Hello guys,

Some of you guys know me some dont, anyways to keep things short, im looking around for a team to join, normally i wont do this, but i want to see if there are teams around.

Im only looking @ the big and settled teams so small teams dont bother to reply im not interested. I want to drive in the big league's again because that is were my interest lies.

Im playing LFS since 2005 and my last team, was my own team together with some friends. (Orange Racing Team most of you guys know i think.

Some drivers: diablo def, koopa, westerhof racing, atixt, all no team anymore btw so who knows )

We were participating in some major league's MoE for instance with very good results, anyways we stopped our team because after a year we didnt had an improvement in the driver department, we were only looking for Dutch guys to keep it easy on teamspeak, unfortuatly it didnt work out, and you cant keep up a team running with only 3 active drivers and 5 or 6 active drivers so we decided to stop with the team and that was that. Best result a second place in the 24h Masters of Endurance Race, dawm we had a nice team that time...

Anyways, ive been looking around i have been driving with some teams, i got some favorits offcourse, but atm i dont have a team and i just wanna see if there are more teams who are interested, im just orientating around a bit.

So if there are teams who think they can use a driver with 110% commitment, ill be glad to hear.

Greetings,

Reinier Hut aka Koopa

Maybe you could check the PM I sent you when I first noticed that you had to leave MoE.

We at n1Racing are always looking for talented and enthusiastic racers, especially now that we're aiming for the big leagues in the near future.

Always the best way to start "Looking for "a" team".. Firstly, a team doesnt need to be big to be settled. Secondly, your post makes you sound like you are looking for a team that needs or wants you, which is all very nice and such. Except you are the one who is asking or looking for a team.

Good Luck, im sure there are a few teams which are a perfect match for your wants.

Seems your the kind of fellow to give critism on every single post or????

Think the topic says "looking around a bit" And i think im mentioning the word orientating somewere in this post. Clear enough i think. If there are teams interested i will hear it, if not no big deal either.

Anyways this is just for teams who are looking for drivers, my aim is a big team, or other settled teams, if they are not interested then ill stay independant simple as that, if there are interested teams, and there are some, (i received enough PM's)... They can reply or pm or whatever, and if you aint got something usefull to say plz DONT...

This forum has enough useless ppl around who are nagging about every single post on this forum... Mildly annoying so to say...

I got enough PM's so ill be checking out my options and see whats the best choice, to join a team to stay independant or to keep on training with teams i WOULD like to join, joining a team isnt that simple, im a guy who wont change teams alot, and when i do, its a well considered choice...

And tobe honest i got my eyes on teams as Mercury or SPDO or 1st or other simular teams who are settled, and are here to stay...

Ive been a founder of a team, i know the difficulties and other stuff there is to do... I dont wanna BUILD a team again, imo there are way wayyy too much teams in the LFS world, i always give 110%, i have had too much dissapointments in the past, i want more time for racing, and get back to a good speed, and do some racing in the major leagues and the most inportant part, to have some FUN again with LFS... And thats too long ago.

End of my preach bla bla....

Hey Reinier,

Dunno if you ever did pop into our server while we were on there as suggested, thats about the only way anyone is likely to be able to judge someone unless they're reputation kinda speaks for itself etc.

I dont think theres any harm in initially requesting only contact from decent & established teams, theres far too many 4 week teams in LFS, here today gone tomorrow. The established teams have a proven track record, and if your a capable driver used to driving in the big events like MoE then joining a new team with no history or reputation means you've got very little chance of getting invited into MoE. In about 3 weeks time we (Mercury) willl have been in LFS for 4 years, these days its an acheivement lasting the first year and i can fully understand people wanting to move to a team which is settled, thats not to say a new team cant make it, its just got the hardest part ahead of it, rather than behind it thats all.

Good luck finding someone that meets your level dedication Koopa, im pretty sure you'll find plenty who are willing to take a look at you, dunno if Jonesy ever got round to that or not, but im sure you'll be settled in somewhere in no time.

yeah, well we never got that far till now, thanks to my wheel problems i had a week or 4 ago...

Today i receive my NEW old wheel the thrustworthy MOMO, and then i can get back to racing...

This was more to have a look @ the horizon, see what kind of maybe OTHER possibilities there are etc... Bit orientating around so to say.

You will see me around soon again and hopefully on pace again. I got some wishes well see if they get fullfilled...

Indeed, it is tough to start a team, and make it work, I have respect for all teams that have been around for a while, because I know how much effort it is to make it work.

Esspecially if your starting a team which is national minded only dutch peeps for instance in our case... We had some drivers but for some reason the peeps which started our team kept on going and other new guys never did stay long or stayed active.

Most of the times, the LFS teams are a friendsgroup for some years, i can see it with other games aswell. In 2003 for instance i was in a Call of Duty clan stayed there for 3 years, and now in 2008 were still playing all kinds of games.

Ive seen teams come and go, sometimes through fights within teams or other problems, or other simple reasons. Most teams are one day flies. Some others really try hard and keep it up for a year or 2. But afterall only the settled teams keep alive.

Ahhh well, anyways my steering wheel has arrived. WOOHOOO
