It could be because I still had the OSRW version of the track on the server (the one with extra pit boxes). I've removed the OSRW stuff - try again.

Hey guys I'm over Long COVID and thought I had finally got my PC running properly, so I was planning to join you again. But unfortunately AC has other ideas. The PC crashes continually with AC and when it does cooperate I cannot save, or load any setups. I think I will have to uninstall AC/CM/CSP and start again. In the mean time looks like I'm back to AMS2.

Enjoy the BTCC's they look like fun.

My thoughts about these cars, for those that couldn't make it: I'm not a big fan of FWD cars at the best of times - it definitely calls for a different driving technique. These cars all felt a bit different, so everyone could find a car that suited them best, and gave comparable lap times. The racing was OK, but we ended up relatively spread out. The soft tyres started to wear quite a bit after 15 minutes, but it didn't really affect the driving too much.
