Ok, maybe it's not a bug, and just my (continuing) lack of understanding about how this works. here's the situ: I was in a TT with Driver 1, stopped the car, changed drivers and continued. Left the event properly - resigned and waited before going back to lobby. Entered the next TT with driver 1, but now I can't race in it. In my book, that's a bug. Driver 1 wasn't driving for the last 1/2 hr before the second TT.

It does sound like a bug... can you tell me the event ID's in question? (if you check the event pages I have just added these beside the event description)

Yep.. seems to be that Paul Plante was replaced alright but then he went AWOL until the end of the event. Even his replacement driver Hughes had left the event and was enjoying a cool, slightly radioactive beer in Dexter's before Paul turned up.

Sorry about that... will recheck the code, it's likely I forgot to exit a character from the event when he/she is replaced. It would be a timetrial-specific bug..

EDIT: yep, that's what it was. Thanks...
