    They were supposed to be live already. Chedburn is looking into it.

Ahoyhoy. Thought I'd make a quick post to let you know about two small changes that have been made to Racing today.

First, to help racing organisers of the URT and other tournaments accommodate people in different time zones, the maximum wait time for a race is now 48 hours.

Second, you can now watch races live as soon as they've started. Once a race begins, the Join Race icon will switch to a View Race icon in the shape of an eye. When a race finishes, these live races will disappear from the racing screen, but they can be replayed for a while afterwards if you still have the link. 

So if anyone wants to watch the URT races and bet your hard-earned cash on them, now you can!

I like that you can view them but 48 hrs just isnt necessary.

Many tournaments have been run successfully with out such long set times.
Keltos [2111018] · #6

48 hours? Its a long time 

Maybe 24 hours but i dont think that makes any diffrence slots will be full in 5 minutes if its the same as it is now

I will gladly re-race you on Tuesday.

I thought we had a suggestion to add two race length records beyond one lap - add records for the total time at official race lengths and 100 laps on each track. I didn't see that, did we never officially make that suggestion?

Any idea when these updates are going to be implemented? Any info on this would be much appreciated, as I really want to place bets on certain URT drivers.
garfthegreat [1731173] · #14 · edited

it looks like they fixed it last night. I can now spectate other races. although not sure how we are going to bet the races unless there is a bookie doing research and placing odds on people?
TriTuRaDoR [1021253] · #15

Nice! Now I can see other races! Its in random races, the ones you can watch have an eye on them! and their names are a bit darker to.

Attention, you cant be in an oficial or random race or waiting for one to start to see!

Good job guys!
