Not the Jetta, that's not out until the 17th of August. I'm sure someone will post some Lotus screens, maintenance is taking its merry time.

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Jetta available August 17th :wink2:

The service came back up a little bit ago, but now it's back down for maintenance again. I won't be purchasing the Lotus yet(however tempting it may be) as I just purchased the Prototype so I could run the mixed class races, which have been loads of fun. The Jetta won't be around this build though, it will be out in the next 2-3 weeks, I believe the Jetta series starts on August 17th so hopefully it will be out a week or so before then.

Simon & Jamie love diesels

Simon & Jamie love diesels

I like the idea of the Jetta, just not the fact its a diesel.

 

[Simon Trendell]

James TS!!!

Looking forward to the Jetta because it's a FWD touring car, not because it's a diesel
Lotus 79 is way off yet.

 

[Trebor901]

the Jetta will be the first fwd car on iRacing wont it?

 

[Simon Trendell]

It will
Looks like it could be one of the busiest series too

 

[David Barry]

Looks like the service is back up(I got to the main page at least).

I think you're right about the Jetta being busy simon, I'm going to try and start running the mazda this season but I have a feeling once the jetta comes out I'll be spending most of my time running that series.

Edit: Seems the servers are getting slammed with traffic, some internal server errors and my update stopped at 15%. Might have to wait a bit for the traffic to settle down.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

@Keith, do they have some footage online of the real series? I am pretty curious after all the positive stories from Ramon today.

Part 1, then the rest are linked

 

[Trebor901]

i might have to get myself iRacing again then once the Jetta comes, might actually be able to get some descent results with it

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Cool to watch, saw part 7 yesterday. Will watch them all soon

 

[Ricky Willox]

Looks like they are still having some issues with the new site/build. Either that or they are just getting hammered by a whole load of impatient people.

Might just wait until tomorrow when things calm down a bit.

Yea h right where that refresh button

They need better servers, either that or to stop employing Be* tech support.

 

[David Barry]

I think the service is fine, but as you said it's just getting hammered likely due to the new content. When it went up most recently I jumped in a practice server for the mixed class and was tooling around in a DP(I need a lot more practice in this car) and there weren't too many people in the server so I left to see if there were any more open and the service was already down again for maintenance even though the practice server was still runing. The server seemed fine while I was practicing, no lag and 4-5 people in it driving, so I'm guessing it's just main page issues with everyone trying to update and get the lotus or new tracks.

 

[Ricky Willox]

Yea. Hope it comes back soonish would like to see what the lotus is like.

Just completed my first season in the DP and yea practice is something i need a lot more of too. Ian Lake's setup help a lot though really stable and obviously can be driven fast Ian is pretty well up with the rest of the non humans.
