thanks for the suggestions, i finnaly got through the instalation and such.
i can't even express how happy i am. they took WRS straight out of GTP and put it in the game. i mean, what are those time trials? almost the same thing... it's sooooo good. played for about 45 minutes there... ended up the day in 10th at eiger and 12th in london... god knows what tomorrow...
about the races, had only 2, one win and one 4th place. at first i was mad at the constant ramming, but i have a theory: since i was able to play without lag with a crappy 600k connection, it's clear that you will only notice lag by seeing cars jumping all around the track in front of you. if you have a bad connection, that's what happens, yu don't get the data from other users 100% of the time, hence the crazyness in front of you.
most importantly, that's why sometimes you end up hitting someone without even avoiding. you are running, then there's a lag for the guy with a crappy connection, and then bam, the other car shows up in front of you and there's no way to avoid.
i want to beleive that this explains somehow some of the crazy cheesyness going on...
back with more thoughts later.
