First off thanks to Spanner and all the others you've put themselves out there and planned the events we've had
@SRW: So far I've started all but one of the AC races and these are all hosted on our rented server (note donations are required again
), there is no need for anything extra at home. To organise a series of events you 'just' need to pick a track and the cars you want to run on it. Dave will give you access to the LM2 management system so you can publish the event, link it to the calendar and create the race topic. You need to decide race length, AC runs races to a number of laps not by time so you need to know a representative laptime to get that. For any addon content used you must provide links to that, we must only use legal content so no dodgy track conversions e.g. that don't have permissions from previous authors or are converted from another game.
It all sounds simple but time pressures have meant people not posting race lengths, not being able test their car/track ideas etc. It also seems to be a bit of a thankless task at the moment, you put yourself out there and no matter what you do people will criticise you, moan and generally be unhappy
(And yes I've just become a moaner to, of the moaners not of the organisers
)
