    Downloaded last night and ran about 20 laps this evening. First time ever running laps on this track and it showed! Going to need lots of practice for this one, especially if I hope to stay ahead in the championship.

    Looking forward to another exciting round of racing with everyone.

    Oh you will come to love Turn 9 & 10!
    Performance wise, it seems like the track is not very well optimized.

    I gotta say I really enjoyed running laps here. Great track, I have always heard that drivers love it and I would agree. Still got lots to learn. Sector 1 is giving me a rough go as I just can't my line down for going into the S turns. Plenty of time to get it figured out. We should hopefully have a practice room up tonight again and everyone is welcome. SRO practice is normally the name. Same password as SRO practice lobby.

    Just wanted to report that there are some performance issues guys are seeing on Bahrain. fps drops in spots and that is with just a few guys on track. I was able to remove mine with lower settings but with a full lobby it could be back and worse. I think others are having more issues than me. I have a pretty beefy system so lower systems might even be worse. Just wanted to give heads up so you guys can look for it.

    Yep, I also have issues on this track. Just wanted to do a few laps but on several spots the frames drop below 90 on my rift and I run a RTX2080 now...
    I had no such issues on other tracks I tried before with the same settings.
    People with slower cards will definitely have issues here.

    I ran in to some stutters yesterday as well with just 2 cars on track. It only happened a couple times during many hours of practicing but can only imagine it will be worse when there is 20+ cars on track.

    I am discussing this with the staff right now.
    We are talking about putting a testserver up and let you guys report issue's. If it's bad, be prepaired for a trackchange.
    Still discussing.

    A test server would be a good idea. Honestly, Im not sure why you guys wait until just a few days before the event to put a server up. Having one up right after the previous race would provide more time for groups of us to get on and make sure things will be stable.

    SRO has limited resources and cannot run servers for all series at the same time. Since we run multiple series using multiple simulators, we have to allocate our limited resources appropriately. Server costs are the issue. If donations would increase then we could run more servers and increase the amount of time our practice servers are available. SRO is financed by donations from very few members and the remaining costs are picked up by the owners.

    Possible track change:

    Be prepaired for a possible track change due to the problems drivers are experiencing at this track with fps and stutters.
    The decision will be made tomorrow. We can't delay this too long for obvious reasons. People still have today to let us know if the track is giving them problems. Test server is up.

    If the track will be changed, it will be to: Malaysia full loop.
    This is a Studio 397 default track, so everybody has it. Most people know the track and driven it and there are no issue's with it. Besides that, it's also a drivers favorite.
