San Marino Grand Prix’s results are now official. Unluckily cause the lags of race start we are not able to judge the incidents caused by Drivers or by the same lags. Therefore in doubtful we do not penalize any Driver. For the next Grand Prix of Spain we will take some proceedings to solve the trouble of lags. One of this proceedings is the exclusions of Drivers with a connection of 56k, that should be only one Driver. This Driver is allowed to run his Gran Prix in offline mode against AI cars, if he will be classified between the first 16 Drivers. If this proceedings will be insufficient than we will take others one for the Monaco Grand Prix, taking also in consideration some changes in the regulation.

We invite all Drivers with 56k connection to take as soon as possible contact with the Staff, just to allowe us to solve this trouble which damage every Driver.

15 racing online and 1 racing offline, not a good idea.

online racing is all about racing, offline racing is all about setting a race full of fastest laps, you cant merge the two.

What if you are in about 3rd in the online race, the car in front is 15 seconds ahead and the car behind is 15 seconds behind, you back off and save the car. Only to have your 3rd took away because a guy in a "different" race has set a faster overall time.

I think thats a poor decision that needs to be re-thought.

Yeah Wayne is right. What if a fast driver says he has connection problems or he changed back his connection to 56k? It won't work. He can fastlap his way through offline mode and overall results become a mess.
