I have no problems with running it later, I just thought we followed the 20:00 UTC.

UTC/GMT doesn't take daylight savings into account, it stays the same all year round. IIRC all of Europe should now be either on the same time, or one hour ahead of GMT (everyone in this league, anyway) so we're actually starting an hour earlier than we should be.
I think during the first season the clocks went forward just before the first race, so the races started an hour 'earlier' to make it so that they started at the same time as before daylight savings.
I always made it 21:00 UK time to accommodate the majority UK racers in all of my leagues, but this season it turns out us Brits are the minority
I don't know about Zz, Falcon & Netherdragon, but I can sort of live with an hour earlier, it's far from ideal and chances are I'll probably miss one or two races simply from coming home late on Saturdays.

I agree making it at 23:00 for me, aka 21:00 for uk

i'm fine with the normal times.. as in 22.00 i think we should of made a notice on the 1st page so people would keep in mind races start 1 hour earlier but i guess. if we start 21.00 some might not know we are doing that and just show up at 22.00.. it'll be a bit unfair i think..

very dissapointed that the race wouldnt run properly tonight , i was about 10 seconds slower its almost like i had on the wrong tires
i really like the hard tire rule and i was looking forward to seeing how i would do with the front runners in the series
i guess i will try again next week , see you at nurburg

what a mess...
first of all Falcon was lagging alot today, and when the race started there was lagging everywhere. Nevertheless i was in good position (twice)
The third start went terrible, some guys behind me hitted me and i lost control, taking GP-cian whit me. Not my fault GP.
when i pitted for softs i catched Anastasis, Korolinaste & Joppo, also i was gaining fast on Teamradpitt and could follow Erik and nether on a decent pace. But then i got disconnected.

To make it fair we will have to.
Ok here comes a wall of text and I want everyone to read it.
Like I said before the private lounge works on a peer to peer system, meaning that if Arkano and me are in the room alone I send him information where I'm on the track. That means he will have to receive it.
This is clear to everyone, then Maxitsu joins in and I have to upload my data to both Arkano and Maxitsu, and on top of that I will have to download twice as much. Now Netherdragon joins the fun and IMMORTALPILOT also joins. I will now have to download and upload twice of the amount than when I was with Arkano and Maxitsu in the room. And when we are 15 people.
Well I think you get the picture.
That means if one of us already maxing out our connection with 10 guys in the room it will lag no matter what if we add a new guy. Then it doesn't matter if the new guy is on a fiber connection with 100mbit.. its easy to blame him no matter what, it wasn't lagging before you joined and bla bla!!
So the problem really doesn't have to be with one of the new guys, but it lays with the guy have the least bandwidth. And yes it could be one of the new guys and it could be one of us. So I suggest we test our connections speed and ping to a country outside your own country. Having a ping of 10-30ms to a server in the same town as you live yourself isn't impressive.
I would suggest doing a ping and speed test to every country we have players from. UK, USA, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Norway and we got a new guy from Finland. I I forgot someone now, I'm sorry. but I guess I made my point.
we have http://pingtest.net and http://speedtest.net
example:
And sorry I had the opportunity to brag about my connection again, but I doubt it me causing the lag.

My connection speed is better than this, normally fine in open rooms though and in a rural area of the uk which results in the slow speeds

after you do the test, go to forum link(down to the test), copy it and paste it here. it works that way for me

And you know another weird thing to note ; we ran a few practice sprint races that ran without any lag.
That lag in the real race was unreal , its obvious some ppl weren't affected , the way that nsx shot past me if was like it had 500 more hp , lol
And then I quitted and watched from live timing , they were setting 41's and 39's
I don't know how to explain that race last night , quite a phenomenon

Nice and steady results there adam
Do anyone here have a router witch tell you what kind of speed it handles? Would be great to actually know how much traffic we need to handle during the race.

Probably not something to be concerned about since its a java application and it could just be a problem in your browser. But packet loss is important and should be 0% any more and its a problem.
