Thanks Ced and James, the fix is working for me, just quickly went to the server and I could see everyone there without any trouble, and it loaded the track without a pause as well.
Thanks for the rush fix on this guys.

I highly recommend everyone that had issues do what I did to resolve it...
Back up your IMSA_V3 folder, do a clean rFactorLite install, then install the Track and Car Packs, then move your Player and Controllers Folders over.
This resolved all the issues RWR had on the 2 computers.

Bad luck for me thist time. I'm finally getting a handle on the March and had a good run going, but a disconnect ended my night. Hard to say why it happened but it did. Hopefully that's my last disco for a long while. Hopefully the rest of you had a great, disco free, race. Good to see so many cars out there tonight.  SandyR |

It was fun to be racing again after some time off. The Quixotic race team's switch from Jags to Porsche worked out well. Rick and I were turning some good laps in 5th and 4th untill oldtimers brain fade caused me to check out the slip and slide on the grass. After 2 more glitches trying to get my JuJu back I fell back to 8th. Good to see all the racers. See you all in December.

Well I was a mad man tonight. I hope I didn't cause anyone any problems. I simply made a lot of stupid mistakes. I had some awfully close calls with some of you. Like I said .......if I tapped you I didn't mean to.
Congrats to Vettel, uh I mean Urban.
I really enjoyed my race with Lead Sled. Just made a huge mistake going on to the start/finish straight. And.........who spins in the pits? Both of my pit stops were exercises in ineptness. And I really thank John for that last second gift he gave me. :-)
What a great turnout.

Yep, different running the Porsche. Q'd way in the back as I see I was running way more wing then a few of you. Pretty much just picked up spots thru attrition and running 1 boost for gas mileage. Brain fade before start as I knew it was going to be a 2 stopper and forgot to save after I changed my set-up, crap. That cost a good 10 seconds fumbling with the buttons to lower my gas intake. Then had to avoid a Spun Bob down the straight with J Bowders right next to me, tapped the wall pretty good causing front damage that really hurt handling in the closing laps. Sorry to John on that last lap, I waited after our contact as the car was just squirrely, Congrats to Mark on the Win and a BIG THANKS to All the drivers who came out tonight and who gave room to get by on this fast track. Cya next race....................

Well that was a good race, I should have cut down the boost once I was a few laps in, then I may have had some fuel to prevent a quick stop after the five minutes to go mark. Start of the race made me realize I need to work on my starts, didn't have enough revs to get the Mazda rolling, got a tap to get going though.
I'm happy with 9th, considering all that happened, and somehow pulled a miracle off, when my car went onto the grass, and then things got really bouncy and the car went across the track, I saw two flashes of green that were two jags, they somehow missed me, and I missed the walls, so that's a success for me.
Great to be back, and with a big crowd again.

Had a great race at the start, except for the start, I seem to be getting off the line much faster than a lot of others causing me to all but run them over, for that I am sorry. I'll try to be slower off the line (I have that Patented Red Weasel Works Launch Control). All was good I was running up in the top 10 early on when I had an issue with the outside curbing of the last turn… put me hard nose first into the less than softer barrier down by the grandstands and broke my car pretty bad, ended up, out on track blocking it with a flat left rear fight to get righted and back around to get into the pits.
Car serviced and most of the repairs completed, they left the broken left front something or another, my steering wheel was cocked about 9 degrees left to go straight, had a keen desire to drift right, and it really hated turning right, not an issues except for the majority of turns around this track. I had to feel out the car for a few laps to see what it was going to do and then I was back up to almost what I expected to run undamaged. But car control was a little iffy. I did try to make it easy for faster cars to pass, some didn’t quite get by as quickly as I would have liked, but hey it is early in the season. We will get used to each other again.
Miss Susan ran up on the same curb and went off wide as I did, (Our set up did have just a little push to it) and after about 6 laps she was frustrated trying to get back on track she finally resigned to reach up and hit the Esc key and bail.
I was able to slowly work my bent Jag back up to just outside the top 10 for the finish, but I did have to stop for fuel, thirsty cat… she can really suck it down, I forgot to map my boost adjust to my wheel with the new build.
Some exciting moments: Rick had just passed me coming onto the front straight, Bob was doing automotive ballet down around the start finish line, Rick came jinking over a little hard into the pitwall to avoid Bob, and I just tucked up behind Rick and we made it through. Near the End Sheldon had come up on me and I flashed him by and realized it was for position, so I had to race him… going into T1 he lifted a moment early and I tapped him to send him off to the left, so I did a Gentleman’s Agreement and allowed him to get back on track and took the spot respectfully and not with a bump and run. (I should have given him more room, it was late in the race and I figured if I was damaged, he must be too… by this time I think everyone may have had a little damage)
Well, Mark took the win with a damaged car… and I was happy to finish with a damaged car.
Oh, Yea… Let’s not forget our fantastic Admin Ced, so in tuned with the competitive spirit he spent most of his race trimming the grass along the sides of the track so we all could see the track edge better. I mentioned I should do a Commemorative John Deere paint scheme for his car for our next outing. I want to thank him for the great work on and off the track getting us up and running this season.

Getting off the line for the starts has been my problem now for some time. I will work on that before the next race since it is costing me better finishes. Started from pole by .002 over Mark and spun my way to last. Even when you lift the car just keeps spinning. Finally got going and was working my way through the field. Came off the last corner and hooked the curb on exit and KABLAMO stright into the wall. Destroyed my front end limped around for a lap to the pits. My crew did a decent job in trying to repair the mangled mess I brought them. Came out and car was never the same. I was 2 seconds per lap slower and all I could do was try and fight my way to the end. Was up to P4 and on the last lap lost it coming onto the back straight, might have had a little help, but whoever it was waited for me to get going and did not pass. Much appreciated . Then into the hairpin I lost my braking point and had more damage so straight off I went and lost P4 and P5 so I finished P6. I really liked this track and was looking forward to battling with Mark, but it was not to be. Next race will be better. Congrats to Mark and all the podium finishers. Was great to have a nice field last night and hats off to CED for putting this all together |

Well I should have stayed with the 962. Figured I would give the Ford an outing and just couldn't get a handle on it. Thanks to all that made it out, was good to see some old PORRS drivers back out. going to be an interesting season  |

That was ok at T1 James, racing incident, but thanks for sticking around till I got going again I am pretty sure I had some damage already at that point, I had some earlier offs and then some yet later ones ;D But I did enjoy that track once I got somewhat used to it ! |
