After 500 there was whole night to analyze what should be improved/changed. Here's my small thoughts:
Firstly, I wanna notice I respect your work and not gonna blame you for current situation. SCARTS is amazing league with nice people directing. I'm sure you know there's a big
problem with SCARTS now - start of this season clearly showed all weaknesses. Without any quick decision pack will be smaller and smaller. Even experienced drivers can finally lose their patient (as Lanz).
Maybe I'm not best person for advising anything (guys who racing in F1SL
know what I'm talking about
) but this topic should be a place to make a discussion between
drivers like me and admins about what must be improved.
Here's the list of most important things to change:
1) Stop delaying races. Waiting more than one hour for the start isn't good. People see that and will give up easily, because it's more waiting than driving.
I know it is mostly fault of drivers who are late. But the solution is really obvious here - follow the schedule. We can wait 5-10 minutes but not more than 1 hour. If you can't be on time for race and you didn't ask admins to postpone the race few days before the race, you can't require waiting for you.
I know, it can be harsh for some guys who aren't able to be on time due to various circumstances. But, hey, Internet is nearly everywhere nowadays, it isn't that hard to inform anybody about absence. If you can't do that, don't expect anybody will wait for you - simple.
2) Update the site
Season started but some informations still missing. For example, where is schedule for RS and FTC, where's clear info about days of races? There's no discussion on the forum only some Skype/MSN conversations about it. Imagine what newbie thinks when he wants to start racing in SCARTS but can't find most important info on the forum.
I know, everybody has private life and can be very busy but there are 4 (correct me if I'm wrong) admins and I'm sure it's not that hard to divide some work between them.
3) Rules
Thing which makes SCARTS different. Unfortunately, specific rules make newbies confused. I remember my debut last year - understanding rules took me few races.
The rules ought to be clear and as easy as possible to understand. As Burnout said during offseason, making video/screenshots with most common situations in the race will be better than plain text (which isn't updated since 2 years).
If you decide to make SS, I can help you. Just let me know then
I'm not gonna write here much about interpretation of rules - it's always controversial and makes sb "unhappy". It isn't that bad now but I eel you should sometimes be less tolerant and don't be afraid of penalise people after the race if needed.
Okey, so for this moment it's all. Sorry for any grammar mistakes but hope text is clear enough even with them.
