This should be a great circuit for F2's.
Unfortunately Goodwood does have a reputation for random discos. Some races run totally without any problems and another race can disco 75% of the field. I hope we get 2 soild races and everyone finishes because this will be a fun track i am sure.

Sorry for the wrong laps I did not see in race 1... Joining the grid in race 2 I had an error message, but by klicking ok, a flickering windows bar remained . So I decided to leave after I was turned around in T2

Race 1 - In a comfortable second place with 1.5 laps to go and then screen freeze :'(
Race 2 - Thought I'd picked my way through the carnage at T1 but then got rear ended. Practically last when I got going but had some great battles through the field with Rog, Dave C and Goran.
I had turned the graphics down a bit more for the second race (from about 30% to 25%) and hence no screen freeze. Screen freezes do seem to be linked to graphics settings, any more than 25% and screen freezes appear more likely. I noticed in chat that some people were getting screen freezes.
On a separate issue I can't get into the UKGPL chatroom in IGOR. I've tried resetting the password but no joy. I can get into the GPL chatroom so it looks like the shadow world bit is working OK. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Having some wheel problems. Firstly the button I was using to upshift stopped working which severly curtailed practice. I reassigned different buttons & was running a (personally) impressive 4th in Race 1 (largely due to other drivers getting tangled up). Touched wheels with JR about lap 8 then made a series of silly errors. Retired early to throw a Lotus set up together for race 2. About lap 3 the brake pedal snapped - game over. Moral of the story - the Fearrai Thrustmaster wheel is RUBBISH. Have ordered a new Logitec which I am fully expecting to take 5 secs a lap off my times -you have been warned! Not really had chance to pratice properly for this F2 Mini-series but it is great fun. Aiming to be back for Silverstone if not before.

I cannot access any chat rooms via Igor Phil. I lost that ability when Virgin "upgraded" their AV service I think Jason had similar issues with his Virgin connection. Strangely enough though, if I open the old VROC chat it all works, apparently they both use the same chatroom system. It does mean that I have Igor open to monitor the servers etc and Vroc open for chat but at least it works. I cannot explain why VROC chat will work yet Igor won't when they are the same chatroom??!! I assume it must be something within the Virgin AV software that prevents it.

Something like that Clive. I use mIRC as a chat client - it can handle multiple networks as well as multiple channels so in the same window as I use for shadowworld/gpl is also have quakenet/clanbase Sadly I had to miss last nights race - I was at a wine tasting session at the local Majestic warehouse. Got quite tipsy sampling some quite excellent wines. Free cheese and meat thrown in to the bargain too! Interesting to note that not one person present was using the spit bucket or rinsing the pallet with water between wines! We were all just slugging it down

Need oodles of practice, I find these babies very skittish under braking - went back today and had a play, best time of 1:21.9 so long way to go. Got the under/oversteer sorted but I can't stop spinning these cars unless I am braking in a straight line. Keep clipping the grass and spinning - hence the woeful qualifying times... I'll have to get Mini to give me some lessons...

Thanks to Clive and Jason for the advice on the chat room issue. I'll use VROC for the chatroom in future.
