Has anyone come up with a way to cut down on the pit board not showing while online. It is becoming a big issue when hosting league races as Qualifying earns points but if you don't receive the pit board then you don't even have a chance. -- Jeff Murchison (Murchman) http://members.tripod.com/grandprixlegends

Hi Jeff, I've found that when this happens to me I just disconnect and change my name slightly then reconnect. It usually is then fixed.

Try changing your helmet color instead. A least people will still know your name :) Jason.

Thanks the name change works, I haven't tried the helmet color yet. Also changing your car works also.. -- Jeff Murchison (Murchman) http://members.tripod.com/grandprixlegends > Try changing your helmet color instead.

How do you bypass the fast startup from VROC or Spy Boy to allow you to get to the player selection screen in GPL 1.1?

I can tell you that changing helmet color definately works, and saves you from changing name or car. Ross

> I wonder why these work arounds fix the issue? Maybe Randy can give us a > clue... If you rejoin a GPL host with the same name, car and helmet, GPL thinks you are the same driver as before. If your driver info on the host is in some way broken so it isn't scoring you, then reconnecting won't fix anything. Changing your name, car or helmet will make the host think you are a different driver and create a new entry for you, which is probably going to be scored correctly. Grant.
