Quote from keithano : that makes me feel upset.. i have less and less chance to compete the championship

btw: glad to see my teammate aboard

btw2: when will the championship likely kick off? and I'd like to see the announcement of tracks soon ^^

Well we have to wait for the 32 man version of LFS to be released even if I were to have finished all the rules, procedures, forums etc etc etc.

Maybe this month, more likely June.

Working on the website now.
Welcome aboard Tob!
Thank you, keithano and Storm! Really looking forward to some nice racing with you, even if i will probably be not too competitive
OK all I've been working hard this weekend. I built my friends Dad's website on Saturday morning so that's out of the way. I then turned my attention to my own site. I've now added a whole LFS section. This will be the home of the GFC. I've created a forum and all the sections that I will need. Feel free to go and have a look and add it to your favourites Register and make a post in the forum if you like.

I'm not finished for today either. Just about to tot up the votes for the day/time of events and I'll post that information in my forum shortly. Can't schedule the events yet as we need to wait for patch X to be released.

I might even get one of the track guides done today.

Oh yeah and there's a totally cool clip of me at Brands Hatch on the "About Us" page of my main site - check it out.

Anyway, back to the grindstone

I'll add you to the list mate. Go to gentlefoot.com to see information about the event. Sign up in the forum.

OK all I've just totalled up the votes for the day and time of the events and we have a clear winner from your 1st choices. I'm pretty glad about that, saves me having to total up 2nd and 3rd choices.

Option 11 has 9 votes and is a clear winner by 4 votes. Option 2 was the next closest.

So that means the Gentlefoot Formula Challenge will be held at 20:00 GMT on Sunday nights. That equates to 21:00 BST here in the UK.

I will schedule the events for the weeks between the OWRL events so we don't clash.

I will add this information to the forum which is now up and running. All entrants should go and register so I can contact you easier. Through the LFS PM system is a nightmare because I can only send to 5 recipients at a time. We have well over 40 entries now and climbing.
Excellent, that was my first choice. Looking forward to the start of the season (which I'm guessing might be at the Kyoto Ring?! )

How many rounds are there in total? I think I can only make my progress through June 16th as I am heading back to Hong Kong for my summer vacation from Seattle. The time will be ideal for me when I am in Seattle, but 04:00 in Hong Kong is likely to be a nightmare. Anyway, let's see ^^

Please go the the forum to check for info like that please mate. http://www.gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum/index.php
Quote from keithano :Sorry my bad^^ got that, tks

No worries mate its just when there are 40 of you all asking me questions it's a bit of a problem
Had some good racing on FE Gold tonight with the dual class formula. Seems to work well although some FO8 drivers need to remember that they approach FOXs so fast that the FOXs don't see them coming.

In the GFC the onus will be on the driver behind to take responsibility and pass cleanly, regardless of what cars are involved.
I'm looking forward to this championship , should be a lot of fun. Only thing I'm a tad worried about, is the lag on sundays evenings. The evenings I get dial up speed. I use virgin.net and I hear from ATC fellows that there will be an upgrade in June, so hopefully, I won't be a bother when the league gets underway .

Hope you get it sorted mate. There will be some rules regarding lag. i.e. if you are too laggy you won't be able to compete. So make sure you get it sorted dude cos I want you on the grid.
Good racing last night guys FE Gold

GF has a point with the speed of the faster FO8's as us Fox drivers had under a 2 sec warning of the BLUE FLAG pop up at some parts of the track especially if the Fox was caught entering a slow corner due to the FO8 having better brakes and a faster corner speed.

That race I started from 3rd on the grid in the fox was a check your pants time going into turn 1 got round though and kept my 3rd position thanks guys just shows that your a good bunch and enjoyed the races thanks
Could I ask, please please please, can all GFC entrants go and register on the forum here http://www.gentlefoot.com/LFS/ ... ba7e4a7588179523dff773f75

If you don't you will not recieve important information about the Championship as I am not sending any more LFS Forum PMs to only 5 people at a time and having to wait 60 seconds between posts.

There are still a few of you not registered.

Thanks for your cooperation
Points system now added to forum. The system rewards attendance and consistency.
GF Why not have some Dry runs over the next couple of Sundays at the set time on diff tracks, this would iron out any problems for when the league starts proper and would also be fun - although myself needs to change ISP first as I still cannot get access to your server until after 11pm or later.
I'd be up for that too, especially as I might not be able to make the test event.
Well the sever is always open for public racing. Difficulty is holding a long race without having formal entries - hence doing like this so that people have a couple of weeks to sign up.

But I'll surely be on FE Club for the next couple of weeks developing a set and practicing. I'm sure there'll be a few of us.

But yeah - I may do some short notice unofficial practice runs of say 30 laps or whatever with free entry.
Which server will you be FE Clubbing on?
Which one is Club? Green? Gold? How many laps?
Quote from Nick A :Which server will you be FE Clubbing on?

The GentlefootFormulaRacing server will be set to FE Club from tonight.
