S20 - Race 1 - Silverstone

[Philip Morby]

See, even before the season has started at least 5 have now resigned, plenty of reserves will get a chance to participate

Yeah, I hope to get the chance going forward, it's just gonna be bittersweet if people get to do say, 2 of the 4 races, and then have to throw themselves back into the lottery of season 21 (which I sure will be if that occurs, except from works internet rather than home!)

I have been assuming that the red line after turn 16 on the track map in the second post of this thread is the "acceleration/race start point" as referred to in rule 3.3.1 - is that a correct assumption?

 

[David Chataigner]

I can't race for tonight, a big Thunderstorm is around and i dont want to take any risk

correct

When is the absolute last deadline to know if I'll be driving as a reserve driver or not? How long before the race can I be 100% certain if I'll be driving or not? It seems that some people have dropped out of the race within the last 24 hours of the race, so the reason I ask.

 

[Giacomo Noghera]

I have issues joining the Split 1 server, can I be moved to split 2 for this race?

 

[Elliot Ray]

@Elliot Ray pick car 17, Server 2 for Round 1

Hi mate sorry to be a pain but I won't be able to race as my new pedals haven't arrived yet . Cheers for the offer though , will be looking around for sure .
Edit - I will be able to race but on a controller, it's up to you as to whether or not you want me in the server .

 

[Florian Koetz]

@Timotej Andonovski pick car #30, Server 2 for Round 1

No further reserve drivers will be added for Round 1

Morning of the race day

Seeing what happened I should have waited longer but you never know

Doh

So many more drivers have dropped out since, was so close to getting in! Is it usually around this time you "lock" the server, be useful in future for those that drop out, and us reserves wanting a go (surprised to find my lap time in the GT4 isn't as bad as I feared!)

Useful for those drivers who drop out - just gonna add a little something on that remark.
The rule is quite clear on that, they should do so within 24 hours of the race, meaning there is plenty of time to re-arrange drivers. Unfortunately some drivers have a real issue and some just wont make it, thats how people behave sometimes. I am not pointing fingers at anyone, most have real good reasons to back out - which is acceptable, but i dont think in the 20 seasons we´ve ever had a season where no-one backed out of.
Now for the the question when servers are locked, i will leave that to Florian or Matej to answer.

 

[Florian Koetz]

if any of the reserves is around and happens to have practiced a certain car you can contact me on ts and get a drive if it happens to be before quali.
If you don't happen to have practiced a car I recommend not to do it

 

[Mike Hanemian]

In there any link for d2 live-timing ?

Unfortuantly there is no timing on SRCA D2.

Ok thanks !

 

[Stefan Kanitz]

9 minutes before the end of the race my game froze. 80 minutes driving for nothing

 

[Alain Setola]

Power supplier issue for me tonight. Pc kept rebooting itself after the first 30 minutes of racing.

Hope to get a new one for the next srca race in order to start racing properly.

 

[David Davine]

Thanks for the cool race, I made some rookie mistakes (1st corner into the wall), but had a fun time after my damage was fixed

 

[Michael Jaggie]

Had a really good race, some nice clean racing guys!
Unfortunately I made 2 misstakes:
1. Jump started because of a lag spike...
2. In the pits, I let my steering wheel a bit loose and lost focus.. Result crashing in the pit lane into the stairs on the left... Race over for me

Hope to see you all next week !

I went on the "if you don't ask you don't get" approach and had a fun evening. Thank you all! Race craft went ok, just need to learn which way round my pit lane and pit request buttons are in the heat of the moment on my new wheel (Fanatec McLaren GT3)...drive through when pitting...then got myself another when taking said pen. Doh!

I'll be doing lots of pit stop practise for next Wednesday! Car felt good and fun to drive!

No Stefan, we will count it as you finished race.
