Thanks a lot! It's all a result of me messing with the program. Trial and error.

Nah, I just had so many things to catch up since I was not able to RP much later in the stage last season. Also the circumstances wherein my team had no drivers yet and I have no concrete plan of action yet for it as of now. Thanks anyway.

The OP of the WGP3 post does imply that it's only for last season. That was the original plan. I think its better if we just use it like the International Domestic Soccer Newswires thread and keep it running in perpetuity.

I actually appreciate the editorial styles I've been seeing lately. The newspaper articles covering the schedule change actually have a news vibe in most cases. Especially Mattijana's. That's just as good of writing as any I've seen this pre-season. They feel like editorials because it seems as if the author is trying to push a viewpoint or examine the situation from an IC perspective.

This season, F1 has announced it will be awarding a bonus point for the driver who gets the fastest lap in a race. Pending a couple of scorinator tests, I could implement this into the coming WGPC season.

I'd like to see if it just brings up extra points for drivers already winning tons of points (in which case I'm probably 'n'), or if it gets spread out a little (then certainly 'y'). It's a nice RP hook in either event.

I think its about time I threw my hat into the WGPO instead of just reading it.

Ill probably need some help though, I only really pay attention to NASCAR so I know nothing about open wheel racing.

The signup thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=459557

You can still enter a driver for this season. Once you do that, you simply post a few RPs about your driver hoping to get signed by one of the teams on the grid (there's still a couple of open drives). The season proper doesn't start for another month or so, until every team is filled.

If you pay attention to NASCAR that puts you a step ahead of me. And you should keep an eye out for NSSCRA (the NS version of NASCAR) whenever we have a new season of that.

I mean, I'm determining half of my WGP3 series' races' grid positions based on fastest laps. A single point is hardly a stretch! Yes from me.

Hell yeah, Ill definitly get involved in that. I've been looking for an NS racing RP, so I was really excited to know that WGP existed. Knowing that an NS NASCAR equivalent exists is awesome to know.

Also, concerning this RP, do I need to wait to be accepted before I start posting or can I start as soon as I have an app up regardless of weather Ive been accepted? I know that usually you have to accepted first, but it seems like its a little more informal here in certain regards.
