We are going to run a second non-points race in addition to the Cobra Cup championship race during the next Thursday season. The second race will be "mixed" grid achieved by running the server with a password rather than a pre-defined entry list. This potentially results in driver names being different in each race. This is because:
1. In a server with a pre-defined entry list based on GUIDs it is the driver name in the entry list that determines the online driver name
2. In a password server it is the name in a user's profile that is used as the online driver's name. There is FIRSTNAME/LASTNAME and NICKNAME in the profile. If FIRSTNAME/LASTNAME is present then that becomes the online driver name regardless of NICKNAME. If FIRSTNAME/LASTNAME is empty then NICKNAME Is used.
I would like to ask that everyone delete FIRSTNAME/LASTNAME and set NICKNAME to the same name as the one given to Wally for Tuesday League entry. I will then make sure the names in the Cobra Cup sign-up list match that list.
Hopefully this is ok by everyone (and makes sense !)
Thanks
