Guys watch out on the last corner, because there is a hole.
It's a nasty place, because it could be easy to do a mistake and get there, so be careful.


If you pass there you will be send to the the box directly.

Gerrit found the bug, and fix it already, but then, he had a problem on his computer and lost his work. so the problem will be there tonight.

We will have a newer version for the next official race.
Remember that this is a test race, so our aim is to have fun, but even debug the track! so...if you find an other hole... be happy!!!

see you tonight!

Without any doubt this was the worst night I had in netKar PRO, so far.
The lag/ping on track was simply unbelievable. The funny thing is that both our server and Lastplace server (thanks a lot for your support Tjeerd) hosted several other races without problem.
Still haven't understood if it was a configuration problem, a problem on the servers or something related to some client. Any idea? your input will be really valuable.
I created a new topic to try to analize the causes...please compile your part, and add some suggestions eventually.


Our apologies for the problems. Murphy's law, once again was fully confirmed! Not a smooth start for our Championship.
On the other end, this, as you all know was a test race, so, at least doesn't count too much! We will organize in the next days some more tests (as non official races), on other tracks, trying to understand something. Keep an eye on our news/calendar or here in the forum for updates.

sorry to hear this,i hope it isnt track related
i didnt show up because something came up,i could pick up my xbox 360 from repairs so i had to go,or wait 3 more days to pick it up again

About the track I have to say that Gerrit did a very good job : current version is much better then public beta release and I didn't find any nasty bump nor holes.

On the other side I think that pits are too close each other but there should be enough room to make them more spaced and I suffered the pitboard absence (in fullmode - where there isn't the topbar - and specially on long race it is difficult racing without knowing which is your position and who and where are your direct opponents).
