Its been over 10 years now since I really used to get into 'online' racing on forums, honestly I thought it would die with the advent of real online racing. But anyway why I am here is that I need some schooling on what the scene is like now.
In my day it was all TT based, we would run offline, write down our times and PM them to the race admin. Then at a set time the admin would post the results in the forum. Does that kind of offline league still exist? That is question one.
From reading some of the threads here (my god these forums are a mess these days.. what happened to the old software?.. What is this blog style degeneration?) it seems that you run online at a set time, but what happens after? I am guessing there is an admin who records all the results and figures out points and such? Also do you run qualifying?
Finally to any league admin here, if there were a website that could handle driver registration, produce race calendars and calculate points etc for you, would you use it? If so what would you expect it to do before you would use it?
For full disclosure I will tell that I am 80% way through developing such a website, but I won't post the link here, I just want info, not to spam.

on what gravitron says do not listen to him I hate having to enter in stuff manually. Any way to reduce time it takes to update points systems and driver info is going to be indispensable. hope I don't get kicked off the site for disagreeing with a moderator just trying to give an honest opinion!
