Well i think its a bit slefish making a league for only americans So anybody intrested in doing a League Of The Europeans, i've always wanted to race in LOTA but im not yank enough. Thought this might be a good idea, having the same combos as the LOTA races and maybe the top 10 from each league advance to a final showdown sort of like the ryder cup.
I think LOTA is one of the best league organizers in LFS as will as some others, I participated in some leagues they organized, I was driving and racing with them while my family sleeping, cuz race time was -5 GMT while in Egypt it was 5 am, but really was enjoyable, and I will participate again soon with them if they still accept entries from other continents.
Wish you all the best with your idea, I will be there if it is cool and accept entries from africa
Ah, just assumed with the name and all the american teams and drivers entering it was amreican countries only, still i think this would be a good idea, and have one big finale with the best from europe and america
For those that don't know who or what LOTA is, allow me to enlighten you!
The League of the Americas was started to provide quality league racing for the Americas (North, Central, and South America)...i.e. the Western Hemisphere. Almost all of the LFS leagues either run on the weekends mid-day, or run in the middle of the week at times Western Hemisphere drivers cannot make. With the NAL closing, we knew we needed a league we could race in that was convenient to our available race times.
Initially, we started out open to Western Hemisphere drivers, mainly because of our traditional race time (Thursdays at 9:30 PM EST, GMT-5) . However, as the league grew, we felt it was time to open the league to the whole LFS community. Following the announcement about the BF1 Sprint Series and the StreetStock Cup that started in November, LOTA has been open to the international community for all of it's racing.
We've completed 8 different premier championship seasons so far, including:
Formula V8 Challenge - qual-sprint-feature events for the FO8, two 8-race seasons
Formula XR Challenge - qual-sprint-feature events for the FOX, one 8-race season
MRT Custom Course Cup- One season of ten, 3-sprint events (reverse grids) on custom made courses at the Autocross arena with a custom pit procedure.
Grand Touring Cup (GTC) - One season of 8 qual-race events, feature the GTRs, and championship leveling weight ballasts. Individual and squad titles.
GTC Sportsman Series - Based on the GTC, this was an 8-event series featuring the GTRs, but this was hardcore racing...no ballasts, no required pits. Individual and squad titles.
GTC Club Series - Based on the GTC, this was an 8-event series featuring the GTRs, but this was more club style, with IRB (intake restrictions & ballast) to even the field from race to race. Individual and squad titles.
Monday Night Random Combo Cup - One 8-event series with random road cars (XFG, XRG, XRT, RB4, MRT, etc) on random tracks. One of the drivers was selected to chose a number corresponding to a pre-set list. Practice session, qual session, race session. Individual title only.
In addition, we've completed 5 different mini-championship seasons so far, including:
RallyCross Championship- 4-event series in the RB4 on rally tracks in LFS. Qual sessions, 45 minute races w/ 2 pitstops. Individual and squad titles.
MicroGTR Shootout- 4-event series in the XFR & UFR on mid-sized tracks. Qual sessions, 45 minute race sessions w/ mandatory pits. Individual and squad titles.
StreetStock Cup - 4-event series on Mondays in the XFG/XRG cars, with random track selection. Qual sessions & 45 minute race sessions. Individual title only.
BF1 Sprint Series - 4-event series for harcore BF1 racing. Qual sessions, 45 minute race sessions w/o pits. Individual title only.
We are currently completing our latest two mini-series, the AutoX Skill Challenge (4 different cars on custom made autocross tracks), and Luigi's UF1 Pizza Delivery Tournament (45 minute races in the UF1 that rewards for extra pit stops).
We are also putting the final touches on our next premier series, which will be in the FO8s in a GP1/GP2 format.
The League of the Americas has been running races for 1-1/2 years, completing nearly 90 league races so far. We are well supported by CoRe Racing and S3R Racing in terms of server support (up to 4 LFS servers and one 24-slot Vent server) and a group of dedicated admins. Nolan Scott's BigTime Productions does all of our video coverage for series previews and reviews. We have an automated Racing League Manager (RLM) that streamlines series registration, race protests, and results/stats/standings display to assist you in getting all the information you need to race with us. This is a very well organized league that is open to everyone.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Banshee run your next series on a Friday or Saturday evening. I really enjoyed the race and atmosphere at the Christmas event I did, but it was 3.00am and I can't do that and go to work the next day.
