I thought the UF-BR was the "intermediate" tier. I am always looking for other bronze racers there, but I only find them in Race 1. Adding another server will make finding a good field to race with even worse.

Make incentives for Bronze to race UF-BR perhaps?

Actually, it's been bugging me for the last few days.. I want to drag Kev into the UF-BR, and SHOW him how useful this car is, in helping people to learn about racing.

This car really helps up-coming drivers learn about apexes and exit speeds. You absolutely cannot win, in this car, without really good lines and using the car's momentum to your advantage.

You learn a lot about suspension setup, particularly toe and camber because the engine restriction is so significant and the tyres are so sticky, the changes in setup are a lot more profound AND obvious than in, IMO, any other car setup in LFS.

Relatively low speeds and sticky tyres really does provide for nose-to-tail and door-to-door driving. Despite the restriction, the car motors quite happily. You get a really solid opportunity to practice switch-backs and braking zone overtaking. An opportunity to practice this stuff, that happens once or twice in any other server, can happen in the UF-BR from the beginning of the race right to the line.

So it's under-powered and over-rubbered, but it is a Bronze server after all. It's an absolutely invaluable step along the road to anyone's racing "eduxperience", IMO.

When are you guys on? I am sad to say that at 10pm in California, this server is a ghost town. I just got my bronze and want to get schooled!

Quote from nelson_trujillo :

If everytime the incoming racer sees only one driver and leaves, no server will be populated enough, but if drivers connect regardless if empty or not, it'll be populated sooner.
So, if you like SS2 and have the access to it, just connect, soon somebody else will see you and join

I will be there almost every night from 10pm-12pm PST. I just got both my National B and Bronze, and was pretty disapointed with the turnout on the tier 2 servers.
