Using your own skin or using a virtual team?

There have been bugs in the past when using a virtual team to display your own skin and it seems there is one recently where hundreds of RCD files (the file created when you make a virtual team) get saved in your settings folder.
It then slows down the loading!!!!

So I want to get the message out there that you do not need to create a virtual team to show your favourite skin.
You create the directory when in the tuning menu, go to that directory and put the skin in there. You don't need to create a virtual team by clicking "create new team/driver" or similar.

When in the server we can see who has done this as an icon lights up near their name in the standings screen.

Please avoid making a virtual team.
Thanks

 

Ah that explains why I am seeing virtual teams on the server with plain white cars.
