I've just been hit with a big workload so will have to sit this one out and probably others over the coming weeks. Have fun.

That total BS, soon as I get in server I noticed that wrong version practised. Tyres didn't take a load and over heated after 3 laps, opening server bit earlier could help...

The server has been up since Monday. Sometimes it inexplicably turns itself off, could have been that

Hi SRW - Looking at the fastest laps above, you've linked to the 60's version of Watkins Glen GP circuit and not the modern Boot. We've never raced the GPL cars on the modern layout.

As the race hasn't been run yet you might be able to fix it by just changing the track in the drop down rather than deleting the event and re-creating it (You'll be lucky to get a Grp C/Modern F1 car around the boot in 1M04s ;) - The DP's are in the 1:30's based on a test race I ran here last year)

This is the correct version: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=26812#event16072 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=26812#event16072)
