For the 32 pit track versions everyone needs the updated track files if I understand it correctly. That may well prohibit casual passers by as they won't have it nor probably know where to get it. We've got a good entry for this race, I'd be inclined to leave the PW protected server up so people can test their skins are properly assigned and after the race we'll revert to an open practice server and standard AC skins like we used to do for the GT3 races.

Tested and the skin is correct.
I'll see if I cant round up a few of the newer people at Core this Sunday. First race with the Abarths and the grid is filled with the max 32 drivers. No idea why those things are so popular, 1st track is the same as with the Porsche cup but it just feels so much more fun with the Porsche.

Yeah good point about limiting 'turn up ' drivers on the practise server, not that any of them tend to migrate to actually racing with us, Thomas could be the new exception  I have no idea why Abarth racing is so popular either  Especially as they ran it only a few months ago already. Must be Sunday's making core more popular as I don't see anything over there that's any better than here. I often look to join the races there but abarths and HyperCars don't do it for me. |

IMO, their website looks a lot more "professional", instead of just a forum. |

True, this site looks archaic compared to most racing forums.
Pete, can you increase practise time in the server? It's set for only 15 mins

they did Abarths in March - April 16,
i know why its popular, and that's because they are dead easy to drive being fwd and give the average punter a chance at actually competing, however this should be the case with any 'slow' car, Im not racing the abarths, last time i did it i started at the back of the grid and still found it god awful boring..
i'm looking forward to the cup season..

I hate the tighter chicane at this track, I've never liked it in any category  it's so tight and clumsy. Oh well, same for everyone  Happy to be 3rd fastest so far  but found the track very slippy online today and had a few oversteer offs. |

as only 8 of us have ventured onto the server so far I'm assuming the rest of you are already super fast and well practised in these cars then? |
