View Full Version : ADD-ON league, your thoughts on a NOT-SO-FAST but FUN league

OK, now how do I start this one?

Well first of all: we have a GTLegends add-on server. It is not used as much as could be, but still there's a group of around 15-20 that use it every friday night. We have picked around 40 tracks, based on 'best of the bunch' and voting.

Now some of you may be in leagues already - no doubt you'll have noticed the fun of clean & close racing. But it is only 'for the few', that is the faster racers. I am sure there's plenty of clean racers that would like to be in a league, but have no joy in being dead last all the time.

Now, I propose, add-on style racing:

- 3 tracks (or more, some are very short!) each night, 15 min qualy-7laps;
- all GTC-65 cars (minus GT40) and TC-65 cars plus add-on cars;
- car-choice free, but one car per season, and 'promoted downward' if necessary.

What I mean with 'promoted downward' is that the fast guys should be so elegant not to choose the Corvette - because that would destroy the whole goal of 'close racing'. In an ideal situation, we'd see 20 cars on the grid, ranging from Abarth to Cobra, qualy-times all within a second from eachother (we have so far accomplished that with 6 cars...)

So - we'll need a bit of info from you. What DAY & TIME, what car you'd like to drive, what would you think about the events? What about scoring points, what period for a 'season' (maybe it should last a year?) and what happens if people apparently choose a 'too fast car'.

Anyway, here's the first poll.

Hi Bozont, we have Minis in 3 tastes:
- Mini Cooper S
- Mini Cooper S with wide wheels;
- Mini 1310 Cooper S... with DucFreak add-on sounds.

Also we have several V8's, as we use TC-65 and GTC-65 (without Ford GT40).
I sent you a PM with the list... have an 'ear' which one you like soundign best :mrgreen:

We have several drivers from the eastern-area in the TC-65 server, and also on the add-on server.
Check the public TC-65 server which is running 24/7.

#2 GC TC-65+, it usually has a VERY LOW ping. With me it's < 10... or not even measurable!
Add-on server will have the same ping.

An add-on league would be interesting, but difficult for me to make every race, whatever day is chosen. Hope it would be ok just to join in now and again?

If you got booted in TC-65, that is probably because you joined just when it went to 'race'. Try again. ;-)
You only get booted during race if you are a very naughty boy :ohmy:

Yes, it would probably last all through winter-time (when there's less sports on TV anyway :mrgreen:), besides we'll probably drop 5 worst results so no problem.
