I want to keep the F1VWC GP4 league alive as I believe that there are still people who want to race with GP4 and we can make the league back up to ?good old days? when everything was running smooth and on time.

To do this we have to have more active team managers and working admin team. In the previous years I had much more time on my hands to do the updates and spend 2-3 hrs a day for the league. Now my life has changed in last 12months so much with my own company and getting engaged and so on. Simply I just can't spend those 2-3 hours a day for the league.

Willy and others can to big rescue mid season to help out with everyday running of the website and finally we had some action on the Government Body as well. What we need for 2008 is more tools for lap checkers and admins to update the F1VWC site. That is not a problem as I've already said many times earlier that I will provide such tools for admin team members and I have several tools already done for my own use which I can then further develop for all admin team members to use.

We will need a person who is in charge for Financials. Andy Graydon resigned from Government Body and Admin role 25/11 but after I told to him my ideas and plans for 2008 he will revoke his resignation and wants to be Financials manager.

I spoke with Ted Cragg on Monday for about 4.5 hours and mostly we talked about the future of F1VWC and we both believe we can get it working and get back to its ?good old days?.

One thing is we need to be more in control is Contracts and to stop the silly driver/team swapping and limit the driver changes in somehow. Of course team will need new drivers during season when people will have their holidays or other reason they maybe can't drive all 16-18 races, that's normal and acceptable, but constant team changes must stop.
We need a contracts manager and I heard from Tedd that David Brown would be interested of that.

We need more and better working system for physics and car development. That is one thing what makes F1VWC such interesting league.

When we have Financials, Contracts and Physics under control we can focus on lap checking which have been working well with this years members, maybe sometimes results should be out quicker, but when we get the whole system working much smoother I'm sure also the lap checking gets done more quickly.

Team managers and drivers have to be active as well with their reports and PR's. Ted already was thinking of getting the Magazine back and making more interviews and analysis to get the media side alive again. We were also thinking to get the post qual and post race press conferences back. And when every manager and driver really wants to get F1VWC back to its glory we will get all this working. But it needs everybody's effort and work.

I'm happy with ideas of online rFactor F1VWC league and about the new site. But as long as I'm going to be chief admin I need and have to have full access to the site and its systems. That is one thing why I want to keep the league alive is to work with the website as its good practice for me for my job. I love to make website and then make it even better and better with new systems and the fact is it helps on my job as well.

I'm also happy to help out as much as needed for rFactor league, but my suggestion is that we keep the current F1VWC site for GP4 league as we have all results from 2002
