Service upgrades

A stability improvement to the service was deployed earlier which addresses races restarting during an anomaly in the service. Now races will resume where they left off in the event of such anomalies, typically within seconds. We realise that having races restart for any reason was a big deal, and made it our top priority to address before anything else.
This update was trialled earlier in the week on 20% of the service and after some refinement was deemed ready for release today. It is now running on 100% of the races on the service, meaning they are all protected from restarting during an event. This will apply to all future races as well.
In the next few days we will be adding a fix for viewer freezing in Java 8 and looking to re-enable wet weather. These updates will grant better stability and compatibility to the service and mean we can focus fully on gameplay updates and development of our new viewers (which are no longer built in Java and will run in all browsers and on mobile devices) .
In the interim, we will also look in to implementing some of the great suggestions we've received to improve strategic variety during live races, before finishing the major updates. If you have any such suggestions let us know in the comments!

That will be awesome to have wet races again the only time i was in a race that was in the wet it stopped raining right after qualifying
Exciting things in the works! Looking forward to having wet weather back - my first victory was in the wet.
Getting the ball rolling with stability and restarts are big improvements. Hopefully some of the suggestions involving the SS issue are front on the list (although said issue netted me some good points for a newbie ;).) And I'll have to look up wet weather strategy while I'm at it! Hopefully this gets you to stick around Yuri :)
Any suggestions?
