We've had a few issues migrating STEAM to a new hardware server Paul, so the race server will be up a bit later than usual.

 

Rob has put the server up it is not showing in Liveracers as we are gradually moving to a new dedicated server.

 

No it did not change. That's a mistake by the guys that did that server.
I'll try to get it fixed asap.

 

Should be the correct track now.
