Good race, for once the pit crew did exactly what they were supposed to
had some good dices with Spanner, rammed him up the arterial when he took a slow down right in front of me
had I been more attentive i might have avoided, but caught me out, sorry. Was looking on for 5th when two warnings for other
people came up, and I was distracted enough to put it on the grass allowing spanner to sail past and take 5th back again
@Anty. it has nothing whatsoever in any way at all to do with anyone's download speed, we have had years of running
events here, and it is more to do with packet loss than throughput. You weren't "lagging" when i was following you in qual, but you
were flickering in and out of view. This game seems to have low tolerance of missing data, some sims do prediction
so if it loses some packets your car keeps going in the same direction and speed as it last was until you resync
that is what happens when people jump around back and forth etc. This is not like that, people just dissappear and reapear.
Stig has a very fast connection in Denmark, but over the years he has had some bad luck with being dropped from races etc.
it's all about consistent quality, not speed as such. I haven't done a traceroute to you, but the route from South Africa has to be
more convoluted than from within UK or western Europe. Some remote people have had a better connection to my home brew server
than our paid for one, because the route to them is kinder, but our paid for one is much more reliable so we stick with it.
I expect Sunday evening is a busier time for domestic internet than Thursday evening, which is probably why your South African
packets are being dropped somewhere around Egypt perhaps....
Life's a beach and then you fry.
