Server is passworded

Just an FYI. For some reason, the server has the pw in place. No problem for us, but no outside guests can join.

Yes, since I'm not sure if I would be able to tweak it once more
before the race tomorrow due to Internet and electricity troubles, I
set up it ready for the events after I installed the track. It's just
a day away, so it doesn't make much of a difference anyway. In case
I'm missing, Oliver would be taking over as admin and restarting
weekends.

hey fellas
couple of quick questions here:
what's time change between GMT and EST?
do these races start at 3:30pm local or 4:30pm?

the races are 27 laps....
are we obliged to make a pit stop?
if i start with 15 laps worth of fuel,
will it add that automatically when i make the stop?
do the change tires automatically?

anything else i should know
before trying to race?
really just wanna try this out and see
if i have everything set right...

thanks,
simon

I think the difference is 4 hours, so the early start at 19:30 GMT
should be 15:30 EST and 22:30 GMT should be at 18:30 EST. That's the
times when the 30 minutes practice sessions begin.

The races are meant to be around 30 mins long, without fuel stops.
That's the intention anyway and that's how we try to set up the number
of laps. But just in case, keep an eye on your fuel during a race and
if needed, use a bit less engine boost at some point. Most of the time
it won't be necessary, it's usually a problem if you do a lot of
slipstreaming or you have a few offs and spins.

I suggest you test a few pitstops to get used to it and to play around
with the pit settings in the HUD display. It can be confusing if you
haven't done it before, it certainly was for me when I began last
season in Screamers.

Cheers,
