I mean, like, no local game training on tracks, if you want to train you have to go on server?

You can practice offline too, but it's much more boring

It's quite the same. I won't train.
I have no time to train and If I had time, I don't want to spend it training.

I like to race in the same conditions of other players.
"Unreleased" and "well known" tracks can both realize that.

This is, obviously, just from my point of view.

If the track will be released before the race... it's not a big problem... I'll race anyway. I'll finish worst but since there are no money prizes, it's OK!
Only with useless racing rules (i.e. like scart) or rules too much focused on teams, I'll quit.

I don't see how that would be any different from - for example - the weekly wanking server, which you apparently do have time for. But oh well.

Not possible. To play a track, you must have it on your hard disc.

I acctually second that, this will be my first entrance in the F1 league not having driven so much with this car on the allready excisting tracks is instantly a downer for me, if we decide to drive on excisting tracks.

Weeklywank is a kind of contest/race. It's OK.
i.e. I like to read, I've never liked to study.

If you put the track as weeklywanktrack it would be perfect!

1 week to wanking the track (and record laptimes) and then the race.
The entry list could be based on laptimes of weeklywank.
This seems to be really good for me.

Jaykoq · Post by **Jaykoq** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 4:39 pm

No, I thought ... if you can play tracks only on server, then put practice session, or maybe a practice cup, just one time with tracks which will be in F1 cup. Something like "show-off the tracks".
I ment ... I don't know, 2-3 laps, every F1 cup track, and that's it. No restarting that "show-how-tracks-look" cup, just one time drive thru map and nothing more.
Everyone will se how the track looks, they can record themselfs (f4 button), and analyse the track by later.

Or maybe it is better to have unreleased tracks.
See the track, practice for 10 min on the track, drive what the best you can, and hope that you'll get in the grid

That's not bad idea also :/

You can select the tracks just via the download folder even just ingame.. no moving files etc. If you played any track online you can play it offline

The weekly wank could also be used as qualification for the race. And if we give points for qualification we can do reverse grid in the race xD

Lanz · Post by **Lanz** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 4:54 pm

we also can do some kind of official test session like in real F1! maybe 2 to make sure that everyone can at least play 1 session due to time and full server! then the top 20 are allowed to play the race?

I like the idea.

Test sessions 5 or 10 min each - no fuel, maybe even ghost cars
Then top 20 enter qualifying session which will generate starting grid and starting fuel.
Race, and points

Uf, yes, what are points for each place - same as RL F1 championships (25, 18, 15, etc.) or smth else?

Nah, it would just mean more things to organize. Keeping the server open for a week is much easier.

Ok, so far just 30 players signed up for the league, so we basically need a good way of kicking out 10 of them from the race. Sorting players basing on entry list is unfair, since the list filled up too quickly. Sorting players basing on previous cups is also unfair, since new drivers would have no chances to join.

The solution could actually be to release tracks for Weekly Wank and then use that ranking to establish the entry list. This would actually be a very big change, since training could be the most important part of the tournament - especially for slower drivers.

So, here's how the cup would work:

Cup Format
Entry List: based on Weekly Wank results - top 20 players will have a spot reserved for the race
Warm Up: 5 minutes, fuel on, ghost off
Qualify: max 8/10 laps, fuel on
Race: 25 minutes, fuel remaining after qualify will be startfuel

Teams
7 teams, 4/5 players each. Players will be split in 4 categories, teams will be composed of 1 player from each category (max 2 from lowest category). Top 2/3 players of each team will score points for team standings.

Let me know what you think

What about the pointing system?

There's nothing about it :/

Points for all positions.

GR8Arjen · Post by **GR8Arjen** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:02 pm

Wow, this rocks!

Using the Weekly wank results to get a startingticket for a race, is a great idea!

It will make that one even more populair and the competition will get stronger.

Test sessions/free practice won't be needed anymore, which makes the event shorter in time, so thats makes planning much easier for all players.

Teams could be a fun addition to if the best drivers would like to manage them as suggested earlier.

This is gonna be sweet!

lux2 · Post by **lux2** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:17 pm

Since weeklywank has not fuel, I think it's better to have a 10 min free practice (or 5+5) in order to try with different fuel load.

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:24 pm

week wanking in what track?

stop many guys wankers dont will show up in real race..

seems unfair..

but i am in i sure i am better than 10 players.

so dede put alll 30 players here..

i willl qualify

beat 10 players is no big deal

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:26 pm

stop lux no sense . made this f*** simple...

i accept the 20 best time but we need the 30 list.

and off course the 20 spot will still try to fight for pole..

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:36 pm

stop dede, just stop. week wanking is the track we will race..

how you can gave place to a times in tracks that will not be the gp track..

SO PUT THE FIRST TRACK THE OFFICIAL CUP 1 ONE WEEK.

THE 20 times enter..

simple no fuel..

still 30 ppl is the max..

i need to beat 10 and many will not show up...

the wanking will be in the official track..

if no is patetic

Post by **dede** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:42 pm

Yeah reirom, wanking is supposed to be in race track. You need to beat 10 players to be in top 20, but if you are 22nd and 2 players don't show up for the race, you can join the race!

At least one testing session will be mantained, for fuel and lag testing.

Post by **Tijny** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:48 pm

Wow reirom, some of your recent posts showed that there might actually be a braincell or two in that head of yours, but obviously that's not true. Phew, you had me worried already.

Jaykoq · Post by **Jaykoq** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 8:27 pm

So, what then?
3 tracks in Weekly Wank, and 1 of them is F1 track?

And points go: 20 19 18 17 ... i supose?
