I'm in the FOFC Indy Car series.
I have 3 private league, 1 public, and 2 mid season slots left open if anyone needs a teammate.

Yeah, unfortunately, as they keep computing world rankings, they keep finding guys better than me.

Out of the top 100 last I checked.

I think the big thing that will push you up in the rankings is winning a public championship.

I still have a couple of issues with the rankings. First is the question of whether they adequately address cherry-picking, second is that I doubt they divide between pre- and post-mid-season-replacement eras. It was a lot different racing when you'd have half (or more) of the field abandoned by the midway point in a season.

no clue, but we've lost many players in this one. As I posted in the series chat, only 18 of 24 drivers ran practice laps prior to the qualifying for Laguna Seca and four drives are available when you check the join midseason game page with our series number...

maybe we need to start with a smaller starting field if that is possible.

it's always possible, every series have their limitations as to what minimum of drivers you need to have before you say go. Thing is, we always try to get as many people from here as possible, leading to people signing up and then disappearing...

just realized that in all series together, I have now started over 150 races. Good thing I'm off work for summer vacations and am running 12 series at once.

8 of those starts resulted in wins

To the guys who signed up for the Pacific Racing Challenge Season 5, I'm disappointed in you. I vouched for you, talked all kinds of good about you so you would have an all FOFC team of three and now two of you have disappeared, leaving Travis (sorry, can't seem to make the connection with an FOFC name here) alone and fumbling to find replacements. That's not very good. I know shit can happen in real life, but least you could have done would have been to let your teammate know so he could go and try to find replacements before he's lost a couple races of time... That sucks for him, and for our name...

dola, one good challenge I'm in is one of the V8 single team. Yeah, I don't expect to win many, if any at all, but every little success means a great deal to me. That and there are three races out of 4 days and you keep on working on the setup over the three day events... Currently in 13th place out of 31, the highest of the three single team drivers...

Guys, to clarify this once for all: is the super-official FOFC IndyCar league the ID#15590??? Because I always get a "game full" message. Are there some spots available or not? I'd love to join.

yeah, it was. The series is over, is why you get a "no drives available" message.

One was replaced and apparently the other came back to life, it's all full for now. The guy who got to the Front Office Racing, Mark Thomas, is a really nice guy. He's my teammate in my BTCC production series and has helped understand many things, as well as help me be in 2nd place, within reaching distance of the Championship so far...

Yeah. For one of the races I didn't want to waste the soft tires, so instead of just switching to normal for one run I chose to do just the second run. So on the next race it was just one run and I didn't think to look at it and click the make this run button. Hence the non attempt to qualify.

The A1GP has grown old quick for me. Not too sure why. There are short races in both the BTCC and V8 series, yet I like these two much more. Even a V8 as a single driver team is more fun to me.

Speaking of series and all, would people be in for a fourth FOFC series or should we wait that the summer vacation period dies down? I was thinking maybe a BTCC single class (either touring OR production) that would allow up to 16 drivers in (or maybe more, would need to be tested). Would make for good competition, especially in the production series where most of the cars are similar with only some tiny differences between them...

Just thought I'd see how people feel about it...

My personal problem with A1GP is that it's just too random. Without the ability to select Thinker or Charisma, all it takes is one bad roll in practice, and you've basically screwed the next three days.

but still even with a V8, I have the feeling that much more interesting stuff can happen with the V8, even though I pretty much everyone of my three race event start for me with a couple strikes. The reverse grid events, the total mayhems and all, they make the V8's more fun than the A1GP, or at least that's my feeling...

I can think of several factors favoring the V8s over A1:
* Point structure keeps fights for places interesting over the entire field, whereas in A1, 11th is no different from 25th. I'm happy with a top 10 finish in V8s, but I don't like being lower than 6th in A1. (The A1 setup favors more aggressive driver settings, but the V8 setup produces a more interesting race.)

* Reverse grid races make it somewhat easier to score a good finish after an unlucky first round (although if you retire you're starting from the back).

* Longer races lead to more room for action.

I'm not sure if there are more passes in V8s than A1 or no.

From the department of LOL, in one of the academy games, a racer won the championship by default. Every single other driver was a midseason replacement or an opt-out.

He took it home with a total of 2 pts in a Toyota.

I can think of several factors favoring the V8s over A1:
* Point structure keeps fights for places interesting over the entire field, whereas in A1, 11th is no different from 25th. I'm happy with a top 10 finish in V8s, but I don't like being lower than 6th in A1. (The A1 setup favors more aggressive driver settings, but the V8 setup produces a more interesting race.)

* Reverse grid races make it somewhat easier to score a good finish after an unlucky first round (although if you retire you're starting from the back).

* Longer races lead to more room for action.

I'm not sure if there are more passes in V8s than A1 or no.

all very valid points and one more regarding the point structure is the penalty with not finishing a race. I'm sometimes very, very happy to limp to a 24th place out of 31, maybe even as I drop from say 10th place with 6 laps to go, because I know I will still get points. I that case, I still have an interest for the last 6 laps. That certainly wouldn't be the same in A1GP.

A cursory examination suggests that there's no more passing in V8 than A1. I agree with everything else though.

are there any versions that don't give an advantage to having teammates?

Well, there are no teams in the A1GP, but as we just said, it can be a bit frustrating.
