[Torzilla]

Welp, thanks to a check engine light a new pc and iRacing will have to be pushed backed at least a couple months so you fools will be stuck with me, deal with it. I'll see you tomorrow.

Crap I have my sister visiting with me this week, and I had a post & never hit the submit button.
Sorry guys!

Sunday's connectivity hasn't got any better, so i guess the racing would have failed anyways.

Well maybe that should make me feel like I didn't miss anything.

However it just stinks. They need to get it together!

 

[Torzilla]

Is the connectivity only on Sundays or do you have problems other days of the week?

 

[John Wells]

Saturday too I think

 

[tarnheld]

Shuffle Racing Mystery Tour Today!

See you there!

​

Yeah, i know, dillidallied today's schedule and last results, they will arrive Real Soon™!

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up in the club lobby!

 

[tarnheld]

Ok, ok, here are the Results:

Wow, @amarynceos took the overall win without winning a race! 👍

And again, this time only by a tiny margin. Congrats all, see you next time, i'm planning to revive the Shuffle Series on Friday, watch this space for more to come.

BTW for all you Shufflers: @bloodyboyblue is putting together a Wagon Championship with races on Fridays 22:30UTC, it might just have enough shuffle flavour to tickle your interest and it is happening at a time that might be a little friendlier for the timezonally challenged. 👍

 

[watermelon punch]

Who's going to try this again?

I would LIKE to race.

 

[Torzilla]

Im up for it.

 

[watermelon punch]

I was dc'd 5 min after creating room. Wth?


Tacom couldn't get in.

Tacom made room and I can't get in.

There's been no acknowledgement of a problem yet? We can't all have internet problems and only on Sundays.

 

[watermelon punch]

Completed 12min race no DC's.
Let's see if it holds out!

 

[tarnheld]

Fun races everybody!
Thanks all.

We did hairpins oval... I mean Oval Maze by @Bruno Pro

Very entertaining.


Now mind the time next week because Daylight Savings Time starts here in the US on March 13th.
So well split the difference until Europe joins DST on March 27th.

3pm US EST / 12 noon US PST / 7pm GMT / 8pm CET / 20:00 UTC


(I know it's shocking for me to be up on the time zone daylight savings time thing... hope nobody just fainted from astonishment. )

Hey guys,

My wife is planning to stay at her parent’s house with our little baby the post-Easter week. So I have the place all to myself which means after long absence I’ll be able to do some online racing again. 👍

Actually I’d like to race as much as possible meaning that preferably I’d race Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening (European time). Since there are no club events planned on those days usually I’d host a Special Event where we could explore some fine Japanese tracks PD forgot to implement in the game.


--- Wednesday 30 March 2016 ---

--- 3:00pm US EDT / 12:00pm US PDT / 8:00pm GMT / 9:00pm CEST / 20:00 UTC ---

Instructions:

• Before the Sprint Races # 1, 3 and 5 there will be Practice time of approximately 10 - 15 min to get familiar with the custom tracks
• The Sprint Races # 1, 3 and 5 offer two cars for individual selection
  • Both cars should be competitive with similar performance and lap times within 1 s
  • Every participant can choose one car according to personal taste
  • Though a mixed field would be the goal
• The winner of each the Sprint Races # 1, 3 and 5 will select the used range of the default car list (subject to the number of participants) for each of the following Endurance Races # 2, 4 and 6
  • Hereby the winner can actually select his car of choice regarding the condition that the range ensures the last place driver will be assigned the highest number of the car list at most
• The grid of the Sprint Races # 1, 3 and 5 could be determined by parity rating or simply kept random
• The Endurance Races # 2, 4 and 6 will use RGO
• As you may recognize the Sprint Races # 1, 3 and 5 will proceed under perfect, sunny conditions
• The Endurance Races # 2, 4 and 6 will proceed partially under changing weather conditions with possible rain
• For track change I’d have to create a new room but I guess the PSN should be stable during the week so that this should be no problem
• The whole event should last about 2,5 hours

Query:

• The event could also be held on Tuesday 29 March 2016 or Thursday 31 March 2016 subject to real life or other online racing schedules
• The event starting time may be adjusted ± 1 hour to maximize the number of participants

Now it’s up to you to cast your vote!

Would you like to attend this Special Event?

Are adjustments to date and time necessary?


As mentioned I’ve big interest in racing Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as well. Are you guys up to doing another similar event, maybe on custom US tracks and with other lists? 💡 If that would be a custom track overdose I’d also be happy to do some normal Shuffle Mixer or Track Day event.

For @amarynceos:

 

[Torzilla]

Just noticed it's daylight savings time here in the US. Are we racing in 20min or an hour and 20min?

 

[watermelon punch]

yes let's race.

 

[watermelon punch]

Room is up... Who's in? :-)

 

[Torzilla]

Im in!!!! Lets gooooooo!!!!!

 

[amarynceos]

Darn you network daemons!

It was pretty funny though at the end -- I wrote *sputter* *fizzle* *ded* and then it disco'd me from the lobby server.



Guess I was asking for it.

Countdown to disco.


Is it still mainly on Sundays that this is happening?

I've checked everything I could at this point.

 

[amarynceos]

Yup, mainly Sundays. Friday Track Days are usually just fine -- yeah the occasional 'ah nuts I can't see you mate, I'll rejoin' circumstance, but nothing serious. Same with Zero Cup; we don't too often have any issues there.

It's only Sundays that are consistently made of tangled interwebs. I'm struggling to remember the last time I saw a Sunday round go problem free, no matter who the room host or what the room configuration. Last Sunday I was seeing error codes I've not seen before, and getting booted in unfamiliar ways. That was my first encounter with the PSN signout error, for instance.

I basically never get anything but the occasional visibility issue on weekdays.

I've never seen network problems like this in any other game PSN or otherwise.
