Due to the lack of interest in the Skoda series i will be holding a few fun races while we decide on another series to run.

I'm having trouble with this track for some reason. I get error messages while loading and then bad stuttering once I'm on track making it undrivable. I traced the errors down to a KN5 file in the track extension so I removed it and the track loaded with no errors and ran smoothly.

Any chance of getting the server up early so I can check for a mismatch?

Thanks Stephen, joined the server and all seems well. That KN5 texture file was causing me problems for some reason but removing it hasn't caused any mismatch so fingers crossed.

yes and i lost concentration and forgot to pit, i passed the pitlane and realised i was probably not going to make it in time, drove round flat out and as the clock ran down i was in the pit entry but a few secs from the start of the pitlane so got an instant dq

You missed the timer at the top of the screen!

Well i blame Jari for the start. He was revving his engine... sometimes we are doing standing starts, sometimes rolling. ( i would question the point of rolling starts... 20car grids yes.... 4... no)

Clearly not as quick as Jari but was good having someone to chase. gained some time in the pits but not close enough...
