2007-2008 (Inaugural) Rallycross World Series!
SimRS needs volunteers!
SimRS needs your input!

The goal of the 2007 SimRS Rallycross World Series is to create a competitive, team-oriented, international rallycross championship. The World Series will encourage individuals to form teams based on nationality that will battle against similar teams in a multi-round, ladder-based championship. Each event will feature two nations, three heats, and three different car/course combinations. Teams will earn points based on each member's individual performance, and the team that collects the most points will move on to the next round. Registration is REQUIRED to participate in the World Series championship, and teams will be organized on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each team will be allowed to register reserve drivers who may act as replacements before or during an event. Registration information can be found below. The 2007-2007 World Series will begin in mid-to-late December, and will only take a couple of weeks to complete. Specific event scheduling will be handled once the competitor registration deadline has been reached.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Sunday, December 2nd 2007

Registration is necessary to participate in the 2007-2008 Rallycross World Series. The championship will be limited to eight teams unless there is significant interest in expanding to sixteen teams. The following information must be given in order for your request to be accepted:

Live for Speed Username
Email Address
GMT Offset (Time Zone)
Real Name
Nationality
Subregion (if applicable)

Please do not submit any registration unless you feel that you'll be able to commit to the entire championship or have another driver who could replace you. Competitors who register as reserve drivers will be placed on the active drivers list until the minimum amount of drivers has been reached (read more below about driver minimums). Registration will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis, thus early registration is suggested. SimRS will not accept any registration application in lieu of another individual.

COMPETITORS CAN REGISTER BY EMAILING [email protected] WITH THE NECESSARY INFORMATION, OR BY VISITING http://www.simrs.com/worldseries AND USING THE ENTRY FORM AVAILABLE THERE. (The website is still under construction, and the basic version will likely be uploaded next weekend.)

SimRS has high hopes for its inaugural rallycross championship, and can't do it alone! If you think you can contribute in any way, please contact me! You can either message me here on the forums, or email me at [email protected]

We're looking for:

Event Marshals
Video Producers
Championship Prize Offers
... and anyone who thinks they have something to offer!

SimRS needs your input!

Please, I would really appreciate people taking the time to look over the tenative general provisions (HERE) and note any absences, problems, corrections, etc. that you think should be made. I want the entire Live for Speed community to help me make this championship a success, and I can't do that by myself! Anyone interested in participating in the championship needs to read the entire PDF document, as it goes into greater detail about the championship than this post does.

I want to know such things as:

How many drivers should a 'full' team have?
Should I limit the number of reserve drivers?
Should reserve drivers be allowed to swap mid-event?
Any problems with the current car/course combinations?
Which would work better for you, weekdays or weekends?

Thanks in advance! This is just the initial announcement, more information will follow as it's dealt with. Mods, I'd really appreciate it if this thread remained in the General section, as I'm trying to get information and feedback from the entire Live for Speed community.
