Countdown not working for me?

Looking forward to this event Hope to see some clear and hard racing
Practise Session 5 credits?
Any credits for practise session 5? I need to know whether I should try (difficult) to attend more practise sessions and to schedule my weekends for quali and the ky400 (due to work).
Will there be a quali/duels/race broadcast? If so, where?
Quote from Yuri Laszlo :Will there be a quali/duels/race broadcast? If so, where?

I will have to get back with you guys on this one. Jonathon will be away Sunday sadly, but he may still set something up for us
Going into Kyoto 400 Qualifying Day tomorrow I would like to wish all competitors good luck and remind them to look over the rules. Be ready for qualifying, and please consider this video made by Fragmasters in your duel race tomorrow and the Kyoto 400 in just over a week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMi5-_u1lNA
sorry to car number 50,
I thought I had a strong chance coming into qualifying to get the pole and that is what I did. It wasn't my fastest lap but it was a solid lap.

During the duel race I got in a nice draft with the #58. We even caught the front 2 bumpdrafters once when they made some mistakes. After both caution periods I lost contact with the leaders so I had to settle with 5th. Good racing from all the drivers I raced with, I had fun.
sry 83 totally mine
Thanks for some nice drafting #32 and #45
And Thanx to the admins for all the work just to make it possible for some fun racing events

Unfortunately I was involved in 2 yellow flag incidents, one of them i'm pretty sure it was due to some lag. I'm almost sure I held a close straight line to #45 when we suddenly just crashed into each other
The first one I'm maybe to blaime, I hit the wall just slightly, but my rear went out then a little and hit the car on my left which was rather close then I think ... dammed sorry about it and I think it was just bad luck (or lag) that the car beside me lost traction then.

Generally speaking i had much worse FPS than I have had earlier on this RN/KY-events and I dont think it was my connection, I'm on 100 mbit fiber connection so it should be fairly stable.
Race Day password has been applied.. those eligable to participate have been PM'ed information

Looking on tracker.. Are you sure that Mr. Hall's firstname is "BridgePatrick", and his username "falcon"?
If you are going to broadcast the race, please fix the camera positions & angles, so the people watching the stream will actually see the cars and not caravans and pit buildings, thanks

Fixed, just a missed place comma.

It's been like that in every RN stream I've seen, you have to bretty brain dead to not notice how shit the cameras are and still continue to use them all the time.
