    Welcome to round 5, Historic Spa!
    This 1970s version of Spa is a work of art and a true challenge!
    This 14.11 km (8.77 mi) lap will bring the RSR to its knees.
    The flat-out sections will take the 3.0-liter to max revs, challenging its life span.​

    I'm working the early shift at work for this one (6 am - 2:30), so Ken is going to step in and get the server started on time! I plan to make the race by taking an early extended lunch as my work is less than a mile away:D.. Shhh ... so I hope to be on the server by Q time ..unless I get caught up with work..:rolleyes:o_O
    I don't want to miss this one! ;)

    I myself won't be racing tonight, but I will ensure that Qualifying starts at the designated time.

    Missed the deadline by a couple of mins, sorry about that. But looks like everything seems to be going ok.

    Game froze just after the start then CTD. Don't know why, sorry to anyone that piled into me. My screen when Black but I could hear a lot of crunching noises so I assume they did. Sorry again

    Sorry to hear that, I didnt see any crashes, but it just looked like you had bad ping and then vanished

    I wondered what happened?? I saw your car warp ahead of us about 6 feet off the ground lol. I had already hit the wall & hope I didn't cause anyone any damage as well .. had to do the 30 min with sus & body damage tanking my top speeds, but it was still white knuckles fun trying to drive on the edge with this car .. I love how the weight transfer feels so real and how you can make the car move with the throttle!

    What happened to Ed? The results have him gone? That pushed me up to 3rd, but I think he finished 3rd & left the server right away? It will remove you from the standings if you leave early & don't wait for the timer to tick down .. maybe he had a disco?
    Was everyone on 1.6.6.3 ? it came out on Friday, I think ..Hot fix ..

    Pretty sure he was 3rd behind me. I carried on with the race timer going because of the issues the previous week and eventually got pushed back to the results screen

    p.s. I had one freeze in the middle of the race on one of the straights which lasted for at least 1 to 2 seconds where I slowed to avoid any unseen crashing. It came back ok but wonder if anyone else got the same thing?

    If I remember correctly (which isn't a guarantee at my age), I had a brain fart and instead of hitting escape at the end of the race I hit the back arrow. Sorry, my fault.
