Don't know @dreadnaut, it has this ride though! Maybe something for the next season of ZakStunts?

I did google do the thinking for me and after typing Eternal Wa... the first recommendation was Eternal Wakestone.

Cool name, but never heard of it before. But apparently it's an item from the game Dragons Dogma 2 of which I have also never heard  .

On the matter of the LTB points in the Amateur league. I'm gonna be a bit cautious in my sayings since I'm a bit biased because of my current standing in set Amateur league. Also I was, of course, not involved in the decision making on this matter.

But I have to agree with Duplode on the matter that bonuses earned on the main scoreboard shouldn't count on the Amateur league table. It might be a different story if there was a separate leaderboard scoring mechanism for the amateur league.
But then again, I don't think it would do al that much for the amateur league. This year there was a battle for first place but if look back quickly at the last 5 seasons there was almost always one dominant pipsqueak who took most of, if not all, of the first places in the amateur league. So he will most likely also pick up the LTB points which will only make him more dominant.

Have to agree with the people above me. It was a very fun and challenging track with a lot of things to learn (having good teammates helped a lot with that!)

And as Spoonboy already mentioned the amount of detail that came into driving the lap as clean as possible was a really interesting experience (and frustrating at times, but heck that's what makes it so much more fun when you finally make something work  !)

Great find @alecu ! I never would found this old thread myself, but it was really cool to try!

Here's my contribution using the Lola Cosworth Indy. Maybe I'll try it with some of the other fast cars later.

And @alanrotoi , I'm definitely for the idea of having more of these fun little challenges.

Hi guys, I was asked by Alan to give my thoughts about this topic. So here it is.

I think it's a good idea to implement B-Teams (although academy teams sounds a little better if you ask me  ) in any shape or order.

Of course I only read this post so I don't know if this is already brought up, but isn't it possible to use the rating from the Folyami Project? So if you have a "team" of 6 people the four highest rated pipsqueaks of that team can score for the a-team and the other two score for the b-team.

I think it creates a pretty cool dynamic where both teams work together like one team. Hopefully (if I'm correct) it will make a natural flow between pipsqueaks that are new or inactive for a longer time and the better pipsqueaks over the run of a season. It also gives the newbies a chance to fight for a place in the main line-up (first four) and really good pipsqueaks that come back after a longer time of inactivity (and have lost rating points because of that) have an extra goal to get back into that main line-up.

Also the better pipsqueaks will be pushed to get even better if one of the b-team members threatens to take over their spot in the main line-up.

And last but not least, it might ensure the all a-teams preform at their best because the four best pipsqueaks (or most active) are competing every race. I guess this will even out the playing field more between the teams.

The teams that don't have a b-team won't feel any negative side effect of this idea because they will drive with the main line-up anyway.

I hope I explained what I mean well enough. Of course I don't know if it's even possible taking in the current rulebook. And I also don't know if it is talked about before. But it seems like a cool idea to me.

Ps. It's really cool that the word race(rs) is automatically changed into pipsqueaks  !
