I am getting quite used to being disco'd in races recently. But this seemed a little harsh!! About 12 minutes of qually still to go and I get a sudden black screen and GPL completely crashes back to Igor, not like my usual gremlin activity. Immediately I try and rejoin server but join button is greyed out. Igor will not let me join the race because IT IS FULL?? It almost seemed like I was replaced??? Probably just coincidence that whoever joined last saw the vacancy just as I was ejected....rats!! UPDATE Well it appears that the server was shut down lol...so not a disco. I guess I was just the first to go lol. Not that it mattered much, lesmo 2 became a scrap metal dealers heaven on lap 1 and my race was over. /

when you get disco / crash like that you will still be listed by igor as still being on the server . however when you get a disco from a sever you sometimes have to wait a couple of minutes till the server works out you have discoed and you can join again , you could re join straight away with another name , but you will lose any time you set . john

Very sorry about the confusion guys. There were only 13 drivers at 9pm. Went and made a cup of tea and suddenly 28 drivers d'oh. Had to crash T7 so sorry about that. I will do the import tomorrow. As for my race had fun catching Bernie after I blew my engine off the line (again) and then... blew my engine... Not sure what Johnny P had done but I think he left the handbrake on One last thing... had so little time to join that I am not sure what I drove... I'll find out tomorrow!

I think your right Paul. I did no practice just grabbed a car at 9 .00pm and just sorted the tyres and gears out but could not believe I was 10 seconds a lap down. It was handling ok but had no speed- maybe I'll give the 69's a miss.

NOOOO... get back in boy... Your wings must have been set fat - makes a HUGE difference. I actually thought you were in a 65... Just checked the replay to see whether I needed to apologise to Bernie for our coming together on Lap 13.... I don't!

Not that it mattered much, lesmo 2 became a scrap metal dealers heaven on lap 1 and my race was over. / Guilty I'm afraid. I tried a move down the inside of Attilio and was alongside, but he mustn't have seen me and when he turned in I braked and span...I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. Sorry everyone. Bob. P.S re the conversation about joining last min and being miles off the pace, I didn't have a setup and didn't really know which car to take, but after a visit to the alternative db I d/l'd a steve cloyd setup for the brab and it worked a treat, pity my driving didn't live up to it.

Just checked the replay to see whether I needed to apologise to Bernie for our coming together on Lap 13.... I don't! But i might have to , another late joiner here , grabbed the lotus which I found was handling like a shopping trolley , tried to sort it in qually but made things worse , kept going into snap oversteer in curva grand , darting all over the track and dead slow out of every corner escp. parabolica where you really need the speed for the straight . tow was no good either just got left for dead by those who lapped me , getting lapped at Monza isnt my idea of fun , think ill kick the 69X in touch , cant get to grips with them , never have done , and seems I never will Sorry for the contact Paul not seen the replay so not sure yet what happend (thought maybe you were trying to lap me ) , hope you enjoyed the piggy back ride even if a little brief Grats to the podium boys

Yeah, guilty of this one I guess, as I completely missed Bob sneaking by at the first of Lesmo, and just went for the apex at the second. I was following Paolo (?) and playing a bit with the gas to make sure I wouldnt rearend him at Lesmo2, so, I guess that helped Bob to gain almost complete overlap by the second bend. I suppose that one is on me, apologies to all involved guys, still why people go for a move like that, in the tighest corner and at L1 of a drafting race is beyond me, especially with these wide cars..I know thats not everybody's mentality, but with a bit of patience it would have been a really fun race with many cars fighting for a podium finish. I was actually by myself for 2 thirds of the time, at Monza.. I had taken out some wing for the race, knowing it was going to hit my laptimes, but thinking in a drafting race that wouldnt really be noticable and it would give me some margin if it went to the wire, not a good idea, it made me so tentative in the bends I couldnt even keep up with H's tow! In the end I was serenely taken out by a semi-out of control Paolo, had to S&R and S&G, still made it third across the line but I suppose it wont hold..Grats H, and finishers.

I'm very frustrated with both Mercaldos. After one of them turned into me without reason on the s/f straight before the server restart and ruined my lap, I then had to completely slow down to evade a 90 degree bad rejoin by Marco at Parabolica and then he did exactly the same thing as what I mentioned happened in the first qualifying session, squeezing me to the left as I was lapping him and causing an accident, which dropped me from a 10 seconds lead down to 3rd place behind Art. And then there's Piero, who is driving like a maniac, attacking at every possible place regardless whether there's enough room or not, as well as squeezing on corner exits and not only putting us both under risk, but losing us a lot of time and allowing Art to close in. I had to do some extreme evasion action and take ridiculous lines to give him room and save myself from being rearended. Fortunately I had my car setup for straight line speed and with some on-the-edge driving through the slower corners, I managed to escape in front again near the end.
It was a very very intense race, but not really enjoyable. It's not fun racing with people who are barely in control and don't know how to race.

Shame Hristo - the Heavies was quite good fun. @Bernie - stick with it mate and I'll give you some wheel to wheel. You slid into me but that is racing. I am not going to report it and you could save the mod some work by not reporting it either... who is the series Mod? While I am on, sorry that the Race 3 hasn't been finished I have a bad chest infection and I haven't been around too much... I'll try and get it done tomorrow.
