I think you can join every race apart from the events which take place at the Rockingham track.

To join you just have to join the server on time. You can find the password for the server below this chatbox.

Good luck!

It did indeed, but yesterday we had an instance of wrong penalties for the mandatory pitstop again. Unlike usually it wasn't me though, but Rob and Akulambat received a penalty. This time Rob configured the pit stop so I'm sure it was all set correctly (last time it occurred I was unsure if I did everything right).

Hmm, that worries me.
I've just made two new changes to the code used in !pwgui (because it refered to something from ages ago) and looked over the code for handing out penalties, but can't see a problem with it.
Next race be extra careful when setting a pitwindow and keep an eye on when someone gets a penalty.
Maybe some outer values are causing trouble (like PW is 3-10 and some makes a stop in lap 3 or 10, or maybe it has to do with the track and stopping before or after the actual finishline, which will then change the number of laps, making you pit outside the window, those kind of things).
Keep me posted please.

Keep me posted please.

The pitwindow was set from lap 10 to lap 20. Indeed Lambat stopped on the edge in lap 10, but so did DataFi and he did not get a penalty. I stopped in lap 17 so well within the window.

I noticed in the race statistics everyone received a penalty by 'admin' in lap 20 or 21: http://abnl.racemore.de/mpres/league/S3/5/R09/r/

Although only Akulambat and myself actually received a penalty. It's the same for the previous races.

Okay, so this one really isn't fixed yet.
I will go over the code again and maybe put in a lot of debugging to see what is happening.
Do you guys think the !connected and !pm is working as intended now?
Then I can take those two out of BETA and remove the debug-code, so that it won't clutter things too much.

I didn't notice anything wrong with !connected or !pm, but I only used the !connected command last Sunday. Can't comment on the previous weeks.

Right, I've taken !connected and !pm out of BETA and removed any debug code (if present).
I've also taken another look at the !pwgui and !pitboard script and noticed I made an error by calling a non-existing variable in several places.
Those errors have been corrected and all AB.nl servers are now running on a new version of those scripts.

If the problem is still present after this effort, I will put in a lot of debug code to see if we can nail this bug.

Keep me posted please.

Today again 2 drivers received a stop and go penalty, apparantly for not pitting in the window. Window was lap 10-18. RedBot stopped in lap 10, I stopped in lap 17.

I've found another mistake in the !pwgui and !pitboard code (I am not in too good of a form lately) and have corrected that now. Still hoping it will solve the issue. So again, keep me posted please.

I just realized that the table shows incorrect UTC time. (And I somehow thought that the right one is CET so, I told someone that the race started at the wrong 19:30 UTC. I really apologize about that :\)

Thanks for this report.
I've searched for and found the bug that causes the incorrect UTC time being calculated.
This bug has now been fixed and a new version of the !schedule module is now running on all of our AB.nl servers.
