Monkey Butt?
Sep 05, 2008

Alot of hours spent in the driving seat this last couple of weeks, anyone suffering from Monkey Butt?!
I might just have saved your asses.

What is "monkey butt"?
To start, it's not always called "monkey butt." It depends on what region of the country you're in, and how the sport you participate in has tagged the condition. For motorcycle riders who DO call it "monkey butt," it's a blue collar term used by riders to describe the soreness, itching and redness that occurs when you ride and sweat on a motorcycle for hours. If your butt is so sore that you have to walk bowlegged like a monkey, you have Monkey Butt!

Who gets it?
Anyone who participates in any activity that causes frictional skin irritation.

How can I prevent it?

RBR - Getting Online
Mar 27, 2008

I have just bought Richard Burns Rally and I'm really impressed. I'd like to get online with my team mates and see how it works but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
I have downloaded RBRNetv3, extracted the files, and read the readme. When I double-click either RBRnet.exe or Lobby.exe I get the error message "This application has failed to start because dx8vb.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
I haven't got anything to re-install, I downloaded the files again and got the same problem. The readme says,"If the program fails to run then you might need the Visual Basic 6 runtimes available from Microsoft." I looked into this but I don't want to risk installing it if that is not the problem, and the MS site lists the core files with Visual Basic 6 Runtimes and the dx8vb.dll is not mentioned so I'm not sure that it is the problem.

GTR2 Records.
Mar 22, 2008

I have made a website for my team and I was trying to come up with content to fill it. I've often thought it would be nice to have the individual car records for each track rather than just the overall class records. So I trawled through all the past events and compiled a list. The website has alot of Flash media on it so it might take a little while to load, especially the first time, depending on your connection speed.
I'm leaving the site open to all, although it's mainly of interest to our team only, I think some of you will be pleased to see you have track records and you never even realised.
All the videos concentrate exclusively on MOB or Apex Predator Racing and are from the last year or so at R2P, likewise all the screenshots etc. I did my best with what I had on the commentary, but I'm obviously not giving up the day job!

RACE 07 Pit Stops
Jan 13, 2008

I am entered in an upcoming F3000 race at Magny-Cours on RACE 07. I've only just got this game and I'm struggling to understand the pit procedure. Is it all automatic and no option to manually pit? So far I've been discoed from a race because my car wouldn't start after refilling with fuel, or just been sat waiting a long time for my car to start. I'm sure something is wrong, I just don't know if it's me or the game causing the problem. I have assigned a button for ignition and starter but they don't seem to do anything once the auto-pilot takes over in the pit-lane.
So would someone be kind enough to explain how it works for me please?
