It happens the most when building races, normal races it's annoying but when you've spent 30+ minutes making a sk race and then the server shuts down for no apparent reason it gets depressing.
or if you are in a really long endurance race, and you're like 16 minutes into it, and it disconnects again, it does make you not want to bother racing
even when racing on doubleyou, the server disconnects up to 5 times sometimes before you can even get to the first checkpoint
You got any indication from R when he'll return or you didn't hear anything of him ?
i have no idea when he'll be back, I haven't spoken to him either
