Useless? Some of us simmers *enjoy* a career mode. Problem is, that feature
hasn't been included in very many mainstream sims...

Any tips? As I've said before, I'm sure you and Neil have a great time running
F1C. I wish more could share that experience. It's a cool game, but the
majority of us can't keep up with you two. I usually end up running this one
against the AI - at least I can seel *see* them after the first laps.<g>

Hey! Even I ran close with DGF for a dozen laps or so at Barcelona, so
just about everyone should be able to do it! ;-)

Actually, I wonder how many other RAS'ers share the same experience,
i.e. being part of a racing league for a longer period than a single
season. If you'd care to share your experiences, I'd be happy to read
them.

If you ever read my race reports, you'd know I have been in career mode
all my simming life. As the only Factory sponsored MOPAR driver in any
league for years...it was a lonely time. Fortunately when Nickle & Dimeler
Benz came along, I was able to subcontract out and get work test flying the
Eurofighter. I have had crewmembers mysteriously disappear and Aussie
reporters vanish. The Team Helicopter was a Military refurbished AH 64
Apache...not great for corporate entertaining...but it had it's uses.
My first year in the TPTCC league...I set a record for the least amount
of wheels still on the car at the finish. Team Crew members included such
folks as Shinji MyKarnogo who started out as the left front tire changer
and rose over the years to Crew Chief...Before he too disappeared while
showing a potential sponsor the Team Helicopter at one of the annual
Bullrun 1000 races held in Colorado..
Career mode? Who needs it....:)

Sounds like you're *** equipment(and crew members)<g>
Well, I guess I'm one of the few here who would still enjoy a career mode in
racing games. But remember, we're a small subset of people who play the games
in the first place. I'd guess that the vast majority never even ventures
online. So, they would tend to want more stand-alone features like a career
mode...

Offline ICR league run by Dave Kadlcak - Pro95, Pro96
GPL Cooper league also run by DK - two seasons, I think
That league turned into COBRHA(COoper, BRm, HondA) and ran for a few seasons
until Dave got married...<g>
Screamers GPL league - started as a server provider, got an invite into the
league, ran for 3 or 4 seasons until I went back to school. Was never able to
score a win like I did in my other leagues... :-(
IICC GPL - I've run with them for maybe 3 seasons, and the start of a TPTCC
season.
Masters of GPL - again started as a serverdude, and got an invite from a team
owner.
RASCAR - not sure if that counts as a 'league' in this discussion...
I've been in other groups/clubs, but none that I can recall stretching over
seasons
