    Please note: Track versions and links are provided for information and are correct at the time of publication. However, changes may occur if improved versions are released. The actual track versions will be confirmed in the race announcement.

    Please note: the 'other' weekends between championship events above, we will most likely run the same format as the following official event. So you would get an extra week of practise and we will run the format on clubs and Sunday's.
    Unless an admin feels up to it (usually based in member feedback as well) and decides to run another mod for fun, it will still be on the same track prior to the official TWF1 event the following week.


    Scoring System
    Drivers only score championship points after completing 50% of the race distance.. They score in order of thier quoted position as reported by the main servers results. Championship points will be scored in the following sequence: 40-34-30-28-26-25-24-23-22-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 There will be no additional bonus points. The best 9 Results scored over the season to count for each driver.

    In the event of a draw at the end of the season, the winner will be the one with the most wins. If this still results in a draw the the most 2nd places, 3rd places etc... This will include dropped rounds if necessary.

    Please Read Our Rules: http://legends-league.com/twfr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=804&Itemid=609

    David,
    While you're waiting for your League Registration 'paperwork' to be completed, I've gone ahead and added your name to the Legends League TWF1 Spring 2015 Championship sign up list, to reserve you a spot.

    There are only 9 spaces left for this championship. 23 allocated grid slots already. If you are hesitant about joining then please join in tonight at Imola to see what we're all about.
    If you want to sign up for the championship please hurry though. With spaces rapidly being taken you may find yourself too late.

    Thank you to those who joined our pre season warmup races. As a league we learnt a lot and was happy to see packed out grids at every race.

    Legends-League now looks forward to the start of the championship. :D

    We now have upgraded the grid to allow 34 drivers. However that is already maxed out and anyone wishing to join will be put on the reserve list. We have 3 on the reserve list.

    37 drivers, not bad eh.... ;)

    Not at all. We have chosen tracks to cater for that grid size. We have thought about every aspect of this championship trust me. :eek:

    Brazil we saw 29 drivers and we could have easily of had another 5 on the grid. Brazil was the shortest track on our calendar too.

    :p

    Round 2 was a great race. 26 drivers and very few retirements. Great battles all around :)
    Slight problems with the build but that is something we are working towards solving as soon as possible.

    Round 3 Monza 15th March !!

    So as our championship has sky-rocketed and Legends League gaining huge amounts of interest both on and off the sever with members joining up, I thought a little bit about wh exactly we are would be a nice addition to this thread. ;)

    In a nutshell:

    The Legends League is a community of dedicated simracers. Most of our members are GPL-veterans, a mix of slow and fast, making it a good place for beginners and experienced racers alike. The current sims of choice are rFactor1 and rFactor2. We race every Sunday at 19:00GMT.

    We take our racing seriously, but in a friendly and sportsmanlike spirit. Legends members come from all over the world - from Russia to the USA, from Sweden to Thailand and Australia.

    We race using our real names. Setups are freely shared and members help each other become better racers. That’s the spirit of the Legends League.

    Since 1993:

    The Legends League may well be the oldest active simracing league in the world. Its origins lie in the SPRTSMS forum of Compuserve, when a group of racing enthusiasts founded F1SA (Formula 1 Simulators Association) - to keep their messages apart from the golf simmers!

    That was in 1993, when HTML, email and the world wide web were largely unknown. We raced F1GP (known as World Circuit in the USA and Canada) and GP2 by Microprose, and Indycar Racing 2 by Papyrus. Mostly with keyboard or joystick, wheels and pedals being rare in those days. Consequently very few people managed to race without driving aids, those that did were called Water Walkers. And oh yes, the racing was done offline exclusively. Multiplayer didn’t exist. It was basically a hot lapping competition, as well as full length off-line racing against the AI and then comparing authenticated race times to decide the league's human (and alien even then!) winners.

    Grand Prix Legends:

    All that changed on October 9, 1998, when simracing took a giant leap: Papyrus introduced Grand Prix Legends. This sim featured a sophisticated physics model and, even more important, multiplayer racing over the internet.

    In 1999, one of its beta-testers and distinguished member of F1SA, Joachim Trensz, ported the whole community to e-Goups (now Yahoo groups) and re-baptized it to Legends League. We no longer use GPL, but the name will remain. It doesn’t reflect the quality of our driving but our origins.

    Here's an early website that we used circa 1999. See what we looked like when in our online infancy and before we had quite so many grey hairs (or for some of us - when we had hair!).

    rFactor:

    Grand Prix Legends was succeeded, after a few years of low league activity, by the Trans-Am mod for Papyrus’ Nascar Racing 2003. The physics and the racing were good, but the tin-topped cars didn’t spark much enthusiasm. After a brief spell of frantic racing the league turned dormant once again.

    In September 2005, ISI [Image Space Inc.] sent a wake-up call: rFactor turned out to be another step up in realism. When the F3 Euroseries mod was added, we were wide awake. These were easily the best simulated open wheelers we had ever driven! The Legends Trans World Formula 3 championship (or TWF3) was organized. When the GP79 mod for rFactor came out, the Trans World Formula 1 championship (or TWF1) was added. Since then numerous rfactor championships have been organised with different mods along side the main GP79 series. Off season, Special and Annual events are on the calendar every season as well.

    iRacing:

    2012: Unfortunately the iRacing venture has not been succesfull despite numerous efforts* by admins and members. We had to close the iRacing department and for now its future remains uncertain in legends.

    * The main reason we where unable to implement iRacing into to our League was due to iRacing's own format. For drivers out there it was no longer needed to join a league because iRacing took care of the bulk and we simply could not get enough drivers to commit to our own events.

    rFactor 2:

    In 2012, ISI released it's followup sim to the very successful rFactor, rFactor2. With a more sophisticated graphics and physics engine it takes the basic format and style of rFactor and pushes the limites once again. Beginning in 2014, Legends started it's first full time rFactor2 series after months of testing.

    Current administration:

    Legends League consists of all it's members, and is owned by all it's members. Legends League members are generally prepared to contribute their knowledge and time, and is managed on a purely volunteer basis. Legends League is currently managed with the help of:

    Bret Metcalf - Managing Director & RD
    John Wallace - Membership & General admin
    Rouke vd Hoek - Webmaster & RD
    Ray Walton - Financial Director
    Rik Walker - Tech & General Admin
    Chief Steward position is currently vacant
    Rick Stratton - General Admin
    Steve Combey - General Admin & RD
    Grant Riddall - Communications and PR
    Ralph Maiph - Graphic Artist
    Joachim Trensz is still a member, of course, but has retired as a director and alien...

    Why Sunday night racing?

    All championship races last around 60 minutes and are all held on Sundays at 19:00GMT. At Legends we found this to be the ideal time slot finding people in both Europe and North and South America simultaneously available for racing. Every other night will simply yield lower numbers of drivers, including Saturdays when many people have social obligations.

    Now you know why things are as they are.
