Please reorganise the affected stints.
Sorry, but we weren't even asked if we can take care of our stints.

I'm usually trying to host where I can, but this weekend I'm completely unavailable except for my final stint (maybe).

This first part. First thing, no problem to host my stint 4, but i've never done any so don't know anything about it how to do that. Second, why do i need to know this via via and not via mail or some kind.

That's all provisional and can be changed if people are not able to host the stints they have been put down for. As in regards to asking, it was assumed that people on the race marshals team can host whenever possible. Smile

If asked in time, yes. But as many already posted in past races, everyone has a private live, too. Which is why sometimes you won't be able to be there as much as you would like to.

what be the ending times for stint one and 2. I been having a few party chat connection issues when it disconnects halfway through the race.

Quite a few now! for a while just a couple people and they were sleeping thus why the lull in results pouring in, working on getting caught up now. (We're human too we got to get our rest as well) Smile

What is sleep

that thing you just woke up from james!

by MaynardMK4 Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 14:21

Just want to say thanks to everyone involved in putting this event together and helping run it. It's a lot of hard work that goes on in the background so most people don't realize.

I've lagged out of the final stint for B Lobby and can't get back into the lobby to get results. Someone else has said they will collect and post. Thanks

by **Radiation Louis** Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 14:25

cheers Maynard! thank you for all your help!

by F4H Carrera Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 15:05

As a whole had no problems with being lapped by the DP's, a few which were a little late but nothing major. Only issue was with XRS Maki at the end of s12, passing into the braking area is fine, but not from that far back!

Overall good racing with A lobby. Particularly NVirus, we had our close moments, but mostly he pulled away!

by **HCR Motorhead** Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 15:24

Good to see you again Ash, and also good to see Bandicoot back in a prototype! Brummie power!

Virus' donuts after last stint.

Big shoutout to all competitors, we are fully aware that we've only won GT class because of luck. Under normal circumstances we wouldn't have had a chance! Nevertheless, the eSports + Cars team did make a 3rd place after lagging out that shows the dominance you guys had.

I had funny stints last night, thanks for all those great battles against the PROD Porsche and the TMF Ferrari. 98% of DP lapping me were absolutely great too. This was a big improve to last years experience. What also got improved that all lobbys have been more or less on time, +15min max.

by WR Watcher Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 16:55

The best improvement was that we had one party for all drivers, so that DP and GT could communicate.

Finishing 6th behind the Z4s and my teammates is great even though my stints were pretty boring Very Happy

My only job was not to get in the way of the other drivers. I'm looking forward to Sebring Smile

Sam and his hipster beard and Stoke City furnishings went over 16 hours I believe which is an incredible feat.

by **Grizzly IG** Sun 22 Jan 2017 - 20:21

All in all I had a great experience with opening weekend! Communication was very good when lapping GTs and battling with fellow prototypes; everyone in the same party definitely helped. A special thanks to everyone who helped put this together and made it run smoothly! Much improvement from last year! Can't wait for the rest of the season; see you all around!

2nd year at endurance, 2nd time at Daytona and 2nd time we were not invited to Stint 12 Lobby B even with the update 3.5hrs in advance, my guys raced their heart out for 22hrs after time away and now their confidence shattered. I understand a lot of work goes into these events but to come back after 6 months and this happening it does not feel good. and before the "you should of joined the host" comments pop along my driver had no time to find who was hosting then scramble to find them.
I hope this will be rectified before the next endure, I really do.

All they had to do was go to Live Timing, see which teams were in lobby 2, and join off any one of those teams' drivers for stint 12. It has been repeatedly stressed that it is your responsibility to join your lobby if you do not receive an invite. Something on your end needs to be rectified to fix that.

Quite clearly someone on this site needs to read the threads they put up, live timing was not updated to show this and the guys joined lobby hosts most of the race so something my end does not need to be rectified.
When I say he had no time, he had no time. thanks for your input though. It has been noted.
