I agree, everyone keeps trying to figure out who is to blame and the problem is with Sony/PD. We aren't the only ones having this problem. A lot of other series are finding it hard to race with over 12 people in a room.
Personally, I could care less if there are 12 or 16 cars, on a few tracks I'd much prefer only 12 cars on track. I know some of you are dead set on using mics, I enjoy the race a lot more when they are turned off. The chat before and after the race is ok, but mics should be turned off before qualifying starts and during the race. I can chat all week practicing, when it's time to race the mics are only a distraction.
