What's the plan for those not in North America/Europe/Australia? Should we enter those closest to our timezone rather than create a Rest of the World team?

btw, I kinda want my club to be called Shifts and Giggles

Count me in.

Eastern US (New York)

Team name might need some work however (taking CannonO's lead here). Alternate thoughts:

Premiere Drivers Association
Tame Racing Drivers (Some say...)
East Coast Premiere
Atlantic Drivers Association

Edit: Apparently I'm in a creative mood today.

Upper Echelon Racing
High Speed, Low Drag
United Racers Association
 
Ahoy there DC-GAF, would love to join your lovely club.

Wavering Radiant

Worthy Edge, We'll take US Central Division A 4 please. Final club name to come. Also, can I get the link to the leader sheet so I can add the gang?

And come on one more person to the Central club! Unlike other clubs, you can have input into the name!

I want to know this too. There is no Middle East/Asia team but I missed the original sign up so don't know if I should start one...?

Id run a club, but it must be made up of people who have played racing games forever..but still suck sometimes..but sometimes catch lightning in a bottle and are just plain old fast as heck.

Team name - Almost 40 but Fast

it will be a half serious attempt at world domination..and it may just work..sometimes.

I would have been with you if I had not created a club already.
See you later for "Almost 50 but still kicking butts" or "Almost 60 and not dead yet" ;)

Yes, I'm old too.

Can you believe the first game I've paid with my own money was that
fucking unplayable shit (probably coming straight out from the bloody hell) that pretended to be a
racer named Hard Drivin'?
Times have changed, and I won't really complain.
DriveClub seems to be the racer I've always dreamt of... <3

Still haven't sorted out your place in the Official spreadsheet with TheWorthyEdge? Also, gotta figure out in which region/division Racers Sans Frontieres will end up (I'm fine with any, since I'll probably be playing the game during all times of the day).

Well, I've given him the hard facts already, right?
He doesn't seem to care updating the mother sheet accordingly, and I couldn't care less because anyone can see I'm right.
So, unless he explicitly tells me that he doesn't want to see me here and to get the fuck out, I consider I'm in.

And to be honest, I think the way things are managed here leaves much to be desired.
Mainly because lots of people are already left out in the cold, and lots more will be once the game is out just because they were not part of the happy few actively looking up for the game n weeks before its coming out.

Don't get me wrong, I really love the idea of having some competition between clubs made of GAF members.
But I also don't like seeing some kinds of 'ghettos' setting up, just because of arbitrary limits and reasons.

Why not just offer GAF members to meet here, build their team on whatever criteria they like, and join the competition?
And only then, depending on how many teams have been formed for a season, build leagues and divisions.

I guess some would say it's too complicated making people from different time zones meet, and that's why you need to do some grouping by region, but then... just look at how GAF members from US/EU/AU have been playing FM5 together almost every week since its release. Or ask yourself how leading team from one region will be supposed to meet the leading team from another region...

Just thinking out loud, but I believe there are better ways to set this whole thing up.

I plan on playing the heck out of this and would love to join fellow gaffers in a club!
 
Ha! I like this. Simple and straight to the point!
My vote for our club goes to "Die Mannschaft".
Die Bart, die!
Weren't we asked to have the club title start with GAF to show some "presence" (I really hope I didn't mix the thread now)?

from all suggestions up until now, my vote would go to "Die Mannschaft" too, but let me put my 2 cents in:

  • AutoBahn
  • VorsprungDurchSpeeeed
    (I think the USA is the only country who gets a "translated" version, all other countries should know "Vorsprung durch Technik as the Audi slogan)
  • GAFfahrVerein

We have extra people, so we'll make a second Club too. I'll take the suggestion from Icefire and use "East Coast Premiere". The remaining people, I'll get a second list started. Thank you Icefire & Cannon for the name suggestions!

Drop the e from the end of Premiere. Premier means the pinnacle or best flagship, Premiere means debut or beginning. We want Premier if we're a club.

Lovely.
I'd still take ATLANTIC PREMIER or just PREMIER as the club name if we're not final yet.

Oooh, that sounds like fun too. Already in the US Central club but the thought of an older club is awesome.

Old Gaf, represent! Turning 41 in two weeks. *sigh*

Love racing games. Great to get in that zen mode, just turning laps striving for that perfect line. Depends on the game, but it's very relaxing to crack a beer and enjoy slipping in that zen state after a long day and the kid's in bed.
Other times it's sweating palms just trying to hold the lead.

Just love it though.

This one is going to be a boatload of fun though, I can already tell it'll be a staple of mine for a while.

Die GAF-Mannschaft? But that doesn't have the right ring to it.
