Kinda late notice - but NRank was featured in the issue 06 of the Auto Sim Sport.

The last two days the ranks where offline due to network problems on the way to the server. Everything is now back as it was before and we hope it stays so.

Joachim Trensz created a new handicap for NRank using the Redline GTP mod. As usual it is quite challenging and you can find the replays for the laps on his homepage: http://achimt.flog.com/.

Thanks to Uwe Schürkamp, we have now a new URL for the rank: nrank.gplrank.info

The Rank has moved to its new home. Please report errors to the admins - of course we hope there are none ;)

For now there is no difference for the cars. You can just upload any of your four recs files in the upload screen and the rank will use this times. if you want to compare different cars with your friends, the easiest way to do so is creating an individual profile for each car in the NRank.

Gentlemen,

We've done random checks recently across the board and have run into actual cheating of various sorts in positions around 15 or some such. Someone tried to register Cloudy 40∞ replays under a Clear 70∞ ID, someone else shortcut dramatically, yet someone else had clearly too high grip values, things like this.

Also, especially on tracks where shortcutting is possible, many people failed to submit replays when asked to do so, despite the fact that their laps were very recent. This makes us think they had the replay but didn't want us to see it - probably because they were shortcutting...

In the near future there will be further steps to prevent cheating and help our admins to do their job. So if you do not have a replay for a top 20 time on a track, do not waste our and your time and do not upload those times. We are aware, that enforcing replays might handicap people with slow uplinks, but having a world record for a track should be worth it. After all this is still a gentlemen sport and childish and stupid cheating attempts do not belong here.

Thank you for your help and understanding.

We changes some of the tracks that are used for the GNS and CTS handicaps.
Rick Boyd drove the new times. The changes are like this:

• GNS: dropped Gateway, Homestead 2k3 PWF replaces Homestead, Nashville SS DX replaced Nashville PWF, Milwaukee PWF replaced Milwaukee, Lowes Night added
• CTS: dropped Gateway, Homestead 2k3 PWF replaces Homestead 2003, Mansfield PWF replaced Mesa Marin, Atlanta replaced South Boston

Due to some trouble with the Roadone versioning and the problems within the game to save the times there, we have decided to use Roadtwo: Rattlesnake Point instead for the TransAm Master Series. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

As there are new RC released in a amazing rate we decided to add more of the new tracks to our handicaps (also by public demand).

The All Road Tracks is already a huge handicap, so we decided to move the easier/faster tracks into a new handicap TransAm Speed Challenge that makes it easier to get a first handicap and we added some of the new tracks to the All Raod Tracks to fill the gaps.

Kudos to Joachim Trensz for the idea and the laptimes!
