RD MINI Challenge 2020

[Bram Hengeveld]

Just a couple of people who can't race tomorrow I expect.

Oh wait, I see what you mean. It's jumped from 24 to 43 slots. @Bram Hengeveld?

nah that's just the track acception more slots than we set in the series. It's bug that is being fixed soon

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Tonight at 18:30 UTC / 19:30 BST / 20:30 CEST / 21:30 EEST the RD MINI Challenge server is launched, if you need any practice beforehand you can make use of the practice server which details are listed on the event page here https://beta.simracing.gp/championships/-D2TmSeuryA4DRkuTWCNo

IMPORTANT: If you can't make tonight's race make sure to cancel your registration way up front so those who missed out can enter the series. Please don't be that guy that takes up a slot and doesn't show up.

Enjoy the race and have fun with the other drivers tonight. All the best.

PS We still have a few slots left for late joiners, so if you fancy some MINI Cooper action sign up here https://beta.simracing.gp/championships/-D2TmSeuryA4DRkuTWCNo#registration

I can’t make it next Friday so I need to withdraw. Have fun.

The series only counts 3 out of 4 races, so stay in

 

[Ross McGregor]

In that case I’m back in!

had a really nice Simracing opportunity come up next Friday, so had to take it. Glad I can still give this a go!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

In that case we have two slots left 22/24

Hey mate, I'd love to join, but it seems somehow I'm not in the RD community on SGP any more. Just sent you my e-mail

My humble suggestion @Bram Hengeveld for next year's Mini Challenge: could we do it on a Saturday or Sunday instead? Racers like myself over in the Americas would like to participate but it falls in the middle of our work day; the weekend gives a lot of us more flexibility...the only reason I can actually make this one is because of COVID lockdown (I'm a high school teacher) and that I happen to have no classes to teach during those 1.5 hours.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

The beauty of SGP is that everyone can start a group or community and host races on the time that suits them best.

For myself Saturday or Sunday are not an option after a monster workweek. And this day is also a tribute to our MINI Friday events

But in 2020 and onwards you will be able to race in leagues that fit you like a glove 24/7 on simracing.gp

 

[BP]

Ok no problem, I understand.

 

[Chris Down]

Oh, and as usual, I plan to record my VR onboards. I'll mute Discord for that reason when racing. Let me know if anyone has any objections

@Benutzername the test server runs the wrong track layout

@Benutzername the test server runs the wrong track layout

Wait what?

 

[Benutzername]

We run the "Boot" Version, don't we? Seems fine to me?

Simracing.GP:

Server:

Enlighten me, please. In case it is the wrong version, I have to apologise to everyone who used the server as a training ground. Sorry :/

 

[UMC 22]

We runthe "Boot" Version, don't we?

I hope that's the correct version because that's what I've been using for the past week in offline practice too...

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Yes we are running the booth version but without the chicane. That will not go well in the first round

The correct track name is (now also on SGP): Watkins Glen Boot Classic

 

[Chris Down]

That has a different name, "Boot Classic" -- I guess SRGP is not configured correctly maybe?

Ah, I see you edited your comment after this

Ah, I see you edited your comment after my quote

And the site is updated now, too.

Sadly I am unable to change the server to the classic server for the moment.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

No worries mate, it's great it's online for a little racing.. See you guys in a few hours!

Edit: all slots are taken 24/24!

 

[Ross McGregor]

No chicane! Ace!
