UKAC Season 2 Blancpain Sprint - Nurburgring Sprint GP - Jul 6

[Simon Gymer]

I think it's unlikely I'll make this race but I'll do my best. Going to be out of the area all day and not sure when I'll make it back.

[Mark J]

not at all sure if I'm doing this right but I normally have No.51 Harrods skin.

Is that a stock skin? If so let me know and I'll edit the entry file. At the moment your in the United autosports skin (red,white & blue).

Pete can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your chosen skin will show on the praccy server, but should be correct on race night.
Ps sorry Pete, thought our practise server wasn't a secret password.

Do your best Sharky, always good to have one of my nemesis on track for added spice  your pre booked in so can join right upto the race start.

Correct MJ, practice will still be pot luck as to which skin you get.

[spanner]

Am a little confused. So there are two joining methods, booking mode, and free but with a fixed car entry list, err ok and the assigned method. You seem to be trying to run both at the same time?  If your running a booking system then we all need to be booked in surely?

[Mark J]

If your on my pre-entry list as per the series thread then no you don't book, your slot is guaranteed as ive effectively already told the server your name, guid and car choice.
If your name isn't on the list or I haven't got the guid of say a new driver in time then they have to use the booking method...simples 

[Mark J]

good to see 6 or 7 guys practising on the server tonight 

[/NOTEb] Please make sure you have the Bentley mod installed from post 1 of this thread. It is a newer version than used in the test race a week ago so if you get a checksum error joining its more likely that. I saw one person already struggle to join tonight until he realised.

[GP20]

I'm wrong or i only see the Sprint GT version?

There was another German driver on the practise server last night 'Friteuze'.  You are welcome to join us but I have no details so maybe you want to join in the booking session. 

To ChrisT, I couldn't find the Harrods skin on my install so stuck with united autosports car for this round for you.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly tonight but this the 1st time we've used GUIDs to register drivers. MJ and myself will try and keep an eye on the forum and I'll be on TeamSpeak as early as I can, details here https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3050.0

No need to stay on TS for the race if you find it distracting but it's a useful medium to communicate with if there is an issue.

[Mark J]

Good idea on TS I'll try and get mine setup too so we can chat/solve as needed during the practise session  

If I were you guys I'd at least try and join the race server sooner the better just to make sure you can get on alright and allow me and Pete time to solve any issues. Hopefully none!

[Sutol]

Skin is ok Mark. Can't seem to get on the practice server at the mo??
