2012 RD Touring Car Championship (STCC 2)

[Björn]

Sounds great - though the no-chat rule seems a bit restrictive, why not congratulate on making the pole or winning after R1?

 

[Arne Dopudja]

Some of the rules I dislike but generally, its pretty cool. Also, weight penalties should be applied in some fashion, as per WTCC maybe.

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

I would be interested in a WTCC league! If this does happen I would gladly participate.

Also, I have no issues with the rules posted.

 

[David Kingshott]

I would also be interested in joining the league sounds like fun. Any idea on a day? Saturday would be best for me

Hope it comes off

Please note that the no-chat rule is a regular RD rule not specific related to the outlines he put on.

I'm pretty sure "no chat" applies only DURING the races themselves. You can give 'grats to pole BEFORE the race starts, and chat between races -- but only AFTER the results screen has flipped and before race 2 starts.

On the organization now ... I'd certainly be interested in helping out in that regard. I also, however, could certainly NOT do it myself. I have absolutely no experience in these matters. I think this would take a small team to get moving.

It's been over a year since the last RD WTCC league, and it's not looking like any of the 'new breed' of racing games will be ready in time to do a WTCC league this year either.
I propose we get this movin!!
Who else could help organize this? Post here and/or PM me .. we really need to get organized here.

 

[Ricoow]

I just told a staff member I would not do this as there would probably be no interest but if there is a solid team I could involve myself

Well, we need to organize that team then. There's been numerous people throughout this thread who've expressed interest in helping organize this (I have before as well) but it has always gone nowhere. I think in part because of how scattered over time this has been.

To that end, I shall now ping everyone who HAS expressed interest in helping with this league:
@Vaughn Stegeman, @Ricardo Umans, @Andreas Löffler, @Namgung Joong-Ki, @Justin Swan, @Andrew James, @Davy Lauwereys ... your attention is needed please.

Clearly there has been enough interest in organizing this. hopefully enough of these people are still interested, because then and ONLY then will this finally get off the ground and happen.

 

[Nox]

@Vaughn Stegeman Yep, I'd still be happy to help.

 

[Björn]

First of all, I'm always happy to help in general

Maybe it would be an idea to "test" the actual interest in a mini-series (I'm thinking 4, maybe 5 races here) so we don't plan something we won't find an audience for in the end - I'm a bit busy this week, though, so maybe I'll look into possible options to rent a VPS for this during the next week

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

I am still interested in this and would like to help, but I have pretty much zero knowledge when it comes to organizing a league.

 

[Justin Swan]

We need to see how other areas of the board pan out before we can commit to something as big as a league. I'm up to being involved but it's gonna have to wait a while.

I've no experience either, but there's really only one way to gain it, no?

Also, it's cool how two more people I didn't ping stepped forward to help!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "other areas of the board," but if you're referring to other sims, I don't see any of them being ready this year for such a league. This thread has been waiting now since 2012 for other sims to be ready!

I for one think it's time to stop waiting and start doing.

I was referring to this:

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Oh, that. right .. so no new leagues until that's sorted then? <sigh>
Just when interest seems to be actually gaining momentum too.

 

[Björn]

I guess it would still be okay to use this forum/topic for planning and organizing - at least for a potential test league

 

[Ricoow]

We could always start a private discussion to start with outlining what we want to organize. When we've got that fully covered on 'how to', 'what' & 'when' we can officially present our plans to RD staff and get either a 'wait for this to solve' or a 'you are good to go' reply

 

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Sounds good @Ricardo Umans .. as I don't know how to do such a thing, would you mind initiating it?

That is exactly what I did and got nowhere.
Good luck.

I have no idea either but I will find out
