Hi guys, long time no see. As Nikos says for my sins I am now admin at Legends League. I had the idea to avoid our races clashing as we are both bi-weekly, same time slot, and most crucially we both lean heavily towards running open wheelers so running on alternate weeks made perfect sense.
Thanks very much for your interest Nikos and preparedness to work together.
Since I contacted Nikos and Paul about this by PM some time ago, something has changed in fact which may or may not interest you all.
SR4L is very fortunate - you are one of the very few groups who can get a decent grid together on RF2. I and others felt the RF2 community was full of many small outfits all struggling to get more than 10 drivers on the grid so we decided to start this 'inter league' experiment on the gap week between our own bi-weekly races. It's worked out pretty good to be honest, we got together with Fun2Race and SpeedRacin.com and have now run the Megane, Spark F2 and 370Z (twice) next one is Celica GTO next Sunday. The races have gone really good with good drivers who practice, it not full of dropins - we boot them if they drop in with only 2 mins to go etc. It's been as good as a private league yet with an open server! The plan is at some point to actually do a proper point scoring inter-league championship, we have not got to that stage yet. So we would agree a common scoring system/server setting etc, and all can post the results on our respective websites.
I actually had the idea invite SR4L to this experiment right at the start in fact, the only reason I did not is because you guys have a disproportionately larger amount of drivers than the rest of us which is not an issue, but I did not want it to appear you was being invited in order to fill the grid up, which it may of.
So now things are slightly different, in that there is a clash either way, as the interleague thing is same bi-weekly time slot, so you have the choice of some kind of partner ship with Legends League as I see mentioned above, or with the interleague thing the choice is yours! You must do what is best for you. I guess it depends largely on the mod which gets run for the inter-league thing, well nothing is decided but the 2 main candidate so far are the Celica GTO or the Eve/Spark F2. If it was the F2 that could be interesting for you guys I think. If you would prefer the F1 '92 I know Legends would be very happy and willing to pursue such a partership also.
The really important thing with any kind of cooperation is that people go into it with the corrrect spirit, which is simply to get something cool happening on RF2 for mutual benefits, not to pursue any kind of self interest, that is something which comes as standard with Legends League / Fun2Race / SpeedRacin and I know due to my prior experience here everything will be cool with SR4L too so there will no problem here I know that.
Certainly interesting things can come of this, and we can all carry on our independent operations unaffected on tthe alternate weeks, we just need to stagger the weeks appropriately.
I will dust off my BT20 and drop in your server if I see some of you in there, or you can drop in the Fun2Race teamspeak to discuss any time you like we are often in there weekday nights.
Thanks again to Nikos for showing this initiative, RF2 is the best sim but has rather limited number of players, getting a full grid of like minded drivers together for a series is not so straightforward as it should be!
