CANCELED (All) F1 World Championship Season 2

This is starting to degenerate into a "Is this a serious, competitive, palm sweating event" or "Is this something for me to get my jollies on."

I can't speak for R4C3RJK99 (who seems to be on another hiatus) on how serious he wants this event to be, but I will say this: new ideas on how to run an event are always welcome, because no one can think of everything. But throwing a temper tantrum about it is not the way to go. Constructive criticism is more useful than hot-headed criticism, because there's room for conversation in the former. The latter is a line drawn in the sand more often than not.

Each event is someone's attempt to have a racing experience and share it with others. How that experience is flavored is up to the creativity of each event organizer. Before signing up for an event, if it isn't to your taste, then find another one. One doesn't exist? Then create the event yourself, with your rules. The event you're in starts to change its rules in a way that doesn't suit you? No one is stopping you from resigning, and no one will think less of you for doing so.

Personally, the pit format set in the OP is simple and easy to understand. It also works well into the future for each race. Rather than try and determine the laps that we pit on each track, since it would be different, focusing on the constant is the better route. Each race is 60 minutes. The pit windows are 10-15, 30-35, and 40-50 minutes into the race. This is easy to remember, and works for everyone, regardless of what lap they are really on.

There is strategy involved, based on your own racing skill. Are you the type of person who starts strong but begins to fade in endurance races? You want to pit late. Are you the type of person who wrecks alot to start, but finishes strong once in the groove? Pit early. There is even in race strategy, because for the longer tracks, the window is big enough that you can pit at the START or END of the lap the window is open for. On BC24, the window would start at the end of Lap 3, start of Lap 4 (pit option 1) and still be open by the end of Lap 4 (pit option 2).

Everyone is overthinking it. As for the "compounds" they are meaningless, it is simply a role-playing aspect of the event to explain why we pit, and why we pit at different times.

Race officials is going to be an issue in that we are not going to have enough, if any for some platforms I suspect. For the pressure and responsibilities, it's going to be difficult to find someone to do this job w/o getting some form of compensation. Even Shaggy got compensated, however little, by the views and potential subs he was getting.

But if we do have officials, keeping track of the pits is not difficult. You write down everyone who is going to pit early in one column, everyone who is going to pit late in a second column, and the whole field in a third column. When players come in to pit, you check them off the list. Anyone who didn't come in during the window and didn't get a check get's penalized (w/e that is).

P.S. We need some of you Playstation members to focus on remaking the tracks. 3 2 are still needed on PS3, 4 on PS4.
