well we had a play for 3 laps of the race then called it time when Paul stuck his shiny Lotus head first into the Armco  Would have been a good race with a semi decent grid of cars. The Z4 has the edge on the straights whereas the Lotus is more nimble in the corners, as you would expect really  Installing the update now but it says 1hr +  even at 760kbps. Shame it had to blinking happen on race night  |

Personally id rather just move on than re-play it.
But im easy either way.
It would be interesting to see how the tyre degridation plays a part.

I've reset the date so that we re-run this event next week.
I'm looking into the possibilities of running a season of official races now that we have V1.0 (release candidate). There are a few potential problems which need to be overcome including the way we import results so these will need to be sorted first.

I may be able to join this'n. This track features in the career mode so I've done a quite a few laps already and I like the Beemer a lot. But my best time is IIRC 2:33 so I'm still well of the boil. I hope to try the Lotus later today.
BTW is this something I should be doing something with?
Server track settings:
SESSION_START=97
SESSION_TRANSFER=60
RANDOMNESS=
LAP_GAIN=50
EDIT: Just joined the online practise session and no probs.

BTW I did an offline race with a full grid of Beemers and Lotus and it looked amazing. Also saw a great crash between two of the AI cars which left one having to retire through damage. The AI cars seem well matched to my standard and gave me a really good race which was great fun. Looking forward to a repeat race but this time I'll try the Lotus.
On the start/finish straight I did get a warning message "CPU at 95% occupation" but the frame rate remained super smooth.

Been getting the CPU at 95% since the update on certain track/car combos, but doesn't seem to affect the game, even with graphics on low or maxed out, I just ignore it now, as you do....  |

Those are the settings for our server which determine the rate at which the track rubbers in. I only post them for testing purposes so we all know what to expect......no need to adjust anything your end. BTW I did an offline race with a full grid of Beemers and Lotus and it looked amazing. Also saw a great crash between two of the AI cars which left one having to retire through damage. The AI cars seem well matched to my standard and gave me a really good race which was great fun. Looking forward to a repeat race but this time I'll try the Lotus.
On the start/finish straight I did get a warning message "CPU at 95% occupation" but the frame rate remained super smooth.
A full grid of AI can still be a bit of a strain at times. The biggest culprits are tyre smoke, smoke in mirrors and dust/gravel flying around. I turned these off and have never since seen the 95% cpu warning. Hope to see you on Wednesday Tony |

Tried the Lotus and it's a lovely drive but I'm even slower in it!
BTW when I change up gear even before full revs I'm showing engine damage. Auto clutch didn't help. First car I've had this problem with. Worried that if I do choose the Lotus I will have killed the engine before the chequered flag.

Glad you said that Tony as I found the same when I tried the feisty Lotus out this eve briefly. Z4 didn't suffer it when I tried that afterwards. Thought it was a server setting but did same offline too. See we are upto R1.3 already! |
