I was unlucky to miss both races. I was practicing offline just before the 1st race. I had forgot that the Friday races start earlier. I tried to join while the server was mutating, but it was too late. Then I had more time to practice offline, and decided to give the Ferrari a test run. I was able to join the server for the 2nd race. I had a little lag during Qually, probably because I am in the U.S.. I think that I was able to adjust to it though. Then I was called away from the computer just before the 2nd race started. I was able to come back to the computer in time to watch the last few laps of the battle for 2nd place.

I may put in a little extra practice for next week.
See you all then,
Walter

Sorry Walter,
hope the next week will be troublefree  ;)
I had to leave the second race....

To see the differences of 60 and 36fps for the PC

Just made 2 pics, one of my PC

and the server

Interesting to see how much more the CPU is working on 60 fps

The intention is to see if there is a bottleneck in your system, if any of the 3 main components (CPU, GPU or RAM) reaches a 100% load.

But there can be also the opposite, as my GPU will not detect GPL as a 3D application, I have to set the GPU manualy in a higher state.
You can see this at the beginning and end of the graph (300/150), in between the races you see the pushed state (500/700) of the GPU.
I use this guidance (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/changing-2d-clocks-on-ati-cards.114562/) to have a hotkey for easy activation  ;)
