What language do you speak? Ill try and help you in another language, because I dont really understand what youre saying.

I think he's Polish and I think he means the db has numbers instead of dates for the DOB. IIRC in the DOB field, you insert the result of the subtraction between the current date and the date of birth of the driver, but I am not 100% sure.

Oh don't be like that ;)

Would you be able to do me a favour though Bazik? If you could do the birthdates for "NSGP F1 R", then it would really help. I'm releasing a closed beta to a few people tommorow so you should be in the mixer automatically.

ok, drop the dates right here, i'll do that tomorrow morning, and i'll explain it once more if i have too

Thanks for the help Bazik, much appreciated.
