How come the practice server is on Spa?

[Anty]

Wanted to practice, but also could not find it, there is no way to set the offline fuel consumption X2

I will just go risky on fuel if I race this one

How come the practice server is on Spa?

Fixed now and running with our practice password. Server will be stopped and restarted with our usual race password at 20:00 GMT.

I've been out of action all week with very limited mobility but hope to join even if I tootle round at the back and have to retire early

How do you do pitstops? I have done a preset, I do "P" for pit request, I go into the pits, and it sits there waiting for me to confirm the settings
but it won't let me select that tab, I can scroll up and down to everything except confirm>>

[spanner]

From what i remember you need to confirm the fuel? it goes green when you have confirmed it. Then the overall confirm becomes available.

[phspok]

Right, it worked that time, I will test some more, ta.

[goldtop]

Server now running with race password.....gla 

BTW I've not set mandatory pitstop in server settings as it limits the window in which you are able to pit. You will need to pit for at least fuel anyway so it's just one less thing to go wrong.

Also, please remember..

MANUAL FORMATION LAP WITH ROLLING START

I was happy to be there...  steam froze me in the game while changing from qualifying ... hope its gets better!!!!

[SRW]

didnt get much time to practice, but was getting up to speed at the back of the grid, then slid wide and tapped the wall damaging the engine race over

[phspok]

Was enjoying that, but as usual pit stops ruined a pottentially good race for me.
Went in twice but they would not put any fuel in, just kept changing tyres. I had a pit stop preset with safe fuel, and then changed it to normal on
2nd stop , but nope, no fuel. I assume others got fuel.

[picnic]

Pit stop ruined what was a pants race for me anyway. Took me ages to spot the very obvious (not) highlight around what ever box was active and then I couldn't work out how to not change tyres. Well I must have, sort of, as they changed the fronts and not the backs. As the car was already very tail happy having a huge 2% difference in tyre wear between front and back made everything even worse.

Wasn't really enjoying it anyway. What changes between qual and race, I couldn't get with a second of my qual time and it wasn't like the qual time was a fluke as I did 3 laps all with in a 10th of each other. In the race too it seemed somewhat random if the car would slow down for a couple of the corners (only those turning left!) The random brake nature reminded me of GTL where I couldn't ever work out what was about to occur. Funny though as I had none of those problems with the Group 5 cars on Thursday.

Should have taken Shark's offer of racing AC elsewhere.......

[Chunky]

Yeah pit stops were a problem for me as well, preset for 20 gallons only puts in 20 liters ......had to drive it like i stole the thing and pitted 4 times!!!
had to guess the pit menu as it doesn't highlight as well ... still good race love this track well done Ant on the win!

[Cuomo]

Hey, I want to apologize for causing a collision when I was overtaken. Pretty bad behaviour by me, I'm feeling terrible! Hope I didn't ruin your race (I don't know who was the 'victim', driving the blue ruf). Made a voluntary drive through. As I could not find this option in the menu, I just drove in and canceled the pit. Hope that's correct this way, but of course I'd take any responsibility if there is some kind of punishment. I thin this drive through just took something around 10 seconds, what seems to be not so much.

Eventful race  

Start was a mess! At least 3 drivers forgot about the rolling/formation lap which meant that by the time we were racing most of the field were half a lap down  

When we got going it was a very exciting race with Ant until he made a mistake and I sneaked by only to get myself caught up with a back marker and I clattered into the wall. Lost engine power and had to limp around for the last 15 minutes frantically trying to keep ahead of those who were now reeling me in.

Any volunteers to moderate this one and dish out some penalties for the jump starters?

[gchristod]

Sorry for the start guys, totally forgot, but i remembered it was a rolling start and gave the spot back to anthony in the parade lap.
Is smt wrong with the fuel consumption? I used 75 liters in 27 minutes, put 50 liters in the pit stop so had 85 with 33 minutes to go. Around 5 minutes till the end had to make another pit because i had only 2 liters left.... Morris i guess was also saving fuel towards the end, hence i caught up.

Edit:Just saw it was engine problems for gt,not fuel.
