Well probably that was a lie to.
It's pretty much simple; They start the year with a pretty cool concept, with a show every friday before a race which was fun. Then they decided it was fun to show, in a show which has only 6-7 viewers, commercials in the show. Not only does it annoy the hell out of everyone watching, you only earn like 15 cent with it.
Then we come to the following; The results were barely in time, and most likely had huge mistakes in it, that is something I can look past by.
Oh yeah and then we come to this; It was actually ran like it was some sort of multinational company, which it obviously was not. At this point pretty much no one put any effort anymore in updating their cars, which I can understand. On the other hand, because of that, it gave me the feeling the crew just let FSketch rot.
Then they came introducing a lot of things, things anyone could see would never work, they sounded cool, but on execution it would never work.
After this everyone just let it rot and rot more, and pretty much no one was left.
Out of that, there were a lot of lies, and from my pov the teams were taken for granted and were giving the middle finger most of the time. Lies were there about CFD, how cars were rated etc. etc. These were things that no one would mind about if it wasnt true and they just took a view of the car and gave it a rating on that, to me that wouldnt matter at all.
After that it went further downhill and further downhill, until out of a sudden it was closed down(last weekend).
While I must confess I am a bit angry about it all I had a fun few months competing with the guys in FSketch, it was fun to develop the car and watching my team come out fastest where it started out 5th fastest.
I hope the FSketch team takes this as criticism and hope they revive the concept soon, but then properly organised. I am confident that 90% of the entrys would continue their effort if the FSketch does too, that means that the results would be there between like 2-3PM, were correct and everyone was honest with each other and put their effort in it.
I can certainly understand that the crew was busy sometimes, but that is what proper planning is for, so that everyone knows what he/she can expect. And also when those expectation couldnt be met that it was informed in time.
The setup of FSketch is really fun and if they make a restart again I would sure join again, and then hope it is properly executed
