In order to launch an app on the promised date, we have opted to postpone further web-based races tonight. As many of you saw, the new WebGL build had issues running, and having already spent hours on it, we were close to an answer, but it looks as though it might need a few more hours.
Ultimately, this was the most sensible choice, to stop web races temporarily. Although this may be an inconvenience to some, especially those races just about to start, it is much more convenient than trying to access something all night.
This window will give us some time to complete the app launch tonight and then re-focus on addressing the WebGL build tomorrow. The apps will also double up as a working viewer for the race tomorrow, which in its own way addresses things too.

I think this makes sense Jack. What about the other affected races before 21:00?

We can easily reset them. Please just post the league ID here.
Nicolas Gonzalez medal 5000 7 years 277 days ago
how many hours until the app launch? good luck anyway
Jack Basford medal 5549 CEO & CTO 7 years 277 days ago
As soon as possible, hopefully within a couple of hours (within the day for Britain and America.. but not Asia and parts of Europe :P).

Thanks for the news Jack and good luck for the upcoming work on fixing it.

Problem is I don't run these leagues so I don't know if all of the others want the reset. Is it just the races and points gained reset? I ask because I went up a level and I don't want to start upgrading my HQ if I will lose money and gold.
Jack Basford medal 5549 CEO & CTO 7 years 277 days ago
Yes, only the race would be reset. HQ projects would operate independently of a reset.

I got a one/two so I'm not that bothered anymore ;-)

Good decision Jack. Thanks for taking the time to update us, I know exactly how busy you are right now from working on IT projects/launches in the past. Better to take the time now to get it done right than apply band-aid on top of band-aid as a short term fix.
Looking forward to seeing it all rocking along on web and mobile. Keep plugging away Jack!! :)

We have extended the postponement period up to 23:00 GMT tonight so that we can focus on addressing the WebGL build issues, while at the same time completing the app launches.
I realise this may be somewhat inconvenient, but it's much more convenient compared to what was happening last night. In the meantime, iGP Manager is available on Google Play now, feel free to check it out and spread the word. We've had a bit of a staggered launch, but we'll get the momentum back up in the days ahead. :)
Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Hi Jack.
Totally understand the requirement to postpone. Just to note however, the British Racing League is showing next league race is Saturday @ 19:00, rather than Friday?
Jack Basford medal 5549 CEO & CTO 7 years 277 days ago
Looks like some leagues were postponed twice. I'll need to handle those on a case-by-case basis. I'll "unpostpone" BRL by a day.
Harley Marshall medal 5000 7 years 277 days ago
Our league: https://igpmanager.com/app/p=league&id=156 has had the same issue with the next race showing as Saturday
Alain Prost medal 5000 7 years 277 days ago
Hi Jack, International GP Championship was affected by the issues last night, can we have a re-run of last nights race at Singapore.
Also our next race has been double postponed to Saturday, it should be tonight, thanks
