A few people have commented that they'd like a team-system in the LFSBC. I did think of this, but didn't think that it'd really matter. So here's a poll to decide. Teams will be decided at the LFS Beginner's Cup January Get-Together.

P.S Teams would involve both of you having the same skin (w/different numbers), the same tag at the start of your name and a team's championship.

Also - please give your thoughts below!

I think it would bring some added camaraderie to the procedings. Sharing liveries may not prove popular though. I think it would be cool to bounce ideas off my team-mate about set up or driving styles in the garage, stuff like that.

Well, Team Mates should really have the same skin tho.

Exactly my thought - help each other.

Yep. It's always easier to get the hang of it if there's someone with you.

Btw, would the teams also score points?

Yep. Teams also need a name - I may give points to the team with the best name.

BTW - When I say you can pick your team-mate, you probably don'k know anyone else - pick the one with the best name or something. Teams will be picked at the Get-together (but i bagsie JO53PHS - cos I can :razz

Hurley's mine! i dont know how fast he is but we is already in the same team and it would be confusing if i didnt pick him

Ok I like the Idea of teams

If you're bagsie-ing me then I bagsie you lol

J@tko - Here are the team skins that we can use for rounds one and three (I think)

Meh, I'm a Storm Racer, so I'll be individual.

You do now.

You know you could just create a series specific team for the LFSBC that way ur skins would be different from ur normal ones and everyones happy. But thats just a thought

NO TEAM ORDERS

[satire] If anyone is found to have used team orders and has any tie
to McLaren Mercedes F1 team, I will instantly asses you a $100 million fine, and exclude you from the 2008 and 2009 LFSBC Team Championship, and ban both drivers for both years, until a group decides that that's too severe and only excldes you from that championship and reverses the driver's suspension.

This does not apply if you are a Tifosi, or related to anyone who does not drive or care about Mclaren Mercedes. [/satire]

But seriously, team orders are verboten. That includes, to me, creative pitstop strategies.

Clarify, please. Do you mean that for example car #1 can't be heavy on fuel and slow others down for the benefit of #2 or what?

Oh dear... My uncle works for McLaren....

If you want - I'll create an independants championship for those not in a team.

So there's 3 championships; Drivers, Teams and Independants.

I'm confused

/me doing revision now - talk in an hour

Quote from JO53PHS :

The driver's championship is 4 everyone, the teams is for teams and the independants is for those not in a team.

ok

You can do some strategy work for when someone'll pit (if necessary) and that sort of thing so as to not avoid pit stall stacking.

But personally, I do not classify someone heavy on fuel holding up the rest of the field so someone can get away. That's simply not racing. If he's that good, he should be able to hold everyone off.

I will refine this policy soon so it's exact.
