Whew, giant backlog done! :D And you see i used the new and shiny Spreadsheet that crunches through the race results, delivers event results and updates the parity in one go. :cool: I won't bother uploading the race result screenshots now, you will have to trust me (and the spreadsheet for the final calculations) with that, but i checked it against former series and there were some hand calculation errors (no final standing changers) i found with the spreadsheet -- gives me confidence that the new automated way is easier and better. Hope that results can be delivered faster now! 👍

Here is a link to the new beta Spreadsheet, if i'm done polishing it will replace the original Parity Sheet.
 
Whoo! Now I have to get to work. :guilty:

TODAY
2:30pm US EST / 11:30am US PST / 7:30pm GMT / 8:30pm CET / 19:30 UTC

I'm tempted to usurp the Montjuic Park idea. :sly:
Because to be honest, I haven't had time to come up with something! :lol:
And that track sounded like a great idea. ;)

Unless someone else has a custom track idea? 💡 :D


Append: I'm getting "user not found" when I try to download tracks. What am I doing?
Never mind, I think I just had too many added. :dunce:


Append 2: Did you guys ever use Nimble Beat? ;)
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/resources/nimble-beat-circuit.2790/
 
Great races today, Nimble Beat is short and sweet, not many user tracks have lap times under 2min -- in the Ghia! :D:tup: The downhill section before the finish is thrilling even with Limbo Stick and scary with Classics! :scared::lol:
 
Sorry I couldn't make it today, I hope the races went good. This new timezone is making it hard for me to make races, 11:30 am is too early on Sun mornings for me.

Hey, we can discuss shifting the races half hour later, if that's of any help. But doing it much later really stretches it in my timezone. :crazy: What do the others think? We really need that flat earth now. :sly::lol:
 
Yesterday's meeting was fantastic chaps, I'm gutted that I had to leave early. That Nimble Beat circuit is a belter, and the racing was so close and clean. I'll be joining you whenever I can in future.

Cheers, Zo.

I used to have cellular Internet service as well. If you can move your router around (every slight rotation, and even changing where it is by just a millimeter can make a significant difference) and manage to squeeze out about 4 Mbps down and at least 300 kbps up when you run your connection test, then you should be able to achieve a just barely acceptable connection. Also, unless you are somehow able to get a much better speed than this, you're gonna have to take drastic measures to reduce lag. Turn off the media server in the network options, and check and make sure Upnp is enabled. You'll have to mess with your router settings if it's not. You'll need to clear your cache at least once or twice daily, and you may want to switch your phone to airplane mode if you use it for the car lists, or turn it off completely, as receiving a text or phone call, even without the phone being connected to WiFi, will cause a lag spike, sometimes with enough lag to disconnect you from the room. Also, your connection speed can be influenced by the weather. Any time there was a storm over my place, I would find, at some point, that I would be unable to connect to the Internet at all, and my speed was generally slower if it was just very cloudy out.

Last time we raced, I didn't notice any issues, so I kinda think your better off than I was. I usually spent more time troubleshooting my connection than actually doing any online gaming before I upgraded. Btw, that rig looks awesome. Wish I had one.

If you ever find the better part of a grand lying about, I would definitely say the Obutto rig I have is totally worth it. Thing's like a tank -- shipping weight was 75 kilos I think. o_O Totally transforms the experience. Now if only a money fairy would crash into my house with about two grand so I could build the triple-screen PC sim that the rig desperately calls out for.

About internet speeds, before when I was racing against you guys, I was still on the fibreoptic lines in town, with a theoretical 100 Mps up and down. Out here on the farm, I was initially really worried because we were getting only about 8 up and 1 down, and I was getting annoying lag spikes and packet drops in the only other game I play online -- admittedly, a game with pretty bad netcode. Then it dropped to 4 up and about 300Kbps down, which is when we discovered that a bad storm had plastered the receiver against the roof so that it wasn't pointed anywhere near the transmitter up on the mountainside.

Once we got the ISP to fix it, it shot back up so that now, depending on the weather, I can get 20-30 down and 3-5 up, and the ping is comparable to the landline connexion in town. That's on my iMac using the wireless LAN, for what it's worth, and is about the same connexion speed that the PS3 would report in town. So now I'm mildly (but cautiously) optimistic that I'll be able to race again once I can get the rig set up, which will probably be this weekend. I'll be hardwired to the router, of course, but I expect there will be times where I'll be a little laggy or even unable to maintain a solid connexion, if the weather's crappy enough to cause radio interference.

I'll also probably have to schedule no-internet time with the rest of the family to minimize the chance of disastrous lag et cetera. In town, there were times I'd be hosting and racing with a torrent going on my computer, two other computers streaming HD video, and my tablet open to the car lists and the forum, with practically zero problems. Doubt I'll be able to do that here, though! ;)

Anyway, here's to at least being able to attempt to race with you folks again soon! :cheers: If so, I'll be rusty as hell tho -- haven't turned a lap since I moved six weeks ago. I miss racing!!!
 
First Track Day in the New Year!

Today 19:30 GMT - Track Day - Montjuïc Park

It's an old F1 track, short and sweet. 👍 I have a feeling the Senna WSR '83 will be used today...
Bring any lists you own, see you there! :cheers:

Would be great to see you on track again! :cheers:
 
I missed the closest races.... Oh well, I had fun while I was there. The midengine chaos was interesting, even if I did finish next to last. That Alfa Twin Spark is surprisingly fast. I don't even like FFs, but it handled far better than expected. I still managed to get the front tires worn down to 9s before the final lap, yet the final lap ended up being my fastest lap anyway. That car could have probably been pushed a bit faster yet.
 
Hey guys,
I wasn't able to join races recently but I'm always checking what's going on in the club. You are trying out custom tracks and since I can't offer an own new track I'd like to suggest another one which has become my favourite at the moment. It's Hungaroring, a wonderful replica where I had some amazing AI races. Try it out, it's such a great flow track.

Perhaps we can try this one today if peeps are interested. 💡 :D
 
@Goetz
My C4 is painted Jaguar Racing Green Metallic. :D

Fun races everybody!
Excellent track @Patrick8308 !!

It was funny that in one race @Goetz in the Peugeot bumped into my car on that one uphill left turn... And then in the very next race, *I* was driving the Peugeot, and bumped into the car of @Torzilla on the very same turn!!
:ouch:
So much for learning from the mistakes of others! :lol:
 
Got my Rig set up again, going to give it a shot with this internet. I haven't fine-tuned my connexion settings, though, so who knows how it will go. :lol:

Edit -- great fun, folks. So nice to race again. My connexion seemed to hold up all right -- at any rate, I didn't see or sense any lag apart from the usual custom track issues (spikes at track entry and at timing loops sometimes).
