We have some slots left for the race. If someone is interested to participate, please write me a PM. Remember, we have been challenged. You should be able to master the car and the track
We will inform THR during the week about the rules, the progress and everything you need to know.
THR was founded in December 2018. Since then we have had many exciting races, mostly on the weekends.
franglais and Greg had an idea for pickup races during the week.
We thought a while about it and now it´s the time to publish this idea!
Wednesday sees new races at THR, this time decided by you.
These will be run, just for fun, no points, just bragging rights. To kick off the races we will be racing the Audi Quatro Sport at Bridgehampton Races will be, a 20 minute qualifying session, and a 30 minute race, qualifying will start at 19:40 UTC. A practice server will be running a for a week before the event on THR server 3, the race will also take place on server 3. No need to register for the races, just turn up and race. The race server will be password protected
If you have an idea for a fun event, write it in the #wkdy-race-ideas channel and post the ideas using the same format as the pinned post. If you see an idea you like you can or that post. The best ideas will be put to a public poll, and the results of that poll, will be raced the following Wednesday.
All three posters arrived - after a short shipping time - to the winners of our TCL and GPL championships.
The winners had the option to choose between the sizes (30x20, 60x40 and 90x60 cm).
Nik and Mac have selected a poster in the size 60x40 cm. Valentin picked 30x20 cm.
Just got my poster it looks amazing, very high quality picture and paper.
Nik
What a beautiful poster! Thank you so much.
Valentin
Quality is nice. Just wish you included my helmet with it 😉
Mac
Is there anything better than a poster of a race car on the wall?
Yes, a poster of YOUR race car with YOUR self-designed custom skin.
There are some sample posters in our THR shop. For example Simo´s NART Ferrari at Wakins Glen, which you can see below. If you want to have your car printed, then write me (pitman) a PM in Discord.
Probably the easiest way is to grab the links from the server details page in Content Manager:
Qualifying
As mentioned several times, the Qualifying has beend moved from right before the Weekend races, to an open Qualifying which takes place on the weekdays. ServerManager offers an option to start a 2 hour looping practice event, which stores your laptimes. In preparation for the weekend's races, we combine the results of the individual sessions to form the starting order for Saturday's practice race and Sunday's official race…. (Side note: ServerManager saves the lap times. Stracker is not necessary for this.)
Which Server do we use for Qualifying?
The Qualifyings will run on our RACE server, which I have renamed to THR | QUALI + RACE | THRacing | discord.me/THRacing | (Only the laptimes from this server count as Qualifying times!)
Where can you see, if your laptimes got recognized and stored?
The Session Type is labeled as Practice. That is ServerManager related and can´t be changed. It may be possible that some session lap times are not saved. This can happen if the session crashes. So it makes sense to check your times!
How to join Qualifying immediatley after registering for the championship?
To join the Qualifying, you have to register for the championship. It is important to register via this link: http://5.75.183.156:8772/championships?server=4 You must be on server THR | QUALI + RACE |. If so, then you can join the Qualifying immediately after registering.
Why is the session on Server THR | 1 | similar to Server THR | QUALI + RACE | ?
On Server THR | 1 | I have started a test session for the Mod/Track combination which gives you the opportunity to test different cars. (Server 1 has to run 24/7, to start the STracker webpage. I hope that the current issues with STracker can be solved in the future.)
Qualifying Voice Chat
When you enter the Qualifying Server, it would be nice if you dial into the new #Qualifying + Race Voice Chat in Discord beforehand. I could imagine that this would bring us a little closer together. (Push to talk is mandatory.)
Races
The weekend races will be held on this server: THR | QUALI + RACE | THRacing | discord.me/THRacing |
At the moment we are planning the following schedule:
Saturday
First 30 Minute Race (Starting grid based on the weekday qualifying times)
Second 30 Minute (Starting grid based on the result from the first race)
This means that we have to leave and rejoin the server between the two races. Every racer has to wait in CM until the server restarts and can then join the second race session.
Sunday
Main Event over 60 Minutes (Starting grid based on the weekday qualifying times)
30 Minute Practice before the races
The races start at 21UTC. 30 minutes before we offer a practice session, to hop into the cars and get into the right mood. It is not necessary to leave and rejoin the server between the practice session and the race.
Race Voice Chat
During the races most of us join the "#Qualifying + Race Voice Chat" in Discord. (Push to talk is mandatory.)
Sharing Setups
Another thing, what might be good, is that we share our setups more than we have in the past. That might help to find good setups for the new (unusual) cars we race in the next weeks. If someone of you has a good setup, it can be shared in #setups (Easiest way would be to use the share setup function in Content Manager.)
Important info
We are using the next four weeks to test a few things. Our server manager has already caused me some headaches.
Until today it was not possible to join the qualifying server directly after registration. Fortunately I found a solution.
To make it easier for you to recognize the qualifying server, I have renamed server 5 - as described above. Unfortunately ServerManager can't access the old qualifying times across different servers. Therefore, those who had already run laps must now run them again on the qualifying server.
Don´t be too hard on us if anything doesn´t go right in the next few days/weeks. A lot of things are new for us and I have to change a lot of things in the background.
