I know that some of you like this sort of thing so you are hereby invited to the MARA "fun" race tonight.

Times are as above and the race is expected to last for about 90min, starting in the daylight and finishing in the dark.

If you are interested in having a go then please post here and I will PM you with the server instructions.

I believe that it is forecast to rain at Spa tonight but thankfully MARA have opted to do without that layer of realism in respect to some of the more elderly graphics cards and computers.

Count me in please Clive 

[Geoffers]

I could be tempted!

[Wiltshire Tony]

Clive, can you find out how their achieving the accelerated daylight in a online race please?

[Truetom]

906? Yes, please.

[Clive Loynes]

Clive, can you find out how their achieving the accelerated daylight in a online race please?

Well they think that they have done it by changing the daylight acceleration figure under realism.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Sure, and that's what I'd do for an OFFLINE race but I wasn't aware that you were offered that option for ONLINE

If it makes any difference, we connect to this server via the LAN option, then enter the IP address and then PW.

[Truetom]

When is the server up?

[Clive Loynes]

When is the server up?

It's running now but you don't see it in the Lobby.

I forgot to save a copy of the joining instructions that I have just sent to Tudor and I'm hoping that he will bounce a copy back to me.

You join via the LOCAL NETWORK option and I will PM you the instructions any minute.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Can someone find out how their achieving the accelerated daylight in a online race please?

Or give me Tony Rickards email and I'll ask myself.

If this is now possible it opens up a whole new world of possibilites for P&G at SROUK particularly for endurance events. 

[Truetom]

Checked the server, joined ok. So, is 906-E the best or not?

If it works Tony, and this is the first time it has been tried, you have to host a race via the LOCAL NETWORK option.

That gives you all the usual adjustmenst as if you were just running an AI race on your pc.

It is necessary for all the people joining to know the IP address in advance as well as the usual pw.

The game does not appear in the lobby.

Probably but it is very close.

I think the different variants have slightly different aero packages and may also have different tyres.

I used #7 and managed a 2:44 in practice and in daylight. 

I'm not doing the race because the night time stuff makes me want to throw up.

[Truetom]

10 of us finished and I count 4th as ner win. Too bad it wasn't raining anymore later.
