Today i was racing, when suddenly the race ended, when the track change time was 50 mins left... then it said
Change Track to: ()
bla bla bla
bla bla bla
bla bla bla

*Warning now laps are : 1378 or something like that
i hve pics attached
note: the track didnt changed

Maybe it was the endurance day?

On a serious note, it was probably just a glitch in the race managment system and it would fix it self or atleast when you would have voted to end race. It even says 16 laps on the bottom left corner.

When you vote to end the race, the server automatically chooses a new track (and laps). If the race really had that many laps, you could have ended the race and got a new combo with less laps.

no, the server had 16 laps, we finished a race and that happened, though the time of the track didnt expired

ROFL! I think that's the time that Becky and I were making some changes to the config file. SparkyDave had pointed out an issue, and I was checking some things in the config and reloading it on another server.

Just to make sure, I'll restart the manager

BTW compulsory pit is off - you have the option of doing all 1378 laps on a single fuel load and tyres.

hehe, no seriously, sounds like you where changing tracks whilst we where restarting the manager - or something along those lines - and some vital data was missed. Either that or the track rotation file that that server uses has a blank line in it.

It's a good point actually, I might try and make some of the data persistent in the new version - but given that this is the first time its been restarted for a LONG time its not a serious thing (and even then, only because the config file isnt quite right).

.

seriosly i dont know if the other guys where changing track because i missed a button and i clicked to the windows one, LFS was minimized, and when i got back i was on that screen, but i saw with "H" button the history, and no one vote for end a race...

After about 2hrs on one track, the server manager will end the race itself and choose another track, even if nobody votes to end the race. It all seems to have happened at the same time we were making config changes, so I think it was a one-off

yes i know, but the $track option said that was more time left, no "Next Restart"

I wouldn't worry about it if it hasn't happened since.
