    No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
    In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
    If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

    This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

    ****************************************************************

    Teamspeak is one of the features of Sim Racing Online.

    Just did a few tests with some of the tracks.

    Rostock (not fictional btw ;)) - Textures are pretty blinding with some white lines throwing the car off with bumps. The cobble section is very low grip.
    Bryce - That is a roller coaster, going to be quite hard to learn!
    AutumnNRing - Suffers from low track mesh in the corners, DD wheel owners are going to suffer with this.

    I am going to test some of the other fictional tracks I have archived.

    Mills Metro maybe good to try.

    I appreciate that, Neil. But the point is that the series is fixed already and unless there is a bug, the tracks won't be changed. Otherwise, the whole series would become erratic.

    For me, Rostock is fine visually. Also on the server. Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing please?

    I would call a bad low res track mesh a bug, but that is just me.... I like my wrists :D
