It might be you don't have either the car or track updated.
Look on the RACE page and click "Downloads required" to check if you have an outdated version of what you're using.
Things update fairly regularly and Henrique, the admin, announces it in the forum.
Try that...

Thanks for the suggestion Rob, but that doesn't appear to have been the issue because it has been resolved since I posted on the appropriate thread. 

I mis-read that you couldn't get on the server instead of the link for your flag (which didn't copy/paste correctly).
Glad you got it sorted!
