    I also made a new video using one of the car & track combos we've had on the server:

    Server is down now as no joinsijoins like 3 hours so I'll leave it till it gets dark. I guess with it being bank holiday and a scorcher of a day (at least here anyway) lots of folks will be outsode

    Ok folks we're back! Server has been down for a couple of days due to LGITW but today we're up and running again and its time to step up the pace again!

    Welcome to the 3rd and final phase of the NISSAN TIN TOP TRINITY! Thats right folks at last, its the GT500 and the full layouts!

    This car is mental quick and has crazy amounts of downforce, its cornering speeds are nuts! So of course with it being the fastest out of the three cars it need the biggest tracks so we are now on the full versions of Silverstone, Zandvoort & Matsusaka!
    I have also made practice 20mins rather than 15mins, just so you can have a bit more time to get used to the car and sort out your setups.

    Also seeing as some of you are on a national holiday today the race's have also been made 15mins long rather than 10mins for you to enjoy the racing longer.

    As always just search for POTATO in multiplayer. No password, open to all.

    Enjoy!

    Is this today mate? It's v strange but not the first time it's happened, have you got all the cars and tracks installed? Every one of them should just autodownload from the Steam workshop. Could be to do with Matsusaka maybe.

    Btw thanks for your very kind words over on RD! Cheers!

    I have all the official content installed as far as I know.
    No problem mate, I'm thankful that at least one person tries to make a normal content server without mods. ;)

    Cheers mate! Last time it was because someone didn't have Matsusaka and steam hadn't downloaded it even though they had subscribed. They solved it by unsubscribing and resubscribing several times.
    Matsusaka is not a S397 track it's actually by ISI, but seeing as they were the original game creators I include their stuff as I class it as official

    just an general idea for your server.
    In Raceroom there is always a Nordschleife server (which has the most players listed), which runs just a really long practice session.
    Basically a trackday server.

    Something like this, like Nordschleife combined with the newest content cars could make a really good multiclass server, where everybody just can race together and have fun. :)

    I think that's very different to a short races server with free standard content. I understand, but different target players there.

    Hi, sorry its taken a while to reply, have been busy with other things. I would very much like to run several servers each one having a different theme i.e. Trackday, Free Content, Paid DLC, Short Race's, Long race's etc. However because ive been limited to one very unreliable and out dated PC (if you look at my system specs from any of my Youtube videos descriptions you'll cry!) I can only do one server, the premise of which is easy access and free content with short regular races. However, that is now changing as ive been getting some help from a very good friend with a dedicated server, so looks like in future multiple servers will be possible!:)

    Sorry its been a while but ive been busy. Yes there will always be a server for exactly this, but the good news is i may soon be able to run several servers with different content due to the help of a very good friend and finally a dedicated server!:)
