*Press Release*
ARL medical officials have evaluated Team Personal Space after another team found the whole crew and driver passed out in their garage during FP1. Fearing a carbon monoxide leak in the garage the track safety crew rushed into action and the team was rushed to the in-field care center and evaluated for further injury and treatment. Upon examining the teams garage and trailer for clues to the mishap, there were half eaten brownies discovered all in Team Personals Space’ PR tent from their new sponsor. Other than that no Co2 leak or any other chemical leak. Confused ARL Officials went back to the infield care center to inter view team members that were just coming too.
“You got any chips?, I’m really thirsty, you’ve got a silly mustache” Was what the tire changer said in response to the officials questions. About that time the doctors initial toxicology test came out and found the team were all high on the substance known as tetrahydrocannabinol, other wise known as “the reefer”.
ARL officials have uhh confiscated brownies to uhhhh collect further evidence, ya evidence... in PersonalSpace’s involve the in this recent catastrophe at the track. Hope fully Team personal space will give a full account of how this happened later...
Update: this just from Team PersonalSpace
we had a recent mix up with our snack bar In our or tent at the last race. On our trip out see we took a detour through uhh Colorado, yeah, and we loaded up on brownies, cause brownies are good, right? Any ways.

A few questions regarding the connection issues.
*Is everyone clearing their cache before entering room? (All drivers, not just host)
*with the known connection issues that Herimopp89 and Neutty seem to have, whether it be weather, location, or just area network traffic, would it be worth considering establishing a pool of drivers capable of hosting the room under heri's and Neutty's direction?
*Have all drivers submit a speedtest.net result to get to the bottom of who's connections are at the source of the problems.
I have run about 6-7 Porsche Cup Events with full to near full grids with little to no connection issues, stuck grid situations, or lagging.
I ask that all drivers clear their cache before entering room, and that once an entry is made, do not back out. (Not sure if this helps keep the room stable, but so far so good)
Just a few thoughts to help get things to smooth out.

I had a blast last night. 5 ARL members joined in on my 1.5hr Gr.4 Endurance Race at SPA where @neuttyy took home an impressive 2nd place among a very strong field. Then we all jumped over into the ARL lobby for this race. Yes there were some lobby issues and this happens from time to time. It can be frustrating but just remember it's not the BOD fault it's PD's ( yes I clean my cache every race)
I put down one of my fastest laps ever here during qualifying only to have it wiped clean by lobby issues. Once the race was finally underway I really had fun battling some of the fastest driver's in this league.
Being in between @aceboy127 and @Herimopp89 is not an easy task if you ask me as I was driving the wheels off this Mustang just to maintain that speed.
My lucky number must have been 5 because I finished a respectable 5th in both races last night.
I want to thank everyone again for a great night of racing and all the hard work that goes on to make these events happen.

Last season we had no issues with myself and @Herimopp89 which is why we almost have them as primary’s.
Last night I hosted, we had issues, switched to nick. (2 different hosts)
@PApunk924 started lobby b and after having issues they switched to @Herimopp89. (2 different hosts) last night was PD’s issue. I had a fullish lobby on Tuesday night with ZERO issues at this track and at 90 minutes!!
With FIA and Saturday night shenanigans I believe that the servers are having issues keeping up. Spa was released this week and it’s very possible that the servers were loaded with racers running the track.
I would expect everyone to plan on seeing a very important announcement coming from the BOD this week regarding lobbies and possible times.

@SAMHAIN85 starting 10th overall seems off @Nick Cannella. He started 2nd in lobby A, so he must have done a 1:19.xxx.

Reading through this I think we’re over reacting to what happened last night obviously we want every night to be smooth but I can say out of the 27-28 races just in ARL with these guys not to mention the other events and other leagues I think one night where it was chaos should show that it’s pds problem and not an ARL problem all we can do is take this and learn from it like what sounds like is already going on

Absolutely right, but, this showed us a flaw in our process to getting everyone on track with equal chances to race.

Ok so I don't want to talk about the lobby too much since that's been pretty much covered. So we're clear, I think FIA and the release of Spa had a huge part to play. Continue doing your best BoD.
What I really want to do is apologize to @IDreamInGT3, who I absolutely smashed at T1 on lap 13. I misjudged your speed and thought about pulling to your inside, but that sudden move could really have messed up @SAMHAIN85 coming in behind me, so I decided to hold my line. My car paid the price, but I wanted you to know that it was my mistake, not yours.
Also, @CPT_RowdyGiff, I don't know if it was the servers, but it sure looked like you got punted at the last left hander before the straight on lap 2 or 3. From my point of view, there was no contact. Looked at my replay and it confirmed that. Not sure what went on, but thought I should mention it. Good clean racing from you though.
Great driving last night @NASCARNATE91. I enjoyed our battles.

Still a decent but disappointing result for me. I did some mistakes at the final stages and clipped the barriers, and ended up making 2 extra stops. Originally shifted a 5 stop strategy to a 4, including a long tire stint but it didn't pay off well. I guess I'll have to move on to the next race to try improve on the result, and also fine tune my rocket.
I'm still excited about the grid start though finding more tricks behind it. No actual turbos added yet so don't scrutinize my car!
Anyway, mind if I ask if you still have the replay, I'd like to compare our replays with regards to the collision I had just to compare how horrid the servers were performing earlier today. Drive wise I think I had a fair share of fault for braking top early and not moving off the line near the end of the straight.

You're really quick up the charts, saw your progress from the start of the race and it was so consistent. Great finish there!

Thanks man that was a fun race. After that pit stop I came out in front of you I knew you’d be on your way. Did my best to hustle, manage tires, save fuel, and short pit. Although you inevitably got by me I think it made my overall time faster just by trying to stay ahead as long as I could. I also have to give a shout out to @Kylan (Roberts247) for making me earn my podium in the closing laps.

No worries. I hate it for you. You had a good spot.

Nope, there was no contact. That was all me, was trying not to hold you up too much as I knew you were much faster. I just missed my brake point. I beat myself quite a few times last night....
