Apologies in advance, since I can guess this has been discussed here before.
I was wondering if there's a consensus of opinion on why vroc suffers so
many disconnections. Are these 'fair weather' drivers who give up as soon
as they crash and lose a few places (usually at turn one) ? Or are we
talking internet (service provider) issues, or server capacity problems?
I guess it would be a bit of both, but i'd still like to know what people
think. :)

I disagree. Most of the disconnects I see seem to be from dropped connections
(too many packets lost). I see a lot of disconnects during qualifying and then
the same people re-connecting, often numerous times if their connection is
bad. When you see disconnects right after a message like "Sorry", then it
probably is someone who crashed out of the race.

From my experience, it's mostly people disconnecting after they crash.
I've been caught up in many crashes in turn 1 at Monza (mind you, I'm
a slow but clean racer, which means I almost always start from the back
of the grid) and did not disconnect, only to find that I was the last
running car.
I can understand those people, though, since racing when you're 40"
behind the car in front is not too funny (especially if you don't have
100% free Internet at home).
