    Quite enjoyed the race. The start was a mess. I guess a bit of lag mixed with the usual chaos. Received a tap from behind going through Raidillon which sent me into a cool looking slide and put me almost last. Kept on going, dodged/second guessed the various spinners, didn't make any mistakes and finished 7th.

    The first attempt with 48 cars didn't go so well. At some point, I'd say 40+ drivers, all "non-p2p" cars started flickering, while the p2p-connections remained stable. Unfortunately, not every car close to me got a p2p-connection, so it became undriveable.
    After the server was restarted with 36 slots everything worked flawlessly. No lagging or disappearing cars, good pings and tons of fun with the new GT3 Physics. Great job!:)
    The only sad thing is that no more than 15 cars made it to the finish.:confused:

    Maybe it would be a good idea to announce these test races a few days in advance and name a concrete starting time.
    Even with password protection this should get enough drivers together for a full grid.
    Also, everyone would know that the race is for testing purposes - and therefore (hopefully) not leave the server after every little accident.

    At what time did the server closed?
    I wanted to help but I guess I was late.

    I mostly play single payer because the p2p for me is really bad :( and i tried multiplayer again today, but i am hopeless, no way i can start the race without crashing with cars teleporting from one place to another.
    I want to play online the most but cant do it in this conditions.

    Thank you guys for last night!

    Server's still up at 36 spots. It will stay up for a while, I removed the password. I hope the [TEST] label will make unaware players understand bugs are to be expected...

    Maybe should you add "BETA" along side TEST ;)
    It will be more obvious, otherwise it could be understand as some random test dedicated server for those who aren't aware.

    There were only 2 of us on it when I was on last night :( Might get a few more if you tweet it again like the first night and perhaps change the track to Nords :) I only had the one issue noted above so far.

    Yeah going to change the track, but Nordschleife is heavy on RAM and I wanted to make sure crashes related to running out of memory weren't interfering.

    I was driving there alone when I was thrown out, about an hour ago. Probably the reset, because I didn't see the server when I came back in the menu.
