh no you only completed 45% of the racing laps so you would earn points. My view would still allow you points even though you had bad luck. Maybe I've watched NASCAR too long and their point systems. But I believe in fairness throughout the feild and effort.

Not to stir trouble, but what if you had one of your top contenders get in a wreck, out of their hands, and was forced to DNF? I ask because I think the average starting grid for F1 in 2014 was 24 and only about 41% was allowed points despite running or not. Now, if this applies to the 32 car start of Vires F1 2015 then mathematically only the Top 13 are allowed points.

Now I'm not gonna drill it, or argue, or anythings else of the sort, I only wanted to extend the knowledge of the situation and try to even let the unfortunate drivers fight and attempt to take advantage of somebody else's misfortune even more than given credit.

As a driver, I always hope that for my efforts I am rewarded. As a team manager, I expect that if my drivers put in the effort, they are rewarded. Either way you decide I'd like to note that my driver will not earn points, but his efforts were great: Highest Lap Time stability of the race, despite his problems. May not seem much, but that's me.

I not sure, but why did certain drivers not earn points in the round? I searched the rulebook for any requirements but found none.

That's a really good job. Keep it up.

So 1 negative, 2... im not sure, and Rony being Rony. So try this instead: if you had any idea of improvement, any at all, what would you add?

Although crashing is fun, I try my best to have all cars finish within 10 laps of each other.
Offline Racing Leagues

So I've ran the basics: Demo XFG/XRG & FBM back in high school, once I upgraded to S2, I did a full 50 race FO8 Championship, been able to do the TBO Rallycross, XFG/XRG RC, and attempted (not my fault it failed) BF1 Championship. Since, I've been able to stay very local about it and I've tried to expand (literally, you can search "LFS Offline League" in YouTube and you'll find mine). I've tested for the XRR, XFR, and FZR championship and it could work.

Now I expect the whole: Why would you think of this? And truth be told, I've signed up for nr2003 offline leagues and it was exciting in it's own way, though granted nr2003 can add A LOT more tracks than we can. I did it because it kept me busy during boring classes and at home. I've learned how to take hotlap setups, run them near 100 miles and see how an Aston setup can be used at KY3R and at Blackwood. How, more than half the time, a BL2R setup works at almost every Rallycross configuration. Plus, in high school, I gave out an end of the year prize to the Champ. Usually a soda, but a free one is always the best one.

So, if you wanted to join an offline league, what would you prefer?
