connection timeout

[cricket96]

trying to run a track ive built with a friend to see how it does with multiple riders but every time i try he gets connection timeout. i havent finished with racedata yet, or textures but wanted to test it before i did all that. could it potentially be because of not having the race data done and pits/gates set up?

Assuming you're not both on the same network, do you get the same problem with a stock track?
