Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

practice 2 is starting

Denis Betty · Aug 24, 2014

Well, it happened again. Sometimes, as the server rolls over from one session to another, my game CTD's. This is the 3rd time (at least) that it's happened rolling over to "Race" and the 2nd time that it's happened when I'm on pole (even though three guys deliberately DQ'd).
This is getting RIGHT on my man boobs now.
If anybody has any idea how I can stop this from happening again PLEASE help.
I don't smoke, but I'm going outside for a cigarette now. I'll resist the temptation to take a hand gun with me.
STREWTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Rui F. Martins · Aug 24, 2014

I had a great time tonigthbut unfortunately it ended earlier on race 2. After a good qualy and a nice race, with a couple of nice battles during alnmost every lap, but suddenly i lost the back of the car going into the hairpin and sligthly hit the wall, no problem there, the problem was that the car skidded along the wall straigth into the tire wall with me unable to brakke or steer, i hit the tire barrier not vey fast, but fast enoug to kill the engine, and i didn't went further, and this had to happen on a race were i was doing well

well, at least i enjoyed the time i was racing, thank you for the races and congratulations to those who finished and to the top3m see you guys next week

I used to CTD a lot when we raced at Monza 10k- Le Mans
then I adjusted the Upload rating and Download rating in Multiplayer Options
from 256 kbps to 8200 kbps then I haven't CTD since.
on the RD server in settings it says 8042 kbps.

Thank you for your help Stig. I've changed the settings as you advised. If it stops the CTD's I'll post it in the hints & tips thread (and credit you of course).
Cheers.

Disappointment here also because I lost both engines, race 1 near the end of the race and race 2 while trying to exit he pit stop, reviving the motor while anticipating the end of the pit stop time, I let the clutch out and bam.......done.

Thanks Yves ...great track/car combo. Good to see large numbers. WD podiums.
