Interlagos Combine

Came into pits early to put on harder tires and fuel to reach the end of the race (11-12 lap can't remember), as i was struggling a bit on the softer tires and while pitting, there seemed something wrong, no audio and my name had changed to Bruno Giovanni????!!!! What's going on here???!!... Managed to start the car and pulled away from the pits... But something was even strangier! The AI had taken over control and i was just a passenger!!! Was trying to think what to do, maybe i had touched something (i doubt it) aprocching the first corner after the pits i looked in the mirrors and i think it was Dario hit me from behind. Sorry about that Dario... Obviously the car wasn't behaving as a HUMAN driver and caught him out. I quickly escaped the game as he touched me. But after a couple of seconds i saw that Dario had retiered. Sorry again Dario, but that's the first time this has ever happened and caught me by surprise... big time, i should of esc. before.
Can R2P (or someone else) give me an explanation to what may have happened?

Yep! My first podium finish in R2P.

Had a good race all in all, thanks to Al Canal for taking time to look at my set-up pre-race was 5 seconds off the pace car only managing to do 1.37s consistently, but didn't have enough time to make the necessary adjustments before quali so stuck with my original set-up, there were some good battles for position mid field after the spill-out in T2, I think on lap 1-2 but I had good acceleration on the straight to overtake some of the other Porsche in my class, ran the first stint to the max of my fuel and tires hoping to gain a few positions and it did pay off,was a little disappointed at the turn out as the sign up looked pretty good, would have been more of a challenge with a full field, a great track demanding full concentration throughout the whole race, no room for errors, congrats again to podium, look forward to the next event.
Kevin.

No problem salvatore ... These things happen in racing.
The race was not bad was going well... I think if I picked
Porsche just before the race and was third.
However, the first race here was not as I expected ... will be for the next.

Bye

salvatore.. Could you confirm, if you have virtual memory in xp disabled? Last time i had a similar AI error, it was a memory problem caused by running gtr2 for more than 4 hrs staright and then entering RACE, and it(error) nearly got me suspended. Enabling VM on my 2gb system, helped my 4hr plus practice sessions
