How did you find the ORL?: I was participating in a DRL tournament on HaloTracks and I met xNJD1x. He showed me some cool tracks and told me that I should join the league, which I ended up doing as you can see.
Motivation for joining the ORL?: I joined the ORL to have some fun racing with some cool people on Halo 4. I enjoyed the tracks so I figured I would join!
What do you want to achieve in the ORL?: I would like to win some more championships while I'm still at it .
What games do you play?: I often play Halo 4, GTA V, NBA 2K13 and Battlefield 4.
What division(s) are you planning on doing this upcoming season?: I plan on racing in the Grand Prix division (Once again) because it's looking to be very stacked and I will have a lot of fun in this primary division. I'm also planning on doing the Rally Car series because I love terrain tracks and probably Rallycross to earn that title . I might also try some GTA V.
What's your favorite category of race maps on Halo 4?: My favorite category of race maps on Halo 4 would have to be terrain tracks or Grand Prix maps. That might have something to do with the fact that I'm good at them .
Do you have a favorite race map on Halo 4?: I think my favorite track would have to be Laguna Seca Raceway. I just love the flow and the speed of the track. It also helps that it has the best corkscrew on Halo 4. A close second is Rio Grande GP which has it all.
Is there anything you need help with in the ORL?: No, I'm pretty involved in the league. But I could always help you with questions.
Other: I'm from the Netherlands (Europe) but do not fear because I have advanced English knowledge and vocabulary . I love myself some competitive racing and I love basketball. My favorite NBA team is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Now it's your turn!

How did you find the ORL?:
I was looking for Halo Racing League videos on youtube, hoping to find something that interested me. I happened to find an ORL video, I think it was Season 3 International Division Race 3 on Ocean View when Stylisin was pretty much dominating....that was a long time ago.

Motivation for joining the ORL?:
I wanted to race competitively with other great drivers, and to enjoy myself every race I competed in.

What do you want to achieve in the ORL?:
I honestly want to win an offical division or championship, it's a long shot, especially against some of the best racers on Halo (gogeta being one of them) but as long as I enjoy myself trying to achieve this and feel satisfied, then I'll go out very happy.

What games do you play?:
At the moment I play. Halo 4, Gears of War 3, GTA V, F1 2012/2013, Forza 4 and Trials Evolution. I used to love playing classic PS1, PS2 and XBOX games like Spyro, Colin McRae Rally, Crash Bandicoot, Simpsons Hit and Run, Splinter Cell and Halo CE and 2.

What division(s) are you planning on doing this upcoming season?:
It's going to be GP. It sounds like it's going to be a stacked division, with gogeta already confirming he'll be racing GP. Winning a championship is looking very slim, but racing against such great drivers will be amazing, I'm looking forward to it.

What's your favorite category of race maps on Halo 4?:
Fast-flowing GP tracks, with elevation changes that require some skill and entertaining battles can be done on the track.

Do you have a favorite race map on Halo 4?:
Tough to say, but I really like Laguna Seca, Sunset Stadium, Wasteland and Moonanite.

Is there anything you need help with in the ORL?: Nope.

Good idea for a thread gogeta.

How did you find the ORL?: I happen be in a some custom game with friends, but don't exactly remember doing what. But I do remember meeting Mr. Stylisin, anyways I heard from him that he was doing a little contest so I simply decided "what the heck, lets go for it." He was having one of those elimination tournaments, and he paired me up with a opponent of his choosing. He happen to choose none other than the man himself, and this is how I met Darkstar o72. After I felt I didn't deserve the win in Stylisin's tournament, I respectfully gave the win to Darkstar when I did kinda kick his butt. But even we both knew that we were evenly matched in skill and driving, Darkstar knew that and had wanted me to move on up in the tournament. After hours upon hours of socializing, he told me that he owns a Racing League and Manages.
Motivation for joining the ORL?: After having a messy battle of trading paint in some ridiculous races with Darkstar, I had asked him if I could join the ORL. He told me that he'd be happy to me on the league, but he also told me that the league was in the middle of Season 2 with supercross. He asked If I wanted to wait for Season 3 or immediately jump in to the current Season 2. I had wanted to get in the middle of the action to get first hand, what it would feel like racing against other people; that want 1st just like everyone else. After I had a bit of a mishap on the track I choose to pull off the track and wait until the end of race. Darkstar told me of the consequences for doing such, and I had told him I was willing to accept them, dis-concerning my recent arrival to the ORL.
What do you want to achieve in the ORL?: I wanted to be the best racer in the ORL, and I was wanting to work towards that goal, and most of that goal was achieved, with meeting new people, and gaining new friends, and some new rivals on the track. I had also wanted to achieve by winning GP in Season 3, I didn't have much luck. When Season 4 and 5 came around I did my best to show up on time to the races. But had trouble keeping track of time back in Season 4. But I kicked up a notch and was doing pretty well in Season 5 I pretty much made all the races , but had missed the times for the Season 5 GP Championship. Unfortunatly that made me very depressed.
What games do you play?: I play "A LOT" of games majoring anywhere from MMORPG, to FPS, to 3rd PS, to PC related games, and a whole lot of racing games, or xbox arcade games, and or real arcade stall games. Like my personal favorite: "Hydro Thunder."
What division(s) are you planning on doing this upcoming season?: Mostly GP to be honest, but I don't know how the rules for GP are going to be set, since I stopped going to GP races in Season 6, because the rules became so confusing and made it hard for me play; besides my job working the night shift takes away from my sleep hours.
What's your favorite category of race maps on Halo 4?: Mostly Grand Prix.
Do you have a favorite race map on Halo 4?: Not that I know of off the top of my head, other than some of mine, some of XreignZ, some of Unreal, and some of Darkstar's.
Is there anything you need help with in the ORL?: Making sure I win at least one season in my division? (I know that won't happen.)

Other: If you wish to know more about me, don't be afraid to ask me either in party chat or in message. I am craving pie right now.

Thanks for asking the question by the way, makes me fool good about the thread . But to answer your question; there will be primary, secondary and tertiary divisions. It can also be called a series, i.e. the Primary Series, Grand Prix series.
The Primary divisions, as the name suggests, will be the most import divisions. These are where competitiveness is kicked up a notch and people care about what happens on the track. The Primary divisions will be Grand Prix, Motocross and Mixed Terrain. These names just mean what kind of track you'll be racing on.
The Secondary divisions will be (in most cases) less competitive than the primary divisions but will by no means mean nothing to people. Mayhem Wrecktacular is an all-on wreck fest where we race terrain tracks, collision courses and just cool whacky maps to have fun on. This is mostly fun and has basically no rules except for no cheating. The other two secondary series will be RallyCross (Similar to GP) and Rally Car which will be a rally series on terrain tracks.
The Tertiary divisions will be on games other than Halo 4. I.e. Halo: Reach, GTA V and Forza Motorsport 4.

I hope this explained your question .

How did you find the ORL?:

Here comes a story. So, in early 2012 I was always into racetracks so I watch alot of oBronco's reviews, alot of ProForgeRacing, alot of G0DS R3GR3T, etc. Anyways, I had saw a supercross racing league on Halo: Reach on the channel ForgePlaylist (this was Mr Stylisin's channel at the time). In the comment section, I had saw that Darkstar had posted a comment about the 2nd season of the ORL was going to start soon. Interested, I kept a close eye on the channel, watching all their previous races and thinking, "Man, they're really goo!" (at the time that is).

Motivation for joining the ORL?:

I never really had any motivation to go and sign up for the league when I first saw it. It wasn't
until Darkstar posted a video issuing a tournament "to fill the four open spots in divisions one and two." (At the time, divisions weren't differenced by the style of tracks used, just numbers. These divisions were under the term "Mixed Terrain). Anyways, once I saw the video, I knew that this was my time to shine and get into some competitive racing.

What do you want to achieve in the ORL?:

Take the Grand Prix championship over an ex-teammate. The reason is becasue we never have actually gotten the chance to race each other in Grand Prix racing as of yet and I believe this season is the perfect season to do so as the division has doubled the amount of competition in my opinion with all these new rookies and veterans.

What games do you play?:

I tend to play alot of Halo 4. However, I do play a bit of Halo: Reach still, along with PGR 4, WSOP, Trials HD, Trials Evolution, and a small amount of Minecraft if you get me in the mood for it.

What division(s) are you planning on doing this upcoming season?:

As stated above, I plan on doing the Grand Prix series. The reason being the there's old and new competition coming into play, along with the fact that some of these new Grand Prix tracks I have been seeing makes me want to do that division even more. For secondary divisions, it will really depend on what day they are on, and what time. If I do get a chance however ,I will most likely go with RallyCross along with trying the Rally Car division.

What's your favorite category of race maps on Halo 4?:

My favourite category of racetracks has to be Tournament Tracks, with it's sister categories of Road Courses and RallyCross tracks. The reasoning being that they, for the most part, don't interfere with any of Halo 4's physics issues. It's all about skill, and I believe that only the most skilled drivers deserve to win, not one-win-wonders do to a freak accident.

Do you have a favorite race map on Halo 4?:

My favourite race map on Halo 4, despite having somewhat of an age to it, has to be Sunset Stadium by bouyboy. This track in my opinion is one of the best compact Road Courses out there. bouyboy had done a very good job of implimenting many inclined areas of the track. This also is one of my favourite because of the lines that can be taken on that track. While many are consider my line, which consists of going airborne over the hills, risky, I find my line to be very enjoyable and by far the quickest.

How did you find the ORL?: Before finding out the ORL, I had a racing league of my own called the AMA. (AMA - American Mongoose Association) It was a pretty fun league to race in at the time; we would have a 16-player lobby at almost every race. However, it eventually got boring, due to the fact that I began to dominate everything I was in. Then one of my friends mentioned the ORL while we were goofing off in forge; so of course, I had to do some research. I found it to be a pretty legit league, and was going to join back in Season 4. Unfortunately, my Xbox had to die on me while I was sending a message to one of the managers. So I had to wait until right before the beginning of Season 6 to get a new one and sign up.

Motivation for joining the ORL?: I was getting tired of owning everyone in the AMA, so I wanted to join a league that would provide a challenge week in and week out.

What do you want to achieve in the ORL?: My goal was originally to get a top 5 in every race, and then set my sights on a top 3 towards the 2nd half of the season. However, after barely making it out of the LCQ in my 1st official race, (not to mention failing to qualify at four races) I saw that I was not even close to achieving that goal. So then I decided to not even worry about my position (Well, as long as it wasn't last.) and to just qualify for as many rounds as I could. To my surprise, my best race came at the Moonridge National, where I was battling for a top 5 finish, but ended up 7th. I also tied my best finish at the final MX round at the Grandhill National, where I got the holeshot and was battling with the leaders for a lap or two. My goals now are to stay consistent throughout the season, and hopefully manage to get a top 5 if I can.

What games do you play?: I usually play anything, but you'll find me playing Halo 4 or Halo Reach most of the time.

What division(s) are you planning on doing this upcoming season?: Most likely SX; if not then MT.

What's your favorite category of race maps on Halo 4?: Supercross/Motocross

Do you have a favorite race map on Halo 4?: No, but I intend on finding one.

Is there anything you need help with in the ORL?: No, everything seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

How did you find the ORL?: I was watching one of Ducain's videos and he mentioned the ORL so I decided I would drop from the competitive side of Halo and try racing.

People like myself and Office stayed strong and raced almost every week against those guys and it really made us the great racers we are today.
