On the reboot issue it could be that you are running hamachi in the background as well as teamspeak and one or both of them does not like the combination with your game.
I can run Skype in the background with RFactor but with GPL it does not like it and will cause issues. Try running in lan but leave teamspeak disabled for awhile and see what happens. I have not had any problems with Hamachi and my game so far.

BTW sorry bout the hit last night Jeff at Sebring. I saw the Pantera coming and going down the inside on my look right. I was really trying to let you by but missed my braking point and tagged your rear. I thought of waiting for you to let you by but you never appeared in my mirrors so I soldiered on.
Was about as stupid as running out of gas at Brands in the Falcon. Thats racing [wiggle]

No worries Pat. The Pantera needs a really early braking point as it's quick on the straights but not in the slow corners, plus it really doesn't like trail braking.

It's possible my reboot issue is related to some combination of things running in the background and / or hardware. I'll try to sort that out before the next session.

I'm really disappointed that I crashed (my PC) at Brands Hatch as I having a blast in the Elite with it's superior cornering but lack of straight line speed. In fact I was finally putting a move on Mike, after following closely him closely for 2 or 3 laps, in the corner before the front straight when it happened.

It was a good run. You would pass me entering the corners and then I would be able to make up some time on the straights. That old Mustang is a handful!

Looking forward to the next time.

That was my first true mechanical failure in online racing. I'll have new pedals for next week.

Sorry for the last corner hit at Anderstrop Pat. I got off in the grass on the exit of the corner before and gone was the braking.

Got my main computer back up and running, with duct tape and bubble gum.

So here are the rest from the events. Tried to keep it to 10 per race.

Y'know, from that photo I'm not sure if I want to meet up with you lads on a real race track! [eek2] [wink]
