In an effort to at least get a mold going for a potential racing league I am conducting a pole for the type of race car people here would prefer.
We can, of course, have multiple leagues, but figured it would be a good idea to just start with one here in a few weeks or so and see how it goes.
Note: Please only vote if you are seriously considering to participate.

That is a tought question because i love all the classes (except Karts they are evil). I love the GT cars, but havent really tried them out to much I seem to be stuck in the lower end Formula cars at the moment.
One thing about the league stuff, Would it be pretty much mandatory that you show up for ever race, or could you just miss some races and miss out on the points?
Honestly i will try racing anything, but I selected GT in the Poll.

They used to only count your best 11 of 17 races towards the championship because of how many times cars would blow up and run out of fuel. In this case, if we had a ten race championship, only your best 7 races count. That way you could miss 3 without being penalized as harshly.

I was going to say if you missed 3 in a row you are out. But this makes more sense to me.

Formula A is my favorite, then LMP and GT, but I'll race just about anything, except Kart.

The only thing I'd suggest is that it should be restricted to one class, as I voted LMP/GT but after thinking about it maybe not such a great idea for example if there is only 4 GT racers in the Multi car race and only two show up, it's kind of a waste of time in my opinion. Just a thought.
I'll keep my vote on LMP/GT as I love those classes, but I'm open to anything.

I voted multi class as well but rickybobby has me thinking that one class is better. Also servers are pretty unstable right now so if we can only have 8 or so guys a race without lag and frame rate issues I'd like them all to be in the same class

I like open wheel the best, but I'm open to a lot of other types. The Formula C or Gulf cars are a lot of fun to drive.

It's still not a waste of time to race since you'll be almost guaranteed points.It motivates others to participate since you basically give up points if you don't. We could just do LMP 1 and GT. That way you have a good amount of people in each class and you don't have to worry about not enough people showing up for competition. If the call ends up being open wheel we can decide on which one afterwards. I am closing this pole in another week.

Yeah "waste of time" was a little harsh but it wouldn't be as much fun racing one person, anyways two classes works good too.

I'm really digging the LMP2 Nissan. So LMP1/LMP2 & GT got my vote.
I also wouldn't mind LMP1/LMP2 only as well.

I guess I need to start practicing with open wheel cars. Granted I've only driven them Formula A cars a couple times but I suck with them lol.

So are we starting a league or not?

So are we starting a league or not? Yes, as I said in an earlier post, poll closes tomorrow. I think if it remains a tie, an open wheel would be best. Level playing field, and will be competitive even if a few miss a race.

Poll has closed. See the Official Events section for details on the league.

I guess I've totally missed this thread and poll over the last 2 weeks, but I'd still like to throw my two cents in:
#1: LMP
#2: Open Wheel
#3: Karts!!!
Below the lowest rating: GT
