    Well, then it really should be written in the races list.

    Well technically thats only for the wednesday endurance race but like you id just assume those are the time zones used for the other servers as well

    Yeah, I find it quite confusing nonetheless.

    Nothing here:

    In order to know what time they start at I have to correctly make two guesses:
    1) I need to look at a different race's schedule.
    2) I need to look at these random letters and realise these are time zones.
    Like I said in another thread, if a user has to make guesses and their guesses can be wrong, it means there's an issue with the UI.

    ----
    What I think would be more clear:
    - "Servers time zones: ..." at the top of the list.
    - "Server" instead of "Region". We aren't divided by regions in this game and can choose whatever server we want depending on various factors.
    - "All" instead of "Global" (since "all" means "each of them" while "global" means "one for everyone").

    After 3 weeks of full races at Raceroom, I found that this week's races have slowed down. What must have happened? Were the cars and tracks chosen not the drivers' taste? Or did most not have the track and car combinations?

    In the case of this week's GT3, only Nordschleife had an almost full grid.

    Well I can only talk for Britain but people are allowed to meet up outside, well half a dozen are, so maybe with BST on the clocks, people are just grabbing some much needed close communication with their friends and family.
    Not for me though, I have numb hands, so am watching but not driving and dropping a lot of things! :D

    Really? Granted, I haven't done much racing this week due to time-constraints, but I did the 40m Hockenheim yesterday and that had 23-24 players.

    Yes, I participated in the GT3 races at Hockenheimring and they were really full. But I was referring more to the 15 min races Autodrom Most and Slovakiaring only a few times more than 20 cars! But it has already been mentioned, people will not stay in a race simulator every day, there are other things to do! :D

    Is there a reason, why I am not able to join the Silverstone GTR3 Europe 2 Server despite having content and reputation for it?

    No, it is shown in violet color and the "join" button is not there.

    A screen shot would be useful
    As a pink/ coloured zection means its either in quali or race session , also there is a Q/R mention

    I`ve stayed away this week as I don`t like any of the car/track combinations. This is the first time this has happened to me.
    Maybe this week`s selection will be more to my liking.

    Thought the purply colour is you don't have the Reputation or rating to enter.

    I've been thrown away by the server. Maybe due to ping when I were on the lead in second turn.

    So is OK that I become last and get -10 points in rating. But it take me 8 full points in reputation ? This is not fair.

    Yup. But as devs said, if there were circumstances that are not penalized, people would use it to rage quit. For example, if server kicks you because of high ping and it's not penalized, you can throttle your connection to increase your ping and make the server kick you.

    Not arguing the disconnects vs rage quit thing but either way losing 8 points of reputation seems a bit much. If that happened to me thatd mean over a whole year of racing going to waste in the blink of an eye
