As you may have already noticed, grid spots in the MoE and IGTC leagues are hard to come by and are generally taken by teams that have a lot of endurance experience. Therefore, we have decided to start a new league for endurance beginners, where less experienced teams can improve themselves. It will be called the Grand Touring Amateur League, or GTAL for short.
The GTAL will feature the same cars used in the MoE GT2 class, but with shorter races. In these races the teams can show their best in endurance racing in a competitive environment, and compare themselves to our guest starters from the above mentioned leagues.
A brief description of the GTAL:
- 4 races of 3 hours each, plus a 6-hour final event
- 30-minute hardcore qualification sessions
- 29 team slots (+ 1 Slot for guest starters from IGTC/MoE)
- GT2 intake-restriction settings from MoE
- Similar rules to IGTC/MoE
- Up to 4 drivers per team, per race (unlimited nominations)
Grand Touring Amateur League first season schedule is done !
GTAL Season 1:
Each round begins at 17.00 UTC (last round 14.00) with a 30 minutes qualification. After a 20 minutes break the grid ordering will be started. At 17.50 UTC (last round 14.50) the starting driver of each team must be present. At 18.00 UTC (last round 15.00) the race starts.
Schedule
4th April - 3h of Blackwood Grand Prix rev. (17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC)
9th May - 3h of Westhill International (17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC)
6th June - 3h of Fern Bay Black (17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC)
4th July - 3h of South City Long rev. (17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC)
8th August - 6h of Kyoto GP Long rev. (14:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC)
Here are GTAL Season 1 car templates which are mandatory to all teams. You must change the number (will be given after sign-up). Any kind of editing except changing numbers is forbidden.

Estonian Endurance Racers is happy to have a new member - Reno.K known as VTiRacing.
Reno is young but progressive driver, he has potential on FZR and XFR and that's what we're aiming for.
Reno is recruited as trainee and he will be racing soon in the new league GTAL (Grand Touring Amateur League) representing EER. After that we will decide will Reno be promoted to full member of the team or not.
Reno will be using our trainee tag, and he will be racing with #99 on his skin.
Grand Touring Amateur Legue aka. GTAL is being organized in first place so teams who are not racing or did not have chance to enter MoE or IGTC could test themselves out and race mini-endurance races.
Reason for request
Main reason for request is that possible participators could already get easily information about upcoming league. I want to say, that we are aware of the rule "League not running = no sub-forum" , but without separate sub-forum (promotion) it's hard to start this kind of thingy.
1st round will be in april, but in mid march there will be test-race. There are many teams that didn't get in IGTC or MoE so we think there will be enough participators.
GTAL is approved and being supported by DWB as IGTC feeder series.
Moderators for sub-forum
If it's possible, then please make Trekkefahrer, Gabbo, Kirill.D and Mojo1987 as moderators.
Pain-less, i agree with You on that. rF is really too kind of ... controlled. Car is hooked to tarmac and then You just enter the curve nothing happens, nothing happens, *BOOM*, slides away and that's it ...
I think that rF's handling on corners and ff is a bit lame. It doesn't give You the real feel. For example in LFS i know well, when my car is starting to slide. In rF i discover it only when i'm already somewhere on the roof ...
Indeed, i was pretty anti-rF myself, but when i discovered BMW E90 320si , and did a little skin for that, then mounted safety car lights with a bit modded textures and result is that : http://www.c4racing.net/Kirill/?dir=rf (look the pictures).
It's quite a fun doing chases on Nordschleife or Lienz where we have opened all roads. :P
Both skins Megane's and BMW's police is made by me =).
But i don't like rF's FF and overall i will still stick to LFS, rF is for fun , atleast for me.
I'm please to announce so called "new team" Estonian Endurance Racers.
It's actually former cRacing, but because leader of c4R thought that my way of doing this is not good, he decided to "kick" me. It was good, that me and some other teammates were already developing plan B in a form of EER.
Estonian Endurance Racers is a team that was announced first time somewhere in 2006, it was made for racing in MoE. Now 3 years later i and Egon (Egon-est) decided to restart the team. We asked permission from former owner of the team Priitmek and we got it.
Estonian Endurance Racers is inner-Estonian team, we decided to stay 1 country team only because it makes things easyer for us (communication, etc). EER is 2 things at a time, firstly we are team and secondly we are representing LFS Estonian Community. That is the reason why we decided to build our site in LFS Estonian Communitys page.
Our main perspective is endurance racing, that's why we are trying hard to get in to IGTC. Last years season of IGTC was not good at all for us (c4Racing) so this year we found couple of new drivers, we bought new PC's and wheels to avoid last years problems (bad internet, FPS lag, crappy wheels) and atm we are spending all the time we can for practice.

Skins
Skins were designed by me and Egon and after that made by me. We tried to keep skin clean, no excessive logos, stickers and all that stuff. It has 5 sponsor logos - 1x Gaming.ee (providing server) ; 2x Scavier ; 2x Bridgestone.
We'll, what do i have to say... actually nothing. Poke's move was completely silly and i don't see a point in that, because of that he endangered chances to get into IGTC and is ruining peoples reputation without any kind of reason.
Because me and Egon (Egon was until no still co-leader of c4Racing) knew that thing like this may happen, we already started working on plan B - Estonian Endurance Racers.
Now the team is registered and we have agreements of all c4R members to go over to EER (Estonian Endurance Racers). I've also talked with IGTC admin and we still have a right to participate in test-race.
Skins, logos etc. are all made by me, so as i'm "kicked" from the team, i'm using my author rights and forbidding to use them.
Conclusion : c4Racing is now 1 member team and i still don't understand why this thing was necessary.
Moderator : If possible please delete my 1st post or the whole thread, because i have no connections to team from now on what so ever.
PS :: Thank You for 2 persons who already tried to help me by offering a spot in some teams.
