That was absolutely epic, guys.
Yes, there were net-code issues, yes we had some initial problems with the servers and yes there were a few racing incidents.
Not to mention there was a certain amount of confusion re. the pit-stops.
Personally, I had my crew change the tires again after one lap, because I didn't hit the Drive-through button......
But all in all, it was a very clean race especially given the grid-size.
I've had a quick look at the replay, and without fault anybody who caused an incident gave back the position.
Really can't ask for more than that.
And my thanks to everybody for making this such a joy.
Couple of notes:
If you're flickering, don't quit right away. I had a few people disappear on me, only to re-appear half a lap later and without any further issues. So the problem might go away.
Granted, if you keep getting reports of flickering lap after lap, then you might consider logging off.
Same goes if you cause an incident. Don't quit.
Just give the position back, and continue on your merry way.
Racing-incidents are obviously not fun, but they are almost inevitable when you mix people with very different skill-levels.
As long as people learn from their mistakes, everything is good.
Finally, for those interested, I've uploaded the .vcr file here:

(And yes I know there's a typo in the file-name....Live with it.
)
Simply copy into

and you can open it in R3E.
Once again, my thanks to everybody for a great evening.
Cheers,
