Mike, when you can't get past a screen showing another drivers name and you get the flashing you describe it means that you do not have the car that that driver is using correctly installed.

In order to race online, you must have all of the cars correctly installed on your system, even the ones you do not intend to use yourself.

Thanks Tony, I installed all the cars and sounds in the set I downloaded but it appears something went wrong. I will reinstall again this evening. BTW I can see all the cars in my garage and can use them off-line, a bit strange? I guess my installation got corrupted.

I don't think i was DQ in Race 2 Tony but I'll check the replay.

Ok, let me know and I'll change/fix it.

Yep, no DQ.

DQ now removed.

DD should be 2nd.

Thank you, now corrected.

I would say that Mini in race 3 was 'at least' competitive Geoff, if not class leading.....no excuses for you any more there 

Some good stuff last night.

Made a hash of race 1, but got a couple of OK laps out of the Suzuki eventually. It is very slow in comparison to the bigger engine cars of Division 0.5 though, 6 seconds off the pace....as long as that is in line with the Giannini 500 then I guess all is good there though.

NSU TTS was a nice drive, and more benign than the usual NSU TT. Showed decent pace, but not easy to pull away from the Simca and Mini.

NSU TT1200 was back to the usual though, will spin like a waltzer if you are not careful to operate within its limits, as I proved on the back straight (sorry Tony!), and not as competitive as the TTS maybe.....

Escort BDB needs more setup, mine wasn't quite there and Dan looked pretty stable at the same pace as me in the Alfa, whilst I was all over the place. Good fun as always though, but not as fast in that car as I was last time I used it here....

Looking forward to the years racing....

Yes Daz the 1275 Mini really surprised me, I honestly thought I would struggle for pace in it. It actually feels more sluggish than the 1000 Mini I used earlier, but clearly isn't. I actually went 2s faster in the race than I had achieved in testing!

Minis are least powerful cars in their classes.
- 850 was not changed from last year. It has 70hp if I recall right.
- 1000 has ~103 hp (while all the others in same class have 108-118hp). Last year Cooper 970 S had 115hp.
- 1275GT has actually around 8 hp less than last year. (140 vs. 132) This year's version is based on real world torque curve of the #15 car.

For example, Escort 1000 BD has ~30 hp MORE than Mini 1000, but has also a lot more mass, torque and much bigger coeffient drag / frontal area.

In my AI driven tests 1600cc cars are about 2.5 seconds faster than 1300cc cars, so Donington National as track, plus the shear volume of 1300cc cars in Div 2 race definitely effected the out come of the result. I doubt that Geoffers is losing himself with Escort TC when comparing his 1275GT lap times.

Except classes for new cars no further problems detected.

Concerning personal skins: Nappe, did you make any graphical changes too or can we use skins from the original mods, as I'm unable to paint?  

Missed Race 2 due to lost connection.    However nice and funny cars. Great work, Nappe!  
Well known problem here: I have a stable connection until I leave the game for whatever reason. When reentering I nearly always loose connection.  
Need to shut the game down completely and restart it for again having a stable connection.

Thanks for the results Kurt

Depends on car how much work is needed to bring the skin to this variation. Which car/skin you had in your mind?

After my problems on  Monday I tidied things up and did a fresh install. I have tried 90% of the cars, they all work fine offline with the exception of the Capri 2300 which causes the SIM to CTD every time. Anyone else have this problem?  I see some used it in a race so it looks to be confined to me making me wonder if I will be able to join on-line races. I have all the cars in the set in my garage.

Can you provide a trace file Mike?
