I dont have a Ghost folder so seems if you have ghost disabled it never even makes the folder, its the first thing I turned off in AC. If using stracker on a server you can select any other lap as the comparison lap and this then lets you use that lap as your realtime delta. Though that doesnt help here but in the Tuesday practice server you can give that a go.

I checked our next tennis season and that starts up in a couple weeks so unless its raining I wont be able to make many races, with the practice server being used here I dont know if Phils is paid up in advance or if he pays just for up time. I could fairly easily host the server on mine if anyone would want stracker running. On my instance I am able to run 6 servers without issues but they arent getting all that much use anyway. So I could also host the thurs practice if that saves Phil some money as my server is paid up for 12 months and it costs no more to keep them up 24/7.

Thanks marty, we have a few month of credit yet on the server, but after that if the offer still stands it could be handy

My server just got renewed this month so got nearly 12 months left still, let me know when yours is up and I can host your prac server. You could even run it for your race nites Id only need to give you admin access to it as I may not be around that many Thurs nites.

We could run two different track in the fun run this Thursday to try out a longer track? I did some testing and it is OK on the longer tracks.

That paul ricard wtc track is not too bad though, mostly I think Vallelunga club would be better replaced with Vallelunga classic from your track list. As the club version feels like doing laps in a bathtub even with a slow car.  ;)

You could also try 1 longer track though to see how these cars would go in a bigger circuit.

Yes. I think Vallelunga Classic is actually the best combo.

Good fun tonight. Was not as close racing as I had expected.

I am away next week  however another practise night next Thursday at the same track might be a good idea? The car-track combo is pretty good and giving poeple a second chance at the same combo would be useful.

Also.....

Phil has offered to run a "coaching session" during the practise time 8pm-8:30pm for anyone interested in getting a handle on these little cars.

See you at the Redbull Ring for Round 1!!!

The coaching session is a good idea. Phil had so much more pace. Maybe fixed set ups would be good too?

@Wally, it would also be great if we could turn PLP lights on/off on the night. I have set PLP to be on for Tuesday and Thursday. Last night I dismissed the app which turned the lights off for me but the 20sec penalty was still issued. If everyone was able to turn PLP on last night we probably would have used it.

I will try, I haven't done anything like that before,  In iracing on a Sunday night the skip barber community would have a track lesson from one of the fast dudes. He would drive around a lap very slowly doing his lines and sometimes nearly stopping saying stuff like gears and brake points
