TRACKDAY 3 IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER

   Hello drivers! we are happy to announce the re opening of our modded car touristenfahrten server, Trackday 3! We've made some much needed changes and improvements that we are excited to share. Don't forget to go grab your track pass from Patreon for lower entry tolls! So, what's changed?

•  We changed to a different map. This map was found from a group of sim racing Nordschleife addicts just like ourselves known as Golden Pineapple. The benefit of this map is that all pit spots are in the actual pit area. This map also includes off track penalties so Super Clean Laps now work the exact same way on all 4 servers. The map has been pinned to this chat

    We currently have something of our own in the works, but for now this is good placeholder.

• All lap times have been reset. This new map recognizes when you go off track unlike the old map. This potentially meant that drivers have been going off track in order to set the fastest times. So, All server and personal best times have been reset.

• Convoys now give 75 points per driver instead of 50. This previous reduction of convoy points from 100 to 50 was made due to the the lack of off track penalties. Drivers could earn more points than on our other servers while making mistakes, so it was nerfed accordingly. So now that we have off track penalties enabled, the lack of a barrier forcing drivers to pit every lap, and overall a faster group of cars to drive, we have raised this to 75 points per convoy lap.

     Things to know  

• Trackday 3 has and always will be a more "intense" server to run due to the car count and having modded cars. We've curated a list of cars that have LODS to help, however we have found in the past that RAM is normally the key to success. 16GB is what we've seen work best, but with the correct settings, 8GB works just fine. A large group of drivers have a completely separate Content manager settings file specifically for Trackday 3. Try your settings as they are and if you run into errors, read them, adjust accordingly and give it another shot.

• Trackday 3 will also take slightly longer to load than other servers, again due to car count and modded cars. Please be patient on loading and don't click around. We've found that clicking around will cause error or kicks that would not normally occur.

• Some pit spots are better than others, meaning there may be micro collisions like we've seen on all non GT Kunos versions of the map. We've moved around spots to the best of our abilities, but we always suggest holding your brakes while teleporting to pits to prevent collisions.

 With that being said, more specifically on the note of lap times being reset: If there are convoys running please continue to monitor and be aware of where they are in relation to you. Please limit or try to avoid having to pass the convoy when setting your new times. Until we see each other on track, Happy Lapping!
