Great work Ramon!!!

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

Lets clear up how this system works, I see lots of questions about times still not on the pre-qualify list.

Our raceservers creates so called resultfiles with each driver and laps in it. This resultfile is only created after a session switch (restart qualify session). During the session the resultfile is almost empty and not usable at that time.

Our scripts reads the resultfile and check if its an current (open) session or a finished session.
When its finished its processed and output is created to make all time visible on our timing website.
The scripts run at the moment every full hour and is not related/linked to session switches.

Worse case scenario example:
15.00 - The script processed the resultfiles
15.01 - A session change (qualify restart) occurs
15.05 - Driver does a hotlap
16.00 - The script processed the resultfiles (BUT THE SESSION IS STILL OPEN)
16.01 - A Session change (qualify restart) occurs
17.00 - The script processed the resultfiles

As you can see a driver could have done a time at 15.01 and his time is only visible on the website after 2 hours!!!

So all be patient if your time does not show up right away.

How to join/leave the pre-qualify session:
You can just enter the qualify session and leave as you like. Your time will be remembered as long as the server is running.

[Simon Trendell]

I'm pleased to have just broken the 2.04 barrier. Currently 18th overall

EDIT: Another 0.5 off mid 2.03's

Edit2: And yet, two hours later despite improving by 0.5 I'm no higher

 

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

Greger, Dom it would be nice to race against you. I use your setups since the GPL period so for me it is a honour to race against you.

Maybe i can learn a bit more this way too, but i don't expect i will manage a G1 position with the Alfa.
