It's been doing it every race, changing hehe.

Forecasts are not vert predictable though in real life so it's acceptable.

So why need it then .
Should work better though then this.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

Well the working of the weather forecast could be worse

 

[David Garcia]

Lol Christopher! Yeah it can be worse!

 

[Tom Ilsbroux]

thx for the jokes .

But this didn't answer my question.
Yesterday the weather changed in late afternoon, going from rain to sunshine.
I now suspect it will do the same.

I havn't seen this before, weather worked quit well, just offcourse there is a random factor which is a good thing.
I have tried NAW and it didn't do this, only changed from day to day which it is suposed to do, otherwise you might as well turn it off and give completly random weather.

Now it says 4°C rain, I suspect it will change again this afternoon.

ok, now start joking again .

 

[Xosé Estrada]

In fact Tom has reason, look at the NAW log:

Ogni volta che il file verrà modificato NAW genererà un nuovo WEATHER.TXT

Polling inziato...

For an unknown reason were changed way more often than usual and expected.

But as I say, the system it's the same for we all and since this night stop changing that fast, so I suppose the actual forecast will be the one we will have for the race.

Why NAW became crazy this days?, no clue.

Cya!.

 

[Tom Ilsbroux]

Thx Xosé, you are the man

If its going to be 4°C with heavy rain, then this it will be very interesting.
I did laps in >90% rain in cold weather given by NAW, and o boy, no grip what so ever, impossibel to get the power down and understeer oversteer everything you want.

Looking forward to this one .

 

[Tom Ilsbroux]

It switched at the same time as yesterday, Now its a dry race .

Contrast can't be higher

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Yes but in fact the change can be logical, is just starting to rain earlier than expected as the rain and 4ºC moved from Race lo Qualy.

I promise I'm not touching anything

LOOL Xosé, could there a problem with the server time ? The change is happening at exactly same time so I suspect there is a problem with the servers time. The multiple changes arn't new forecasts but that is when there is a new weather file created based on the forecasts.

I tried, only when its saying : "Cambio giorno applicato" a new forcast is created.

shame, a soaking wet race would have been great to watch

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

I must disagree, for a finale in the virtual south of lovely France, splendid sunshine is a must!

 

[Sebastien Levret]

Impossible to do a better result than 12th. I have the information during the quali, than my team mate can't race tonight due to PC issues.

So I jump on the PC, and make my quali lap on the wet. I didn't make any practise on this track and I have the 1 lap of the quali to remember the turn for the quali lap.
On the rain, I made a spin and finish 15th.

During the race, I wasn't able to follow the other driver, I do my best to get points to my team, but with no training, it's very hard. I finish 12th, and impossible to do a better result.

I am a little bit disapointed, because my team mate was really faster than me, and I am sure than he can to a Top 8 or better.
My other team mate was not lucky, because he missed his quali and fight a lot with the BVM.

For me the beginning of the race was great, because I have very nice fight with Nigel, and a wonderfull fight with Ivo. I thought that we make during 10 lap 2 overtakes by lap. Thanks Ivo.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Congrats to the Champs!

Qualification 13th. Damn that track was wet!.

Race 1:

Awesome battle with Sebastien. Indeed for 10 laps side to side battling it out and switching position alot of times. :good:
Fighted my way to 11th but i knew i lost some places because of some fast guys behind me. Had some small battles.

Pitted in lap 22 and came infront of Gregory and Rickard. Who where 6 seconds behind me. Could increase the gap to 11 seconds. Only in the last couple of laps Gregory found the speed or something and he closed it to 5 seconds. So i could keep him behind me. Finished 13th.

Grats to the Team Champion and the rest of the podium. Awesome job and see ya guys next season.
I am now off burning the Ferrari.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

Totally missed my quali (cut).
It was difficult too concentrate after the server problem, but it was a great race with the BVM's. I'm very sorry for the touch with Rickard Norgren (i have misjuged my pass). Big fight indeed :thumb:

Congrats to DHR, congrats to everyone, drivers and admins! It was a big championship, very close and very fair :thumb:

 

[Keith Barrick]

Will write a report in a bit, just was wondering when the broadcast will be in the archives?

I only ask cause I got some friends that wanted to watch, and I would also like to aswell..

Thanks
Keith

 

[David Garcia]

Congratulations for the winners!

And congratulations for all the teams! This have been a superb seasson, with a close fight until the end in almost all positions.

@Keith: we're fast, but we cannot do magic
