Team vs Team Challenge

[RLR Luchian]

Greetings,
I just registered on your forums after a quite pleasing race evening on your server, Dead Men Racing. Sometime back this would not be such a big event, but nowadays it's a rare find on more or less public servers.

I represent a LFS community (Racing League Romania) with currently about 15-20 active racers left (from 100+ at some point). Having raced with you for 1 hour was enough to realize that we share the same values. It's not the skill that comes first, but the respect of your fellows racers. The timing is also perfect, as our 7th season just finished last Sunday, and the next one will start in September. So meanwhile, it is the RLR Summer Events period , when we use to organize open type events, in different combos.

Which brings me to the subject:
What would you say about a Team vs Team event (DMR vs RLR) ?

GUIDELINES (subject of modifications, according to commonly discussed wishes):
Participants: first 10 racers from each team (by first I could mean in terms of fair-play not only laptimes)
Quali Session : 30-60 minutes before the event, or a day before, or during the previous week
Quick Race : 30 minutes race
Main Race : 60 minutes race, with the start grid reversed for the first 10 places
Track : Westhill ? As it doesn't get enough love (TbD)
Car : anything in the Road category (TbD)

GOALS:
Having fun in our favourite sim (going against another team could mean a good motivation)
Meeting new fair-play racers

..and who knows if this wouldn't be the start of a long series of such events ?

What "say you" ?

Sportively,
RLR Luchian

I'm not a racer so I can't address your requests, but I'd just like to put on record, that it is posts like the one above that make me proud to be a Deadman.
Fair play & good company.
All the best with your races, I hope we hear reports of exciting duels in the future.

Edit: and btw, if any of you play CS:GO, you are welcome to join us for a scrap. Same ethos applies.

Heya Luchian and welcome to the forums great racing last night from everyone, the xfg is always a fun week, xrg next week so the fun should continue.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm sure if you organize a time and date, we can find ten or so racers from the Dominant Monkeys and Deadmen teams to show up. We already have weekly events for Sunday nights on the DM® server and Thursday nights on deadmen, so Tuesday night would be great :thumb:

I'll be there, anyone else up for it?

[Mille Sabords]

Always interesting to see this kind of racing around, I'd join for a few events if time allows... wife, kids, job, vacations (not necessarily in this order) will be in the way of any event as they have been lately, but I always seem to find a few hours for LFS now and then.

Drumbun as Romanians say! (litterally good trip/road, not easy to find in Romanian countryside )

[RLR Luchian]

Thank you for the warm welcome.
So, if I understood correctly, there would be some interest for the event.

I'll throw a few questions inside RLR and should come back with a valid proposal.

On your side, I see Tuesday is the preferred day. As a side measure, any chance that we could squeeze in a Friday (or even a Saturday) evening in the list of possibilities ? (the family racers are not always available in the week days..)

OT, @Mille Sabords: it will still need a few years.. but it'll get there

[Jamin]

Tuesday was my suggestion to get things going, Friday or Saturday should be ok.

So, if I understood correctly, there would be some interest for the event.

Hopefully people will post here to express an interest, check back in a week to see before organising anything

Hi Luchian, welcome.
I would like to take part in some team racing, however, the proposed format is far too strenuous for me.
Sorry!

[TeaLeaf]

Welcome Luchian, lovely to hear the great feedback on the dMw server and the fair play of our dMr racers!    Looking forward to seeing a dMr v RLR  event agreed!  Might even get my wheel out for a spin to make up the numbers if we are short!

[RLR Luchian]

OK, I'm back with news . As everybody is preparing for summer holidays, there are similar concerns on our forum also. Therefore the format gets lighten up a bit. Also, we don't have a magic day that suits everybody, so we'll just establish one, hoping that interested people will show up .
For a first encounter, anything should be ok, finally.. We'll see how it goes, and maybe we'll do it again sometime in the future. Main goal is to have fun.

So, new format:
Quali : 15 minutes (if not attended => start at the back of the grid in quick)
Quick : 20 minutes (15p, 12p, 10p, 8p, 6p, 5p, 4p, 3p, 2p, 1p)
Main : 40 minutes (for the first 10 places reversed grid) (20p, 15p, 12p, 10p, 8p, 6p, 5p, 4p, 3p, 2p, 1p)
Track : Westhill International Reversed
Car : XRG

Date: Friday, 12 of July
Time: 19H00 GMT
Server: Racing League Romania
We'll setup a password at race moment.

Hope to see you in big numbers .

PS: Thank you TeaLeaf

[Jamin]

XRG@we I'll be there :thumb:

[Lameduck]

I'll be there too, only I'll be going round the other way  (weR)

[atomant]

If it's ok with everyone, I'll be available incase either team needs a spare driver to even things out. While I have many friends (although they will deny it) at DMr, I'd play no favorites. Anyhow supply me with the password and I'l show up ready to race if needed.

( and as Duck pointed out...I'll drive WE1R and just avoid jamin going the other way round :roflmao:)

[RLR Luchian]

:lmfao: feels like home here.
I don't think we risk filling a 32 race grid, so I propose that anyone racing under DMR colors is welcome (even if they are not really DMR per say).
If you'll be more than 10.. then we can consider balancing up a bit (supposing we'll not be enough either).

I hesitated to make the pass public too soon, but I guess we can always change it, in case of problems .
So, until further notice, the password is: challenge4fun

Cheers,
Luchian

EDIT: it's ok for 2nd race also, only don't hope to be too high on the start grid

[Seany]

I'll try to come along.  I may only arrive for the 2nd race though, if that's ok.

[Jamin]

Err.. :narnar:
