@Flammenjc it just does that, because it uses the results files from both servers, where technically the guys in server 2 did 'win' a race. Don't worry, it won't interfere with the standings.

Well, not being funny but it's not a win if its a classification of 29th or whatever.

It confuses the overall results when you see Walk Racing for instance in 2nd place and they supposedly have 2 wins but they only have one.

wow one place better and I would still be in server 1 is that right? Beside the top 5 who have presedence to spots as I know there is some absences.

Those that didn´t finish 75 % server 2 or those that didn´t finish 75 % server 1?

I know you're not being funny; and I agree it isn't a win, I mean the results file takes it as a win. It is one of the down sides of having two servers, which really isn't that big a deal if it means 15 or so more people get to race. There's nothing I can do about that, it's just how the results files work (they don't know they are a 'second' server) And as I said, it won't bother the results, just look at the points column. Not ideal, but not really that much of a problem in the big picture. The program takes both results files, attributes points to each race, and combines them into one big table.

You'd need to finish 23rd or higher to stay in server 1.
Promotion/Relegation is server specific and based on final race position in each server. A note that absentees will be classified as having not started the race (DNS) and therefore be last in S1, and get relegated for the next round.

You can't take the glory of winning away from the server 2 guys. A win is still a win. I'd rather win a race in server 2 than be 20th in server one. But that's just me.

But I wouldn't be chasing the overall championship because I'm not that good.

Nox · May 11, 2015

Good point Andy, but your POV is more about how you feel about the race. Technically Jake is right. A win in server 2 isn't a win, it is finishing 29th overall. Personally, however, you can feel however you like about it - I finished 3rd in server 2, I'll take that as a podium in that race, but no, not in the league.

Andy_J · May 11, 2015

Agreed Andrew. I'd have to do bad once in server 1 next race just so I could go good in server 2 again and try and get a podium.

Nox · May 11, 2015

What we've seen though is that you can do well in server 2 and do better than those who do badly in server 1, such as the points table now show some guys from Server 2 higher up the points table than some from server 1.

Pär Öqvist · May 11, 2015

Okay so we may have 23 runners in server one. The absences will not be replaced. Good to get more people running in server 2 I suppose.

Server 1 will always have 28 drivers, so yes, the absences will get replaced.

Pär Öqvist · May 11, 2015

Okay then it´s a good chance I am in server one then

edit: I am an asshat. I am supposed to celebrate my mothers 70 year old birthday. I have only known it for three months long enough to forget about it... I am off filing an absence report

Nox · May 12, 2015

Well, you'll be replaced in round 2 and start round 3 in the second server.

Warren Schembri · May 12, 2015

Had a good start in the second server and was going well. Close battles all the way around with Antonio, Jonathan and Andrew.
20 minutes into the race, I made a mistake that required pit repairs. While this was going on, my wife calls me. Normally if she calls, it means that there is some kind of emergency so I escaped out of the game thinking something is going on.

Get upstairs and she asks if I recognize the actor on tv..............
