GSC is out of sync. Sure I ran it a few days ago, must have failed for some reason. 3gB! Ill be here for the second race only I think

 

[Andreas Knöpke]

The sync shizzle is pretty buggy since the update. I never use it to be honest.

May I suggest smaller gaps between races? I seemed to be twiddling my thumbs between race 1 and 2.

There is no need for another practice session after race 1 and no need for a 5 min warm up either.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

That was fun guys

 

[TeSL9]

Well, i drove too aggressively in both races ... still it was fun and to quali in the middle pack was good, since I have not driven F3 in GSCE alot. and first time at this track with f3.

at least 10 spins.. a few less would have been nice

Yes there is a need actually. The reason for the 10 minute practice between the races is so that people can join just for race 2 (as indeed we had someone join today). We used to have reverse grid but people didn't like it and if people have a disconnect or something it meant they couldn't take part in race 2. Now they can. So, there's two good reasons for you right there..

Warm up was only 3 minutes and some people were telling me it was too short, so it works for some, not for others. Some people need to jump to the loo after quali or practice their start, or see what the car feels like with race fuel (after quali with little fuel). 3 minutes is nothing really.

This format seems to work best right about now. At the end of the day 13 minutes total waiting (excluding quali) is not a lot of time at all. Also, seeing the number of DNFs in race 2, it seems some people could use the extra practice anyway

Edit: Just to add I do appreciate the feedback, and I'll bear this in mind. If I see the club regulars start feeling the same way or a change would be better, I am flexible.

It was almost, but could not finish due to other important business. (yep, some things were more important, strange world; what can be more important than coming back to simracing )

 

[Marco Versele]

I would be nice if someone could upload or make a link to a replay file of the races?

I'll do it when I get home in a few hours, no problem.

Nearly no reaction to my setup? Seems I better not upload them anymore, when they are of no use
