I've seen it in most places in Sydney around the $69.95 mark. I opted
for NL though as online racing doesn't seem to be an option. Whenever
I enter VROC with GPL, I'm told to leave quite unpleasantly.

Cheers,
Rod.

This seems odd. Is this through the WinVroc program ? You should fine
a bunch of friendly Aussies there mid-evenings most nights.

Certainly is...

I joined a race a few weeks ago after practicing for months (I didn't
want to join a race and spend most of the race obstructing other
drivers). The Canberra server was the obvious choice, and the track
was Rouen.

Within my 1st lap, I was getting something like BPO from nearly every
other driver.. (can't remember exactly what the acronym was). So I
escaped and asked what it was. The cleanest response was, Pit Out and
get off the server!

I wouldn't be offended if I had been purposely taking people off the
track, but I hadn't even completed a lap.. I could only put it down to
my connection causing others to warp, but I would have appreciated
being told nicely.

Cheers,
Rod.

Wow that is sad to read, I have never had that experience on VROC. You may
be better off joining a league were they will help you get better as a
driver and be more tolerant of your warping connection.

Hi Rod,

Are you sure what you was seeing wasn't: "PO"  ??
As bad as that looks, it simply means: "Pit Out"  which is to say that
everyone uses the two letters "PO" when they are leaving the pits, to
let any cars approaching from behind that a car is leaving the pits, so
they should be cautious and watch for the slow moving car leaving the
pits..
I am almost 100% sure that was what you were seeing and mistook it fo
***Off.. <G>
As Phillip said, drop into VROC any night after 7:00pm Ozzie time and
you will find a decent bunch of hoons there to practice with.

Cheers,
Ron

What is happening with the "pay to play" Oz server thing?  I emailed someone
(can't remember who, I got the name thru RWJ) but didn't receive a reply.

Ron,

You may well be right, perhaps they were cheezed that they had to stop
racing to explain to me what it was.. ;)

I think I'm going to wait till I get cable before I try online racing
again, I'm hoping to get Bigpond in here as multiplaying through my
ISP is atrocious, it's a miracle if I see under 800ms to anywhere
decent.

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers,
Rod.
