Going to share my thoughts on this since it's buzzing through VRR like crazy. Someone on PSN asked me "How many are you expecting for Formula Cup?" This is a racking question, but I expect 4 to show up every week. I would like to have at least 11 so there's nice battles for points, but I do question a lot of people and if it isn't the racing that's the problem, it's the lack of motivation. Of the 16 we have signed up, either already in a team or looking, a good chunk of those are the kind of people that only race when they think they can win. A lot of people, and this is the unfortunate truth, have no interest in learning or developing commitment, or learning patience. We have a series of drivers that shoot to kill even when it isn't possible. This series was conceived as a place where those drivers could learn these things and fine tune driving skills. This series has four consistently fast drivers in it. The aim is to get people in and develop them to where st the end of the season, we have 6-8 battling for the podium. Unlike with VRR, we have the blessing of no competition on our side. We aren't conflicting with other series, we aren't overlapping real life events (at least not very often), and we have people that can accept being slow an still race because they love being a part of it. HRL has that and I'm proud of it. There may be some that are in it for the championship, but there's an equal number that are fine with just learning and getting better. That is what will make this series work. I don't care for fast people, I want clean drivers that want to learn and want to make a series good for it's style of racing. If I can get 11 of those type of people every race here, that is a massive victory that would solidify what this series is supposed to be. I will share who I expect or know for a fact will be there week in and week out.

For those that are not on that list, you are more than capable of proving me wrong, and there isn't a whole bunch of reasons to miss asides from being afraid of losing once and a while. Once again, 11's the goal, but I'll work with what's given and go from there.
CTCS is the Cappuccino Touring Car Series, a semi spec series I'm running in the Formula Cup's timeslot until summer.
