I suddenly get the blue flag icon flashing like mad, then my radio "You've had 3 blue flags, pull over!", then something or someone half-appeared in front of me, and I was suddenly bearing down much too quick on a Porsche!
I also had this on numerous occasions at the start of the race. At one point a car flashed in front of me and i seemed to drive straight through it. Very strange. |

Im pleased with my how that went. Struggled to break into the 1.29s, which got me 15th place on the grid, which wasnt too great but considering the  who were present it wasnt that bad. Only made one pass the whole race, and the rest of the places i made up due to people going off for various reasons. One thing that put many people off track that i could see was the warpy ghost car thing, Jan and another car went off at T6 because a warper or a ghosty car which gave me there spots. Had a great battle with Backo in the M3, the beemer had the legs on me up the runway and all the straights for that matter which made passing more or less impossible. I could never get too close tho, because when i did his car would warp or be stationary for a split second which hit me on 2 occasions  . My tyres were feeling the strain and i had 2 understeery moments at T4 with put me out on the grass twice and outta touch with Backo  . It was then just a matter of hanging on to my place and finishing the race. Jan was closing in fairly fast near the end and by the end of the race was right on me... Few more laps and he'd of had me for sure !! Cheers Mark |

Again tonight when the race had started i could only see maybe at max 15 cars on the track. These missing cars seem to appear when they get closer. Ive got all settings maxed so cant really see that being the problem. Im now starting to wonder if it could be a problem with either the skin pack or anderstorp, But seen as no one else has similair prob im left scratching my head. Anyone got any ideas? Actually, upon watching my replay, I realised that I could only see from 15th place 'downwards' at the start. Luke and Baracus appear from nowhere at T2 lap 2. Quite bizarre, and I haven't encountered it that bad since I was with Tiscali! |

After a few minor offs i started to settle down and had a ball with baracus and colin. Three of us nose to tail for what mustve been a good 3rd of the race. I had managed to get myself in front and looked good for a 10th place finish until the last lap my brakes just seemed to give up, nearly going off on the 1st bank corner which resulted in losing a place to colin and then again on the final corner my brakes seemed to fail and i ended in gravel with baracus passing leaving me struggling to get out and keep 12th place.
It was great stuff Buckie. To be honest I was shocked to see you run wide, though there was a trail of smoke on lock-up from you! Great stuff! Baracus - surprised I was able to deal with the pressure from you, most of the time you were hiding right behind my rear wing  Colin  |

Houston, we have a problem. Sadly by blindly entering the suggested server name we have no session data  The game doesn't warn you that using a slash isn't too clever, shame how something like this is so obvious after the event. For what it's worth replay is here |

I had the same complaint last season, i too thought i was a problem at my end, but now im nearly sure its a problem with GTR2. |

It felt like i was trying to brake on ice lol. Completley took me by surprise luckily i never took off over the bank.

That was 1 thing i double checked before joining the server tonight. I have it set to 36. Im beginning to think this may be a prob with anderstorp as thats twice on same track with a completly fresh install the 2nd time. I never had this prob in any races last season or during fun races. |

Bad quali for me 25th I hope its because the track/car combo anyway, not a big story to tell, finished back as i started (21th i believe)  btw, despite of someone been 1 or 2 seconds faster per lap, it doesnt gives you the right to push to overtake  the guy in front of you have the right to hold his position, even with a less competitive car, as long as he dont do an unfair driving  Cheers |

No issue there with any other track previously. |

That was a fun race! I think I did more overtaking in that race than all of last season put together! Qualified a contented 12th but made a mistake on one of the early laps and got my left wheels on the dirt braking at the end of the runway whilst side by side with someone and lost a lot of positions (down to 21st i think) then had some really great combat all the way back up the field to where I started! (thanks to some others off's too!) It was great stuff Buckie. To be honest I was shocked to see you run wide, though there was a trail of smoke on lock-up from you! Great stuff! Baracus - surprised I was able to deal with the pressure from you, most of the time you were hiding right behind my rear wing Colin Yes that was the highlight (long one) of the race! You did really well - whenever I got a run on you it was at the wrong place with too short a straight to capitalise. So I thought I would try and keep the pressure on and wait for a mistake from one of you but apart from a few place-swaps it all evened out again and I was stuck! Awesome racing!! |

Using Jan's client exports I have painstakingly attempted to reconstruct the results. The quality of data in client exports in notoriously poor so please could everyone check the results carefully - especially qualifying - and report any errors. Thanks. |

I actually qualified just ahead of Chong, in a time of 1:30.611. |
