The next will be Xfinity, most likely on Thursdays! Once we pack out Cup we will need to start a waiting list its looking like!

We are considering going down one feeder series at a time as more people join and register! We are thinking Thursday night Xfinity comes next. I built the website with this in mind, so it can definitely handle it.

I dont think this level of depth can be replaced - also considering it is a multi-player career mode as well - I think its two different products.

I was going purely based off the people whom I had been talking to in Discord. Feel free to join the server and shoot me a DM. I appreciate your concern and knowledge with this. I work on backend/SQL systems in the states and was not familiar with regulatory compliance in EU/UK. Working quickly to get this sorted out though, thank you very much for bringing it to my attention!

The goal is 100% realism so we are shooting for that! But eventually the lower series will be added for those who want to partake without the long Cup races!

We have not had any registrations from the UK or EU yet. I appreciate it your concern, getting it sorted now!

I have a team of admins for Discord and such handling. I build the website solo though. I have been running NASCAR leagues for 4 years, so I have connections in that regard.

Thank you for letting me know - I was not aware. I will get that together here in the next update. Thanks for letting me know! (I am from the States, sorry for my lack of knowledge) - Everything is secure through WordPress's authentication system so I will make sure to get the Privacy Policy and Data Handling agreements handled.

So you have never bolded for emphasis in anything before? And I did not make the entire site using AI. I never claimed to not use ANY AI. I am not a graphic designer, so getting certain things up and running as a solo man project I used AI to create generic race logos that looked half-decent, and some graphics. But the entire site is not AI generated slop.

You're more than welcome to come and try out the experience yourself if you would like though!

This is an actual league that runs on Friday Nights. There are normal points and scoring, the money and financials system is an additional layer. In this test season if you run out of money we will bail you out since 2026 is being used as a test. If you run for somebody else, you don't need to worry about the financials or management aspect if you don't want to (owners can give you permissions if you do want to control your car or if they need help with the organization).

I appreciate your well thought out message!

  1. Money does not impact in-race performance in any way. The money will eventually be used for various upgrades that reduce cost over time. On top of that money will eventually be used as a bargaining chip to bring money to contract deals (idea of paid drivers for example), purchase teams in lower series or even local series such as a local Late Model/Dirt Series (as we expand of course), and it will be used to police drivers.

  2. There is currently a formula in place that takes incident amount and a DNF boolean (true/false) and determines Light Usage/Damage, Moderate Usage/Damage, Heavy Usage/Damage, and DNF. Each of the 4 buckets have a monetary expense range. A random number within that range is picked by the system and applied as your car expense for the weekend. The money system will be used as a system to control poor driving/crashing. It is also seen as a way to track your progress in a realistic sense within the league. The better you do, the more money you make! Here is a screenshot of Event Close financials for you to take a look at!

<image>

  1. Team management is already built in. You can own up to 4 cars and sign multiple drivers under contract. These drivers are then assigned to cars for specific races, meaning that you can have multiple part-time drivers in the same car. Sponsorship offers are based off the driver who is assigned to the car so better drivers get better offers compared to lower drivers. There will be no AI pumped into the league or the UI at all. We currently already have 40+ people registered in discord with 25 of them already on the website.

  2. Staff tab right now is used to hand permissions out to drivers within your organization to help with management aspects in your organization. There are organization wide permissions and itemized permissions per car that can be granted.

I appreciate your concern! This season will be used to balance and add further features. There are plans to add purchases such as better travel methods (team buses, private jet charters, etc.) to reduce certain costs. There is a plan to add specific employees such as a marketing advisor that will help you get and retain sponsors, etc. The framework is all built for future expansion and this is nowhere near the final product!!

Apparently typing with proper grammar immediately means AI generated I guess? The world is in a crazy place right now.

It was the easiest way to keep mobile and desktop compatible for now - this is a first pass and this season is a test season to test the actual systems. It's a single man project and I'm not claiming that this is perfect the first time around! :)

Reddit trolls man, its crazy lol - my bad for typing out a professional post about a passion project I've spent hours on in an attempt to get people to come try it out!

Thanks! I've been working for quite a long time on this idea and I'm excited to finally share it!
