anyone getting a cannot retrieve server list after the ac update? :(AC update?? I'd be surprised if there were any further updates.It seems you're not alone:
Hm...yet another track where the short tail will be schooled on the straight, and no way to take the position back later. Not complaining, just stating the facts ;)You're only 0.15 off of Kcender's C9 time!
I've managed a decent low 37 but I'm burning up the rears after a lap or two...:/
The last bit was always a weak part for me on this layout, I reckon in the proper hands the shorty could do a 36 no probs. I just can't get the last 3 corners done properly, especially the 3rd last, I keep losing grip there (as usual for me).

Might be time to start adding ballast back to the Shorty!!
The Shorty has barely been in the top 10 all season . . . so not sure why we keep talking about penalising it!

...and an extra manadatory pit stop to the c9 to even the pit times out :D
No, I reckon even as it is, it's a penalty that you have to try and get past on the twisties, not comfortably on the straight. The pit stop & fuel usage is an added burden, still.

No, you'll just make it lighter. :oThe Shorty has barely been in the top 10 all season . . . so not sure why we keep talking about penalising it! Practice server lap times are not at all reflective of the racing reality.
The restrictions are not meant to be fair, it is there to help the Long-tail win. As the esteemed cricket team showed its all about winning and not how you play :P Now I'm wondering; if I attack the C9 with a bit of sandpaper would it slow it down?
Tonight!!!.......My goal is.........to beat Bird.Beat your own bird you pervert!

Exactly. Race wise the Shorty and Mazda produce some close racing, but we've had zero chance against the longtail or C9s as they smoke us on the straights, slow us down in the corners but can't get past and even if we manage a pass due to a mistake they'll smoke us on the next straight.
From pre-season I ranked the cars, fastest to slowest:
C9
Longtail
Shortail
Mazda
so I never understood the shorty getting restriction of any kind. ???
Should be an interesting race.
Shorty will lose all hope after the long pit stop of course.
Almost, but that's not a whinge, just a statement of confusion. ;) 8)From pre-season I ranked the cars, fastest to slowest:

Going by my car time ranking, using a sample size of about 170 instead of 1, the shorty lap times were on average roughly 0.5 seconds faster than the long tail. I also wanted to penalise the shorty slightly for being somewhat easier to drive than the other cars, to encourage people to drive the harder cars. What I didn't take into account was that the shorty is slow to refuel.Almost, but that's not a whinge, just a statement of confusion. ;) 8)From pre-season I ranked the cars, fastest to slowest:

The night race started bad, a first lap incident with Keith (20% my fault/80% his I would judge) which caused a red nose and some interesting handling.
Luckily the pitlane was close at hand, repaired the damage, put on some hard boots and tried to make it 40 minutes on one tank of fuel. But the hard tires turned out to be a bad idea, the car just would not turn!Just looking at the results and realised that in my haste to pit after my lap 8 crash, I have thrown on hards also which was costing me around 2 seconds a lap . . . dooh!
Also managed to finish ahead of my team mate, must have been a horror night Freezer!Yeah wasn't the best but both crashing and wrong tyres were my own silly fault . . . so can't complain!
Joe must have just nicked my rear bumper as I passed causing a 90 degree turn into the rather solid walls of Watkins Glen.
