Hi all, I have a question for ya all, how the heck do the replays on hawaii work? Every time I try to view a replay it goes to a "live" picture and it won't let me rewind. Is this normal? or do I have a problem with my system or setup? Thanks for your time, Eric

Is this normal? or do I have a problem with my >system or setup? Sounds like a setup problem. I've been able to review replays on Hawaii. Maybe you don't have enough memory or your disk cache is eating it up. We just discovered the other night that you can use the in-car camera view with the "live feed" to ride along with another driver. With a DSVD modem, it's almost like having a live spotter. I was also able to give the other guy driving tips while he was driving, ("Turn in... NOW! Throttle... NOW!", etc). You can use the external cams to act as a spotter. We were modem-racing at the time, but it should also work on Hawaii, although you may lose the car periodically due to bandwidth limitations. Now all we need is a way to do this without entering a race, and be able to setup the pit stops while yacking over a DSVD modem and then we can have spotters and crew chief.

NOW YOUR TALKING (hehe pun). I can see the teams forming now. Now when someone gets trashed into the pits they can SPOT for there teamates... THis is also a great way for people to learn the tracks. I have gotten some very fast drivers at Watkins to provide me with replays and learned more in 10 minutes than I had in two hours of practice. By hitting shift you can see the speed, this really helps. my $0.02 Tim Daley

I started watching the replay and when I fastForwarded, it would FF to a point beyond where I had started watching..then I realized I was actually watching a Live replay of the race as it was going...Not the most economical use of a phone bill, but interesting none the less.

I remember after you got HOGGED, you were chatting about stuff that was going on in the race , and I figured you were watching the replay. Didn't occur to me at the time that the you could watch the replay in real-time and get the in-car views. Pretty expensive way to view the action though... Ready for Atlanta, Ken?
