Sorry I had to leave last night but my game kept misbehaving, I've honestly never had connection issues before, the only thing I did different was clear my cache (I hope that hasn't wrecked my online play!)
When I hit exit to go back to the lobby to adjust my transmission in race 1 the game just hung, I had to restart the game to get back in, managed to get a couple of qualifying laps in and did a 1:54.630 followed by a 1:54.4 which showed me as pole position. Got the message to enter the pits then the countdown started immediately after so I didn't have a chance to pit. During the count down it stopped at 17 secs, when the race started I was at the back of the field with the 17 secs left in the middle of the screen, I got no keep brakes on warning or race start countdown and so I ended up with a false start! Because of this I didn't dare enter the pits and decided I'd have to try and make my tyres last, the final lap was tricky with bald front tyres!
The exact same thing happened on race 2 with the countdown stopping at 17 secs, again I figured a pit stop wouldn't be a good idea as I'd probably end up stuck there for ages, I got knocked and spun into the gravel while leading on lap 14 which killed my rear tyres, I had to retire on about lap 24.
Just wanted to explain why I had to leave as it's not something I would normally do, rant over

There were a lot of glitches going on, especially in race 2 and 3. In race 2 I never even saw hutjung in the race, in race 3 only 5 cars showed for me.
Hopefully it was just a one time thing.
I had a good time until the last race...... I got rammed hard 3 times early on and it was all downhill from there. Bad part is, the guy that rammed me didn't even know I was there. Same thing happend to me in a race a couple months ago at Laguna Seca, after the race a guy asked me why I rammed him in the corkscrew but his car never even showed up in my race or on my replay. He and I exchanged replays and they were completely different.

Apart from the slight hitch, I thought it was fantastic stuff tonight! First time I've done some decent length online races, and they were all really enjoyable!
I agree, it was a good time and some great racing. I might have given you a good race in the first one, but I was racing with flsurfisher and he got a penalty for cutting a corner, I wasn't sure if it was my fault or not, so I slowed down until he caught and passed me. From then on it was impossible for me to make up that much time, I even ran with no pitstop, which was a mistake.

I wish there was a overhead race cam. Like from a helicopter! That would have replayed really well for Grand Valley East! That track was fast and it took awhile for there to be seperation. Then there were battles all over the place!

Don't know what the deal was with that. I reset my modem just before coming on. Speed was over 20mbps up and over 3mbps down. I plugged the moden directly into the PS3. Nat was 1. Doesn't get any better than that. Do I need to log out and clear after each race? Maybe. Tomorrow I won't log out between 1 & 2 and will log out between 2 & 3 and see how it goes. Sorry that you had such issues. Enjoyed having you race with us! We need good drivers!

Yeah my connection is usually really good, around 25 dl and 5 ul, hopefully just a one off. You shouldn't need to log out and clear after each race, I've certainly never seen anyone do that...
Thanks for the compliment, I'm usually a bit quicker around nurburgring, the bad start put me at somewhat of a disadvantage and when I caught you and bo I made an unusual mistake which knocked me back again. Someone is certainly gonna need to be good to beat hutjung, he was very quick and consistent, I noticed him enter the pits on lap 1 in race 2, was that to give someone else a chance to win, lol

Scratch that, tomorrow is a no-go for me. Looking forward to the historic next month.

It was probably a one time thing, I've seen it happen occasionaly in other series also. I'm sure you know this already, but make sure you have mics turned off in your lobby options and set race quality to "standard". This won't affect the racing and will help for anyone with a marginal connection (not all these problems are related to the host).
Other than the connection issues, I thought the racing was great, it was very clean racing and very enjoyable.
BTW, count me in for today.

Was tremendous fun last night, had to bail last night, was absolutely shattered.
Will be about this afternoon/evenig though for more chaos.
Grand Valley was great fun, apart from my iunability to stay on the track
