Re: How do you run your championship?

Alongside WRL, I run my own series at home called the AMA (Amateur Motorsports Association) which works very similarly to the WRL. It has a few more championships and covers all six major continents with championships like F1, Le Mans, BTCC, DTM, V8 Supercars, Formula Nippon, the works!! The only difference between WRL and AMA is that I get to race the cars myself rather than letting the AI do all the work!!!

Only the WRL runs to calendar time!

The others I just race whenever I have time, which will be limited now that my music is a registered business, and with my new XBOX things might be a little more interesting!!

I used to create leagues for pretty much every racing game I owned, then about six years ago I stumbled upon grandprix2.de, fell in love all over again and the rest is history.

I run F1 differently these days and incorporate some ideas from the WRL and become a bit retro using F2.

F1 consists of 20 teams, 6 of which have guaranteed places on the F1 starting grid determined by their status, championship success and history. The six teams I have chosen are:

Ferrari
McLaren
Red Bull
Williams
Brawn
Renault

The other 14 teams are all existing between 2006-2011, and all compete for 5 places on the F1 grid:

Sauber
Lotus
Toro Rosso
Force India
Mercedes
Virgin
HRT
USF1 (I decided to include them)
Toyota
BMW
Honda
Super Aguri
Spyker
Midland

For the remaining three places on the grid, I bring in Formula 2.

Formula 2 consists of 26 teams from 1990-2005 that no longer exist, split into two qualifying races. The top 7 teams from each race go through to the official F2 race. The top three teams in this final race get the final 3 places in F1. This gives those old names a new airing as well as F2 being given the same importance as it was in the 60s and 70s.

Also at each race, two local teams enter at F2 level: the 14th team in each qualifying race. Two drivers are pro or celebrity from that country in one team and the other is filled by two rookies.

And that's how I run F1 and F2. All the other championships I run are straightforward, choosing only the best teams in each category with the best liveries, combining different years and carsets.

Yes, I know I'm a nerd.
