Where is your GFWL ID.... Do you not want anyone to know who you are?
@ Tracy - norman biscuits GFWL = the evans boy
@ OP - I gave the RD 2011 club races a fair crack, but after a month or so, it was clear that things were never going to settle down.
Not surprising really as this forum seems to have become a bit forgotten. Post race is not regulated. People who try to uphold the licence rules and conduct are shot down in flames after the race and branded elitest.
In 2010 the community enjoyed self regulating races, were respectful of each other, matters normally settled on track and even when discussions continued after the race on the forum, people would conduct themselves properly even if they had to agree to disagree on matters.
This formula 1 community was a lot bigger than 3 people. We have enjoyed league racing with 3 full grids of decent racers, countless club races. Yes maybe only a handful of people are bothering to voice an opinion, but there is at least a pool of around 20 racers who are not coming here anymore and have silently voted with their feet.
This is no dig at James Chant, he has a personal life, but this forum is crying out for more moderators, and I dont just mean the club section - maybe even moderators/stewards who actually do the club races and can help out the host and fellow racers to enforce the RD rules and track conduct.
elitist dickhead attitudes like this are definitely a turn off.
no-one speaking on voice comms, no bonding.
unfriendly stand-offish community - totally looking at the "regulars".
@ Norman - You have epitomised exactly my point with your rather ineloquent post. Obviously I respect your opinion, but the reality of whats happening to the 2011 RD club would indicate that you might want to have a rethink.
These regulars you refer to, was pretty much the entire RD Formula 1 2010 community. The community and its mutual respect and the licensing rules was what made the 2010 races work so well. You seem to be hung up on it being a bad thing.
RD is a big forum but its not the only forum which organises F1 races. There are places where community spirit and rules still apply. Moderators/stewards actually race and therefore can enforce conduct. There is a post race poll where if a racers gets too many votes, they suffer a penalty, which adds incentive to drive clean and respectfully - with RD there is no consequence, and with that no lessons learned, no community spirit and no fun anymore.
