just interested users

That's not going to reduce numbers much, though. And they can test it a billion times without users.

Only reason for beta testing I can see is some feature requests, but they can be done later. For server performance the replay viewer should be very lenient (besides loading the background images). Live viewer is what may be a problem (hopefully not). For user side performance it is heavyish, but with my javascript/HTML5 canvas experience that can't be much improved either. Anyway even on my crappy laptop it runs well (in Firefox it's a bit slow, but for some reason everything works crappy in Firefox in this laptop).

Should hopefully be before 2017. But most likely not for next season.


With next season referring to this season now.

So I pitted on lap 40 and when I came into the pits it was wet yet I appear to have put on dry tyres?

Is this a viewer issue or am I seeing something wrongly?

Rain started on Lap 41.
You must have been a lap behind the leader? If so the weather doesn't apply to you immediately until you are on the leaders' lap. So if you did a regular pit stop on lap 40, you will pit again soon after to change tires because the weather changed when you were exiting the pits.
I hope this helps.

Cheers Kevin but I was in fourth at the time and nowhere near a lap behind the leader.

P.S. If you watch my pit on lap 40 you will see what I mean. The track is dry but as I enter the pit lane the weather turns wet on screen as it does for the others behind me (who have not been lapped) as they cross the line.

Did you watch my pit?

So my question still stands. Is it an incorrect graphic or is it to do with the timing of when the leader crossed the line?

Just trying to help Mark. Not trying to upset you.

YUP. Just saw i your lap 40,41,42.
You were on lap 40 when you entered the pits. You crossed the start/finish line in the pit lane and that is when the rain started.
My hypothesis is, did you tell your driver to wait 1 lap after it rains before entering the pits?
This may be the reason..... You entered pits before the rain, so he is stubborn and is respecting your wishes by staying out (in this case going back out) for another lap before changing tires.
That's my educated guess.

I'm not getting upset Kevin I'm just trying to understand how the new viewer works mate.

I pitted for fuel so it wasn't anything to do with staying out an extra lap. The rain graphic started as I entered the pit and before crossing the start line - that's my query essentially was I seeing the leaders weather and not mine ;)

I am also a bit confused. I told my driver to wait one lap to pit if it starts raining. The rain started in lap 41, I entered the pits on lap 41 and in the race analysis it is written pit in lap 42.

Mark entered the pits on lap 40, when it was still dry, put on dry tyres, then went out in the rain in lap 41? Then he went again in the pits for a change of tyres...

Somehow doesn't seems right...Because the pit stop is shown for lap 41, which was wet, but the tyres were for dry...

I always find it makes sense if you go back and view it in the old viewer too; that should explain what’s happened. xx

@Christian: you did not pit in lap 41. When the race viewer says "Laps: 41/71" it means that 41 laps have already been completed, and the race leader is currently doing his 42nd lap. You went into the pits at the end of that lap, i.e. lap 42.

@Mark: you went into the pits at the end of lap 40, when it was still dry. The way you should see it is, your team had no way of knowing that lap 41 was going to be wet, because they aren't fortune tellers. The track was dry when you driver entered the pits, so they sent him back out on dry tyres.

Thanks Jasper and I have no problem with that but the question still stands why did the viewer show me driving in the wet prior to the start line. Is it based on leader time and not the time of the manager viewing the race?

I'm not making some tin foil hat suggestion I'm simply trying to understand how the viewer works in this respect.

No it's not based on leader time. I had actually just been lapped when the rain hit for the leader. So he was driving on a wet track and I was on a dry track and unlapped myself again.

What happened in your case is that you crossed the finish line in the pit lane and started lap 41 as far as the viewer is concerned, before reaching your garage and doing the actual stop. So it showed as a wet track when you came to the box, but your crew was already waiting there with the slicks...

Yes, it makes sense, somehow, it just felt wrong... :D

It will be interesting to see what the viewer will show when the race leader comes into a situation like that, like Mark's! :)

I guess it will be the same, he will run a few meter on water, then stop and change...

Edit: I saw that I was on a wet track and a guy who I just overtook, one lap behind me, was on dry track, and he overtook me back.

Which means he had 2 laps to enter the pit. One dry lap while you're in the pits. One wet lap to get to the pits but you're back on the track on rain tires.

He probably came out of the pits ~ 38s behind you, after his 2 lap to pit for rain tires.

All cars in pitlane have a position of x.00 laps everywhere in pitlane. I guess I could show the old lap weather until the position goes over x.00, as it would represent more clearly the way it currently works in the engine.

If two cars are too close before the pit and they are pitting in the same lap, they are overlapping each other while in the pitlane. Happened to me in lap 27.

The pit lane is not to scale of the cars. It's multi-level pit area. ;)
