Truth. But since we're talking about this: When will WGP2 start?

Hosting a WGP3 series is excellent practice. That thread is always open. Have at it!
I'll revive the WGPC nation and update the OP when I next have time

If this one is not happening, I'd be up for a joint bid for WGP2 (I don't know if it's possible), starting from mid-october.
Shoot me a TG if you're interested in some participation/collaboration.

If we don't end up with a WGP2 bid by the end of the year then it could be run side by side with WGPC18. It would depend on whether the host(s) of WGPC18 would be up for scorinating the junior formula alongside the main event.
In any case, there's no strict timescale for either event. I 100% won't be hosting any racing competitions any time soon, though I have been working on an improved scorinator which will hopefully be up and running for the next cycle.

Hmm. In terms of the narrative that I'm thinking of (and the way that Nexus Racing does the WGP2 generally, treating it as a prototyping stage for the WGPC proper), I'd much prefer the WGP2 to be run prior to the WGPC... As such I would offer myself as a partner in this, Lisander, but I'm concerned that I a) wouldn't be able to be consistent with timings and b) wouldn't be able to grade RPs consistently enough, especially considering that I have a horse in the race. Even then, I might come round if things get late enough.

I would respond with 2 things
1) Generally this approach is the opposite of reality. Feeder series generally run the same schedule and often at the same tracks as the top level divisions. Additionally the cars wouldnt be considered similar enough to be used for any direct prototyping from one level to another as the Top Level is generally 'a league of its own' while all lower levels of competition would struggle with cost limits and financial struggles many of which would drive the desire to run as support events on the same schedule as the main series.
2) This is NS, so none of #1 has to apply. Time is Fluid and Rules aren't that clearly defined. I would just avoid putting all of the rest of your competitors into a 'box' by trying to strictly define something that is either open for interpretation or generally 180-degrees opposite of what the expected position would be. Just take a "You do you" approach and try to generally fit things in the way that works for you without setting a precedent that starts imposing those standards on others and all will be well

Or someone could just write one article for each, but that's going to add up. Especially as other sports rotate over that long time span. I get that feeder series run congruent with F1 in real life. Still, that'd take a major effort. More likely, the WGP2 might just get less attention.
Imagine having to come up with two separate story lines, two race weekends, two-four driver reactions..... Unless we put them in the same forum. That would have to mean shared RP bonus, where articles count for both regardless of which side you mention. But that would be a lot for one host, so that likely wouldn't happen.
If it has to be skipped until after next WGPC, it wouldn't be so bad.

I have my WGP3 cars set to 85% speed. Practice works - they do 2:24-2:26 laps for a 2:17.3 lap record. But in qualifying, the slowest is 2:24 - and the fastest is 2:17:334 (it's elimination qualifying). I feel like the speed modifier isn't being implemented here.
