LFF1 – Live For Formula 1


Hello racers,

You all know the idea ”F1” in lfs, but have any of them been a real succes?
Not really.
So my idea was the have a F1 league that is 100% the same as real.
That WILL be a succes.

- 10 teams 20 drivers
- 19 Races
- Full race weekend (Friday practise session your own choise to join)
- 300 KM Race distance
- Soft and Hard tires
- Live Qual and Race coverage
- Team boss to kick drivers doing a bad job
- Sponsors
- Test drivers
- Q1-Q2-Q3 rule
- Tire Rule

Basicly 100% as F1. But I know what you are thinking, ”this has been done, same as all other leagues” Yes, but none been a good succes!
If the is a good showup from everyone interested. It will be a succes.
If you are running a team you need to find your 2 best drivers you have.
Make them signed up for this league.
I need alot of support

- Servers
- Broadcasting
- Race admins
- Safetycar
- Commentators

All this business.

IF you are interested in giving me support in this, please let me know.
The idea is to have the 20 Best and fastest drivers.


If i can get he support i need we will gett he league up and running early 2010!
Ill write the rules as soon as people show some positve helping


Thanks,

AroX

Ask Mazar, I heard he could be of help.

- Team boss to kick drivers doing a bad job

lol :biggrinfl

That seems good in theory but it will need a lot of organization.
If you could reunite the best drivers possible, it would be great.
If you want to make it the most realistic possible, maybe you have to disallow TC.

[aroX123]

maybe you have to disallow TC.
That was the idea too, the team have to work out a set how to survive "no tc"

:trampolin
:rofl:

I'll see what I can get out of NDR for this :)

[Mysho]

General idea is of course nice, but I think effort needed to make it like you want will be bigger than you expect right now, but if there's enough support from all sides, why not. :)

[aroX123]

but if there's enough support from all sides, why not. :)
Thats what would be great!

[RasmusL]

Does it have to be the best? Perhaps you need to somehow make teams qualify instead of individual drivers ;) The thing is, 'teams' in LFS is only drivers - in real life, teams are about a lot more than drivers. This does not exist in LFS.

I'd love this idea Arox, Team Rock Racing would love to be present in the league.
I won't be driving though :)
Let me try and arrange drivers ::nod:

[BlakjeKaas]

You should also have managers of some sort.
So that the managers can sign drivers.
And there should be a difference in performance of the cars per team.
some cars a bit heavier, some cars a bit less power.

[rockclan]

Hey Arox,

Team Rock Racing would like to provide the server for this league :thumbsup:!
As long as the qually's on Saturdays are NEVER in the evening, we can provide you our server for free. (this will be name changed ofcourse).
Our practise/championship (my own team's) is on Saturday from 19:30 to 20:30 GMT+1.

[GreyBull [CHA]]

No, Arox. This is never going to work.

First of all, this idea was suggested quite a lot of times since the release of the BF1(http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=59528, cba to search for more).

Second point, you're asking for help before even trying to set-up something on your own with some foes, and trust me, it really shows that you do not have enough ressources to set up something. I've been racing in litterally tens of leagues, been adminning in two(three soon) and had the opportunity to know quite a lot of them from streams, forums and so on, and so far I never saw something good from someone already struggling at the very early stages of his plans. So, now, I cannot imagine what will happen now seeing that your project is at least as ambitious that the IGTC, MoE, iTCC or whatever is.

Thrid point, OWRL F1 is doing a very strong job, they have been having high-quality racing and decent grids with the BF1 for over 3 years now, with F1ish rules(although there's no SC, no broadcast and this kind of things, but I belive they have some plans about this), so trying to interfer with their business while you have had absolutely no experience in league adminning in your life is rather silly IMO.

Enough said from my side... have a good day:thumbsup:

[zeugnimod]

;1320426']No, Arox. This is never going to work.

+1

It's nice that you show initiative and want to do something "new" but there is way too much work involved in this. IMO.

[Buzzn]

......


If you are innterested in any help just give me a pm ;) i got some stuff left from my try to get a league like this up and running:thumb:

Im willing to help to get a league like this up and running ;)

[RasmusL]

I agree, it's not nice to be pessimistic but it will not work - in your planning, I can also see things that simply will not work. Team bosses who can fire drivers? No way, LFS is all about drivers.. :shrug:

[Ivo Georgiev]

Is there a car that can resemble GP2 in LFS S1/S2? If there is, you should make a feeder series league, too.

[aroX123]

Indeed, but that would be crazy hard work to do

[libben]

For pulling this of, you would need a new site. Maybe a subdomain at lfs like f1.lfs.net

And build a manager site for the teams, so that everyone has a team place. Then "sell" the spots for the teams. little fee ofcourse just for the symbolism of acting proffesional and so on.


Once when the teams are up and running, and all teams have filled their drivers positions, after tests and lap times hunting, and qualifications ofcourse. Then the fun could begin.


If u really wanna do it good, do it proper! And this would be somewhat the right way.

Just what i want to do :)

aroX, check your pm box :smileypul

[NSX_FReeDoM]

I would love to see this to work, but the reality is it is gonna take a LOT of work.

[petercollins]

I'll be a team boss please

[speedykev]

ban traction control on the BF1 and I would love to be a driver for one of the teams. :thumbsup:
good luck with this. :nod:

[Jordan2007]

Meh, Team boss of Force India would be FTW.

Arox, You might aswell just Give £30 Million to Mclaren for a drive in their team.
Would be less fuss than doing a league on here.

...and of course you would be Bernie Ecclestone, right ? :razz:

Your enthousiam is nice, but i fear the reason it hasn't 'worked out' before
is not because you didn't do it. Give other people credit.
Anyways, good luck. :shrug:

No... :rolleyes:
Dekojester is more like a "Bernie" type :razz:

Thanks man, help me alot with positive answers and comments :thumbsup:

[el pibe]

Good luck with that arox! i would race if i had a decent pc and a wheel

Some people can really get out of bed on the wrong side!

So you want to create a league that uses the F1 car, why would that be so difficult? there are hundreds of leagues the only difference here is the choice of car.

Make it, get it all running and THEN see if it's a success. Do you think Bernie or any other self made billionaire in the world didn't meet this kind of criticism??

You do not need to have a fully fledged copy of FIA F1 by 2010, all you need is the working foundations on which to build. If theres one truth in life it is that people can always be influenced when they think the grass is greener on the other side. It doesn't matter if there are a million people on OWRL not only do they have free choice to leave but there are many other equally skilled people out there.

The problem you have is the ternacity to get involved and beaver away until it's done. If somethings hard then it's worth fighting for!

I also think you should allocate grid slots to team bosses who then have the power to pick and choose their drivers and race engineers and if they choose test drivers to help with their sets.

[Jordan2007]

Anyone thinking that they can persuade bernie to play LFS and help us :thumbsup:

GL Arox, This better be broadcasted.

[FaToS]

I would join the league if the racing times are in the evening. And I am willing to help where I can.

This should be your example but will be out of reach at this time :thumb:

That was already tried to be copied into LFS and ended up imploding. :really:
