GP3 Disappointment - LAN Racing

We have been waiting for GP3 for 5 years - we set up a five player LAN session (100Mbit) yesterday and tried to run a 100% race. Unfortunately it consistantly dies around lap 10-15....it just hangs and goes at about 0.1 FPS. We all have decent computers - from 875 -> 300 with voodoo 3's / TNT 2's and Geforces all round. Is this why there was never any LAN play in the promo's? I dont think it can ever work! Anyone get through a full network race with more than 4 players? Ash
