RD GP Championship 2011

[Leonardo Ferreira]

Thats 23.20 local time here and for some more to the east its even past midnight. Personally I don't mind delaying the times a bit, but then there should be some consensus between the drivers that are willing to race

when the league start in march, i will be home every wednesday at 21:10GMT, so if its possible to join, i would doesnt matter if i not qualify, i prefer to start last, but at least i could race....

example: Qualify starts: 20:45 GMT
Warmup: 21:15
Race start: 21:20
Finish: 22:10

For the first two rounds I think this is not necessary Vinicius, as you must know, Brazilian Summer Time will end at February 26th so we´ll return to GMT-3, and for rounds 3 and 4, I guess 21:20GMT for a mid week day is too late because europeans will enter in Summer Time at March 25th. This without taking into account our dutches and South Africans friends (GMT+1)

[Bram Hengeveld]

Wow were you driving early in the morning all events? Respect

We really need to find a place in the weekend for GSC leagues me thinks

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I hope we can reach at least 20 drivers. League be postponed otherwise as 14 is too little for 4 rounds.

 

[Noel Spence]

yes bro

Sadly indeed

Perhaps we should consider to move the league for thursdays. At least some guys that drive in another leagues could join us and guarantee the S2

 

[Vinicius Ferreira]

what about a f3 league on saturday or sunday morning?

i would then have to sign out, people like to go out and do shopping on the weekends or do the house jobs, or they might just be going to visit family.

it's very tricky no matter what day it is on.

 

[Mike Bishop]

Guys is this league on or off, I think we need to sort this out so we can get our lives and calendars in order.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

When we hit 20 drivers we can start. With 15 and the know history of absent drivers I don't think we should start

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Guys what are we going to do? The signup list is currently half empty. Don't think thats a good base to start from with four rounds to go.

Would you like to proceed, postpone or something else?

 

[Reto Christiani]

poll for a different day?

can't you do some advertising? it might get some guys signed up?

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

For me, best choice would be to have the league on another day.

Otherwise we could try to promote the game and the league to people we know. For example, at RPM, first only Jari and Bram had the game but then, Ingemar, James and me also bought it because Bram said it was good. If you drive in a team, just tell everyone about the game and the leagues here.

Then we could do some sort of cross-promotion. I also drive at SRE, for example, together with Reto. We could go there, ask their drivers to join our leagues too, and on the other hand we race there too. I know Patrick Giranthon, their organizer, is a big GSC fan. We would get some french drivers for sure. Of course, in this particular case it is impossible because the leagues clash.
I know Sene drives at a brazilian community, I also drive at Touring Pro Series on rFactor, so we could try and cross-promote our leagues and events.

Last but not least you could send everyone who has ever driven a GSC club or league race a PM and inform about the league. I'm sure some have missed the announcements.

 

[Reto Christiani]

well expressed Robert!
the only way to make this league and GSC active and rock'n'roll is an attempt of organizing, working and promoting together!
get in touch with other communities and arrange and share information to get the few GSC drivers a maximum of racing possibilities and to avoid clashing dates.
and of course each of us should spread the word around, write, talk about it and get people behind that GSC-wheel!
