VWSR S3: Virtual World Series by Renault (F3.5)

[Von Butters]

Hasnt the sign up's for the F3.5's started? I thought they had, I've even asked other if they are wanting to team up. I've looked, looked and looked again, but cant find them anywhere.

Am I just missing the link, or have I finally cracked?

[Larry Thomas]

I think you have cracked.
Welcome to the club

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

The F3.5 sign ups have not yet started.

 

[Kevin McDonald]

This is one series I'd love to run in. Hope it's on a day I'm available!

 

[Ian Franssen]

Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence, I was very busy in personal life.

Good to see people are interested.

The season will start early 2014, probably half januari. We intend to have a race every 3 weeks, untill june, which will be around 8 or 9 locations, with double races making it an total of 16 to 18 races. I can't say how many people will join as it is the first season, but looking at the other leagues the intrest is high when a leaque is organized. When there will be a lot of people participating a second league is formed.
This month the info will be released and people can sign-up for the league.

 

[Bruno Sousa Ferreira]

[Bob Luneski]

[Nicky De Fré]

Another battle with bruno would be great

 

[Von Butters]

More than interested Ian mate, biting at the bit, waiting for this to hit off!

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Count me in for sure !

 

[ufunacaoenn]

I might be available.

 

[Magnus Dahlgren]

I'm highly interested as well!
The Formula Renault 3.5 have received too much negative criticism since it was released, which is a shame, since it really is a pleasure to drive once you get to know your way around the setup of the car!

 

[José Almeida]

Maybe im in depending on the schedule

 

[Andrew Ford]

[David Boulianne]

Cheers!

Introduction
Welcome to the third iteration of the Virtual World Series by Renault hosted by Racedepartment. After the success of our first two V-WSR seasons with the Clio's and the Meganes, we are now also introducing the Formula Renault 3.5 Championship.

The formula cars, were young talent is prepared before Formula 1, will be an open league for any licensed RD member to join, to fight for the Driver Championship and to form or join a team to compete for the Team Championship. A one man team is also allowed.

The first F3.5 championship will be held at 9 different venues, with back to back races, and a reversed grid for the second race based on the end results of the first race, for the first 15.

With a lot of points to be devided every race, and extra points to be won by achieving small achievements during a raceweekend like fastest lap, poleposition in qualy, poleposition for second race by finishing first race 15th, and most positions gained during a race, there is always something to race for and points to be scored, even if you start from last position.

Available cars
Drivers in this series will be driving the Formula Renault 3.5 cars from ISI's default content. All setup options will remain available during the sessions.

Tracks:
TBA

Driver Aids:
Auto clutch on/off
