    PING higher than server. What does this mean? How can I stop it? Help, please:confused::(
    Happened twice, just now - first time, the middle of racing and the 2nd time, during practice whilst in the pits?
    Any support/suggestions would be greatl appreciated. Thank you, in advance.

    It means your ping exceeded the limit for this server. 300 ms if I'm not mistaken.

    Thank you for responding. Any idea on potential causes &/or ways to stop it happening again, especially bearing in mind that this was never an issue until yesterday.

    Uhm... Maybe try switching to wired connection if you're using wireless.

    Thanks for the suggestion , however, I am wired.
    I think I may have found the issue, it seems something I was downloading in the background 'stole' all of my bandwidth, or at least it's the only anomaly I've found, as the issue hasn't occurred before, or since.
