You only need a superlicense to drive in F1. An International B license will enable you to drive in GP3/ GP2 / Porsche / other support races. International B is the same license spec. as WTCC. However, one cannot simply apply and pay for a superlicense like another license, you are invited to have one - so I guess if you are involved in Formula 1 enough you can get one.
F1 and politics have always been intertwined, an example of this is the cancellation of the South African GP (1984?) due to ongoing apartide. It's nothing new I'm afraid.
Kennedy assassination, Stalin, the rise of communism, the fall of conmunism, the fall of the British Empire, the great depression, watergate, black enfrichesment in USA, a black president in USA, end of apartide in RSA, the cold war, various major natural disasters, button and Hamilton crashing into eachother at Canada... A boat sinking doesn't come in top 100 really
As we discussed slightly on the server, it really does depend on your approach to LFS. For example, if you see this simply as a 'game' then sure you would be outraged if somebody was in the middle of the track and did not spectate or pit - which is why you get people in those situations flamed for sitting there. However, if you approach LFS as a simulator (which is what it is) like me then you will sit in the track and wait for an opportunity to rejoin the race safely. In a real life situation one cannot spectate or tele-pit, and those circumstances teach me for similar situations in real life.
However there is a happy medium, on LFS if you have been involved in a huge accident and the car is considerably damaged I can understand why people would want you to get the hell out of there. But my reasoning is that maybe safety rating should decrease if overtaking happens during a corner or something along those lines, as under a yellow flag overtaking is deemed dangerous driving and you will be punished for it in real life. In the end, for me it is those around you who have the responsibility to avoid you, and if they hit you due to lack of awareness or trying to overtake then that is their fault, or if they hit you because there is nowhere else to go - then I'm afraid that is just a racing incident.

I think maybe there is an issue with your sign up method as we signed up but I guess you didn't see that. In my opinion, open another thread and let teams sign up via that, it would generate more interest.
You will not fill the grids with an open config, just look at other leagues the most unpopular rounds have always been them. Please just use KY3 / r or AS4 / r and you will fill the slots.
