UKAC Season 14 Can Am - Round 6 - Road Atlanta - Sep 25

[Bob]

In my race MJ only 3 started, just presumed you had connection problems, had a long lonely race, slowed down dramatically to save fuel with one lap to go and was lapped on last lap, the only car I saw all race after the front 2 went off into the distance.

[Stefan aka Postal]

Yeah too bad I couldn't make the last race. Loved racing these beasts. Tnx for organizing!

Really? is that why Fabri asked if i was there at the beginning? I could see all of you and enjoyed battling Bob on occasion! bloody weird if he didnt know i was even there !    But you saw my messages? must have as fabri even said ciao Mark to me! Thats really strange. I left on 35mins of the race when i drafted and overtook Bob on the back straight and he clipped my left rear pitching me into the wall at top speed  Bugger

Loved the cars and track combos for this, cant understand why more didnt want to race it.  All i hear is e-sports this and that these days, you would think the servers were flooded with new drivers but nobody is turning up in this part of the woods to race 

[Fabri Fibra]

I didn't see you, Mark, on track and also on server pilots list.
But I saw your messages. I thought you were not in race, but only spectator.

About setup, I stayed with one similar to Mosport. Car was not friendly and really hard to exit from slow corners. I spun only 2 times.

[Bob]

I had the loneliest of races and cant understand what happened at your end, will look at the replay to see if that sheds any light on it.

[Bob]

Only 3 cars in my replay. The car and track was the best, a great series, thanks.

[picnic]

At least you've appeared in the results MJ!

That's the exact same thing which happened to me a few years ago during one of our AC races when I switched from wlan to lan connection while on the server and without a rejoin (see here: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=14527.15). I wonder if you did the same last night?

[Mark J]

i use a hard wired connection from my pc to the router so no wifi-ing going on.  It had taken me nearly 40mins to get the router working prior to the race but assumed it was all running fine when i joined qually with you guys. Thats bizarre that i could see and race you all the whole time! 
Did wonder how the heck Bob had collected me after my fine overtake  but know the straight kinks left slightly and thought he might have mis-judged the proximity.   
I also fell off the track at one point when i saw Fabri run wide at T1 and thought id be able to pressure him by closing him down, but out-handled my capabilities  now i know he wasnt even aware of my presence
