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!

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. -- Jeff Murchison JR Screamers League Admin www.speakeasy.org/~jmurch/ "Rod" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Thu, 24 Feb 2000 12:19:00 GMT, [email hidden] (Phillip > McNelley) wrote: > > >>I've seen it in most places in Sydney around the $69.95 mark.

Any Australian >websites selling the product would also be appreciated... 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.

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. Ben
