would be awesome since the nationscup stopped after one season
How about seperating the western and eastern hemispheres for scheduling purposes, and then having a couple of final rounds at the end of the season comprising of the top half from each hemisphere?
Edit: Actually, there are only about 10 countries in the western hemisphere, so that wouldn't really work

.It could only be you Arrow 
It would be great to see the sequel from nations cup.
I would like to give 2 minor suggestions:
1 - I think the name for the competition is inappropriate, teams battle ok, but i think nations compete more then they battle.
You could always use the same title from the previous series, there is no rights on that i think, its your call anyway, this is just my opinion.
2 - Allow for as many subscriptions as possible, after that sort the system.
I ask for this because there could be more then 16 countries for sure, and considering that, leaving anyone out, would be completely wrong and against community spirit.
Projecting a championship involving countries is by far more different then your great BOTT. And i think you should look at it like the LFS Olympics
Where every country strong or weaker would be able to participate and gain from the experience.
That's it, good luck is this great project

I think the best thing to do is automatically sign up the top 10 countries (Where did the chart go which used to be on lfsworld?)
with S2 then let the rest sign up.
There are a number of things need to be discussed.
- Start time: most importantly finding the perfect time for all around the world which isnt easy.
- Lag/Servers: I was thinking either have the servers hosted in America/Canada as it is central between Australia and Europe or either rotate server location each round. Europe, America, Australia.
- Round Car/Track Combo: I was thinking of using 8 on the Main Hotlap Rank combos so teams can particpate in the "Main Hotlap Nations Rank" if they wish.
Example
UF1 - AS cadet
XFR - SO town
XRT - BL gp
LX6 - FE black rev
FO8 - WE interntl
MRT - FE gold
FXR - historic
FZR - KY gp long
- Method of Racing: Similar to BOTT 20mins Qualifying, roughly 50lap race or sprint races.

Sounds like a nice idea, shame I am nowhere near good enough to represent England...........I am half Welsh though.........
Everybody's suddenly half Welsh when they don't make the England team.
but it's true I tells ya
hahaha
I wish Aussies or vice versa didn't have to be alienated with such an idea, it's a real shame... because say if Germany vs Australia was in the semi-finals (and I am sure it would be), you wouldn't want some laggy racing.
That is one of the reasons Nationscup never hit it's mark; also because of timezone issues, which impacts race days immensely.
I've actually always wanted to see an A1GP style league, where ALL 30+ countries race at once, with the FO8's only (and full skinpack), since it is a very balanced car, and good with racing. Though, if you wanted, I guess you could choose different cartypes for each race, so that drivers from each country could get a chance (because there may be one fast driver in open wheelers, and one fast in FWD).
Still, timezones and times for races are the biggest issue, and there is no real way around that, other than hoping your country can stay up REALLY late/early on a weekend. This cannot always be the case, even for a country's fastest driver(s), so some countries would have to make ends meet just by filling in the blanks for time issues. That's not the way it should be.
That said, yeah you could split up different hemispheres in the first half of the season, but then that doesn't leave a fair elimination when the two hemispheres meet. They'd need to be racing against each other from the day it starts, until they are out. So I think you should stick to only a few continents unfortuneately.
.
Europe being the most dominant, Aussies would surely need to be the ones driving late
But then that just brings up yet another obvious issue....

Why not use LFS Tracker upto 24 hrs before the race to choose the respective drivers from each country for each round with the second fastest driver from each country as the reserve.
Also you could have a rule that a driver can only race in one round to give other competitors a chance of taking part, otherwise it may just turn out to be a championship for hotlappers only.
The chosen driver would also have to submit a replay of their fastest lap so cheating would not be a problem.
Just a couple of ideas.
PS : I'm the only Welshman in the village

Thanks Tweak, Timezones are a really big issue with events like these, even with BOTT.
Anywhere i can find the most LFS users per country?

That's pretty much your full/active grid of countries right there ^
ok thanks Dan,
Germany
United Kingdom
United States of America
France
Australia
Finland

Spain
Netherlands

Ahhh, can we not have Wales, Scotland, Ireland, N. Ireland & England as seperate nations??
@ Celtic100, don't worry m8, your not the only Welshman in the Village
@ Celtic100, don't worry m8, your not the only Welshman in the Village
YES I AM !!!!!!!
The others are just Sheep
:sheep:If i cant make the irish team, i will try for the welsh
Isnt that would United Kingdom is
If United Kingdom consists of Scotland, Ireland, N. Ireland & England.
What is Great Britain
Great Britain is also the United Kingdom and England 
I think Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England should be seperate teams as most Scots and Welsh are like "Bahhh the English" Excuse the pun Welshies

So bavaria should have their own team, too
The biggest problem apart from timezone is: who decides who drives for each country? I would go with Celtic100
Best would be to have a tracker and the fastest x drivers of each country on the upcoming combo should be allowed to race for their country. They would need to confirm their entry before the round, if they dont do it the next on the list has their spot. You would need at least 2 confirmation dates though.
But then you have the problem that you only choose by fast laps and not race-pace
. So you will never find a perfect system. Is not as easy as with BOTT where a TEAM nominates the drivers. If you would make a team manager for a country, who decides who the team manager, you would always have some sympathism and antipatism between certain teams and drivers, a random person doesnt know all fast drivers in his country and so on. If the team manager looses interest in the league the probability that the whole team(nation) wont participate in a certain round is higher, whereas there war e drivers from the country who would like to participate.
I was thinking of getting subsection here on lfs forum for each entered country from there they can organize whos racing, team leader ect.
Hi
Sorry Arrow but there's no logic here ... doing it by percentage.
Maybe you could follow Nesrulz link to the old nc forum, although it isn't going to help unless you contact Nikimere, who was the nc admin.
Well my point is that if you're going to choose 10 countries, maybe you could go for the 10 finalists from the previous tournament?
For instance neither Belgium or Portugal is shown in your list, but both countries were in the final 10, and i might be forgetting some fellas.
What about the name? Should we start the fight for borders now? Is a rise of arms needed? Can't we just compete instead of battling?
Intéh
why no divisions for the races.. groups? like in the Football World Cup?... it would be more fair, and by that all the countries that want to participate would race
