[spanner]

When i joined today i had no ballast, but when Felix joined i noitced i then had 60kg.

Struggling with the backend too loose into the faster corners, under braking.

On stracker, how come it doesn't know what tyres or fuel load Flavus has used? Some kind of cloaking device?

I think that happens when people don't have ptracker installed on their end.

[Flavus Periculum]

ok I have it installed but did not know that's how the things get updated. I am sure I had tried it once and it didn't work, I'll try it again next time.
mediums best lap on approx 70 litres 2,20,200 and 3 lap race with low fuel 2,19,200 approx on softs.

Guess I am 2 seconds off pace

Guess I am 2 seconds off pace 

You will be up there for sure. That 2,20,2xx lap surprised me a bit as most of my others were low to mid 2,21's

[Alfrance]

My ballast is correct 

[SRW]

seems like there was a bit of a problem with ballast/car choice during the race.

PICNIC checked my Car list on the server and confirmed that the car list/ballast is correct, we think it may of occured because people who are on the booking list joined the server during the booking session.

FYI

if you are not on the booking list you need to join the event during the booking session

If you are on the booking list you need to join after the booking session (either practice or qualifying)

If there is feedback in this thread of people feeling aggrieved by this matter I will raise a poll to decide if we re-run the Spa round


Pretty annoying race for me, the screen froze early in the race so I put the brakes on to stop the car going off the track, by the time the game started working again I had lost 18 seconds

The results on stracker are all to cock too.

That was a cracking race, (and qually!) really enjoyed it even though I ultimately lost 2 places at the end. I had no tyres left to fight with due to my own error of pitting one lap too early.
Spent the first half being stalked by Flavus in his nimble McLaren for 3rd place. After pitting from 3rd at mid race I saw Simon emerge from the pits a lap later and just got ahead. But within a few laps I could see he was now on a charge and he began to steadily close me down as my tyres got steadily worse (I didn’t change them). Despite his close attention I held him off until about 2 or 3 laps from the end. But he got up the inside of me down to Radillon and I had nowhere to go without having an accident, allowing him and a wily watching Flavus to steam past.  I had all 4 tyres very yellow by then and it was a struggle to stay with them. But they were fighting so it turned into a frantic 3 way fight that Jeff also joined at the end 
I swapped places with Flavus on the last lap but as I tried to turn into pouhon the car just understeered wide and he got back past up the inside.
All 4 cars crossed the line tenths apart. Great close clean racing 

Congrats to Felix and nfsw up ahead too

Had a good race, felt very comfortable in my car on this great track.
 
Unfortunately the ballast for one (or even more?) driver(s) were totally wrong, although Felix pointed that out very early ( hats off , very fair behaviour, didn't noticed that before you wrote it) nothing happened.
Probably lost some valuable points due to that...

Not sure if a re-run of the race is a good idea, that will probabbly cause even more chaos (for example what happens when someone who raced today can't attend the re-run?)

[Flavus Periculum]

Good race tonight had good fun. I had a funny feeling I would get swamped along Kemmel on the first race lap and lost about 3 places I think.
Drove quite consistently while trying to keep Simon at bay for most of the first half of the race. I got held in my pit spot as Simon exited so lost a position in the pits .
Second half was good and I was waiting to pounce on any mistakes from Mark or Simon and my eyes lit up when they went into Eau Rouge side by side so I pounced and nipped past both of them but the tables were turned a couple of laps later when both Mark and Simon whizzed past me on Kemmel. Got passed Mark into 4th on last lap when he ran wide at Pouhon. Well done to winner and podiums. Had a look at the replay and some of the camera angles and footage are spot on. If Kunos get ACC right then it will be an absolute Gem of a sim. One thing I always seem to get wrong is the fuel load. I go on the practice server and it tells me my fuel consumption so I work out the laps and fuel required. For some reason I am always about 20 to 25 litres too much  .
As for the car/ballast problems it is just the luck of the draw, I got a DSQ at Snetterton because the pit window was not correct so it is what it is and the result should stand.

The results on stracker are all to cock too.

There's something strange with these GT3 races because this one hasn't imported properly again, I see Spanner who left early beat several you didn't. I've not seen similar issues with Jeff's Wednesday night events.

If you are on the booking list you need to join after the booking session (either practice or qualifying)

You can see whether you're pre-booked or not as your name (and car choice) are listed in the server info.

I'm sure Felix was not intentionally cheating but I'm sure we've all now noticed that you can beat the ballast system by using the booking period to create a non ballasted entry. My personal view is that, now we discovered this, anyone who does this in future is excluded from the results.

[Sutol]

I hope the system doesn't give me ballast now!!
