Great practice session last night saw more PBs as we get a bit more familiar with the combo. 10 racers again, and the racing was good. Again consistency will be key here, as the Esprit will bite back hard if you make a mistake. Jammyrex also has a new time, which was set in his own lobby yesterday, and he posted me the screenshot to confirm this. More runs tonight, however I am out for the day, and if I am going to be later than 8.30pm, GC Gary will open a lobby.



Racing hard tyre.

Well, im back from my day out, so will open the lobby at 8.00pm. Tonight we will continue with the shorts races, and once a few are in, we will do some pit stop/tyre change races, and go over the track boundaries.
 
Sorry for the triple post, could do with some of you guys posting to avoid it happening. Anyway, onto last nights practice. Capt_D stormed his way into the 15's, securing the pace setter position even further in his favor. New PBs were also achieved, with the gap for the front half of the grid closed down quite dramatically. We also ran a couple of pit stop races, and once again there were no pit stop dramas. The sport soft tyre, although considerably slower did have more grip than I was expecting. Then we discussed track boundaries. Quite simple here really. Dont cut eau Rouge. Try to keep a nice pace through, use the kerb to get the exit, but keep within the track boundaries. This will be really important during the first lap next Sunday, so lets all keep cool so we can all get through without incident.

Unfortunately we did spend a considerable amount of time trying different room settings again to try and get rid of the compatibility issues between Will and Warren. We didnt have any luck. Will has suggested that he may try port forwarding, or trying to set up his connection DMZ, so if anyone has any knowledge of this, please share. The only other thing I can think of is trying is in a room with fixed ownership of the room set to on. My connection is good enough for this, but it does mean if Im disconnected, or leave the room, then so does everyone else. Got to be worth a try though.

Racing hard tyre.

I can't dmz the router as it would take up most of the bandwidth, I'll try get those ports open but if that doesn't help the only thing I can suggest is I drop out completely. If my connection is causing bother for other people then will step out.

Don't drop out Will, it's ok on race nights normally, and even if it's not, it's really not a big problem. as long as you can see the majority of the other drivers.

I dont want anyone to feel they need to drop out. Theres still a few things left to try, like fixed room ownership. I did read some posts as well about some maintenance last night, so whether there have been any improvements remains to be seen. I will be on tonight from 8.30pm for a short while to test the fixed ownership room.
 
I was hoping to get on again tonight guys, but its not looking likely. Had a few runs with Warren, CaptD and NOMAD last night. NOMAD was the only racer during the 4 races we had to get an improvement in his time.

We also may have had an idea into the connection issues. Warren checked his router settings, and discovered that he didnt have UPnP enabled. This setting helps with connectivity to other devices over a network, and may have been what was causing the issue between Will and Warren. If possible, could other racers cheeck their router settings to make sure UPnP is enabled.

I will be back on tomorrow from 8.30pm for a few more practices before the weekend.

Thanks for letting me know mate, you will be missed.

Im going to struggle again to make it tonight guys, turned into a madhouse round here again. Will is going to open a lobby, and I will try to join later. If not normal service will resume tomorrow.
 
whys there a pic of the headlights from a S2000, and the lights of another car? On closer inspection it looks like a NSX type r or prototype.

So, practice resumes tonight from 8.30pm, now that this mad week has come to an end. Good job as I need the track time. Also, some comments on Gary's mysterious picture. What could it be???????????

Friday practice saw a couple of improvements on the table, and Dowlin added his to the list. Great fun evening, with the usual great banter. The last race cost me extra pocket money, and a shopping trip. Last chance tonight to get times on the table and make improvements. Lobby will be open from 8.30pm.

We are still looking at a busy grid for tonights race. Final practice last night saw some excellent close racing. I havnt had a chance to view the replays, but will try to get a look this afternoon. We did struggle again with others being visible for Will, although the problem between Will and Warren seems to have been resolved. So please check router settings, and ensure that UPNP is enabled. Hopefully tonight will be connection issue free.

Well my race was a disaster, put wrong tyres on first pit stop. Wanted to stay on RH but put SS on.
However on a brighter note, had a great time and this car is lovely. Maybe I'll get it together for the last race.
