Im available!

I'll be withdrawing from the league, apologies to the organisers pulling out after intending to do the full season. Intermittent wheel issues along with increased work commitments has just left me with too little motivation to continue.

 

[Hasnain282]

First of all apologies for the inactivity on the forum from myself, some of it couldn't be helped but I will be more active on here for the remainder of the season.

We will continue to finish the season as planned though every race being a week later due to not racing last week.

I have updated the roster, which as you can see still has some spaces left, so if you know anyone that might be interested in racing for 5 weeks then be sure to send them here.

Due to the drop off in numbers, we'll be going back to the system used at the end of last season, where you state your availability on the thread rather than unavailability. If we don't hit a minimum of 15 drivers by an hour before the race then the race will be cancelled and we'll move on to the next round.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know I won't be participating for the rest of the season.

In all honesty, I've lost complete motivation or desire to play the game. I am in PSGL F2 as well, and I don't do any laps for that either and honestly, I'd rather keep a night free.

I've enjoyed my time in RD, especially when the grids are decent but yeah, I am busier with work and my other projects and I don't want to force myself to do something or practice for something which may or may not happen, and additionally something I won't enjoy.

I won't be too critical of the administration, although the it could be better.

Thanks and good luck for the rest of the season if it happens,

Connor

Hey @Hasnain282 @Martijn Boontje . I didn't want to post this in the sign up thread because I'm not *fully* committed with a decision....

I'm *unlikely* to be available to race often for the rest of the season if it goes ahead. First and foremost I'm on a master's year of my engineering course, and it is absolutely piledriving me up the rear right now. Even if I were to turn up I wouldn't be practising. For me though once the interest from everyone has dropped and people have started leaving any kind of interest I have goes with is as well. Waiting around until late in the day each week to see if I'm racing doesn't really do it for me, and I'd rather just cut my losses straight up than endure the pain.

Not really sure what it is that makes the numbers drop mid season in the last couple years, but it does rather point towards the current set up coming toward its end. I think I'm at the point now where I'd rather boot up F1 sporadically like for that 100% race we did a few months back on F1 2019, just to have some one off fun and not have it tied down week on week.

If there was a good vibe about the place and a booming, competitive grid I'd probably have stuck it out, but with how it is now I can't justify the time spent on RD versus my degree. So with that, please consider me unlikely to put my name forward available to race from here on out.

 

[Alex2196]

Available!

 

[alex1994128]

unsure yet myself as i am hand over first into my semester and singapore isnt really a track where i can hop on 30 min earlier and have a somewhat enjoyable race

 

[Dawidos]

Can't race, most likely won't be able to for the rest of the season either because I'll probably be going back to Leeds from uni and would leave my wheel at uni

 

[Ollie_D631]

I am willing to finish the season off but only if the numbers are good enough. By the looks of it, they wont be and i am not really willing to give away a tuesday evening if the numbers are poor being at uni aswell.

 

[janbo]

I'm terribly out of form, having been forced to recover from an injury for the past few weeks. The Monza race went on heavy pain killers but it was a steep slope after that.. That being said, I'm still enjoying racing and will definitely take part tonight if the race goes on.

 

[Cripton-iite]

Available for tonight

 

[clarky_110]

Would have carried on, but since a lot of the front runners are dropping out I don’t have much motivation to practice or commit myself every Tuesday

 

[janbo]

I'm sorry but this is starting to feel a bit silly to me. Everyone quitting because everyone is quitting? How about not quitting?

Should we just shorten the calendar and get the season done with? Maybe vote for 2 tracks from the remaining ones and finish in style? I'm sure you guys have 2 more weeks in you.

Yeah i think this would be a good way to finish the season

Well because most of us cba to invest 4 hours+ into racing around singapore with a 11 man grid, i think with another track the willingness to race would be a lot higher.

Speaking for myself since around britain i have a massive dip in motivation and since around spain i only played the game on tuesdays for RD. so obv i want to have fun while racing and with low numbers its just miserable

I do understand that you want to have fun while racing, we all do I'm sure. 10-12 cars is too little, I agree, but what I don't quite understand why a full grid matters so much to the front runners. They'll be a pit stop ahead of the guys out of top 10 anyways, so it's hard for me to grasp that. If anything it should be a problem for guys like me who are usually somewhere in the middle of the pack.

 

[Hasnain282]

Due to lack of participants, tonight's race is cancelled.

I will have the Suzuka thread up shortly, if there's not enough numbers for that one, I will most likely end the season there.

I was on the podium in every single race from singapore onward last season. Each of those races were with grids between about 10-13 people. Even winning those races they felt like a complete waste of time and I looked forward to the end.

I don't think I've even seen 15 people respond for or against which says a lot about the numbers right now. For one reason or another the league's fallen apart a bit over recent weeks, which is undoubtedly a shame but it is what it is.
