Cheers Wally. Can't find an error message in there.

No, I can't see an error there. Do you also have log.txt?

While I'm sure with practice I could go quicker in the Mustang it's horrible to drive so may stick with my trusty Nissan which can actually go around corners.

I'm quicker in the Mustang than the Nissan, and I want to stay near the pointy end of the points. So to compete with you and Phil, I'm pinning my hopes on the Stang.

Interesting timing, huh? 1939...

E.g. last round at Modena would have worked out like this (ranked by average fastest lap times over the 3 races). So Freezer would have earned least; Rob would have earned most.

 

Freezer	60.566	1
Joe	60.572	2
ab156	61.400	3
Dave O	61.532	4
AbleArcher83	61.602	5
killagorilla	62.303	6
buellersdayoff	62.361	7
Bird	62.410	8
RussG	62.422	9
JamieP	62.438	10
Wally	62.462	11
Mael	62.526	12
Phil.8	62.562	13
Bacchulum	62.565	14
bradc	62.821	15
Rob	63.561	16

...from this round, I'll change it so that you don't get money for your finishing position, but by your fastest lap times. In other words, the fastest guy won't earn any cash; the slower guys will get more cash. This way, even if you don't start or finish some races, your cash reserves won't be artificially boosted.

So if you dnf a race, you won't cash in? eg if you drop out halfway due to damage?  Or is it for dns (did not start) situations? 
Or is it simply a measure on laptimes, nothing to do with dnf's directly?
What if you don't finish a single lap?  (like myself in r3 last round)

It's based on the averages of your fastest laps. So if you drop out half way through a race, you'll still post a fastest lap for that race, and that will be used. If you only start 2 of 3 races (or don't even complete a lap in one race), your fastest lap times for the two races you did race in will be averaged.

When you look at the race graphs for Modena, Joe and Freezer were clearly too fast for the field, off in a race of their own. The point of this car dealer is to promote closer racing (with a strategic element). Joe and Freezer both got their cash by having a bad round with DNFs, not by being slow, which is not really the intent. So from this round, I'll change it so that you don't get money for your finishing position, but by your fastest lap times. In other words, the fastest guy won't earn any cash; the slower guys will get more cash. This way, even if you don't start or finish some races, your cash reserves won't be artificially boosted.

As I've said many times, and everyone should know this by now:

• Hitting someone from the rear, when the following car has visibility of the car in front, will nearly always attract a penalty.
• Dramatic moves from one side of the track to the other in the first two turns and hitting someone beside you will nearly always attract a penalty.
• Unsafe track re-entry, out of impatience or frustration will nearly always attract a penalty. Track re-entry where you're out of control, or sliding on grass etc, will not.
• I am lenient on side-to-side impacts due to the poor side visibility in sim racing.

It's simple and clear, consistently applied over many hundreds of incidents, acknowledging that often a degree of judgement needs to be applied.

As for your penalty, you dive-bombed at speed down the inside of turn 1 into a group of slow moving cars and hit and spun Killa - a clear penalty of the "hitting someone from the rear" kind.
