Brands Hatch Seat Leon
#1
AC crashed four times in the same race. Same setup with which I raced two/three times a day for months, and that never happened. Can it be a car/track combination? It never happens during practice or single player racing, though... Thanks.

I raced with you tonight at Brands. Seems you got everything sorted out? Guys were crashing and flying off the track left and right tonight. I avoided the big crash on the first turn and went from 10th to 3rd. I was in 4th for the first half of the race. I should've been 7th but made a stupid mistake with 20 seconds left. Doh!! Still, what a blast. My fastest lap yet 1:32:453 .. still need to make up a couple of seconds to hang with the big boys.

Hi Jason, thanks for the shout. I see you often on track and I am glad to interact here. Brands is SUCH a difficult track for me... very unforgiving in terms of mistakes. Being a consistent and clean - rather than fast - driver, my "vulture strategy" of lurking at the back and waiting for the inevitable to happen doesn't pay here. A lot of people spin/crash out, more so than on other tracks. They come back to track foaming at the mouth and hating you because you passed them, and the rest is history. I am currently a couple of tenths slower than you, and don't see that much margin for improvement. At Zandvoort I qualify 1.7-1.9 secs behind the aliens - that's where I belong (age 59 and only 8 months into the hobby) and I am very happy; at Brands I'm more like 2.5-3 secs behind. 

Concerning the technical problem I mentioned in my original post, it just went away. It happened four times (freeze, loss of image -> crash) in that one race - never before and not since. 

See you later on track!

That's great. I done a hundred or two laps around that track in the last week. So the repetition really helps. It's really fun to watch the races back on Youtube. I just noticed last night that they highlight the name of the driver they are focused on.. so cool. J

Its the official one from kunos, so its from dlc.
If kunos has released a track or car either base content or dlc then thats the one being used unless its listed in the mod list thread.
