After adding to the whitelist you will also need to rs the mr auth cache, maybe also the mr app.

I will take a look anyway now and see if its added properly then rs all servers if empty.

MG the servers run minorating which is a Iracing type driver filter. This allows any public with a high rating of clean driving into the servers but also any xgn members not yet rated will be added to the whitelist and allowed access. The advantage of running MR allows more people to join the servers but not need to worry about general pub server type kiddies.

For XGN members ot will also rate your driving in the servers allowing ypu to later join any other servers running minorating.

I checked and it seemed the MR auth cache wasnt restarted after Phil added MG to the whitelist. You should be able to get into the Tuesday and Thursday XGN practice servers now even if your rating isnt high enough. The Marty's servers are running a test MR auth atm so the whitelist is not in effect there atm see this thread for more info there.

After finally getting onto the server...thanks Marty.

There were about 5 of us on the server late last night and it was my first time in the Praga and it reminded me of a big go cart with a roof and a windscreen which cracks to the point of being a hazard from not much impact! Snappy oversteer and horrible power understeer but that was more than likely the setup and me but a lot of the other guys where also having spins in strange places as well...overall I didn't like it, under braking my car would go into big oversteer very unstable then if I caught that which 9 outta 10 times I didn't it would dump truck push thru the next corner then go straight into huge power oversteer. Weird!

The track...😬 😳 😒. Very tight and twisty with a long straight, very tricky, I don't know if it was me, the car or the setup but I could not get it to do the same thing 2 laps in a row....probably just me as atm I really suck and have no clue how to make a car drive better by chasing the setup but I wouldn't recommend using this track for any series races, the other guys were saying the same thing, there was no room to pass and not enough power from these cars to get it done anyway unless the driver in front of you made a mistake, which happened with monotonous regularity! This car definitely isn't my cup of tea!

I guess if you worked on a set for about 4 hours and you knew what to do (which I don't) you could/maybe get it to handle a little better but for me it was too unpredictable and I couldn't push because like I said it wouldn't handle the same for even 2 consecutive laps for me!
Not enough power, no torque and it lacks that high pitched scream which for me is the one thing that gets me going, I love the BMW because of how it sounds and hate that McLaren MP4-12C because it has no sound for a twin turbo V8 🙄 ☹️.

I just woke up from a crap 5 hour sleep so iam rambling on here probably making no sense so I will leave it at that and see what the other guys who were on the server with me last night thought about the car 😉. Back to sleeeeep now 😌.

Everything you're saying is the complete opposite to how I found it  ;D
