I'll register, but I'm going to purchase a new FGT in the color I want to run. After that I'll sign up.

Go for it. It's up to you, which colour you run. As we haven't announced official season races, or dates, you have a decent amount of time.
 
Announcement:​

This series will be run on Wednesdays, accompanying the Karts series.


These two series, and (perhaps) some others, will contribute to the W.M.A. Open Wheel Discipline.

Works great for me 👍 There usually isnt anything going on during the week anyway. :)

Any time you're hosting group tests/practice, I'm in. :)

Same here mostly. I'm on in the evenings.

Okay: 3 P.M. GMT-5 okay guys? Or... 4 P.M. GMT-5? 16:00 GMT-5 is 21:00 GMT-0, 22:00 GMT+1 etc.


These times DON'T factor in any differences for summer/winter time, meaning that it's ALWAYS 3 P.M. GMT-5 (it would be 2 P.M. GMT-5 in the winter time.) That means it's 2 P.M. GMT-6 (summer time) etc.
 
If I'm reading that correctly 3pm would be best for me. You're in Central time huh? I'm only 2 hours behind in Pacific time. :)

Is that late for the UK though?
 
3pm EST should be 10pm my time ... GMT +2

There's still a lot of confusion around this daylight savings time 🤬.


I'm adding a countdown timer to both series.


Also, I think I'll specify SPORTS tires for Wednesday, just to see how manageable the cars are.

I will be there and the tire choice is going to make it pretty interesting, I'm willing to try it.

I find, because it gives the front tires less grip, that it seems to give the rears more grip. Anyways, it should slow these Star Mazdas down, to somewhat more similar Star Mazda lap times/speeds.
 
Which sports tyres? Sports Hards?

Sorry I could not find the answer..

Well, considering that I'm not specifying, I'll allow any Sports tires, but I will recommend Sports Softs, mainly.
 
2 hours! :D I have tremendously bad news though. This is the only race I'm going to be able to make for this series. My entire schedule has changed on me and I work day shift now to indefinitely. I have to withdraw from another series as well.. :(:(

Edit: This is insane, I cant even make this race now, people and their 🤬 problems! I'm sorry MrM. :(

While I'm typing here though, dont worry about WRC, I'm still in that, its all I have left all of a sudden..

That as well is pretty bad news. It was going to a fun series, I liked the 6spd FGT a lot. In fact I have 2 FGT's, I'm keeping my loved Yellow and Black a Star Mazda for funs :) If you cancel the series would it be dead for good, or would you try and revive it later?

Well, there're only five people interested. :(


Instead of this, I might make a series from the following:

Clio/Lutecia Cup

MX-5/Spec Miata Cup

New Beetle Cup

Lupo Cup
 
You're making series' that everyone already has or is doing. That's why there's no interest. This series would be good, but try something different in the thread title. Maybe something like Star Mazda open wheel series. People may think it's an MX5 series as it is when they see Mazda.
 
No offence but aren't you 'WMA' guys oversaturating the racing series section a tad? I know you're trying to create a ladder but that doesn't mean you have to start a hundred series simaltaneously.

Our IndyCar series is just about to go into it's 3rd season and only now are we considering a feeder, Indy Lights, series. Start small and then expand so you won't have these participation number issues. Better to have a couple of popular series than 5 that hardly anybody joins.

Just my two cents.

I just want open wheel series. :L

There's plenty around that are flourishing, there's Ferrari F1 series around i'm aware of, IndyCar and Indy Lights starting soon and there's another couple of events that I'm not too familiar with using the FGT.

We have:


  • ITCC-me
  • Bankfin-NizmoDR3
  • WRC-Rallymorten
  • Karts-me
  • Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge


These ones, at least, have very good attendance. The others are "If it works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't."


I'm cancelling this series, and the VLN, as there isn't interest, as you said, and we did "jump the gun" a bit with some series, but, most of the W.M.A. series that ARE W.M.A. series, were formed beforehand, and joined W.M.A. after the fact.


Anyways, as for W.M.A. Open-wheel series, this one's also gaining popularity.

I guess, I'm getting into the Ferrari one but I still have to get a lot of practice(which I have been getting in.)

Once the Indycar/Indy Lights start up I'll take a look. I just love racing the FGTs, there's a whole community of us on GT5 that race just these things sometimes.
