Why no practice lap times anymore?
+ how long till they bk?

Apologies from the devs.
This should be up and running again by the end of the day.
Was causing instability again so is being worked on to resolve the problem.

Thanks Jake.
Yes, just to confirm, I have disabled practice laps to try to get us through a busy period and avoid any gliches with the races. I have identified exactly why the practice laps are causing problems and am resolving that underlying issue now.

Thanks Jake, Andrew again. :)
Andrew Wiseman medal 5000 12 years 27 days ago
I have re-enabled them now.

I just did some practice runs, and they are not working.
Tom Jenkins medal 5000 12 years 26 days ago
Not working for myself either.
Andrew Wiseman medal 5000 12 years 26 days ago
They should be back now. I had to disable them earlier on today.
Gary Collyer medal 5011 12 years 26 days ago
no practice lap times again, bug or switched off?
Jake Goodhall medal 5000 12 years 26 days ago
They have been switched off.

Read the post above yours.

Any plan to switch them back on?

To be fair they are pointless any way. I've had two teams reading 3 seconds difference in the practice lap times for a race (1.31's and 1.34's) and the team who was doing 1.34's was the better team/better car/better drivers/went on to win the race by a country mile.

Any update on practice times?

I've turned them back on for now. It's mainly in peak hours that they were being turned off for because they were causing some of the issues with races going offline.
That's probably not necessary now since the underlying issue was resolved. I'm sure Andrew will clarify when he's on.
Andrew Wiseman medal 5000 12 years 23 days ago
Actually I'm sorry to say that there is still a problem with practice laps. I noticed them causing serious instability earlier today (outside of peak times) so I need to disable them again for now.
On the plus side, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. It might take a few days though. Sorry about this.

I get a little upset when I see the practice lap times, the more 'feels good' I have, the worse the lap time gets. I thought that if the car feels good for the driver, he should be able to drive faster, but in my case it's vice-versa
Jack Basford medal 5020 CEO & CTO 12 years 23 days ago
When this happens, does your driver mistake value correlate with the fluctuation in lap times? Especially at lower levels they are going to be prone to a high margin of error.
