TOPIC:

if there are over 160 people signed in at any time on here,why are there only 10-15 people showing up to race????? Why aren't the browser rooms packed to the gills???? With 160 people signed in on here we should get at least 40 people on here runnin each night, if we can get car counts like that, there could be some interesting ideas of how to run the events, some might considder runnin 3 clases, maybe Sprints, Lates, Renegade v8s, all in the same night. SO MY POINT BEING.....WHERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE AT??????

Hey Jason,
I don't think there are really that many people online. I believe the website stores the data of visitors for 35 minutes. Meaning if you signed onto the site 35 minutes and just sat on the website without doing anything, your session would expire in 35 minutes. So really, 160 guests is probably how many people have been on in the last 35 minutes. And I would guess that several of those are spam robots and search engine robots but I'm not sure. On a typical day the website gets between 230-400 visitors a day according to the stats. And on average there are 150ish DIFFERENT people on the site in a day, which is a high number of guys that could be racing...I mean the Gen 3's have 1737 downloads but where are these people??

I know it's been discussed before, and Jason raises a good point. Different classes..; maybe different series with different style tracks, might attract some of these onlookers. As I have said in past topic, many feel that inexperience on the track is what's holding them back; otherwise it comes down to availbility to race at set times. I don't know??? Maybe they're all sprint fans...; but anything is worth a shot. Did BLS get many to race on DW_Bracken? I was unable to make what sou7nded like a fun event, because this computer doesn't have my game loaded on, with the other being in storage. However, that has now changed, and rather than talk through a hole in my head, I should put my money, where my mouth is, and attempt to give it a go. Just need to work out the times when racing occurs, over here in New Zealand that is. But if a series is already underway, then that kinda' cuts me out. Plus; it's been years since I attempted to get into a browser.

See my dilema...? But it is a matter of tempting one to come out of retirement or luring the novice/amature racer out there. If the oppurtunity isn't offered, then they'll remain the typical Offline racer. Put them in a Stocker and let them bash their way to fun, like on a FIGURE 8... OH YEAH!!!

they are racing offline

i, for one, dont just go race anywhere because it's a little intimidating for those of us who don't know anyone there. I've raced at IGGR, SNO, IRDS and a few others after meeting them in browser racing and they invited me to come race with their group. I'm still trying to figure out the Vent thang myself lol.

Anyone who wants to keep this game goin should come and race as long as your ping is under 100,almost everyone here will help get ya pointed in the right direction if u come to the host team vent an hour early and dont be skeered to ask questions. Theres some fast mofos so I would request to start in the rear and get some experience when it comes race time, just run clean and have fun. If you cant keep up with anyone, be ready to move out of the preferred line for the leaders after a few laps.HOPE TO SEE SOME NEW FACES AT THE RACES!!

mf22 ive raced with ya in the browser and you have raced very well i dont think anyone would have a prob with u showin up at a league race.....IFRT_8x

Hell man we all started somewhere....I just kept racing the browser and got better... Keep practicing and come out to leagues...ITS A BLAST
