The last few days I've hosted a bunch of Watkins Glen races. A bunch
of drivers come and a bunch leave sometimes I'll have up to 18 drivers
running.
What happens is this... During early practice everything is fine,
but after a bunch have come and stayed My screen starts to hickup. I'll
be driving down the back strait with everything fine and dandy, But then
for a second my screen stops and then continues. This doesn't happen
just down the back strait, it's more of a random act. Every time it
gets bad I'll get POed and ask "who has the bad frame rate". I
remember reading something about hosting a race and having someone with
a bad frame rate joining with this as a result.
Am I right with that being the reason or could it be that someone
has connected with a slow modem? Or is there something going on that I
should know about?
This only happens while I'm hosting. If I join someone else's race
with many drivers I don't have any problems.
Any ideas?

What is your upload capacity and what are your core.ini settings? It sounds
like you need more bandwidth and/or more cpu to host that many. For
bandwidth calculations see http://people.A2000.nl/bcwes/gplol.htm.
