This was originally posted as a race comment but figured this would be a better place for this question.

Want to make a comment about accidentally hitting ESC while in race...

Why in the world don't they at least put a confirming OK/Cancel in there so you can cancel out and not blow your race.

Am I the only one who has ever accidentally ESC'ed out of an event?

I couldn't figure out how to deal with the pit board anyway, shades of my 1st races at TMcArthur.net with GTR. lol

For me in EVO you have to hold the esc button for 1 second or more to escape.

Simply tapping or bumping the escape button gives me a message at the top saying something like "hold button for more than 1 second to esc"

To escape, RACE/EVO require you to hold the ESC key down for 1 second before you escape.

If you escaped, you held the key down at least that long.

I did that to by accident a couple times hitting the [ESC]. I fixed that. I put a small note book over top of that section of the keyboard so I don't hit that damn key.

Thanks Mike, yes, I saw that too. But with my failing, age related ability to comprehend the english language, I never figured out what it meant! lol

Guess I fell asleep with my finger on the ESC key during the race and got the boot! : (

Well, that does address my original worry about accidentally hitting ESC.

Now, I just have to figure the rest of GTR Evo's quirks.

Dan likes to throw people off with that old man crap. After hes washes his spinach down with a cold bottle of Nesquik he becomes a keyboard crusher and will kill any evil doers in the wink of an eye.
