Pre-Season Testing (Mar 5th - Mar 19th)

Regarding car selection:

Some of you have said that you may not be online when the entry list thread opens, and thus miss out on the car you want.  
We are adding a rule that will hopefully address this concern:

Quote :

When car selection opens, a driver can post their selections and those of someone else who can't be online when the thread opens -- providing:
1) They only post selections for themselves and a maximum of one other driver 
2) The other driver doesn't post later with a contradicting selection

Regarding this rule:

Quote :

Car selection is free (i.e. first come, first serve), but please note: Full-time drives with red numbers include cars capable of 1000 bhp; the admins reserve the right to withhold them from a driver if they are judged to be too fast for them, or if their simracing level is unknown.

If you're not sure you fall into the "too fast" or "unknown skills" category, please PM one of the admins this week and ask.  

Today I try test all cars. This time I try choice a good car. And make a good season.

FYI...

I have been approached to personally post for drivers who cannot be online tomorrow, and I must decline.  Since I am the one who knows the exact moment the entry list opens, I feel it would not be fair of me to post choices for another driver.

I'll try to submit my entry through smartphone tomorrow. If not, it is not the end of the world. I have some interesting plan Å, Ä, Ö going on.

If by chance all three of a driver's choices have been scooped, I will notify them via PM to pick again. I will be watching the proceedings closely, so I should be quick to PM if need be...

So when's the race thread open?

More than likely after tonight's race.

Looking for help.  My Trenton sky looks like this.  (Indy and Mich look fine.)

Yes, we are aware of this bug. It goes away if the graphic settings are on full. We will issue an update before round 2 and 3

Thanks Jason.  Changed to full graphics and the problem went away.

So we might have broadcasts with commentary from Jonathan Acerclinth

Come on! Nobody that can help our friend Jonathan? I don't want him to be up there in the booth alone!

I'm on as broadcast director in order to launch the USAC season.
Jonatan has to hope for quick crash from one of our usual commentators.
