Re: TORA Nürburgring 8 Hours - Qualifying Procedure (US Friday open)

I can vouch for the lag in that lobby, we inexplicably lost 4 people right in the middle of qualifying, and I think there were only 6 of us at the end of it all.

Our lobby host has said that Timan dropped through connection, and the other left at different times at their own leisure. If there was an xbox spike which caused a lobby crash and split, then the time would be valid, otherwise its classed as a mechanical issue, and the last time set before leaving would have to be the time set. Its the same for everyone.

I'm racing from 6am - 10am my time......Hamilton could only do the last two stints.

the race for me goes 12-8am thankfully my stint is last, which is a 6 am start for me, not too early

Ugh... I only got my second lap which was my safe, clean lap. Barely dropped a tires on my third lap to dirty it. I expected better but still should be fun if we can stay grouped up. Nice job Hailfire.

...and not get disconnected, assjacked or have a catastrophic wheel shutoff at 150mph.

For future events I recommend to modify the qualifying rules. A fixed lobby end time combined with a 5 sec roll off delay is not fair for those starting back in the grid, because it gives them less time driving.

I can almost safely post "out" then. I can afford $300 for an X360. I can't afford $1600 for a proper PC setup.

Likewise, if this is true, expect the turnout to half-at-least.
