I am working on some 50% races... got the pit windows figured out, that was just my stupidity. But there is a problem during racing that really is aggravating. I switched from the stable Mclaren to the slightly darty Ferrari and went to the A1 ring. I got a good Q lap and followed Schui around the first lap. A good run on the main straight and I was inside of him at turn one, but we bumped and I was spun around. I tried to hustle back to the pack but spun again on my own and ended up pitting for a few spare parts. After getting back out, I was lapped by about 4 drivers, But I quickly made up time on Mika and made a clean pass. Immeadiately there started BLUE FLAG warnings. After all, I was a lap down, and had to really take chances to clear out of the way of Mika before a penalty. Then the #2 & 3 cars were bunched together, passed one, but had to follow the #2 car for a while, all this time the radio is blaring "Blue flag! Pull over!" I ended up passing both, but not before TWO Black flags for blocking. 20 seconds in the pits put me even further down and in the main pack of cars. Every time I passed someone the Blue lights came on. The real race wasn't for posisiton, but how quickly I could open up some space and avoid another black flag. This really put a crimp on the rest of the race. dave henrie -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!
