    Making it random is the fairest way. It is about a flat playing field for all. Being stuck with the best drivers all in one race is not flat. Random each week is flat. Bad week? Next week is random.

    We cannot organise and arrange 10 tracks. 5 is already hard enough!! It started with 3. Arguments over tracks...been through it 4/5/7 times already! Which track? Which version? Who decides? Also ppl want more than one shot at one track.

    I really am trying people. I swear. Very hard. The amount of suggestions from the amount of people, the impossibility of using them all, the different opinions and approaches, the lack of understanding of what this event is, and the minute resources behind it.

    I have compromised a lot in an effort to achieve a more generalist approach. It is easy to be criticised for that. I have even been abused. But I am determined to keep objective fairness as the main priority. Since this is impossible, i am only likely to fail. But the closer I manage, the better it is for all - on average.

    Now the server is down, and I cant find BB. :(

    EDIT: That's enough internet for me today. No point getting stressed out over it.

    Ok... Updated the server this evening... Had a small problem with the game using 100% of the CPU. Fixed it and now all is well. Update Gingerbread Man just entered the server and it shot up to 100% usage... Didn't do that when I entered the server...

    G'night

    Remember to Donate!

    Made up a vMOD using SR4L's (I think I got that right.) version of Belgium that has no hay bales or dreaded white posts.

    I hope no one minds. If they do I'll take it down.

    It's amazing how much different the track is now.

    I also have Nand Gate's rubber loaded. However if you ask me... It has more of the track covered with rubber than mine did.

    Enjoy... And DONATE!

    *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    f3fanatics@yahoo.com is where you can donate via PayPal.com.

    First, let me thank all of those who have generously donated their hard earned cash. Thank you!

    Now, If you visit my server from time to time, you should consider coughing up some cash.

    I don't think it's unfair of me to ask for some cash. I do think it's unfair to expect a totally free ride from me.

    Rent is due in 2 days... DONATE!

    Thanks for the read,

    Bryan

    Hiya Nikos,

    Thanks, but I had to take it down. I removed the 1.43b update out of my home computer and was not able to download it through the server.

    So, if others can't join without looking for a track, my server will not be running that track. : )

    Server now has plain old Belgium loaded.

    I sure do enjoy the new version of the track though!

    Bryan

    PS: This build stinks... That's the nicest thing I can say about it. You can keep all the stink'n eye candy and improved FPS. I want a sim that is fundamentally sound... Then play with the graphics. Had to get that off of my chest... It's getting old... Thanks. : )

    This is why I always spill my coffee when ppl I have seen on your server countless times have something to say instead of something to give. Especially when they want entry.

    Astounds me. I gave you cash AGES ago (once - a lot more than $5) - not knowing you at all, unprodded- no cup, no reason - as soon as I understood what the situation was.

    Sorry guys, but almost all other room connections suck (how is your international ping?), and your lag sux.

    This is not a home computer on a home connection....

    That is why F3 Fanatics exists, and why the cup is being held there. $5 with weeks to donate? Cant donate? Nah....you are not tight at all!!

    EDIT: almost 2 years @ $45.00 USD/month. That is what he has already paid before I came up with this to help keep the server ALIVE.

    GOOD IDEA? SUPPORT IT!!

    EDIT: (I DO know very well what too poor means - trust me - as in $0. It can just be about timing, too).

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Race time has been moved 3hrs EARLIER to accommodate more UK/European drivers.

    Please comment below if this specifically COUNTS YOU OUT.

    This is closer to the ORIGINAL time set, which was moved later to accommodate US drivers finishing late work Fri night.

    For those who need to be reminded, all the times in the OP are the same moment around the world (or supposed to be). ;)

    noooo what time is that? you would need it moved 'X' many hrs later?

    Hoping we can sort this out here ASAP between drivers

    Countdown timer added to OP.
