If I don't rev it then dump the clutch, it barely goes anywhere.
This is normal behaviour from my end (it's always been like that).
It seems the pulling away easily is the bug. ???

I'm going to disregard pit lane speed penalties as AC 1.3 broke apps' ability to tell when a car is in pit lane, until if and when we get an AC fix.

Does this mean last week's results will be adjusted?

Yeah, I should, for fairness.

I've also checked the ballast allocation and I hadn't used the adjust kg/sec after the stats from round 1, which reduced the ballast amount a little. The new ballast is:

 
Bacchulum0
Bafs170
Chap1110
christopheraser0
EdWood92
Freezer0
G0RGAK0
Grat118
Grubbet18
Guybrush Threepwood130
Jeremy174
Joe28
Mael0
Marty100
Matthew111124
Phil.875
Rolz0
Schmittez0
Simone0
Skaife119
StanDaam16
Wally21
Will78
For the curious, the current ballast amount is 53 kg slows your lap time down by 1% (i.e. 1 second over a 1:40 lap). Measured and averaged over multiple racers, not guessed.

I have reset the practice server with the current ballast levels, also made it open to 24 cars and as a test have set the entry list in order of ballast from lightest to heaviest. This should meant that any non listed people should get the next available car and most likely this will be with no ballast. As it was general public would join in and may get stuck with the 100kg + ballast and this will make them leave or struggle quite badly.

Server's up. It's cold at Silverstone... 13/14 degrees.

It's looking a lot like I'm not going  to get to race tonight :(. Internet's been out for over 2 hours and doesn't look like it's going to come back any time soon.

Bad luck, mate. Don't you just hate that.... I had one week where my internet went out at the start of the race night, and came back at the end. Perfectly bad timing. Still... that's better than bombing out half way through a race.
