Racing frequency : Varies - generally 10-15 races a week
Normal race times : evening (during school days) varies (weekends/vacation days).
Misc info : Cannot do endurance races (45+ minutes) due to wildly varying schedule throughout the day. Prefers the TBO and GTR class of cars. Cannot do races that are scheduled on weekday mornings. Likes close racing. Inconsistent in faster cars. Wonders why no server uses the TBO class @ Fern Bay Green RallyX.

Quote from banshee56 :

What is required to join CDDT? Potential CDDT drivers must be older than 14 years old, but generally will be younger than 18 years old, but the max age is not a strict limit. However, CDDT is primarily focused on the relatively inexperienced drivers: those with less than 10,000 miles and/or 250 finished races. Drivers with proper racing equipment are preferred, as CoRe feels that keyboards and gamepads do not give drivers the platform to learn proper racing techniques. Also, any driver that is currently on a LFS team will not be considered.

I'm sorry, but we are going to have to say no based on your controller.

It's not a problem, even if I'm a good driver a 14 year old is verrrrrrrrrrrrry out of place in a team with many "older" and more experienced drivers IMO anyway

(I might consider getting a wheel+pedals soon though, but I'm unsure on this)

If you do, in fact, get a wheel, come on back and we'll reconsider.

Yes, Banshee sure cranks up the average age of a team :P

But age does not has to be a problem, it is all about how serious and mature one is to race. If you can race in a competitive, respectful way, a lot of teams will consider you as a future driver. After all 'older' and experience will come with time

Hiya Guys, [SR] Turkey here. We have had quite alot of people asking to join our team but they lack experience. We have thought about doing a similar thing to your driver development program to help them out. Can you offer us any advice, and any pitfalls to beware. You have been running this for a while now, how's it been going?

P.S. Hope you don't mind us taking inspiration from you guys for this great idea

The biggest obstacle is driver participation (the new guys), and keeping to a structured schedule (i.e. lessons on race craft vs. just racing around). We've had a few meetings, but so far the participation of the CDT drivers outside our Tuesday meetings has been very low. We are still learning with this idea as well, so as we go, we'll report back more.

Just a quick note...we've had a new driver apply for the CDDT. We are taking this opportunity to have the guys get back together after a brief period of inactivity.

December 4th, we'll resume our Tuesday evening meetings at 9:30 PM EST.

its probably pointless posting this, but i was votebanned as soon as i joined your server a few seconds ago. there were two guys from some other team on your server, i guess they just votebanned anyone that wasnt from their team that tried to join.

Gabkicks, I'm sorry you had to go through that. If you have a replay, please post it up on the CoRe forums or send me a link if you can upload it somewhere and I'll take a look.

Just a quick note about the CDDT....

Trav is our latest member.

Another member, Stnwolf, joined and participated in the LOTA StreetStock Cup. This was his first league race ever and he finished 21st out of 28 starters! Good job Stnwolf!

Hello Core, and Happy Christmas! SR have today launched our own Driver Development Program after getting some inspiration from you guys and also wanting to give something back to the community. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for doing this in the first place and also would like to acknowledge your work

Love the idea!!! Maybe as our team getes bigger we will do a simalar idea!! Hope it works as you hoped it would!!

Excellent Who knows, in the future we could have a DT league or something, or even joint training sessions

Good luck to you guys, Jason!

Yes great, so that dt members get in team comp practise!

Unfortunately, due to inactivity by the existing CDDT team members, and other obligations by the CoRe Racing team members, the CDDT is suspending operation. The team was meant to be a learning experience for it's members, and participation is paramount to that idea. For the time being, no more applications will be processed. Of course, drivers willing to learn in a respectful manner are always invited to join the CoRe server when we are online.

Sad to hear guys

Yeah, we'll get it going again if the guys show some interest, but for now, all we were really doing was racing our regular teammates, because no one came to the server on meeting nights.

isnt there anyway because im looking for a team to join have never joied a team before and yours sounds like the best one i will go to a meet and wont let you down
