It was on the same day last time but I'm not sure of Desertpenguin schedule this week. But it will definitely be soon.

I really don't like doing it this way and
If it wasn't for the issues we had in the first practice I would let anybody in this Tuesday. But because there was I have to make sure those issues are taken care of between everyone running in my race.

This is not a common routine and I really wasn't expecting this many problems seeing as how my Gr.4 endurance race has never had to deal with anything like this.

That’s just the state of the game more than anything different happening with this series. Lobby racing has been awful lately.

Does this practice HAVE to be on a Tuesday night? If so, that's fine, just have another commitment.

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's on Tuesday because I figured everyone was available on Tuesdays. I can host a practice lobby tonight if you're around and maybe others will join in.

 

[Rinsky]

Unofficial Practice lobby.

Closed

 

[Clean Racer]

I'll be at tomorrow night's practice session. Looking forward to it. The practice sessions I have been in so far have been a lot of fun.

Lobby 1
@Rinsky @Macboyilija @Infineon @Venster @WhiteFlight1 @Ares85 @Tieske026 @AustinR53 @AutechSkyline @whiteusagi @LineR32 @Booonus @mikee60 @LentePool @MissingBacon

Lobby 2
@DesertPenguin @Clean Racer @fastone371 @bloodyboyblue @aceboy127 @Tom aka newb @micantony @Nick Cannella

Can everyone please post if they can make it tonight and/or tomorrow. Thank you for your time.

 

[Rinsky]

So here is a good one.

Just did a practice session with @WhiteFlight1 and @LineR32

Not only could lineR32 not see me but he couldn't see himself in the lobby. Now that's a new one on me.

Once we started the race he then could see himself again but everyone else disappeared. The lobby issues are becoming a joke and I fear we won't be able to run this Series or my Gr.4 race if they don't fix this problem in the update.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

I will be there tomorrow for sure

 

[Nick Cannella]

I will pop in for a bit tonight. Most likely after 9pm Eastern time

 

[DesertPenguin]

My legs are still killing me from my drive back from vacation today so I'm gonna sit tonight out. You're more than welcome to start up a lobby with the proper settings. 👍

 

[whiteusagi]

Regarding the official practice/test race, I should be able to attend. However, while I am signed up for lobby 1, would it be possible to attend the practice/test for lobby 2? The reason being is lobby 1 would be 4am (which I am indeed prepared to attend on October 2), while lobby 2 would be a more reasonable 10am in my time zone. If it is strongly preferred that drivers attend the practice/test lobby they are signed up for on race day, I should still be able to make it to the lobby early tomorrow morning.

 

[Clean Racer]

I will make the practice session but I may not be visible to others, myself or Poliphony Digital. LOL JK

 

[MissingBacon]

I'll attempt to make lobby one. Fingers crossed I wake up

 

[mikee60]

i'll be there tonight...

 

[Booonus]

I'm in for tonight. Macboyilja is working on my livery. It's a replicadesign of a racecar (BMW) I raced (in real live) for a few years.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Damn I'm envious!

 

[AutechSkyline]

Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to attend the practice for lobby 1.

 

[Macboyilija]

I am waiting for instructions. We will experiment a bit with entering the room. Please check this topic.

 

[Rinsky]

Lobby is closed.

Replay is up

 

[Macboyilija]

This was fun !

 

[Macboyilija]

 

[Nick Cannella]

Looks awesome fellas!

 

[Macboyilija]

Yeah it was great to drive. Cant wait for the start of the season !

We had some minor issues. Positive is that during the start 10 out of 10 people could see eachother untill the 11th came in. Suddenly some could not see everybody anymore. We are looking into that.

But overall no one was stuck at the grid ! So pretty positive myself. I am sure Rinsky will post some more on the subject.

 

[DesertPenguin]

@Clean Racer @fastone371 @bloodyboyblue @aceboy127 @Tom aka newb @micantony

You guys ready to race tonight? We're going to skip the 20 minute race and do all 40 to test out the pit strategy.

 

[Clean Racer]

Ready!

 

[aceboy127]

Planning to be there, but might be late.

 

[whiteusagi]

Unfortunately I was unable to join lobby 1 as my alarms apparently failed to ring. I am terribly sorry for being unable to participate and will make sure that doesn’t happen for Oct 2. That being said, would it be possible to join with you guys for lobby 2 for today?

 

[DesertPenguin]

Lobby up. Friends only and I'm pretty sure I have everyone but if not send a FR to DesertPenguin09
