How Did F1PS3League Start?
In May 2011 I (LindenWarden/Admin) was racing in many leagues. RacingLine, RedLineRacing flatoutracing to name a few and the reason I joined them was to race with clean, courtesey and respect. I was sick and tired of getting into a room and them waiting for the idiot to start the race with assists only to find some other * or even the normal spanish * was just ramming everybody off.
"I Nearly ditched the game all together just because of it"

Then after racing online with the likes of Tardis, Demon, Penguin, Wooton, fidla, Cookster, Benjarnie Etc. I joined the Leagues, it was great to race for 45 minutes with no intent to collide or hinder. Brilliant! I joined the RacingLine GP2 League as the F1 League was full and to be honest, I wasn't as fast as them guys/gals. I was under the impression that winning the GP2 League would promote you to the F1 League which was an awesome idea. I found that this wasn't the case. Long story but Inter-League fighting was going on. I was thinking to myself, how do you get into the F1 League? In fact why hasn't a League System been built like that with promotions and demotions, I'd checked out ARL and RD etc and to be honest they, to me, were even bigger bandits then an open room lol.

Off I went on a mission to build something up and show a few racing buddies how I think it should go. It started Sim League 1 & Assist League 1 with Promotions & Demotions between the leagues. I offered this to Racingline and Flatoutracing trying to get them leagues all together in one place. Them Leagues unfortunately just didn't see what I'd seen or didn't like me lol. Still unsure lol.

After the * taking and ribbing I had off a few buddies, It just made even more determined to show them. Aaarrrrgghh" lol

I looked at recruitment, I'm gunna need some sound minded MODS to run there own leagues. ThaCookster was very interested along with BK_1975, Stopper19, THE_MASK and STEFF-SCOTTISH. So I set up just 2 leagues for ASSISTS and NO ASSISTS. This was September 2011.

Look where we are now, 6 Leagues in total with the intent at the end of every season for 3 racers to go down a League and 3 to go up a League.

It has grown a lot since then with 6 Leagues having there own Forums and Drivers.
(update sept 2012 14 leagues)

We have Learned a lot since we started and We now have.
1 - An Induction Course to filter out the Bandits and Teach the drivers what we expect from them and how to Gain there License before they are allowed to apply for a seat in any league.
2 - a Full FiA, 16 of us meet up on Mondays to discuss incidents and changes and rules etc..
3 - 2 FiA members sit in on all Races and one films the other is a LIVE IN RACE STEWARD.

Its surprised me at how it has grown so quick, 6 leagues in 6 months with an average of 2 Members a day joining the community.

We have a Website a LOGO a Forum and also a Donation Kitty for Prizes.
We have had Knock out cup championship with more to follow and we also are in talks with sponsorships so its all looking good..

See I told you It would work ;-)
