perhaps Piboso's server host/hotspot has crashed?

early days for this sim still, mate - i still feel confident that once it's released (in a hopefully more polished form) GPB will be a huge hit for the pc.
once proper bike controllers are available, i can't see much else on the pc being more immersive as a simulation, short of some insane budget, lol
i'm keen to get it set up in a local bikers pub, with a decent controller like DD's HS2, and see what the response is. i think favorable.
i believe there's a huge gap in the market for a decent, affordable bike simulator like this, possibly adapted to train young riders for road, as well as race, conditions.   :)

I do see the potential, if I'm not wrong Rfactor 1 is actually used to train F1 requits :O hopefully we might get something for the fearless bike racers that can train them properly before heading to the dreaded track
