Little more than 4 years ago I left the Redline Racing team after a failed merger with my first team in LFS (Framaris Racing), I was a bit fed up with all the work I had done for nothing and decided to look for a good team and join them (Core and SR were on top of my list). That was without knowing that many RR and ex FR members would leave too, soon after they came to ask me to bring the FR team back, at first I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but their determinations and motivations were high and I couldn't resist giving it a chance. The FR team started as a joke, I used that tag to avoid the many requests I was getting to join teams, but it back fire when Masai and MC0676 asked to join my team which they did. After I left RR I knew a bit more what I wanted to see in a team, but the main thing was that if I was to restart a new team, it couldn't have my name because it would have to be owned by its member, managed democratically and be able to survive after I leave LFS. So I designed a 4 years plan where we were going to learn most aspects of racing in LFS, starting with managing popular public servers with R2R TBO and R2R GT2 and building a community around it. We made many friends and the team size increased, second part was to start organising small series (Dailycious series) and get used to longer races, then we would work out way up slowly to leagues racing and become a more professional team of hardcore racers. I believe in friendships and sharing, so the creation of GenR was one of the logical steps, but that's a story for another time (next Sunday actually). Any way the all idea was to have an organisation where all the serious aspects of racing would be represented, from demo to league organisation, the last being the final step.
So, exactly 4 years ago today Ready2Roll Team was born and after many ups and down I am happy to announce that most our ambitions have been achieved, the team is like a real family and I think all ppls who have been or still are in R2R can testify for that! I couldn't be more happy and proud when I look back at those fantastic 4 years!
