    Yes it can, mine is a total new kind of corrupt this week though. It has many of the driver's cars and names mixed up. I also watched a close race I was having with Seth from several views when all of a sudden his car ghosted and wouldn't show up again until I restarted the replay! This game has fixed a whole lot of bugs but introduces new ones often. That said, it's still a lot of fun when it all works well.

    we certainly had some close racing for a while, though I did feel you were pushing way too hard on worn tyres as I came out of the pits and started catching you for a round 2 battle, and felt a nice bump from behind after getting past you and before the next braking point :p

    what wheel do you use?

    Yeah sorry about that, thought I had the run on you through the Esses and was far enough up the inside to make the move stick, turns out my car got really loose over the bumps coming down the hill on worn tyres. Regardless, I gave you the place back and dived into the pits that lap for some fresh rubber.

    I use a Logitech G29, had it since Christmas, haven't had any issues with it until last night. Really not sure if it's a PCARS/ps4 glitch or a hardware issue with the wheel in which the paddle is becoming more worn than the downshift (if that's the case, I'll be asking for a new one because it's still under warranty and its worn far to quickly under normal use

    oh looks like another logitech bites the dust :p yeah get it replaced now while it's still under warranty, even if there's nothing wrong with it. because it seems they break down quite frequently. my T300's 1yr birthday is coming up soon, glad it's given me no problems so far.

    Nah there wasn't a rant, just thought I would get in first in case it did happen lol

    As I said, I wasn't sure who the car was and didn't want them thinking that I was the cause of their off is all :)

    Neither did I, although PCARS never fails to amuse me with its numerous glitches. Seemingly all well and funny, until it happens to you.....

    @Hatfield not that I am too concerned as far as points go, but I did start the race and got disconnected on lap 16 at Sonoma.

    2nd last race of the season tonight guys, and the last race before we take a break over easter. I've been very busy this weekend and havent done any laps at all yet, so race will likely be the first time i get some laps under my belt. Will try and have the room up before 8pm AEDT, but hopefully 8pm AEDT will be the latest i get it up. Planning to start quali at 8:15, and get race underway at 8:30.

    We were missing a few last week, so hopefully we can get the grid filled back up again tonight. @Bevo_17 is your internet sorted for tonight? @Bastian Dalziel @Raedonwolf @mitchymoo09 haven't seen you guys all season, will you be there tonight?

    Weird, my screen showed Colin in 7th and me in 8th.

    And sorry for the bump at the last corner purple, but it was pretty much unavoidable with you coming back on at the apex.

    My race, as usual, started out well, but then pushed way too hard on cold rubber and paid the price. From 4th to 9th in half a lap by my own hand :poop: that and due to zero practice, I was trying to tune the car in prac/qualifying...

    Frustrated, dissapointed, bit over it. All words that describe my feelings right now. 2nd time in as many weeks there's been a start line incident, and I've been taken out as a result. In the 4 races I've raced on PCARS this season, 3 of them have had t1 incidents. Sorry guys, but it's just not acceptable that we should keep having these incidents. I know it's harder to race cleanly on PCARS because of the stupid collision physics but surely we can all understand this and take more care into t1 to ensure we don't have these sorts of incidents and it effectively ruin others drivers races.

    Anyway, as for the actual race itself, I really like the oulton park track, it seems to suit my driving style well and I thought I would do reasonably well here, turns out not so much. Qualified down in 6th, am still having issues with the up shift paddle on my wheel, so I was forced to use my h pattern shifter which I don't normally use for Sunday league races, hence I was a little out of my comfort zone.

    Race: 9th, start of the race I was slightly owverwhelmed with remembering to get my car in gear with the h pattern and get it off the line as quickly as possible. Had a bad start, failing to get my car off the line quickly and as a result was collected in an unavoidable t1 incident. Dropped me right down to last. Over the next few laps I was starting my recovery drive, but soon i spun at turn 1. After that spin, I failed to get myself into a rhythm and every few laps I'd be catching the car in front of me, and then have a spin. In the end, finished 2 laps down. Very dissapointing and frustrating race for me. To be honest, a race I absolutely hated and one I never want to have again. Looking forward to a better turn out and better result come hockenheim in 2 weeks time.
