The race circuit was founded as Österreichring and hosted the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix for 18 consecutive years, from 1970 to 1987. It was later shortened, rebuilt and renamed the A1-Ring, it hosted the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003. When Formula One outgrew the circuit, a plan was drawn up to extend the layout. Parts of the circuit, including the pits and main grandstand, were demolished, but construction work was stopped and the circuit remained unusable for several years before it was purchased by Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz and rebuilt. Renamed the Red Bull Ring the track was reopened on 15 May 2011 and subsequently hosted a round of the 2011 DTM season and a round of the 2011 F2 championship. Formula One returned to the circuit in the 2014 season.[Wikipedia]

inspire.net server doesn't seem to be on the list for me. A million other servers are. I see Christian is currently on liveracers, so apparently he doesn't have any problem.

Is there some trick I need to connect? A cunning, non-obvious name? Are you all just running scared?

Don't be afraid -- I've had hardly any practice, and my offline times are rubbish.

I have refreshed until I can refresh no more.

I have fiddled with "Concurrent Server Updates"

I would attempt to manually add an ip address, if I knew what the hostname was.

I've never had an issue finding the server, and still don't :\

Try this, should help.
1. Multiplayer.ini Tweak
Find the following lines in your multiplayer.ini file and change them to the values below.
The multiplayer file can be found in rfactor\UserData\yourName\ folder.

Chance Concurrent Server Updates="999"
Default="400" This value relates to the number of server listed when you click on multiplayer.
If you have trouble finding online server then this value should help.
instead of show 400 servers it will attempt to show 999 multiplayer servers with each refresh.
Do not make this number any higher than 999 as it will default back to 400.

I did. It didn't :-)

What *is* the IP address, just so we have something to fall back to if we need to?

Yep was an awesome night. 1st race was a bit lonely, started 8th and I managed to avoid the spins, crashes and rollovers (: to cross the line in 5th.
Second race started 5th and finished 5th but had an awesome battle with Christian. We were separated by no more then .3 to .8 for about 10 laps but I just couldn't get past. Finally got past when he made a mistake. _b
