Numbers will be given out later.

Quote from Gil07 :

Hmm, last question, I promise. What about drivers that were on race rosters for MoE/IGTC races but didn't drive any laps?

If they have not raced in IGTC or MoE then they can participate in GTAL. But they can't participate in MoE or IGTC then.

About

Hello fellow endurance racers!

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)


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

The ones in the 1st post are last years userbars ...

They have not made the new ones yet. You should read the thread before posting .


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

As far as i know, 1 car / team. I don't think that there will be enough spaces for 2 per team anyway. We will organize test-race before the start of league and i believe that 29 places will be filled quickly.

I hope that Trekkefahrer or GabbO will comment and explain this thing more detailed .


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

And You even didn't invite EER as compagnons

Any news on userbars ?


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Yes, as GabbO said, it will be soon published. At the moment we are waiting for Victor to create sub-forum for the league, after that more information will be posted.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Hello !

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.

Hello !

I'm requesting sub-forum for upcoming league.

Info

Website is made by Trekkefahrer, logo, car templates and numberplate by Kirill.D.

Rules : http://gtal.lightning-racing.de/rules.htm
Schedule : http://gtal.lightning-racing.de/schedule.htm

Numberplate : http://www.lfsestonia.net/gtal/Numberplate.png

Organizers

2) Gabbo (Head admin)
3) Kirill.D (Head admin)
4) Mojo1987 (Moderator)

Intro

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.


Best Regards, Kirill.D

Added 8th point to regulations.

8. You must race with same car as You drove in qualification !


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Sorry for doublepost.

Added Estonian qualification info .

LT and LV communities, contact me when You have decided qual date.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Thanks andRo. for answering the questions .

About the qualification i'll add this thing, that it depends when will Lithuanian Community organize the qual. I haven't got any information from LT or LV Community about qual dates and times, so You just have to keep an eye on the thread.

I have discussed about qualification in Estonian Community and Estonian qual will be probably on 28th february or 1st march.

But like andRo. said, You should read the first post more carefully, there You will find answers to the most of You're questions.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

I made last year couple of driving school skins (one of the best in Estonia) i can share them if You want, would be nice addition to You're layout .

*These skins were one of my first ones, whe i started skinning 1.5 years ago, so sorry about n00bness .

If You want, You can add them to 1st post.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Hey !

In this thread You can post reviews of the league / rounds , it was PioneerLv 's idea, so he could get more information for LFS News articles.

Just when You're posting something write what round are You commenting.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Yes, i took it more as a test race. There was too many infractions in this race, including talking during the race, cutting pit lines etc ... if we give 1 penalty, then we should give penalties to all. That means we need to recheck whole replay and every driver separatly. I think that You realize how much time it would take.

Next race there will be admin and the rules will be more strict.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.

Hey !

I have discussed with my assistant Kristjan.J and we are thinking that Estonian qualification will be probably on 28th feb. or 1st march.

Latvian and Lithuanian communties, discuss qual. date and inform me when You have decided. Our qual will be most likely 18-19 or 21-22.

You can do at the same day as we, just earlyer or later.


Best Regards, Kirill.D.
