I am sure that the gremlins are living at my end and that this is where the problem lies. It may sound like a dumb question ( I have a lot of those!) but is it reasonable to assume that the "car not present on server" message, does indicate that it actually is a problem matching the cars on my PC and the server?? So, if I had a car in my "C:\PnG3\GameData\Teams\70's Touring" folder that was NOT installed on the server would that screw things up because the 2 lists did not match?? Win 7 Wot is that !!? I have barely progressed to XP. lol...... but I can try and do a "print screen" when I get home this evening your dir sounds fine, mines C:\Program Files (x86)\PnG3\GameData\Teams\Power&Glory\70's Touring. There should be 7 individual car directories under that for the various bmw,porsche etc. and in each of them you will see a load of numbered dirs. and other files relating to each car type. I cant think how your install can lose them between single and multiplayer You haven't got some bastich firewall program partly blocking P&G and GTL have you? Most firewalls let you choose programs to be 'exceptions' and allow them full port access. Hope the servers working as it turns out I am home ...but done bugger all praccy

I only have 5 car folders?
BMW CSL, CHEVY CORVETTE 70, Ford Escort RS2000 Porsche 911
Could it be the missing folders that are causing the problem? and what are they?

Sounds like you have wiped something and need to re-install.

I have done nothing, honest guv! but I do have grandchildren!! I found the missing car files in various places and have re-assembled the full compliment. But still I get the same error message. A re-install looks like the only answer....

Not me. @ fzcfede No problem. Taking out three (3!!!) bemers in two corners suddenly make your little bump well worth.

Nice racing yesterday. Also hats off for teamie MJ who did pretty well for someone who hadn't seen this track before. Nice track, not very difficult, but still nice combination of corners and places where you can make a pass.
On the T7 server i noticed Guiseppe do 1.01's in the 911, however i thought it would be nice to see if i could make the beemer work. Did a 1.02.2 on softs, but opted for mediums on the front on raceday. I was certain i could finish in the top 10 this time.
Luck was not on my side again however.. First of all sorry to MJ for flinging my beemer in front of you at the start. Too much throttle had it spinning to the right. Must have been the Jagermeister.. Wasn't being silly in the first lap and held P10. I got a rear end shunt from ChrisR who spun me around losing 3 places and a lot of ground. Had a good battle with SeniorDan, Matt and Frex for some laps, after that is was a bit lonely. Really like these cars, so i had my fun.

That makes two outings on the trot at this circuit where I have lost a hard earned position on the last lap! And each time to a ruddy Kerbie!!!
Geoffers beat me off the line but his BMW just didn't appear to like the last corner early in the race so I was eventually able to pass him.
But he wouldn't leave me alone and when we encountered Matt and frex on the last lap it was all the invitation that Geoffers needed to jump me. He had a good exit onto the straight and we went into the braking zone side by side, with Matt in there for good measure. I was on the inside and in my attempts to turn inside everyone I did a half spin to a standstill, Geoffers was through and I had no race left to do anything about it.
Bah!!!!!!
Grats to Otto, John and Giuseppe and well done to Geoffers.

Spent most of the race glued to Matt's rear bumper, and much fun it was too. But why did you let me by at one point Wasn't having any of that, so i returned the favour on the back-straight. Got by again near the end, only to lose focus with Clive and Geoff approaching to lap us, and ran a little too wide at T1 on the final lap which allowed you back ahead. I dropped back a bit after that to keep out of the way. Great fun though, thoroughly enjoyed it. Congrats podium.

Chortle. well, neither of us was about to score big points, and 1: I felt I might have been holding you up 2: I wanted some fun seeing if I could hang on to your bumper the way you were managing to in what was a slightly slower car. There were places where you were quicker and you had to lift to avoid contact, and places where I made the time back up. I wanted to do some chasing for a change

Ah ok, fair enough. Certainly no need to let me through because you think you may be holding me up though - that's all part of the fun

Well that turned out to be a great race. I was supposed to be out and MIA but at 8pm found out I was home, but hadn't done any proper laps here jumped on the race server using my Dubai setup and set about learning the thankfully fairly easy layout just before qually. Wasn't expecting much but managed to bother the lower end of the top 10 Race start was good though still got jumped by teamie postal with his lightning starts. But luckily I got ahead on lap 1 and was able to chase Clive and Geoffers hard for a few laps before I ran wide on the sf curved-straight that gave them a few secs gap that I was never able to trouble for the rest of the race I spent 90% of the race in 8th but still finished 10th From a long way back, first animal Ed cruised up and sped past without me bring able to offer resistance, then Goldtop tried to do the same. I was having none of it this time and fought GT tooth and nail for about the last 5 laps! It was a fantastic close action battle, often side by side and no hint of contact great stuff and highlight of my race, even if he still beat me to 9th! Great fun Well done to Otto and podium. But again I have to ask dont detonate your bloody engine on crossing the line!! I was in very close battle with GT and I lifted off the throttle when I saw a big plume of smoke ahead as didn't want to have a last lap incident. That could cost a position

Been having a bit of a lull in PnG lately (too much Assetto Corsa) but decided to join here at the last minute as it's always a fun track. Had some annoying aliasing problems so decided to quickly tweak my settings and rejoin at the back for the race. Turned out to be very entertaining too with lots of close battles and a chase up to the back of MJs RSR. Unfortunately my work was all undone as I whacked my elbow trying to correct a slide into the bus stop and went spinning into the gravel allowing Ed to sail past. It flippin hurt too! Managed to drive through the pain and eventually caught MJ who had now been passed by Ed and guessed would be up for battling. Had a great few laps to the finish and just managed to hold on as we crossed the line. Didn't see the smoke btw as I always drive with fx switched off. Anyway, great racing MJ Congrats to the pody types......sorry to hear that Clive got mugged here again by a Kerbie I'll have to watch the replay
