IRACING Getting an iRacing 2 League Started? - Ideas discussion

we would love to get one going but i need someone to set it up then i can go about recruiting, we already have about 8 guys who would prob do it

Hey mate. Yea we're just getting into iRacing, and sure to have a few guys interested in League racing.
This thread would be a good place for others to register interest and make suggestions.

Topic title changed to avoid confusion that this is discussion for getting a league started, not one that's already in place or about to be implemented.

I think multi-class style events would be a good option. Grids in iRacing are big enough to accomodate a range of driver skill level in one race without the need for separate divisional races. The multi-class aspect could be used to group similar skill levels or just accomodate users who haven't purchased all the same content. [EDIT - You need to have purchased all participating vehicles to join multi-make races]

I would love to see some racing in the Legends '54 Coupe on some road circuits. Just for fun, or as part of league racing.

While I'm here I'll let you know what additional content I have at the moment. Would prefer to start any league racing with what I've got already.

Cars

• Mustang FR500S[/*]
• Skip Barber[/*]

Tracks

• Suzuka[/*]
• Mid-Ohio[/*]
• Virginia[/*]
• Watkins Glen[/*]

Sounds good I am going to try to get in the game more this weekend and will work out how it all works. Was confused a week ago when I signed up to the pay for 1 month get 2 free deal.

Its a lot more technical as well

:lol: Woops.. post edited.

From PC sims/iRacing/Custom skin for ROOZ... topic

Maybe we would be best to piggy back on some existing events in the short term then. Get a handle on how it's done, then maybe consider launching our own.

We can still use this forum section to organize a 'ROOZ team' for whatever league so to speak, provide links to details and decide which league we want to run together, share tunes, and general event discussion. Similar to what TT-R has done in referencing the DUG site for the Sports car challenge Thursday league.

Being in WA though, weekend's (once GTLOZ S4 finishes) are best for me. Week-nights it's tough to get home in time without being super rushed, but I'd still consider having a run, especially on Wednesday's I get home a little bit earlier that day.

Interesting mad.
What if we ere to put up a prize for our league? I'm not sure whether that wuld help but i would like to give it a crack.

Can we confirm numbers of ROOZ members on iRacing?

Just thinking we could start off with some randomn hosted sessions or a series maybe just with irregular, fortnightly, or monthly races, to be announced whenever for whenever is convenient as long as we know there's more than just three or four guys on ROOZ active in iRacing.

I'm thinking some Legends on Road circuits or MX-5's would be an awesome place to start, and to get new guys involved so they don't have to purchase a car to get started. Fixed setup perhaps too for the same reasons.

CONFIRMED interest in Hosted League racing.
UNCONFIRMED or yet or signup to iRacing

Anyone else to add to that list? (more there than I orginally thought actually )
-EDIT- adding further drivers as posted

I don't care about a massive series or grids at the moment, it would just be good to race with you guys keeping it amongst ROOZ members, there's enough numbers there to get started if we all are keen.

Then maybe further down the track we can look at getting into other leagues with a ROOZ team. Go the whole hog with team skins and that....but let's cut our teeth and have some fun together on something less serious first.

Thoughts? :/

That's spot on what I was thinking Beau.

EDIT - adding Street Stock on road circuit to possible options.

If a few more of us confirm interest we can get a poll or something going for car/track combo and consider the first meet date....

So far it sounds like it's just me, Beau and Mad..... (maybe plus Bonus by next week)......wanna have at least 6 drivers I reckon, enough to warrant a leaderboard to record the race results

No hurry I guess but would be nice to get something established soonish.

I reckon having a Leaderboard will help us attract more participants, even if the races aren't all that serious.
Having some kind of results recording makes it a bit more official so people want to attend regularly IMO.

Hosted Sessions run for 2hrs minimum I think. So even with a 30min race in there I don't think the race and 'leaderboard' side of things will detract from the club meet feel for sharing tunes etc.

The thing for me is, I might as well just join an official session with a couple of you guys (as we've been doing) instead of paying for hosted sessions if there isn't a few more guys keen on committing to something like this.
