Really sorry that I had to quit the race as I was seriously enjoying the challenge. But I had a strange anomaly with Dan or Dan's car.
Throughout quali his name was flashing across every screen except the "on track" view and when we joined the grid it all seemed to be OK.
But during the race he was showing as 120+ secs behind until I got a tank slapper out of one of the fast corners, Matt and Geoffers went past as I expected and as I got up to speed I glaned at positions and Dan was now 5 secs in front ?! hmmmm?? When I closed the 5 sec gap there was no car on the track??? so I turned on the name tags (tab key ) and there right on the end of my bonnet was Snr Dan's flag....but no car visible.
I was definitely quicker than the flag that I could see, but I dare not risk a pass on such narrow roads until "the flag" appeared to run wide and I gave as much room as I could and went through. Once behind me it showed Dan as some 80 secs adrift. A small mistake later and the phantom flag suddenly re-appeared bang in front of me, with no visible car???
At points on the track I was closing too fast and had to brake or lift where I did not want to just in case I collected Dan, eventually I hit the scenery too hard and bounced back onto the track with a stalled engine right in front of Rog...…...decided it was better to retire
I don't know if was my PC, the server or Dan's PC but it was very disorientating trying to race a phantom with a flag lol. Hope you all had fun and see you in the New Year.
