Race #09, Belgium: Race Briefing

[Pambos]

Guys are we going to race or not?
Lets do 2 GRIDS for Qualify and finished.

 

[loukoumoui]

next weekend is f1
so i prefer tomorrow before wc

 

[superiorgr]

well i dont think that 4gb exe faults, why only on this track we had this problem, in all tracks we were for sure more than 28 players... and we never had somekind of this problem, so i think its something else, and for today we can have 2 qualify groups, an then will see 22 players max for grid 1
if announce the 2 groups names, will solve the mess we had today... the better solution, if we finally race today

 

[Thomas Mundy]

next weekend is not F1 loukoumoui. Your going to be disappointed if you think there is F1 next week.

If you have only 22 guys in a grid then you are going to have some guys who unfairly miss out on more points and it will skew the whole championship. Guys stop arguing and just accept the decision otherwise we could be here all week and none of this helps the situation at all.

 

[Tume]

Yep it's the summer break of F1.

It depends on the track if the track has more detail or something else it takes more ram also it depends what settings you play on and resolution there many factors this is just the most common thing that happens in rFactor that instantly got my mind when I heared that people are crashing since we were 32 cars on a detailed track and all the cars have good detail. I mean atm I'm sitting alone on the server and it takes up like 400-500 mb I haven't looked in it when it was 32 cars but I guys it was like 2000-3000 mb something in that range.

 

[superiorgr]

admins, i can help, we can do 2 qualifys, for example... if we are 32 cars, we can do preq1 with 16 cars and a preq2 with another 16 cars, then according to the laptimes, we can see the top 22 drivers, then we can do the main qualify and then second main qualify of top 10, its so simple in order to complete the todays race... i prefer this (my oppinion at all)

@Sebastian Kunze
well mate... i agree, so look what i write here, we can solve that problem for today at least

 

[Jonathan Holmes]

Yeah I was getting runtime errors when cars joined, lets hope that patch fixed it. My game runs fine all week until race day Same for valencia!

 

[David Dominguez]

The track has been fixed, there is a new update on Simsync. I have to look to the calendar, but I think next week should be a good option.

 

[Thomas Mundy]

Yes but that still doesnt work. What about the 4 guys that miss out? They could quite rightly protest because of the lost points for their team and themselves or the fact that they would normally be able to run in Grid 1. Besides which most guys will have gone offline now so its too late to take any other decision than to delay.

 

[Pambos]

No Sorry i cannot sit home another one weekend.
We have to do it today. End of Story.

 

[superiorgr]

nice job, but why not today? no matter why we late, its hard for many of us for next Saturday... we will have maybe holidays... that was programmed

 

[Tume]

I'm not sure if I can make it next week, as I was expecting the race today...

 

[Thomas Mundy]

Erm because some are offline already and WS starts soon. Any more reasons wanted?

 

[Rob van Starkenburg]

Why would most off the guys be offline by now, normally the race would have start like 7 minutes ago. If there is a problem with pitboxes ore whatever. The problems mide be very small. There is still plenty of time to race now. xd

And world series starts in 5 hours, plenty of time!!!

 

[Tume]

WS starts soon? WT was intented to start now and WS is held in the evening.

 

[Sebastian Kunze]

Guys we can't do it today. It was canceled and many guys are now doing other things that they might have put aside for doing this race it would be unfair to do the race today since it was already canceled. I know its a bit wierd but thats how things go

 

[Ville Leppala]

Yup, i wont be able to drive saturday next weekend so im gonna miss yet another wt race. Lucky me!

 

[Pambos]

Scott we dont care if someone went offline.
What about us who stay 1 hour here? Do toy think this is fair for us?

 

[superiorgr]

i dont think they are offline, because this is the time that we already race another days, so whats so big problem? only 1-2 guys will not participate... the rest i think they are here
