The race will go on as scheduled for Saturday, but... If we have people dropping out and it gets back to 8-9 persons, I will suggest we cancel and reschedule when time is better for more people.

Please...if you have signed-up, SHOW UP. If an emergency happens and you absolutely cannot make the race, please post in the thread you're out.

The other thing I think we need to do is add AI. Three for each of three classes. I can put them at the back of the grid so they will spread out and give them a lower % of efficiency so their role will be as traffic only. I'm not a fan of adding the AI but driving an empty track for three frigging hours is painful.

The AI should have a setup, then. Something that's trimmed out so that they are not chicanes on the straights. I will work on something.

Working on call this weekend, sorry guys. I would have liked this one, but the homestead is taking up a bunch of time lately.

Will be looking for the replays!

Which engine do we select? I think there is a 1 hour, 3 hour, and 24 hour.

There are 2-hour, 4-hour, and longer. The safe option will be the 4-hour (because we have a 3-hour race). If you are paranoid you can select a longer-life engine.

I think we will be able to qualify on the fastest engine, then exit the server, change engines, and come back in during warmup. This should be tested.

I think that you should just stick to 1 engine.

But the 3 hour race is 10x. Do we know for certain time compression doesn't affect the engine?

I've not gone into the game but isn't it an option to make mechanical failures timescaled!?
