  1. Fair point Aub, the meetings are over very quickly, especially over the last couple of months.

     

    Believe it or not, suggestions are already being made for the 2011 season and pretty much everything that you have suggested (apart from the reds/superstars race - but we can add this to the list) has already been suggested in that post. As an Admin Team, we have always tried to listen to the members and if we feel it will benefit the league, then we will look into it, and they are being looked into for next season.

     

    As for this season, we will not be making any changes to the meeting format as it then effects points and what not. I would add to that is traditionally July and August are quieter months (after the qualifiers and the wait for the World Final). Whilst the European was a little lower than expected, both Semi Final meetings had improved attendances and plus more races and therefore more time.

     

    Over the coming months, I would expect numbers to increase further. We have the World Championship double header to come, with the Wednesday night seeing an extra race on the card (Consolation Semi Final). We have also asked another league if they would be interested in taking part on both nights of the double header to try and spice things up, and thus far they have not got back to us with an answer. Add to that we have the British Championship, Tarmac masters, Grand National Championship, World of Shale, the possible return of a couple of qualifying rounds as well as the National Points Shootout, all at meetings which will include a different format or an extra race, and things will hopefully be looking up a little. The start of September is an exciting time for most leagues - what it needs is for people to come to theparty so to speak. If you think I can try and persuade anyone, or think of ways to persuade people, then please feel free to make suggestions.

     

    Can I also add that we are more than willing to put up the server at the end of the meeting. One of the most exciting things about racing 3-5 years ago was the fact that a lot of drivers stayed in the server at the end of the meeting for some 'afters'. Now Corny and Spike JNR are usually in the server after a meeting, and if there was interest, I would be quite happy to sit int he server and sort it out. If people wanted, we could put on there a selection of tracks, set the server to 10 laps say and have some races. Is this something that people would be interested in? Again, like Aub says, it would be a very good time to help the newer drivers, but it would need a good handful of drivers to take part.

     

    Anyway, I hope that tells you a little bit about the end of the season. Please feel free to make further suggestions as you think of them, but I can assure you that the suggestions that you have made are already being discussed. There are things that we can do in the here and now (like the above paragraph) and things that we can do in the future (like Aubs suggestion).

     

    As for the thing that Dode points out with the back wheel, it is a tricky one. We can't exactly ban drivers for hitting on the back wheel. On hale, I think you have to expect it a little bit due to the fact that you drive with the backend out. It is fair to say that in order to be quick, you need the back end out a little on tarmac too. All we can do is appeal to drivers to think about how they are racing. That said, in fairness, there have been very few what Iwould class as poor meetings this season, and people generally have been quite happy. But again, it still requires drivers to think for themselves a little bit.

     

    I hope that helps answer your queries a little bit? Shoudl you come up ith any further ideas, or anyone else come up with some ideas, then please feel free to post them. I can always add them to the thread on the Admin Forum about next year.

     

    Cheers

    its a good post by aub i have to say, and its one that i would have posted about the mod myself at somepoint. the racing is over quick in f1s way to fast for my liking and for others, if by chance you have a connection problem your screwed. say it takes you 5-10mins youve probably missed all your heats.IF you cant get back in on the warm down time and som epcs are slower than others at booting up the game.

     

    aubs also correct in saying cant even have time for a FILTERED, i have to laugh because one night a few weeks back i was needing a FILTERED and i just leave it to the end of the gn incase i missed the final/gn

     

    i for one hope we have the points system run on 3 heats each person next year.

     

    i would like to see......format as.

     

     

    3 heats each....and 3-5mins warm up in between each race incl heats/final/gn....(a bit of time for some chat,a restart of the game and to try a different set up inbetween races)

    final

    gn

    and to end the night a dash for cash all in race maybe.........

     

    6 races all in not to bad if i say so plenty of racing to be had. couldnt believe last night we was finished after 9 .its good ithat its finished early and we can sit our arses down but i like my thursdays for some banter and some good enjoyable racing. hope admin take the points across.

  3. Hello,

     

    Having not raced F2 tarmac for a long time, I have no idea if I am on the pace or not. Could anyone give me a rough lap time to aim for?

     

    Cheers

  4. Unsurprising really that I thought it was a top nights racing, seemed to be hard but fair all the way through the field. I was chuffed to win as Dave mentioned its my first championship win, but also it was my first win of the season, and the first ever win for the Duratech engine so a nice triple.

     

    WD to Freew who I also think was the first yank to win a UKDirt race?

     

     

    aye top stuff drumb,

    you seemed to have a slight edge with that duratec it was pulling in the mid point of the straight ever so slightly from me when we were 1st and 2nd i was gaining slightly it on the corners but losing it on the straight.

     

    it was certainly a hard battle between the 4 of us for the ttile, me,yourself, robin and tomd, the hits were going in hard but good fair hits on the iron.

     

    quality stuff all round. :appl:
