There was a rather easy solution for the problem:

just use the right (upper) file name.

Hello everyone;
Thinking to stay home this Friday, in order to save yourselves (and your liver ) for the festivities on New Year's Eve? Looking to sneak away from the visiting in-laws for an hour or two? Consider joining us for some laps around Barcelona. The 944s are easy and fun to drive, and the Barcelona City Circuit is a real beauty with exceptional attention to detail.

Give this combo a try for yourself on the server and I do believe you will find it to be a good time!

Guys,
If you have rF2, please go join Ole’s epic year end event. Otherwise, if you prefer Assetto Corsa and are looking for some quick fun this evening, then join us here.

Not too late to sign up and get some practice in! Track is fairly easy to learn and these cars are nicely balanced. Just jump in and go!

Hope to see you on the track this evening!

I´m afraid i have to stand with Dominic on this one

The car is everything the Abarthists dream about, it turns in, is as stable as you want it with your throttle input and has a turbo ( with the most loveable waste gate twitter ever)
If you have not grasped by now, this car demonstrates clearly why :

The track grew one me though I full heartedly hate city tracks that box me in.

SO COME ON GUYS, WE NEED WARM BODYS FOR A COOL RACE!!

Great battle, Carsten, I was a little untidy at the end and you took advantage. The drag to the line was fun, another 20 meters and I would probably have got the place back. Well done for p3.

For a change I was able to follow you without any touchy touchy.

That was a hell of a race, nice job guys! Especially, well done to the podium finishers--congrats. Seemed like there were battles all up and down the line, even with a smallish grid. Really nice driving all around out there tonight.

Apologies to Paul for clipping your car when you got turned around. Karma caught up with me a bit later with Dai hot on my tail, I choked and had my own spin.

Hope you all had fun and thanks for your participation!

Thank you all for the great year of sim racing. My first race at RD was around here in the Abarth at the beginning of the year (January 11th), so it was nice to finish the year off back here with a great race. I hope you all have a good new year and remember to stay safe, See you all in January.

Good fun. Fast lads are very fast! Raise-My-Game challenge accepted!
Really enjoying the AC revival. Thanks for organising. Bring on the next one.

You were right there with the "normally fast guys" right behind the "friggin aliens"
( at least until you decided to"tap out"

So the raw speed is there, the "keeping cool under pressure" part is what requires a lot of driving and will not always be easy ( right Douglas?, you pressured me into my wall tap .
Glad I could return the favor in the end .
And to be clear, " no contact was made between make believe race cars at any point", the damage was purely psychological )
