just a heads up to all, I am looking to run this either next week or in 3 weeks time as I am not about on the weds 4th November. I have pm'd Chris to see how he wants to play it, ie two weeks of his rounds or bring mine forward to next week. I don't want to miss a round of my own short series! I am enjoying it

Rather than throwing both series out, i'm sure a random one-off event would be fine.

Chris is going to run his events next two weeks. Next round for me is the 11th November. Plenty of time for practise so I'll expect a close field

My turn back into the race promoters seat Got some early praccy in this eve. A pb of 1.59 so far using 'fast' grip and with medium tyres and full race fuel. Cars are fun in the stadium complex with some nice controllable oversteer Forgot until typing this that softs lasted a race last time! So may be more time to drop unless they've tweaked the tyres again since

aah that's a pity Sutol.
I did a short offline race yesterday on softs with race fuel. Believe i set grip level to fast and got down to a 2.04s. That was in traffic with the "outstanding" AI.. Will have a go on the server when it is up and see if i can shave some more seconds. (probably sunday or Monday evening, so maybe we could practice on ChrisR's server?..please?)
After six laps my rears where down to 95%, so i am not sure if these would be that good after about ten laps in.
BTW Nice quality track this one MJ.

Ok thanks. But most of the time when i am able to do some practice it is Sunday evenings or Monday evenings, so it is not available. So it would be nice to have some back-up server online if possible. On the other hand i now can experience the single player/AI aspect of AC

Do wonder if a lack of a regular practise server harms us sometimes, particularly for new guys looking to dip their toes in the water bit like postal I often look on a Monday eve only to find none present. I know it's tough to join when others may be on same time but can't recommend enough being online to practise with other drivers present. You usually learn more in 15 minutes than you might for two hours offline, especially if some of the good drivers/set up engineers like Ed or Chris are on. Just comparing things like gear ratios or suspension can save you a lot of wasted laps testing on your tod plus you get an instant benchmark in lap times

Yes, i am not sure if it is a big factor in getting people involved, but it surely is more immersive to me, being able to do pre-race practice with your fellow racers. Talking setup tweaks and just bs with other racers was what created a great atmosphere back in my LFS days. There was always someone online during the evenings. However there where always two servers available, so that made it much easier of course. And i realise this site is running more than one title to make it even more complex.

I can run a practice server on the Monday. Just search @Jester, with standard PW.
