George Talbot · Dec 8, 2011

I can only reveal a little bit of information at this time

March 2012
40+ cars
GT1 & GT2
24 Hours
Live Timing and Live Broadcast

This will be something special I can guarantee you that......

George Talbot · Mar 15, 2012

You can see the teams, when someone is actually on the server, if you click their name on LiveRacers, more info will appear below and It will give a description of their team and sometime number depending on how the VEH file is setup.

Maybe, such question has already been asked here and I`m a bit blind, but can we add some new members to our crew our is it too late now?

Remco de Wildt · Mar 15, 2012

You can edit your driver line up here Vadym

David Jundt · Mar 15, 2012

Just yesterday, I noticed we race the shorter version without the Dunlop-Kehre, which is a bit sad.

Is that right?

Neil Tasker · Mar 15, 2012

lol seem some poeple still seem to ignore the stated way to pit and use the cut in to gain a small advantage, only a test race i guess hopfully there wont be teams doing this in the real race,lol

Its the VLN track not the ADAC 24h layout.

Remco de Wildt · Mar 15, 2012

Really not relevant at all Neil

What is worrying and relevant is the number of spectators, very dissapointing to see that the majority does not care about the whole event and other teams by stressing the server because they want to watch!!! You can not tell me that 25+ spectators are in line for a driverswap over a period of 45 minutes.......................................................................................

Erwin Levasier · Mar 15, 2012

Whe did a lot of driver swaps, and they did not all went well, but fortunately whe saw it on time so whe could do a reeboot.
There where no server problems, Jarno is no doing the last 30 min.

David Jundt · Mar 15, 2012

I think the 24h race used it for some time, then swapped to the full GP track. Anyway, I know it already then

Daniel Schuech · Mar 15, 2012

i ve ask the admin before the race and they said that we can take the pit entry what we want.

So we have used the real pit entry.

Edit: We get to low information about liveracers and there are a lot of problems
I think kthis is why most drivers are going to spectate

Scott Adam Bennett · Mar 15, 2012

Well that went disasterously bad.

Got DC'd seconds before the first attempt at a driver swap so Teemu had to go round again.

Driver swap attempt 2.

FPS dropped from 120 to 20. Got stuck lapping with a stuttery screen (with all graphics on low, usually running 150+ fps on most areas of track) and it just kept jumping from 10fps up to 90, then back down to 10. hit a wall, punctured, tried to get back to the pits but the FPS finished me off and beached it on the kerb 10 minutes from the end

Ole Marius Myrvold · Mar 15, 2012

Why spectate? Teamspeak works well.
(And yes, I do know my teamboss & another guy did spectate on me)

Joakim Skalstad · Mar 15, 2012

But we are on the same computer Ole Marius

Magnus Dahlgren · Mar 15, 2012

Server crashed at the end ?

Roy Magnes · Mar 15, 2012

How many cars were affected by the Stop and Go penalties caused by the formation lap? I did see quite a few of the GT2 cars at least serving a penalty.

We will stay with Liveracers for this event and will not use multiple tools for it.
The teams are indeed not shown but that is far from extremly bad. You can easily look up in the driverslist for which team they are driving, will take only a few seconds

The livetiming does work, unfortunately there seems to be some drop in connection now and then. This is not something that can be easily fixed by Liveracers or RD at the moment.

LiveRacers timing is extra ultra good but dropping connections is getting worse and worse. ie. it usually works for me 1-2 min and then it takes cca. 2 minutes to reload or in some situations it doesn't load at all(errors). To be more exact, I was yesterday trying to help my teammates in GPVWC by saying whats around them. In the end, I didn't do anything because it worked for 30sec and then loaded forever.

LiveRacers timing is good as in idea but if they don't sort out the connection dropping, it's bad.

Shane Burke · Mar 15, 2012

So I'm not only 1 with that problem. I found it bad then out of nowhere it went brill! Then it went little jumpy and gave room to gt1 and crashed it. I'm doing massive work to computer to improve anything now. And people have to understand this ain't a sprint race event! It's endurance so please thInk twice before making risky moves! Theirs plenty of time to make it.

Jan Wim Ensing · Mar 16, 2012

Quite a few. Our GT2-driver got one too. I got suddenly a connection lost while driving after 30 minutes driving. That's strange, because this was the first time in a very long time. Did more people experience problems with lost connections, or was it just me?

Same here.

Ended with 4 FPS and a massive crash in lap 1. Yay.
