That I'm proposing comes partly from these discussions and also partly from my own thoughts. The general consensus seems to be that the S2 league is the mainstay of the AB leagues. For me the format as it stands has work pretty well. I think the numbers joining the races at the start of last season show this, although it was sad to see those numbers dwindle slightly over the season. I think this might be due to the 3 week gap between each S2 race. It's hard to keep the interest and momentum going when there is such a big gap till the next race. So......in order to keep the momentum going I think we should only ever have 2 leagues going at any one time. The Lemans league is pretty good as it stands and I think works pretty well spread out over the year as it is. The weeks in between can all be used for the same league....S2L for example. This would mean we could have 2 or 3 S2L races on consecutive weeks and hopefully keep the interest going. Obviously this means that we would complete the S2L faster. We could then run a short league...FOR, FZ5 Cup, Slow League, etc.....whatever ideas we come up with. Once this finishes....run another S2L season....and so on.... The possible schedule could look like this.... 05/09/10 FOR – Season 3 round 9 FO8@KY3 12/09/10 LeMans GTR@SO4R 19/09/10 S2L – Season 7 round 10 FOX@AS3 26/09/10 FOR – Season 3 round 10BF1@AS6 this is the end of the current S2 and FOR Leagues 03/10/10 LeMans GTR@BL1R 10/10/10 S2L – Season 8 round 1 UF1@AS1R 17/10/10 S2L – Season 8 round 2 XFR+UFR@BL1R 24/10/10 LeMans GTR@FE4R 31/10/10 S2L – Season 8 round 3 FBM@FE2 07/11/10 S2L – Season 8 round 4 FXO@SO5R 14/11/10 LeMans GTR@AS7 21/11/10 S2L – Season 8 round 5 XFR+UFR@WE1 28/11/10 S2L – Season 8 round 6 F08@KY1 05/12/10 LeMans GTR@TBA 12/12/10 S2L – Season 8 round 7 GTR@AS3 19/12/10 S2L – Season 8 round 8 FOX@AS7 Xmas Break 02/01/11 S2L – Season 8 round 9 FZ5+RAC@FE3 09/01/11 S2L – Season 8 round 10 XFG+XRG@S04 16/01/11 LeMans – New Season 23/01/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 30/01/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 06/02/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 13/02/11 LeMans – New Season 20/02/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 27/02/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 06/03/11 FZ5 Cup Season 2 13/03/11 LeMans – New Season 20/03/11 S2L – Season 9 round 1 27/03/11 S2L – Season 9 round 2 03/04/11 S2L – Season 9 round 3 10/04/11 S2L – Season 9 round 4 17/04/11 LeMans – New Season 24/04/11 S2L – Season 9 round 5 01/05/11 S2L – Season 9 round 6 08/05/11 S2L – Season 9 round 7 15/05/11 S2L – Season 9 round 8 22/05/11 LeMans – New Season 29/05/11 S2L – Season 9 round 9 05/06/11 S2L – Season 9 round 10 12/06/11 Slow League Season 2 19/06/11 Slow League Season 2 26/06/11 LeMans – New Season 03/07/11 Slow League Season 2 10/07/11 Slow League Season 2 17/07/11 Slow League Season 2 24/07/11 Slow League Season 2 The Slow league or FZ5 Cup could be replaced with a short FOR league to give the single seater junkies a bit of a fix . This proposal is more about the overall setup of the AB leagues and less about the combo for each week, although I did try to use the combo ideas for S2L that other guys have suggested in this thread. I also tried to start with easier combos and progress to more difficult combos as the season progresses.This was not my idea, I stole it from a suggestion in another thread (might have been wadallats idea), but I thought it was a good suggestion.I have added an oval race......please feel free to drop this. The oval is definitely not my favourite track, I noted that I was not alone in this thought  .This is up for comments, criticism, whatever Let me know what you think. Weefelly.

Maybe we could extend the slow league a bit to cover the whole holiday-time? In NL the holidays end at the beginning of september. So maybe 2 or 3 racenights extra?? | ||

I think that when something works needs to be improved but not changed, then S2L is a league that works well is demonstrated by the fact that we are always plenty of racers, so we can improve but not change!!!!This is my opinion I think Luca is right on this one. | ||

If I speak for myself, I don't have the time to test drive and tweak a race setup and/or a qualify setup. I struggle already to learn how to drive the car/track combo, especially when there are races every week. Therefore I think it would be nice to build some sort of database for each event where everyone can post his setup and the PB/TB time he got with it together with his controller configuration. I know there are already two sites that do this but they don't have setups for each combination and sometimes I have serious doubts about the reported times. Of course a setup is dependent on your driving style but I think it would help a lot of us here. PS: I posted this here because I think it should be included into next season, at least for S2L. | ||

It's really fun to see Kajaus up in the air  or me and Starbert causing the accident in the first chicane (both incidents in the FE2 XFG race).And regarding the next races I posted some remarks, I would like more GT cars and two UF1 and XFG races. In the end I will race no mater what.So bring it on But I would like to see more "race in pictures" | ||

I'm glad to see that people like this kind of "race report". I can imagine that it's time consuming. I also wanted to do some short movies of the races, like Gutholz and Mazda did, but in the end because of not having time, I decided that I'm gonna do one for the whole season But I still didn't start it So whenever somebody has time to make this kind of reports, they are really welcomed | ||
