Live Timing with Driver Swap on

[jachaussloef]

With Driver Swap On, multiple GUIDs are associated to one car (slot). In the Live Timing page if the participants are still displayed as players rather than the car, their laps will be recorded respectively, which is difficult to interprete during an endurance race. Since an AC server recognises and recordes the laps of a car (slot) rather than a steam account, it would be better if the Live Timing page combine the infos of different players for the same car (slot).

Hi, thanks for the suggestion!

The times were kept separate originally to keep viewers of live timings informed on which driver is which on the server. Unfortunately just using the car slot for timings can be a little flimsy in some scenarios, so we don't tend to rely on the car ID for anything important.

However I do see your point, and I think the Live Timings could do with some general maintenance around Driver Swaps. Ideally each entrant in the table would be aware if the car has multiple drivers and show both names as well as which driver is currently in the car. Potentially it could indicate when a swap is taking place also.

Thanks again, we'll look into this for our next update
