Super early question for SX, but if I sign up and qualify but cannot make it in time for the initial UID grab but will be home quickly after it, can I still race? Just note my UID beforehand so it doesn't get skipped..There's got to be a reserve rule for this stuff in the future, some people can race but can't be there at the exact UID grab.

But if we reserve for all the guys who cant make UID grab, guys who show up on time but are slower will be left out.

You cant fall asleep anymore in 02. If you join the server and forcespec yourself before you leave for work, you should be fine.

So what happens when you get a reserved spot (just because what?) and then you dont show, thats a spot someone could of had that you have taken. Not bashing, but it's the case in point. I agree IF there are less than 40 riders then I could see the point, but last year almost every class was stacked in rF.

Not sure if they're still gonna do this, but they used to shutdown the server about 15 ,inured before the race to kick those people who sat in spec mode without actually being there.

I think this should be reimplemented if its not still done.

I'm pretty sure the server restart was to load up 30+2 trackinfos. I don't really see an issue with people waiting AFK in the server, especially if they legitimately qualify.

I think it's only fair to purge AFK-ers, considering the possibility of an empty slot when a deserving racer(even if they qualified slower) could have it. There's been a lot of breaks given(like restarts) when one person gets a second chance while others potentially suffer. Make the rules hard and fast and don't give ANY preferential treatment. If you can't make it, you can't make it. Let someone that has met all the criteria participate instead. I saw some complaints regarding those type of exceptions. Juan comes to mind.

You don't need to spec yourself.

Sure you do... If you don't you run the risk of someone crashing your game.
