1st ever PS4 Community Race Livestreamed at January 18th Canada (Sign-up and Interest Thread)

[alex1994128 17]

Hello guys !

As we had a great community race now i think we shoould set up a community race on PS4 because most of the big youtubers are playing on XBOX and with the poor Sales of the XB1 i think that as for now the PS4 community is much bigger, though a little bit seperated, because unlike xbox the fast PS4 drivers are seperated much more between leagues, communities and countries.

Therefore i'd like to ask if we could work together to set up a PS4 community race so all the youtubers league racrs and avid community memebers get together and get involved and most importantly get the attention they deserve

As far as i know Alex Zafro and Aarava have a PS4, but  as all the other known community memebers are PC or XBOX based i hope we can set sth. up ourselves to give the PS4 community a voice :D

My Idea might be that we do here a sign up and then we could come together promote the race and bring PS4 on the Map of the F1 community

I might go ahead and the sign up templapte might look like this

Pretty sure Tiametmarduk has it on PS4 as well!

Would definitely be interested in this myself so I can actually show my skill (or lack of).

[alex1994128 17]

Maybe it would be good to collect the ppl interested and then see how we move on from here, because all the attention to xbox is not really fair, as PS4 has defo a much bigger player base that finally wants to get actively involved

I start  things off

PSN: alex1994128
Community involvement :  I was one of the 300 Beta testers and i race in the top division of AOR PS4
Why i should take part on this: simply because i want to set it up and also because it's time for PS4 to hit ground

[IJS84 2]

More a watcher than a creator, but its something I'd love to get involved in anyway I can. Feel I want to get more involved in the PS4 community

Why I should take Part:Small F1 Youtuber and Loves Racing also need some practice on my new wheel after using a pad the Last 4 games lol

[MilosMiki 0]

I'd more say our platform is being left behind, since all the stuff with big F1 youtubers revolves around Xbox still and on occasion PC but apart from Aarav streaming open lobbies 2-3 months ago (I was in these myself), nothing has been happening on PS4 so far.

PSN: RBOS_00
Involvement: well I've been racing in the top split of AOR on the PS4 side since midway through S11. I also take care of the official highlights videos for AOR PS4.
Why I should take part: to have some fun mostly, and because I want to get PS4 off the ground.

This is literally just going to be an AOR social

at least something :smile:

but tbh i'd like to really have at least one driver from leagues like PSGL,SRL (many also AOR drivers) F1 Italian, Racestars.nl, RaceDepartment and the maybe youtubers like aarav,nino or you ali ^^ 

[7thGearRL 0]

PSN: BigC_019

Community involvement: F1 2016 Beta Tester, AOR PS4 Tier 1 Driver, PlayStation GL's most successful driver with six titles in their top F1 league.

Why i should take part on this: F1 league racing has been part of my life for like six years so would be cool to do something like this.

Also, as the racing line would be allowed (it better be), it would let me battle the likes of Alex for a change

Community involvement :  Currently racing in tier 1 AOR ps4 league and have a YouTube channel F1clarky deticated to f1 gameplay which is now up to 232 subscribers.
Why i should take part on this: I love being involved with f1 on ps4 and want it to get as much attention as possible, we have great, clean drivers here with great entertaining races.

[seajamiet12 0]

PSN: seajamit
Community involvement : SRL (srlgaming.com) League Co-Owner along with others who help me out :)
Why i should take part on this: I've been a part of the F1 community since the beginning of 2014, joining my first and to this date my only real league (SRL). I also do YouTube occasionally, can live stream and now help run the SRL League and web develop the league website. I've been in league racing for the 4 seasons that SRL has existed over the course of 3 years.

EDIT:

Just to add here, if I'm not able to race in this for whatever reason, I'm up for live streaming / commentating as well

[GRDemoN 0]

PSN: GR-DemoN 
Community involvement: SRL Co-Owner and Driver, AOR F1 Driver (Also DiRT league Co-ordinator and Driver if that counts for this)
Why should I take part in this: I'm very passionate about the F1 game, and have been playing the codemasters games right from the start, and impressively even the non codemasters games in 05/06. Being 18 that's not too bad going! I've been very active in the community since 2014, and of you visit the AOR forum at any point you'll more than likely see me amongst the most active posters that day. I'd even lay off the patch abuse on twitter because I'm guessing that there's probably a very good reason why you aren't making one codies xD
In SRL I've ran 3 seasons, 2 mostly individually on F1 2010. Now I've managed to integrate the communities I'm involved in together somewhat and have become a key arguing member of the PS4 part of the community when we need to put Xbox back in their place :dizzy:

[alex1994128 17]

glad to see so many of my AOR compatriots supporting my idea, i really hope that drivers from other leagues/communities get involved Aswell,as imo the Ps4 side is way to seperated imo  

[BloomieJP30 0]

This is a cool idea, just needs one for Xbox as well at some point, otherwise we've been left out. :)

[AORPerez 0]

PSN: swamkan
Community involvement :  I'm one of the biggest watchers in the community and pretty much participate in every PS4 stream possible (aarava, alezZafro) and since 2013. Also race AOR Rookie League and I think I helped to come up with the idea on the stream last night!
Why i should take part on this: simply because i have been in a lot ot the things PS4 side have done :)

[IJS84 2]

Well might as well update my info on here, but I think I'm against a lot more deserving people if the field gets full
Psn: ijsimo
Community involvement: Used to simrace on rFactor with SimHQ about 5 years ago. Got back involved watching F1 community videos with F1 2015
Why I should be in: Newcomer keen to get involved where I can. Miss the community aspect of SimHQ. So far made 2 F1 2016 videos, with a grand total of 7 views #bigtime

[jinCHEZ 0]

Hey, it's a nice idea and I might be interested for this, I'll sign up once I'm convinced :p Anyway, just a info question, how do you see going from this to an actual race exactly or did I miss something?

Also, shouldn't there be some kind of racing or lag restrictments?

i thought about being it more lighthearted , to get as many ppl from different leagues/communites involved as possible, all assists will be allowed and as i said i wanted to assess  primarily if there is interest involved.

Over twitter Alex Zafro told me that he'd be up to commentate it and if we get enough interest we could try to get aarav onboard aswell

Another idea that is worth noticing is that maybe after the season of most leagues is finished we could arrange a "best of all leagues" race, where the top 4 of the biggest 5/6 leagues are copeting against each other in one race, but this should be done with much more preperation, therefore i want to keep it lighthearted this time.

Once we get enough sign ups and interest i will start organising the actual race which should be done with AOR format + sim damage and the track should be decided via strawpoll.

[jinCHEZ 0]

Yeah sounds good, with racing restrictments I meant people driving others off the track, stuff like that :p

For the more "hardcore" side I also had something in mind but no time at the moment to make it work so yeah ^^

[inspiretheworld 0]

PSN NAME : inspiretheworld 

COMMUNITY INVOLVMENT : Former, original ARL ( now AOR ) driver for many seasons. Known then as TURBOF1. Also I'm small youtuber. 

WHY I SHOULD BE INVOLVED : I'm a Geordie. I'm not the fastest, but I just love racing. Keen youtuber. Over the top F1 fan. 

[Roimata 0]

PSN: Roimata_

Community involvement: racedepartment.com, racestars.nl

Why i should take part on this: just started F1 league racing and in the short time am enjoining it so much it's already been part of my life for every Tuesday and Wednesday, racing in 2 different leagues. Time is my biggest contender for being a good and decent driver, although i think my driving in TT for only racing active in F1 2016 is proving to be a good and decent driver in the future.

also been watching youtube for several hours at AOR F1 2016 PS4 and other F1 2016 league videos which i really like and learning from.
