    Excuse my total ignorance but what is a "support race"?

    It would not be multiclass, but it would be 2 races. First a shorter Cup race to get into the mood, then the highlight, the FR 90 race. Like at a real racing event.

    We received a few incident reports at the Spa 2,4h race:

    Server 4
    Kiesekamp vs. Constanzo, Last lap last corner
    Kiesekamp gets passed by Constanzo outside of track limits. Kiesekamp brakes late into bus stop, and gives Constanzo a bit of a push, but Constanzo also turned in really early for having a car on the inside.
    Constanzo gets sent a bit off the track, and then hits Kiesekamp hard in the left hander, costing him 2 positions

    20 second penalty - Maurizio Constanzo

    Server 1
    Martien vs. Noghera, L37 Les Combes and L40 La Source
    On L37 Noghera taps the back of Martien. He gets into a slide and recovers, while Noghera waits. According to the spirit of special events, it's not a penalty.
    On L40 Noghera brakes too late into Les Combes and hits Martien into a spin, who then hits the wall.
    Martien's re-entry was dangerous too! Always watch out for the traffic!

    10 second penalty - Giacomo Noghera
    Warning - Thomas Martien

    Results will be updated in a moment

    A proper Quali and Racesession would be nice for the training on the server..

    It would mean that people are locked out of the practice server for a long time while the race is on though. Practice server does its job fine as it is. If you want to do race simulations to assess fuel/tyre wear the single player works well. There are usually "unofficial" practice servers that pop up which have a longer race session.

    I meant at least a Racesession would be nice. Even 30 minutes of racepace is pretty helpful. But yea you might be right. In this case I would recommend big time of qualisessions in stead of trainingssessions. Then there are less sessionsjumps :)

    That was a hard race. I was on server3, qualified third and had this place 20 minutes until a stupid mistake. Nothing lost so far, but i've ruined my pitstop (hit the wrong button on my button box in the dark) and lost almost 30 seconds. Finished 4th, 5 second behind the third . F*ck!
    Thanks for this very fair race on server 3 all there!

    Thanks for the fair race to all.

    I was on Server3 (JC Manzano). This was my first multiplayer long event. I enjoyed a lot. Close to the end, Ihad to make a pit stop due to tire degrading :( Returning to race on 11. Finally, when I reached 5th, I don't know what happened with an other car moving on zig zag on the track and I crash it. I finished the race on 8th almost overtake by Stefan M. Great Race!

    Unfortunately, there was no stream from Server 2 on Saturday ...
    I made the effort and made a little video of the startup phase, onboard from my Corvette.
    Have fun =)
