Thanks for the feedback, I think I will change the race distance to 40 mins, hopefully a few more will turn up but things might get a bit too spread out for a 50 min race.
FYI - on PICNIC's advise I will be closing down the AC/RRE and GT legends servers tonight while we race as there were some warnings about not enough CPU power on the ACC server with all the servers running at the same time. I will fire them all back up on Monday morning.

The timings are GMT+1 (the 7:45pm practice will start in 2 hours time)
The race will be at NURBURGRING

Just a thought for future ACC events, can’t we just call the server SROUK  My search list isn’t finding out server, is it up? |

Well that was lousy missed the race start as I was trying to work out the fuel  formation was a full lap for some reason  so I had to sit in the pits for 2 minutes waiting as my tyres went cold and then wait until the Field had a 15 sec lead before release and now a lap down  Carried on regardless to keep numbers up but then got a stop and go for no good reason at the pit stop gave up in despair  |

That was a strange one. My car felt very odd when I joined the server, just no grip at all. I spun several times in the first stint, including once on the pace lap.. However, after changing tyres at half distance it all felt much better again. Also, I was again stuck not being able to go to the grid at the start with the Drive button greyed out, although this time I found cycling to another car and then back again rectified that one. Next problem was trying to clear the default body and suspension damage repair on your pitstop strategy board. I tried this in a practice race and it went ok, but here I had several attempts at bringing up the MFD, cycling to the correct page and trying to clear those checkboxes (all whilst driving) without success. Don't know what I am doing wrong, but gave up in the end. Also found that bringing up the MFD disables the pit-limiter button.. who woulda thunk boxing can be such a PITA.
Indeed. Despite all that there is something about ACC that I do like, and that's from someone who is not normally a fan of the modern era stuff. Some good racing in there somewhere, but for an ACC noob like me it is a steep learning curve. Congrats Max and Alex, thanks to all. |

So why were we all getting stop and go’s at the pit stop? I kept it in 1st gear on the limiter, took on tyres and fuel yet still got one ?? (for those that don’t know, you have to keep the car in 1st in pit lane or it disables the limiter and you get a speeding penalty). Plus, why do a full lap formation? Set it to the short formation start, especially when so few turn up here. Mfd works okay for me Frex. I’ve set it to my d-wheel joggle on the wheel for easier manoeuvre about the menu. Not sure why, but everytime we run an acc race here there are numerous problems. Must be server setting unfamiliarity as it runs fine with big grids elsewhere.  |
