Community Racing Series(CRS) - voting results

Hermann95 · Post by **Hermann95** » 24 Feb 2014, 14:06

Hey,
after the shut down of the great Formula Community project at the start of 2014, team owner Herbert Loyer is trying to start a new project with many similarities to the former series. The first season will start in 2015, in order to have enough time to sort everything out. Loyer invested 1m$ in order to have a (hopefully) good start with this series. He will sell 50% of the series to the joining teams, but he won't have the oportunity to vote.

Sign up process:
Every team will have a starting budget of 500k$ and which could be invested in shares. You will have to spend your money wisely in order to be able to run the full season with your money. You will have to buy shares, cars, pay your drivers and the travelling costs from that money. The more you invest in shares, the more voting power you will gain.

Basically the start will be the complete same thing as it was with Formula Comunity but be warned: I'll run a strike based system. If you fail to vote 2 times in a row or 3 times during the planning stage your team will be out!

Nice to see enries coming along. I'll let the sign up open for another one or two days.
By now you can already start thinking about where the series should be based:
North America
South America
Africa
Asia
Australia
Europe

There is no voting at the moment, but as stated, you can discuss the pro and cons if you wish.

go_Rubens · Post by **go_Rubens** » 25 Feb 2014, 16:35

Since there are a lot of teams from both Europe and North America, I think it would be a pro to base the series in either of these continents.

UncreativeUsername37 · Post by **UncreativeUsername37** » 25 Feb 2014, 16:58

The market for a series like this will be Europe. Europe is where the most cool tracks are. A lot of the teams are European. So that's Outterridge's opinion.

CaptainGetz12 · Post by **CaptainGetz12** » 25 Feb 2014, 17:11

We are leaning towards North America or Europe again.

We would prefer to lean towards North America for a change of scenery and to let the Aussies and South Americans be a bit closer and cut down on travel costs, but we'd take Europe just fine.

Wallio · Post by **Wallio** » 25 Feb 2014, 18:21

In order for this series to take off in the USA, a major car market, the series must be run in North America. You can easily create a 24-race calendar with no repeats over here. Plus Europe has so many series there, we will be swallowed up.

... you can easily create a 24-race calendar with no repeats in Europe as well...

Besides, if we are centered in North America, we will have to go up against NASCAR. No thanks.

As opposed to F1, FR3.5 WTCC, Eurocar, WRC, GP2, GP3, F3, etc in Europe? USA has NASCAR and that's it.

You also have Indycar, ALMS/Rolex to deal with.

And if we're counting smaller subseries we also have to deal with the NASCAR's Nationwide and Truck series, and Indylights, KONI challenge and Formula Mazda to a lesser extent.

North America is certainly not dry of motorsport leagues, but the lack of much representation of North America in many European series leaves us room to capitalize on bringing such locales to European and Oceanian interests.

How about 12 races in North America and 12 races in Europe?

Are you trying to bankrupt the series? :lol:

The best bet would be to base the series in Europe, with one or two races in an another market - either America or Asia.

Out of character for a second, this is sadly truly. IndyCar (aside from the 500) gets NO media coverage, and the USCS is so shaky one of the best DP teams folded after 1 race. As long as you stay off ovals and run nothing on Memorial Day weekend, I firmly believe a series would thrive here. I'm a huge Indy and Rolex fan but they ain't nothing. Beck I run NHRi. And I can tell you it is a mere splash over here.

Why is Asia not being considered? There are plenty of sheiks just dying to give us their money for us to run a race on their track in their backyard...

HawkAussie · Post by **HawkAussie** » 26 Feb 2014, 05:03

I wonder why Africa is not being considered

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 26 Feb 2014, 08:29

As far as JLD are concerned, we believe Asia is a potential goldmine, as there hasn't been a true pan-Asia series until now in such a large market that is still growing. However, because of a dearth of Racing Engineering expertise in Asia, we believe that it should be combined with Australasia as well in order to access those resources.

Do they have 24 race circuits and are willing to pay travel fees?

Peteroli34 · Post by **Peteroli34** » 26 Feb 2014, 13:25

Asia would work for the championship there is no shortage of money especially in the middle east and their are hardly any high profile championship based in mainland. The only real place that talented drivers from Asia who are looking to progress to higher levels, can race without heading to Europe or America is either Australia or Japan. So a high profile championship in Asia could work.

People have been saying that the championship should be in Europe but others a re saying that its an overcrowded market but what if the championship was held predominately in Eastern Europe. Several high profile championship do visit eastern Europe. F1 goes to Hungary the WTCC goes to Hungary and Slovakia. several other championship also visit. The majority of European championships are set in Western Europe so if we race in Europe why not Eastern Europe.

I can only think of 2 fun tracks to drive on in Africa and one of them is a street track, the other is Kyalami.

Or maybe a "Eurasia" based series?
FYI, that's east Europe, Middle East and west Asia.

If the series is based in Europe, we can still have rounds in asia or the middle east.(Obviously it's the same the other way round)
