i do agree with stevo!! it should just be one big table and two separate tables will be confusing and say a PL driver and a AL1 driver come together, it will mess them up

by **Aletdownofstate** Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:20 pm

I don't see why it's a problem, PL and AL1 have seperate tables already, it would just continue to be that way. And as for incidents they wouldn't be treated any different either, as how it effects peoples races are always taken into consideration.

I'll throw a poll up anyway.

Yeah i agree with marc it wont make a difference have some faith in your admin slads we are doing this for the better not for the worse

I don't think separate tables is a good idea. people will just get in the way, which is unfair if they aren't even competing with you. There will inevitably be incidents too, and no ones going to let someone past who is on the same lap as them just because they are in another league, because it could hurt their races.

by **RichyTheRacer** Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:28 pm

Although I'm completely for the leagues merging.

by **Aletdownofstate** Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:35 pm

Then what do you suggest?

If it isn't seperate tables then PL will be bringing their points with them, and have the opportunity to do the races they are missing (China, Spain & Monaco iirc) at the end of the season without the AL1 people, or at least without them scoring points if they take part, based on the fact that they've already scored there once.

I personally don't mind which it is, I'm just trying to come up with a solution that makes the most people happy.

by **Stevo_F1** Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:45 pm

I think we should all start on 0 points & effectively make the next race (Austria) the first race of the season & that would mean both AL1 & PL can race wheel2wheel as thats what the site is about & PL wouldn't need to have re-runs of China, Spain & Monaco respectably.

Ps. Whiteside you are not an Admin. Wink

by **RichyTheRacer** Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:17 pm

Why dont the PL guys join effectively as new members, meaning why don't they just start with 0 points when the merge happens, and AL1 stays the same.

by **Aletdownofstate** Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:29 pm

They've done the first couple of races of a season, they shouldn't have to lose those points.

I'm going to be putting it to a vote anyway.

EDIT

Poll is here

I might just be saying this to benifit myself but i do not want to start again on zero points as you all know if that happens i will get no points what so ever unless people disconnect.

The only suggestion i can see working the best is if PL come to AL1 and join the like of lotus sauber as they have no drivers but bring there points with them and if needed i will give up my spot for a PL Driver

If it does start again i will not be racing unless it 2014 performance as i find it hard enough to get points as it is . But if we do start again i will give my place up and just be the mod i want whatever is best for the league at this moment in time

by tallboy_rocks Sat Jan 17, 2015 1:03 am

I would have to agree that if you decide to run it as one league with one points table you would have to probably do it on 2014 performance. No offence to any of the AL1 guys but SpeedQueen would wipe the floor with you on equal.

by **ConnorH1996** Sat Jan 17, 2015 9:11 am

i think a few al1 guys will give speed queen a run for his money

by **RichyTheRacer** Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:15 am

I'm fine with anything now Aslong as the season isnt restarted. I don't want to have done 7 races for nothing.

by **madman_281** Sat Jan 17, 2015 11:17 am

i think we should at least have a test race to see who are quicketst, slowest etc and then determine whether 2014 performance should be used?

by **Aletdownofstate** Sat Jan 17, 2015 1:17 pm

We can run a test race next Wednesday instead of the race if people want, or on Monday if you would rather not lost Wednesday for it.
