Why am I not able to drive in any Beat the Heat races without getting the message: You're just a spectator? I had driven in many of the events previously, now I can't control the car. I have even tried starting from the beginning challenge but the same problem occurs. I have installed the version 1.1e patch, does this create the problem? Has anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions? Joe [email hidden] www.mdc.net/mets41

If you edited the drivers.txt and changed the "Hasbro Car" 's number it will do that. Set it back to #141 and you should be fine.
