Frank van Oeveren doesn't have time today, so I'll serve as a substitue.

@Paul Thomas
We'll be driving without track-/grip- dynamics, that means no grip buildup and optimum track conditions.

• Penalties will be enabled during this event.
• Time of day will be set at 14:00h for Qualifying.
• If anything goes wrong with the server, please leave here a message immediately.

Please ignore the quote. I figured out what I was going to ask, but I can't see any way to cancel the quote/reply!

But now I have another question: I just ran out of fuel after 12 practice laps; how does refueling work? Do you go into your pit and stop, and automatically get refueled? Sorry for the ignorant question, but this will be my first race...

No probs Ernest.
I have to check the fuel capacity of the lotus. The drivers shouldn't need to refuel at this point in time.
If you run out of fuel, come to a standstill, go back to pits, your car will be automaticaly refueled.

Edit: What amount of fuel did you start with? Was the tank full?

 

[Cayd]

Yeah , it is before 5 GMT isnt it?

 

[Georg Siebert]

Yeah , it is before 5 GMT isnt it?

No, it is exactly 17:59 gmt.

 

[Georg Siebert]

You only had 30 liters of fuel in your car , Ernest. Just put 65 liters in and you'll be fine

 

[Cayd]

ahh okay sorry

Edit: Looking at the timezones I booked out 5 mins before the deadline...

 

[Georg Siebert]

@Cayd Breslin

You sign out message reads 17:47 gmt, post #25 here.
The notes, you have agreed to adhere to by signing up, read:

If you can't book in time make sure to sign out before 17:00 GMT [...]

That is 47 minutes too late, sorry.

 

[Ernest Aubert]

I left... I never got the steering working to my satisfaction, and I couldn't do anything but be an impediment to you guys who know what you're doing. Have a good race.

Edit:
Also, I saw a little pop-up window at the top of the screen each time someone completed a lap; it would give the user name and lap time. I never saw one of those when I crossed the line. Does everyone normally see their own?

 

[Cayd]

But on the post it says booking starts at 18:00 but because its summer it starts at 19:00, doesnt that apply for booking?

Cayd, listen, I'm not going to argue with you further.
You are / were not present at the event and I'm going to count that as a no-show with the ensuing consequences.
----------------
@Morne Du Plooy
A no show for you as well.

@Paul Thomas
You left early, what happened?

This message is normal and can't be deactivated. Before the patch on Friday, you could see your lap time as well.

 

[TobiasR]

Thanks for putting this on. Always a blast to drive the Lotus. Love the vintage cars for AC

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

so sorry guys.. I got home later than expected!

 

[Akis]

Man, I love this track.
Nice race everybody! GJ @Tobias Röhner ftw!

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

@Georg Siebert So does a "No Show" count against our name ? The sign up list was half empty though?!

I got stuck at work, so surely thats understandable.

I should've used my cell phone to "unregister" for the race , but I was too busy.

Sorry again for missing the race.
