This race delayed by 2 days to the Tuesday owing to server problems. Happily that gives us the best part of a week's grace period should we find any problems with the new car pack.

(2) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of everyone's connection will be reduced.
What would the symptoms of this be? Could someone not having ISDN set, be causing the qually drop outs? I've just not seen it mentioned as a possibility IIRC.

In essence the bandwidth used between that client and the server is lower when ISDN is selected which reduces the bandwidth consumption overall. If the server starts to struggle for network bandwidth everyone suffers, and the GTL/GTR multiplayer engine appears to be very sensitive to network problems - but it would be equally so in the race so it's unlikely to be related to our current problems.

Would be good if we could get a good turn out for this to help test the car pack and see if we still get problems.

I'm expecting to be there. are any of you nifty painter types able to knock us up a Legends skin pronto? Either porting our current 996cup skin onto it or even creating a fairly base paint scheme version in our colours..ie pale blue with Orange racing stripe, orange splitters ? [begging mode off]
Im sure even our adversaries would rather see our identifiable colours on the track than a stock skin.
I normally recognise MJ's car as the one dissapearing behind me I'm chuffed Spanner has done this for you, I'd of had a go myself (now I've just read your request) but I couldn't have done it nearly as fast as him!!!

Okay, the announcement has now been updated. Basically, because we still had problems with CTDs last night, I want to do a race with the current car pack, but using the GT3 cars, since there are no add-on GT3s. This should help us to understand whether the cars themselves are at fault, or the skins. This will be a non-championship race, so the results will remain in the system in perpetuity; and since we aren't likely to race at Monza Junior again, tomorrow night's race will establish a lap record there. Naturally I'll be taking the 350Z.

Grammar! There was a small rash of CTDs in qually and I believe a few just before the end of practice too. It did seem better than normal although it wasn't a full grid, and the Sunday nights are usually slightly better.
