    I just realized that 9:00 Friday PST is our 2:00 Saturday NZT so I was turing up for the thursday events thinking it was a friday! time zones are a pain! :mad:

    (I realized this because you posted this on Saturday the 6th but i should have realized this before)

    @Sonat Ozturk it would be great to get this feature in ASAP since most leagues won't want to start without pitting etc... :)

    I think that fuel set to norm for races 20 min long should not be a problem, but yes I agree regarding about turning it off in longer races (as the one that'll come up tomorrow > GTR2 @ Portimao 45 min endurance race!)
    Regarding the damage, I'd like not to turn them completely off as people would pay more attention and drive more carefully to avoid not completing the race.
    I can lower them to forgiving tho...

    Planning to put Tyre wear 2x tomorrow (or 3x?) on Portimao to "kindly suggest" to pit in! ;)

    no the damage model is inconstant I have lightly tapped the wall and completely lost the car and smashed it and drove away plus people who want to use the clutch will not be able to.
    if you want a pit stop to be more effective in a 20 min you probably need at least times 3 if not times 4

    I ran a WTCC race today and had to pit even though most didn't...because of tire wear...it was pretty cool.

    No I meant tomorrow on Portimao (45 min race)... 2x seems decent no?
    Ok for the damage model... I'll turn it off. Thanks for the headsup!

    mabey times 2 will be ok im not sure because prefrebly we eather want players to make the choice between 1 and 2 stops or 0 and 1 stops so we can get some close finishes with stoppers chasing down non stoppers.

    My choice would be 2x and 3x... but having done no real test so far I cannot tell... I assume then we'd like to have a 3x enabled?

    we got a couple new boys (non forum) and so far so good our new friend Bernie seems about the same pace as me and we've had some good (clean;)) races

    our wtcc races are funny cause we all just use the beemer due to 1.closer racing and 2.us all being slow noobs

    OK guys, recap of the situation.
    Sorry about the lag-fest that was plaguing the server. I don't know if that happened because of server being too weak or because of bugs of some sort...
    @Sonat Ozturk could you tell what'd be the recommended specs for a server being able to handle say 15+ users? What rental server are you using in the US?
    I'll put on hold the events planned in the calendar (cause noone can really race in these conditions) but I want to make a second test tomorrow by reducing latency in upload as much as I can on my server side and wanna try and see how it's the connection with the US guys only.
    Thanks to everyone for the patience and your time.
    Really appreciated and sorry it went that way... :(
