Hi SRS,
I tried to enter the Radical race at Nurbs Sprint GP and couldn't join. 2 servers said no slots and server 3 would load and then said checksum fail.
Hope we can re run the race or something as it looked like great fun.
What went wrong?
Thanks,
Ben

There was an issue with the server but it was managed and all 4 servers seem to be working.
Getting the no slots available message means you are trying the wrong server.
Checksum mismatch means you have the wrong version.

Got it. I had no idea the car was at 1.1. I have version 1.0.
Everything on SRS said it was OK in the status section of the race preview info.
I'm too used to Race Dept telling me about updates.
Thanks,
Ben

I have to agree with Ben, considering this was planned well in advance.
No updates from me have been done, so there should of not been a miss match for anybody since this is used on SRS, so everybody should of downloaded the same version.
Also the server was set incorrect, it's meant to be fixed setup as I understand.
When I did get in , it was laggy, stuttering and undriveable, which is very very rare for an SRS server.
I will say, this is not due not due to the LOD_C or LOD_D missing from the car, as I have tested a full grid on Ultra settings and I don't have a high spec PC.
The BMW Mini had no issues and that has no lods.
Something went wrong tonight, server side.

Hi SRS.
I always check the race preview details to see that all the SRS statuses are correct.
If the status says OK then surely it is safe to assume it's OK? Everything checked out as OK at my end. I had version 1.0 of the car, but all was allegedly 'OK'.

Version is not checked unless modders change the name of the mod.

I'm over it already. Please and thank yous are nice though.
I now have the correct car and hope to race next time.
Might be an idea to highlight any possible conflicts/issues with non Race Department cars. I only went to Shaun's page when I saw the link on a Gamer Muscle YouTube vid.
Shaun has a page and the SRS link points to Media Fire. I'm sure others that originally saw the car on Gamer Muscle's video may have made the same mistake.
Thanks
p.s Shaun the car is a joyous peach to drive. Thanks for making and sharing it.
