Correct sir.

I knew being a developer would come in handy one day

I'm one too but sometimes it still is very able to surprise you

Here are some driver swap notes (courtesy of @JamieG) to make sure driver swaps go as smoothly as possible:

Until Kunos updates the MP Teams events UI, the following points must be adhered to in order to maximise the chances of a successful Team Event Race. The points listed below are very easy to check and require no special skills.

1. Drivers must choose the same car, livery and car number. Team names, if used must be identical for all drivers
2. Do not change your name/tag prior to the race, avoid special characters (see driver list for the event)
3. Driver 1 on the list must join the server first.
4. Avoid &swap # command if possible (# driver 1, 2, 3, etc)
5. We haven’t seen problems in Driver 2 doing Qualy but it is not 100% proven
6. Driver 1 on the list MUST be in car before end of Qualification.
7. Driver 1 on the list MUST start the race.
8. Do not attempt to map buttons after entering the server. Please do it off-line.
9. Do not attempt to enter the car setup if you are not in Drive. It should not be possible but it has happened, resulting in UA4 crash
10. Make sure Driver 1 on the list (who must be the 1st to enter the server) has the right setup for the car since it will be carried over to driver 2
11. In case one of the drivers shows offline status in FP or Qualy, both drivers need to restart ACC and attempt again (driver one first, reload the setup, etc.)
12. In case of offline problems during Race, good luck… Both can rejoin also during Race!

Just to clarify.

At points in that Driver 1 is set as being the first person to connect.

At others it is not clear as to who driver 1 is.

So does the server always consider the first person to join to be driver 1 or is it as listed above where I am driver 1 regardless?

The first person on the list is the one that is configured as the first.

Could we swap my drivers around then please to put KE55ARD first and myself second please?

If that is not too much hassle!

 

[Ricoow]

Server is updated now with the new teams. Teams 2-9 are set up now

Done.

Good point. I have edited the post so that there is no room for misunderstanding for anyone

I am not trying to pick holes just simply trying to make sense of it.

It's my first time doing a team event so just trying to take in all the info

@Ricoow
I've still not heard from @Chris Hack , so I'm going to assume we wont make it tonight im afraid. Sorry its short notice!

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

I haven't had a response from @Kolma Either ‍.

 

[HTIDRaver2k8]

I haven't had a response from @Kolma Either ‍♂.

Perhaps if you two don't have team mates you could join forces?

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

I haven't had a response from @Kolma Either ‍♂.

Nevermind, host messages weren't showing for some unknown reason! We're still 100% in.

Kolma will be there, don't worry.

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

Would

Perhaps if you two don't have team mates you could join forces?

Would have definitely done that though!

 

[HTIDRaver2k8]

See you on track soon!

i'd be happy to jump in with you if your wanting to race?

 

[HTIDRaver2k8]

Super disappointed with that.

My internet died during the formation lap

Neither of us could connect initially, then when we finally could it was in the wrong order and we couldn't swap.

When I finally got sorted I was able to pull out some decent times with a 2:18 being my fastest on the last lap.

Although as it turns out, I DC'd with 3 mins to go

Thanks for organising the race guys.

Better luck next time I guess.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Turns out that gamble with dry tyres did not work @tazza1986

Wet races... just... wet... pls more

 

[Kev Russ]

That was a fun race. First 10 minutes were crazy
