Have I been sacked from your team Bob? I was wearing pink, honest.
According to your profile you only signed for the team for UKGTL Season 5...

What a start of the season. After just one race already the best finishing spot for me personally and also the most championship points ever for 'Gentleman Drivers Club' . Lap 1 was a bit rude with Geoffers giving me a hard kiss from the back (NP Geoffers, glad we both could proceed and have a decent race) After that had to start from the back and had a fun race with action all the time. In the end i made a few mistakes what resulted in a sprint to the finish with Matt Rowe . PS. Sandor, finally our flat four experience paid off Yeah, it was just like driving my own 1300 down the road , only with some extra HP

Really up and down race, Got a decent start but New Bara was there at paddock and left him room and he went through . As Bara always go's quicker through the race i new it was gonna be a good battle Made a little mistake and Bara pulled a second on me but i started to draw him in when his car froze right on the entry to dingle dell, braked and tried to miss him but just clipped his car and went flying into the barriers..Gutted . This tore off my front bumper and twisted all the steering but decided to go on. Oily and PR were in front of me now , oily made a mistake and me a PR had a good battle with PR being very crafty with his race craft but fair I tried to cut back going on to bottom bend but just clipped PR and we both spun sorry mate. Had a good battle with Oily and pr again until pR got held up at sterlings and i got through to 2nd , caught oily who was driving well aand managed to get through and was managing to hold a gap from PR until i spun at sterlings and couldnt find neutral or reverse then i stalled it and couldnt remember where the starter button was so just sat there like a lemming facing the barrier. Anyway an exciting race ..grats to podium. Cheers

Fun race last night. Was way off the pace but drove consistently and watched everybody fall off around me! Did a PB in Quali and the Race! Lack of a good set up and talent held me back! Bumped off the track by Matt, while giving him room to overtake Will review the replay Thanks all. M

Yeah does sound familiar actually pseudo - it's almost as if when there's a CTD for whatever reason, it doesn't close the port/ connection with the server properly leaving it busy for the rest of the session. I'm sure somebody can do a better job of explaining this but I had it a lot at one stage.
I still to this day don't know a definitive answer to sorting it as I upgraded machine and haven't had it since, but typing "ipconfig /renew" in your command window can help sometimes!

Oh I see, yes indeed. Damn. Sorry Phil.... I forgot to change it.....now fixed Thanks Bob. Shame the team missed out on the points. Never mind, my fault.

Can't do a better job of explaining it but that concurs fully with what I've experienced when I've had a crash while online. In my case I rebooted the router each time, which in effect gave me a new ip address and allowed me back in.

Ok...thanks chaps....I will try that if it ever happens again. I was a bit gutted last night....I love driving Brands and was on the pace in praccy so could have been a good race for me....been watching the replay and there looks like some great racing and excellent battles going on Start didnt look too bad either

Restarting the router didn't work, tried it 5 times and still the same thing. Don't know what made it work again afterwards.

My Two farthings.
Great race, really enjoyed it, despite the frustration of the way those Porches handle or don't. Sincere appologies to Mr Blunder, was not aware he was trying to let me past could not understand why he braked so early and stayed off the power so long while I was desperately trying to slow, different viewpoint I guess, I could see no way to avoid on the inside or the outside, and I am just not good enough to try a pass there anyway. Ah well newbie error I guess.
Thanks to organisers. Matt.

Don't beat yourself up about it Matt. All of us have done it before and will likely do it again!? Bit frustrated at the time but luckily it didn't really effect my race. I was way slow and chose not to fight for that position as you were way quicker. Better to let you through and avoid an incident!? Err.... ok may be I should have let you past on the straight!? No worries! M.
