Me and two others. One crashed at the start, the other was so slow he decided to just give it up with two laps remaining. I won, but I was essentially just racing myself. Boring! I came to VROC seeking new challenges and this is what I find?! I hope my future races are a little more interesting. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten GPLRank: +36.34 mailto:[email hidden] http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ -----------------------------------

It depends on the track, how many are racing and who they are. I had a great race with 2 others at Kyalami a while back. One guy went out into the lead after a turn 1 crash, 2 laps later he'd slowed to make a race of it. We lapped on the limit for 6 laps never more than 1-2 secs apart. Unfortunately the main problem with VROC is people disconnecting after a turn one crash. Why they go to all the bother of qualifying/joining the race only to give up 200 yards down the track is beyond me. Maybe you need a race with 10 or so drivers in it. There's usually a bit more action than when there's only 3 of you. Kev "Morgan V. Wooten�" wrote:

Usual. People left because either their cars were all f--ked up or they were far too behind. "Morgan V. Wooten�" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cigd5.1243$[email hidden]...

Even if the second guy HADN'T quit, it sounds like he was so far off your pace it wouldn't have mattered... It really *isn't* much fun riding around by yourself. If I had to pay per minute for my connect time, I might have disco'd also. If you're paying, I guess it DOES make sense to find another race.
