OK :skywalker: Put me back on the list please. Eight try was a charm , today I fired the game up again and clicked multiplayer and it accepted my registration and I was able to get into the lobby. I didnt change anything since my last try so I dont know whats going on ,but its working and thats all that matters! See ya on saturday.

Uh Oh, just realized I signed up for a EVO race on sat also thinking that this would be done by 2100 GMT. Any chance this will be done by 2145 GMT?

Ryan Callan · May 22, 2009

This will be starting AFTER the RDMCC race which is on till 19:50GMT so very unlikely John.

Ryan Callan · May 23, 2009

Any news on a definite start time guys? 1930GMT start for one hour practice perhaps? Give RDMCC guys a chance to join.

Yep, would be nice to know when to show up.

Bram Hengeveld · May 23, 2009

Start Time set at 20:00 GMT. That means that RDMCC (how many are there?) guys need to hurry and directly join this server after their league race to at least join during qualy

Bram Hengeveld · May 23, 2009

I must say I am getting that unpleasant feeling again that with all those late signouts this event is not going to be as I would have expected in the beginning. Put so much time in organising this all.

John Sydenstricker · May 23, 2009

Will the server be back up soon? I need all the practice I can get with the game. It's brand new to me.

Bram Hengeveld · May 23, 2009

Don't know, but there is always offline practice available

John Sydenstricker · May 23, 2009

Yep, thats what I'm doing right now. What a good temp. for these vintage tires?

Ryan Callan · May 23, 2009

No-one knows haha. You can't do too much about it either.

John Sydenstricker · May 23, 2009

My rear tires were running 151F and I managed to bring them down about 8F by raising the press.

Neil Farren · May 23, 2009

Hi guys I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out of this. My mother in law has terminal cancer and is starting to feel very unwell, so my wife has decided, understandably, she wants to spend as much time as possible with her mum as we don't know how much time we have left. So I'm on 'looking after the little one' duty tonight. I hope you have a great race and look forward to reading about it tomorrow.

Stefan Werner · May 23, 2009

Bram, I am very sorry, but I doubt I am gonna make it tonight. Been up for just over 23 hrs now - did I mention I hate my job. lol. Any ways, if I manage to stay awake that long, I will report back in here. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Was really looking forward to this event too.

Neil, sorry to hear about your mother in law. That must be rough.

Ryan Callan · May 23, 2009

Sorry to hear about that Neil

Down to 15 possibles now

- not what I'd hoped for when I bought GTL especially for this event.

Chin Up Ryan,it's gonna be fun and don't forget the rest of the GTL events!

Bram Hengeveld · May 23, 2009

Its really dissappointing and it takes away all my fun to continue with organising things. We had almost 30 drivers signed up and now 15 remain.
Nothing changed how many times we ask for it, it doesnt help

Ryan Callan · May 23, 2009

Have you guys run an offline race with 30 opponents? I did and it looked so awesome, so gutted that won't happen.

Peter Duivelaar · May 23, 2009

Maybe the event is just to late, and that 2 leagues are running at the same evening also doesn't help.

Ryan Callan · May 23, 2009

This starts at 20:00GMT, SLC has more sign ups than this and it starts an hour later.

But yes the league doesn't help, even though were are allowing plenty of time for people to join from RDMCC, these cars aren't THAT dissimilar to drive. Then again, there are only 11 people in the RDMCC tonight......
