Round 1 - International Procar Meeting [Jan 13th]

Unless he does at least one timed lap in qualy, he will have to start from the back. When the server ticks over to race session the grid will be set according to the laptimes set in qualy, if he has no lap set he will have to start from the back.

Official qualifying has begun

mm cannot join

guess qualify is locked and its fine
can i join in warmup still to race?

yeah, I can rejoin either. says the game is full.

I just got kicked and can't rejoin

Do we have to download a srs-file and install it manually?

Timo

Sorry that was our fault, server and mod are set for 27 cars which is a leftover from the testing phase. 
We will issue a new file with 40 cars so that there is room for all the grid and the broadcaster/race control. Stay tuned.

Here is a download link.

--> SRS UPDATE <--

Just drop into your Automobilista install.

Server is now back up with 30 mins of qualifying left. Sorry all time have been lost.

just saw that i didnt confirm for race. Was too excited of getting a car last sunday and getting all ready instead of confirming first. Can i join for warm up to see whether a car would be occasionally be free?

As if you had not raced here before 

yeah i should have taken more care. I posted my presence in the rules thread last sunday instead of in the race thread itself. Anyway good luck to John Thim in the #41. Have a nice race all.

I don't see the use of getting personal like that.

Fact is, I put in substantial time and commitment - nearly 200 laps practice - and lost my drive without breaking any of the rules as written. That isn't opinion, it's simply objective fact. You accepted it yourself.

Anyway, no need for any personal animosity. On the positive side, the rules will hopefully be made clearer and I have learned the correct procedure. All good.

problem with blue flags on this track,i was getting blue flag warnings for most of race when leaders were miles away,then when the leader got to within 200yds i got drive thru lol,even though he was not close enough to pass,so i ended my race there rather than take a needless drive thru

Well,

I dont know if its a mod bug, more likely an game bug..

So, I was getting a message "Step aside for blue flag or youll be penalised" (or something similar), with no actual blue flag as ussual when overlaped, but only text, and no any car behind me.. so its pretty distracting, since my radio spotter warns me all the time.

Then, on the acctual blue flag occasion, I did not stop and let the car pass me, I planed to pick a more convenient place on the track to that, without having to slow down drasticly and risk some accident.. it was with mr. Jason Whited, after he spun at chicane, a lap or two after that.. and then, becose of not stepping aside right away, I got stop/go penalty. Ok, so I enter the pits, but of corse, instead of stop/go, I was getting refueled

Then, full of fuel, I continued the race, and after not getting into pits for stop/go the very first lap out of pits, I got DQd.

Soooooo, is there any special procedure to perform stop/go penalties, and something that bothers me more, if we are supposed to move for faster cars it brakes the philosophy of "keep your line and speed - faster cars (drivers) will pass you". Since I am known as a moving schicane, it meens Ill be stop/goed whole the second half of the race...

any suggestions and thoughs?

besides that...

great mod, great driving and great drivers..

thank you all for making this so nice!

The blue flags were stupid and illogical, must be a track bug. We will revise the settings or maybe even disable them, and revise the results to eliminate the unnecessary penalties. Results are thus still unofficial. 

Thanks for your understanding.

I got that message too, it made me spin trying to read it.

Just by way of providing you guys with info.

Same issue as Steve and Raul. But in my case it were drive-throughs, not stop-and-go's. Got and served two of those even if I think I was not particularly hard to lap .

Timo

Arf, désolé, Petr, j'aurai du te laisser passer !

I had fun tonight. Cheers.

As the blue flag warnings was everywere with no actual blue flags anywhere, I've decided to ignore the warnings and was just reacting to actual blue flags. Everything seems to be fine with that approach.

Anyway, it's my first race here on HSO that I finished, so I am satisfied Hope there weren't any problems with passing me, I did everything I learned over many races as a backmarker.

I didn't last long enough to have any sort of issues with blue flags

I flat spotted the tires early on. Fought with Steve for a while, that was fun...then the flatspots worsened.
I'd been trying to drive them out, hoping they'd fade, but about the time they did, I locked up in the same stupid place, riding the car ahead a bit too close

The last few laps after that, unbearable. My wheel was rattling like all hell.
Not only that, but obviously flat spots that severe have effect on the car itself as well. It was basically dancing up and down

Last lap I managed, the car became violently unpredictable. I nearly bought it a few times, and given that the field was still packed quite thick, I overshot turn 1, locked the brakes a bit, and when I slid into the gravel I called it a day. Didn't want to take anyone else out. Plus, glad I did anyways, wheel had started overheating quite more than I'd want. Really should have called it before I did, but survived to fight the next one...that's good enough for now I guess.

Gosh, maybe it was a drive through, and me, a fool of Took, stoped

It was an excellent race, with no mistakes for me, except when someone putting me in a lap of advantage did not have enough patience and touched the back throwing me off the track.
I also had game messages about nonexistent blue flags.

Well, you turned into me as if i wasn't there at all, and then you gassed it and shot me off the track. So yes, you could have waited On the other hand, my race got screwed up at the start, because i failed to engage the second gear TWICE

No worries, Yves. It's no big deal, shit happens

Great Race Grant and Thiago I was using the lowest gear setting and just couldn't get a run the whole time, the game had a massive lag spike and I just locked it up and went off track . Sorry for the rejoin I did not have one car on the screen only till after i watched the Live Stream I cut a few cars off again I'm sorry for that guys

Fun racing guys. Grant . Happy birthday the rest won't be so easy.
