M.E.Carver and the Ring

First a big thanks to Michael for hosting a race at the ring yesterday. 15 guys connected and the most amazing thing for me was that at the end of it all I was still connected. This was after about 50 minutes. I have been disco'd so many times on other races that I was truely amazed that i stayed on. Even though i finished 3 minutes behind the leader after 3 laps, I had a blast and look forward to doing more races there. The 15 cars, and starting at the rear of the pack was pretty scarey as there was some carnage but after things settled down it was a blast. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks. Tony

Yep, I was also there and I really enjoyed it. I'm not too sure why but now and again there are particular races on VROC that stay in my mind for days and this was one of them. I even found myself thinking about this Nurburgring race at work today ! My latency wasn't especially low but I also stayed connected for the full 50 mins. I was surprised by how much action there was - plenty going on and I felt totally knackered after it. Please hosts - less Monzzzza and more of the scary tracks ;-) Andy.

says... I'd second that - the Ring is fantastic for online racing, provided people have taken the time to learn the circuit a little first. It's terrible when you log on to VROC and all you see is Monza and the Glen. I'd host more myself but I only have a modem link:-( - Michael
