    No, you stay on the same tyres you were on before the disco. You are also unable to change brake bias or engine mode for the rest of the race.

    You don't get fresh tyres

    My apologies for being wrong about rejoining the server with a fresh car and fresh tyres. I thought the server Multiplayer.JSON file was set to value 1 where you get a fresh car back when you rejoin after disconnecting. I haven't disconnected in 3 or 4 years, so I just believed it was set to 1.
    I will investigate this.

    I was indeed wrong in assuming that rejoining in Multiplayer.JSON was on setting 1.
    Rejoining is now on setting 1 for the remaining of the 2025 World Series. That means ... if you disconnect and rejoin, you get a new car and tyres (with or without a FCY).

    Be advised that hitting ESC does not work for rejoining the race. If you hit ESC you can't come back.
    You can only re-enter if you disco.

    • 1 = yes with fresh vehicle : When you get back in session, your car is brand new, ready to start in Pits and you can use "Drive" to get back on track but with one or more laps down which is normal.

    I appreciate this as well, but I would still like action to be taken about the server itself, not just the protocol for what happens if there's another mass disco. I don't want to race if there's a near-100% chance of disconnecting at some point.

    For what it's worth over the last few weeks both LMU and LFM platforms have also had mass random disco's happening .. they, like us, have no clue as to why other than the interweb having issues. I can assure you there is nothing wrong with our servers, we checked with the provider double checked all our configs and can't find anything out of sorts .. The interwebs have been suspect for a lot of platforms over the last few months.. Some say it could be partly from underwater cables being cut & rerouting millions of users' networks & such .. I was in 2 races last week where a similar thing happened, 2/3rds of the field was dropped, one in lmu where we all got discoed.. and the other in AMS2 at LFM just like what happened to us on Sunday .. I heard some of the same things were going on in the rF2 RC servers.. So you can't put 100% blame on any one thing and can't be 100% sure things won't happen .. ..

    God, how frustrating. I don't really know whether to race or not right now.

    That's an easy one Caitlin; you should race. (But drive faster than you've ever driven before, so the 'Disco Monster' doesn't catch you :D)
    Seriously though, that's a bit like saying "I don't know whether to go for a walk or not right now - in case I get knocked down by a car, or a heavy branch disconnects from a tree-trunk and falls on my head." :D

    I hope that's not my new nickname. I was happy with "head marshal". ;)

    No, not really. Those are unlikely events, but it seems like the chance of me disconnecting at some point are nearly 100%.

    Is the PW still the default?

    By my calculations championship predictions (provisional after round 5):

    Nick Westy WINS the championship:
    • If Nick Westy finishes 6th or higher.
    • If Philipp Pichler wins, and Westy finishes 6th or higher.
    • If Philipp Pichler 2nd, and Westy finishes 8th or higher.
    • If Philipp Pichler 3rd, and Westy finishes 10th or higher.
    Philipp Pichler WINS the championship:
    • If Nick Westy finishes 7th or lower, then Pichler has to finish 1st.
    • If Nick Westy finishes 9th or lower, then Pichler has to finish 2nd.
    • If Nick Westy finishes 11th or lower, then Pichler has to finish 3rd.
