(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. (4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings pageSpecial Notes: None

Nice one Tony. All went OK on Simbin, Alfa sounds amazing at full chat down those long straights and drives well (for me).

Probably can't run tonight, unable to register can ping gtlsrv.race-game.com but whatever I try in game it "can't connect to server" I think that's just a generic error message though.

Yeah, the error message is usually "General login error" for a Register problem. I didn't even re-register. The boxes were already filled out from the GTL version I'd copied so I thought "what the hell" and went straight to join lobby and to my amazement it worked first time.

Mmm hoped the transit to the new lobby would solve it Tony. Too bad it doesn't seem the remedy. Is it possible to ask people to stay connected during the race, even if they are not continuing? Once again i get a frozen screen when someone leaves during the race. This time i was nicely in third when Hristo left and i was out too, a bit like last week at Istanbul. It is getting a bit annoying and it seems avoidable to me. Or should it be something to do with my pc? Well it was fun while it lasted. Edit: well it seems we had random disco's, so sorry to Hristo who had a disco from the lead, when i thought you just left the game. Congrats to John. Great return!

Well that was intense.
After lap 5 Hristo just boosted away and I can only assume he had problems a few laps later as I got passed him then I spun and he went passed me then he left. (I can only assume Disco)
At the start of the last lap I noticed I was very low on fuel the light was flashing so I done the last lap at 80MPh in 4th and made it (somehow)
Great race see you next time folks.

3rd connection lost in 4 races, always near the end with few laps to go. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with either the server or the line between myself and the server. No issues whatsoever on other sims/leagues and online games. It also used to be just fine when I was driving in UKGTL before. Never had a disco back then. Quicksilver, I had to slow down to pick up my speaker which fell on the floor because of the FF, lol. Congrats for the win!

Replay and truncated results posted.
It looks like Roger was problematic. I noticed you were getting track miss-match messages and also your times were always at the bottom of the listings in my XD even though they were faster than some others. I will remind all drivers that it is important that you download your track from this site to ensure that we are all running the same track version.

Thanks all for the racing, I was also plagued with a number of Disco's thru out the evening, I even switched over to another ISP Link. Had a bad start, forgot where first gear was, "LOL", countdown came and everyone launched but me, I was still In neutral, quickly fixed that, sorry to the guys behind me causing confusion at the start. Once I was mobile the plan was not to be brave and maintain a steady pace, I was maintaining the I think it was Postal and we where slowly catching the guy up ahead, Goldtop was very quick in the beginning and was able to catch us thru the slower sections before the pits. After I had a off the gap due to me own fault I lost the tow and decided just to finish, was still able to keep Goltop behind at this stage. On the third last lap I was concerned on the fuel consumption so I slowed down and short shifted trying to make it to the end. I had inherited 2nd spot at this stage, obviously the guys ahead of me had had there own issues, needless to say I fell victim to a final Lap "DISCO". !!!! A well, at some point I am sure this problem will sorted, ill take it as a mechanical failure of some kind.
