Don't listen to this guy, if you like the game it's exactly as enjoyable as it was when this guy thought it was fun. Who gives a shit if some teams are gone, that doesn't change a flipping thing.
At this point, some of us are asking ourselves how much smaller your wheel diameter has become after you plopped other rims on it.
edit: Also, what good would this topspeed track do? I fail to see anything useful coming from driving along a straight line for 100 km. Unless you actually need to be at the other end.
I guess you could do a rollback in windows, if you really wanted to. I THINK that would unlock it again, but of course it would be on the old patch again.
I've never had problems starting cars with 1st gear engaged and using no clutch. When the clutch cable snaps or the clutch wont work, for whatever reason, starting the car comes natural. Sure it might be a bit jumpy at first, but it certainly doesn't stall
also, you might want to spec when the restart countdown starts, and then join the race when the grid has been setup. That way you can start from the back and not get raped when the field gets going.
I had massive slowdowns on occasion and I found out it was my actual harddrive giving up the ghost. Everything would be fine and then it would just stutter for a few seconds. While it might not be your problem, it could be. Maybe a defrag could help too, who knows.
of course you can't. If he's a bad driver, I doubt he'll have a chance. I should hope there are a few fast demo racers that want an S2 license. Though they might not check the forum as much.
You should know, that if you've been gone for...uhm, since before the Z patch I think, most of your setups are useless. That could be why it's harder to race now, in any case it wouldn't help.
