Flyin' Miata Super Cup S2 | Season Complete - Thanks to all participants!

I find it a bit crazy that the only reason someone would click on the thread is for the addition of three letters. Wouldn't be ran any differently, racing would be just as good. I don't get it.

It's all about association. If you see something associated with a larger organization you may be more inclined to check it out, believing it to be cleaner, more organized, etc. You see a random one-off guy with his plucky series idea and it comes off as non-reputable. That's how the layman thinks.

"Let's say, if every GTPlanet Forums member interested in Sim-Racing had a look at the thread we would already have 2 lobbies"
This is why. We have to make people see the thread. So maybe with the IRS tag more people open the thread. Like: are you interested in an event organised by Formula 1 or an event organised by an unknown person? This is what I'm talking about. But it's just my opinion.

I'm not exactly unknown around here, that's for sure. And if three letters is what it takes to get more people interested then I find that a bit silly to be honest. Again, nothing else would change so I find it unnecessary.

And yet numbers are still lower than you'd like. Couldn't hurt to be a little humble about it

If nothing else, the time slot doesn't help but to me that's not a major priority.

Time slot isn't really changeable for me so if it doesn't work for anyone then it is what it is I guess.

I just don’t get get it, you said to us to spread the word about the series and all and then someone offers help that can maybe get the series started and you find it silly

What if that actually help us to get the 12 minimum to get us racing ; i think that’s all people want

Considering the fact that the only argument you give about not taking this idea working is that’s because it’s « silly ». It’s pretty pessimistic

If it’s for the best of the series then why not?

Exactly. I agree with both of you.

I just don't get why that's a big deal. To each their own I guess.

we all want to go racing in this particular series because we care about it thats what

 

[The Gran Finale]

If you’re still planning to do this, I’ve registered. I should be able to make all races except the finale. The Sunday time slot works a lot better for me than the Monday night slot I last saw this series in.

Always been Sunday. Welcome!

I'll jump on to be a late addition since I'll be free! Gotta be no practice squad for it since I'm gonna be watching FIA Nations Cup Finals.

Won't actually be starting tomorrow, so I have to update everything. Was going to message and ask if you were going to join again this season and totally spaced it.

 

[Alex Mart]

So one more driver left to register to get the minimum? that’s good news!

 

[tincanofdeath]

i’m down to join

 

[tincanofdeath]

[CodeRedR51]

I'll update the schedule and get us on track to start this weekend.

 

[Alex Mart]

I’m setting uo my practice lobby, what are penalty setting? Is it like last season which there were no virtual issued penalties?

None.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Something came up this weekend, we'll delay one more week. Hopefully a few others will jump in by then. 👍

 

[Drummer79]

Good idea, going to be out of town Sunday anyways!

 

[NoirAntares]

Signed up, look forward to racing with you again @R1600Turbo

 

[CodeRedR51]

Updated the event schedule to reflect the proper dates.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Quick update, we have 16 registered as of right now. Assuming everyone arrives for the first event, we'll be off to a good start. 👍 Only one of you have chosen to take the co-driver option, which I highly recommend if you are unsure if you'll make all of the rounds.

I will post the race preview tomorrow night, and we'll see everyone on Sunday.

 

[Drummer79]

I will not be able to make race 1. Kid has a school function...yes on Sunday, I don't get it either?
