Spectating races and serious lag

Spectating some races right now - 2D is all over the place. The race keeps winding forward half a lap, then half a lap back, then spiking, cars going slow, cars going fast, DRS on all parts of the track, and connection problems every 2 minutes.

Was in the race Jason was spectating. The lag was crazy and I got disconnected many times as well as being unable to connect for about 5 minutes at one stage. Everybody was dropping in and out of the chat for most of the race.

Terrible lag and discos.  Cost me a good position as my tires almost burnt off the car.  Please can the issues with the servers be fix ASAP???

I have had a look into this and can't see any record that there was a problem with the server this time.  I will do some more investigation later on today though.  Sorry for the trouble.

Did you ever get the "Connection Problem" message during these problems?

Yep, the 2D window was turning green every two minutes and had "CONNECTION PROBLEM" in red text from memory. The people who were in the race are from all over the globe too (I think) so it's probably fair to say the problems were on iGP's end.
