Hi

First off - excellent racing thanks guys!!

However, I have a small problem - small in that I'm using one of the new 8.4" screen laptops with a height of just 600 pixels.. up till now it has been fine, but I notice that the online client has been furnished with a sponsors ad which reduces my playing window to about 2.5cm high!!

I know the sponsorship is important but any chance we can close or move the Kelt Cognac advert so I can see where I'm sailing please!!

Also - there is a lot of wasted space at the top of the screen ...

I've included a screenshot of the biggest I can get it....

I'll see if I can set a mininum size so you get scrollbars instead of a resized map.

Same problem here - the sponsord logo takes up acres of space on my EEE PC and I can barely see the screen.

I know you need sponsors but there is no point if we can't use the game and stop using it.........

Please - beg,beg,beg - can you do something ??

Thanks for a great game. Beats the pants of the 'Real' Volvo....

Best regards
John
