Kumpen is FLYING!

He reset fast lap twice in a row. (EDIT: 3 times in a row)

All of the top 3 are, even with those fast laps he's not building much of a margin.

Morgoth · 26 Jul 2009, 02:53 (Ref:2508140)

Wow, the #40 Ford is in the pits with a stuck gearbox again.

HORNDAWG · 26 Jul 2009, 02:58 (Ref:2508142)

Hmm, my LTS (MST) has been stuck on lap 244 for some time now. Must of blew em up.

L.P.

Morgoth · 26 Jul 2009, 03:14 (Ref:2508143)

lap 296 here... Muller purple in sector 2.

WMUCarGuy · 26 Jul 2009, 04:28 (Ref:2508150)

2:15.4 for Gavin!

It's no doubt a caching issue with the web browser. We recommend pressing control-F5 if using IE or control - R in most of the other browsers (e.g. Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc). IE7 appears to have the largest caching problem and there is a setting somewhere within the browsers itself.

Incidently, we're now fixed the time remaining BUT this will only work if you refresh your page (as its a brand new htm file). Would have been done earlier but the developers needed some sleep

chewymonster · 26 Jul 2009, 05:01 (Ref:2508152)

Looks like something happened to the GT-R, been in the pits for about 5 laps now. And the timing and scoring used for this event is one of the better ones I have followed.

MSTSystems · 26 Jul 2009, 05:05 (Ref:2508153)

Thanks.

The refreshing is sadly something we can't get around with the technology we used. We decided it was better to do it this way rather than have to install plugins in browsers (i.e. java, flash, etc).

Incidently, feel free to make suggestions to it. Its very much in development therefore any feedback, suggestions and that is welcome.

Cuttlefish · 26 Jul 2009, 05:07 (Ref:2508154)

Let me just say, the timing is absolutely wonderful!

No outages while I've been watching, very frequent updates, F1 inspired sector time highlighting, it's PERFECT!

The only things I can think of to make it better would be a couple more columns: Team, pit time, and actual class names. Also, it seems that theres not too much reason for the fastest sector times to rotate in, they could probably all be visible at once.

It's really great that you're here on the forums making sure everyone is happy. Excellent customer service (well, we're not even customers!). I'd love for you guys to do ALMS or LMS, as both of their live timing systems are pretty awful. If it would help to send a kind word about your timing system to LMS/ALMS, let me know.

MSTSystems · 26 Jul 2009, 05:17 (Ref:2508156)

Excellent. Teams are definitely coming, they'll make the next version (which will either be the next GT event or the next WTCC event). Lap analysis is coming. Class names is tricky for support races but we could do it for GT's.

Back on topic. The weather seems to have cleared up. It was very foggy/misty about an hour ago. Its looking like it might be a nice clear day. Please, no more rain

chewymonster · 26 Jul 2009, 06:20 (Ref:2508165)

Top 3 still on the same lap and only separated by a few seconds even after 375 laps.

Would it be possible to have some color-code for the classes in the column with the class numbers? I.e. making GT1 a 1 on a red background, GT2 a 2 on a yellow background and so on..

Done (Refresh the page should show the change).

I've put GT1 in red, GT2 in a funny blue colour and all over classes (i.e. G3) in grey.

The line background colours also follow the FIAGT.com website with their colouring.

Cuttlefish · 26 Jul 2009, 07:58 (Ref:2508181)

Timing Question:

What does the data in the Diff column mean when two cars are on different laps? Example: 9th and 10th, 5 lap difference but a Diff of 1:34.098?

On topic:

I assume we're getting gt1live back imminently?

EDIT: And its back!

Danny_GT2 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:05 (Ref:2508183)

Morning all!

Wow, that's what I call customer support!

The diff is to the car infront. However, there is no consideration that they may be on another lap.

Yep, GT1live back on air/the intraweb.

Mirage M6 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:09 (Ref:2508186)

4th overall for the Audi R8 !!

AndrewF31 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:13 (Ref:2508187)

Really good timing indeed. Much better than a few of the others that are out there.

I see the #2 Maserati and #3 Corvette are locked in battle. Go Corvette!

Well, they were..... seems the #2 Maserati is dropping down on the timing sheet.... Wonder if he's off.
EDIT: Did they just say the #2 has a puncture and is still stuck on track?

Good running so far for the Audi. Just not enough pace to challenge so they're basically racing by themselves.

Barring a mistake, it looks like another 24 hour victory for Ferrari. And it's exactly their top car. Seems the other Ferrari star car, #56, made it back up the ranks. Too bad about the IMSA car. The Junior Porsche guys are holding up the flag for the German company.

AndrewF31 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:26 (Ref:2508188)

And now we see the stranded Maserati.

Yep, out of the race for now.

Danny_GT2 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:31 (Ref:2508190)

Still says #2 is leading??

Do you think we could get the DNFers singled out on the live timing? The on track / off track signal helps but there's a few of the bottom cars that are classified as on track but they appear to be out of the race.

It's particularly useful for long races. You get lost sometimes.

A color code on the names (grey or something) or something else.

Thanks.

Try refreshing. Mine has 4 - 3 - 2 - 111 - 33

Its cached. Hit F5 (or control R).

Shows Menten leading by 21.236. Longin in second.

Danny_GT2 · 26 Jul 2009, 08:38 (Ref:2508198)

Just closed it & re-opened & it's correct now!
