Thanks for that Pops  Hopefully be with you morrow but ruddy BT might thwart me.

I tried to join practice last night and still couldnt get on server, was ok earlier in day, im moving ISP's on Friday...

So next week I be sorted..

[Adam Parle]

Ran a few laps last night and pretty much up to speed now - having missed week 1 I'm very much looking forward to tonights race.

Some very impressive times posted last night, and a lot of very similar times too - going to be hard work in qually I think.

Sorry I failed to password the session last night. It wasn't anything weird going on with iRacing, it was me

I was trying to get the session started whilst trying to manage my lunatic boy so I wasn't paying 100% attention (hence my confusion about the 2 sessions I created) and got a 'page not found' error when I launched it.

I think my router rebooted itself so it HAD started the session (which I'd passworded),it took a while to appear in the hosted races list so I'd already assumed it had failed and so clicked 'back' to get back to the create session page where it looked like it had kept all the settings but in fact it hadn't kept the password and I just pressed 'Start' again

That's alright Pops, Ade was the driver that crashed most times so passwording it wouldn't have helped.

That wasn't crashing, that was free form driving cheers for hosting Pops i think i needed the practice.

With that in mind, sorry to Chris Laker for the incident at turn 1, I thought our interloper friend would yield the corner after a) going on the grass and b) being behind and offline. Oh well you live and learn.

lol, no probs. I don't think we could have scripted that incident any better
Practicing with others on the track was a lot better thanks Pops. Will be taking it very easy with the back of the pack tonight thought me thinks.

[Blunder]

Gonna miss this now... gutted  :'(

[Kerr]

I'm working back shift so I'm out too.

[popabawa]

Blimey, there's going to be a lot of guys missing for this

Hope you can all make it for the next league race at Laguna in 2 weeks

(don't forget Silverstone in the Radical next week as well)

[Fred Basset]

Iain, I'll be there in two weeks, I'm only missing it due to having an ISP that has decided to traffic shape when I use the iRacing servers.

I am gutted after putting in the practice :'(

Thanks for arranging all this for us.

I can't speak for others Gary, but I'm quite happy to take the risk of you discoing. I'd much rather see you in the race.

Hope you can all make it for the next league race at Laguna in 2 weeks

My one month trial ends on the 5th, so I'll need to make a decision before then on if I want to continue.


Currently, I'm of the opinion that it is probably more realistic then the next closest thing I drive (PnG), so a good driving experience & I've had no problems with public drivers. Being able to join a race because it's there at "silly o'clock" if great (I think ).
But I'm irritated by the feeling of having my hands tied constantly. Only being able to drive certain things certain weeks, having to practice on my own, having to wait to earn licences to drive a car publicly, only to then find it's the next week & I don't have that track... but if I buy it, it doesn't get used by another series I'm interested in for about 5 weeks! etc (need a tearing my hair out smiley ). So a bit frustrated with it at the moment.

Mind you, Christmas hols would be a good time to have races on tap though  

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Seconded; I'm getting terrible spikes at the moment - it lost me twice in the Laguna race last week, luckily not for long enough to lose track of me completely. I guess the 21CN stuff is playing havoc with BT's antiquated infrastructure.

[Fred Basset]

OK, if no one has any objections I'll give it a try in practice. If anyone wants me out just say.

I've got my MAC code and am talking to Zen about a swap over.

Gary
