33 car entered... Man I wish a could watch them race. I am genuinely excited to see how my creations will perform.

- how do i get it to count more than 2 laps?

He he he, it's a little bit tricky (and cumbersome). First, check that you activate iterative calculations. Then, select from C23 to AG23, then drag all the way down to around row 600. Look for Z21 cell and select true, then false. Then scroll down until you see a cell with value in a red box in the enlapsed time column, that is your final lap. Just erase everything below that. Finally go to cell k15, select it and click enter, that will update the value. PROFIT. It's quite a derped system, but is quite easy to use once you understand it. I will probably will do a special program later instead of using spreadsheets .

Ok... So I tried to do this and nothing happened... Can you explain how this is supposed to work? I see what you're doing here, but I can't get the laps to keep counting in my spreadsheet.

On topic of that, are we going to have some sort of race feed like the "win on sunday, sell on monday" challenge runs? Or... how will this be done?
Also I think it would be good to have an introduction to the series where at least the designd of each car will be shown, so we can figure out what we're racing against.

I wanted to take part, but my computer has had some cooling issues. Yesterday when I went to zip the car up, it overheated and simply shut off. Guess I'll be out of it then

If you still have it, just send it

35, yesterday I just forgot to update the OP.

[...] Can you explain how this is supposed to work? I see what you're doing here, but I can't get the laps to keep counting in my spreadsheet.

Don't worry, I'll do a video later today explaining that.

You mean like charts with values and pics and stuff? That will be awesome and definitely easy to do. Today begins the week for sending your revisions, but I think I might change the deadline for the revisions to December 2, because I need a couple of days for preparing the race, do the charts, and other stuff

Well, not really charts and values, as we all know most racing teams keep their secrets close, but rough ideas would be nice I think. Like "This team has entered a car named bla bla bla, it is an MR car powered by a bla bla engine with 2 turbochargers, and 4 liter displacement. This is what it looks like (pic), and team is looking strong at the start of this season bla bla bla.
We wouldn't want all of the stats to be exposed, aswell as strategy should be presented to us only at the time first race commences, so we wouldn't adjust our strategy to others. But yeah, would be nice to visualize the field.

[AirJordan]

Personally I would like to see charts and values also as is a great way to learn were are your week points, improve and also admire others effort with possibly completely different approach.

That makes sense.

After the revisions are done, sure, why not. Before that - no.

[KLinardo]

^Agreed.

[Leonardo9613]

Stupid me, I opened the car using the closed beta version, now there really is nothing I can do, sorry

Yes yes of course after

If I just run open beta but do not open the cars, are revisions still valid? Or if I open the cars in beta and change nothing and that go back to stable version?

I really don't know, but if you open your cars in the beta, all your cars calculations will be re-done, but I don't know if going back to the stable version will fix that. You can download your car from the messages you send me and work on it again if you want.

I just move the revision deadline to december 2th at 23:00 UCT -6, so I can have time for preparing the race and to do quick reviews graphics and stuff.
