Just a quick note,when i go back to pits to make a setup change it still says tow to garage 3 mins,and that is after driving to my pit stall

Since there is no physical separation between pits and track, you must be sure you go over the pit entry line where the invisible "pit entry trigger" is, as otherwise the game seems to think you are still out of the pit area. The problem appears because you can access the pits from anywhere because of the lack of wall separatingt it and narrowing the entry to a certain place (Where the trigger is located). I'm right now not 100% sure where that trigger is located exactly, but will ask Dave and see if we can post a screenshot indicating the exact point 

Problem is you have to go to your pit stall,which i was doing if i dont stop there its 5 min wait instead of 3 mins in pit stall,i have tried entering in numerous spots but no joy yet so a screenshot exactly where it is would be most helpful,btw the track looks superb.

Pit in is highlighted in green, therefore crossing that should trigger entering the pits.

Is there something I should be doing to trigger it? ive tried multiple times and even grinded against the pit wall from where it starts at just cant seem to trigger it.

Driving back into the car pool where you start gets me down to 120 secs but anywhere else its around a 3 min wait

No, it should auto trigger when you cross the green (invisible on track).

If you have not requested pit, but enter the pits, does that automatically cause the pitspot red square to appear and the pit menu to come up in your hud? If so, the pit entry trigger is working, and the 120 seconds must be a setting in the server or GDB.

Does not work Dave,i have hugged the wall from last turn to the pits and still no trigger,atm it is impossible to work on setups online with 3 min wait every time you stop in the pits.

red square is there and pit menu

OK thanks, it is then a server or GDB setting, we will check and let you know if we can come up with something. Thanks for the feedback guys

I would try the oldest March #53...

Curious, Siffert in Can Am, and Siffert Automobiles in F1, big coincidence

You mean like no coincidence at all.

I kinda wanted both of Jo's cars, but was denied


Jo Siffert Automobiles is actually just Jo supplying another driver with a March 701 that he was given as a payment by March. My car is the same as yours, only that it was "upgraded" to full time entry even though it only appeared in the hands of Mazet at Paul Ricard.

A bit weird to see Perrot and Trimmer here, who only competed in non-championship events.

Yeah, they are here just to annoy nit pickers 

I actually let that sentence stand while composing the message to see who'd respond to it.

And of course you guys do


Gonna pretend in all other races that Perrot is driving and not Mazet

We are always watching   You never know when a   is going to pop up 

Hi guys. Yesterday i tested in monaco and i had a lot of issues which was very similar like what happened to me in Monjuice. Suddenly fps drops from 80 to almost zero and after several seconds it return back to 80 but the car is already wreck. I tested also offline and i have no issue anymore. Dont know if this couldnt relate with the joing other drivers to the server but i thing it dont. When the issue happed i think nobody was joining to the server. Im a lot frustrated from this because if im not gonna resolve it i will have to withdraw from this race because it was very dangerous for other drivers. On last sunday i have a race in automobilista in Marcas on ISO and i had no such an issue so maybe it related with the mod? Dont know.

OK. Sorry. Eagerness and so

Something I noticed and thought id point out is another problem with this pit entry not triggering is that when people crash they would rather leave the game and re-join than wait 5 mins for repairs/tow back... this then causes some people, who are on a lap to micro stutter when re-joining and could possible cause them to crash?

I was guilty of doing this last night until I realised this could possibly be a problem for others. Hopefully by posting it could help ease that scenario

Yes indeed. Richard should be having internet back today, I think he will simply disable altogether the setting that makes you wait for the tow when going back to pits. It will be reactivated later for the official qualy and race.

Should Martin not be able to resolve his issues and not participate, in that case and only in that case, could I take the nr 18 car?

What OS is on your pc, Martin?
Windows 10?

Also, could you post a screenshot, or a list, of your ingame display and audio settings.

Between those things, perhaps I can help. (Will try, anyways)

ATTENTION:

Tow to pits has been temporarily disabled in the server. You can now return to pits inmediately after ESC. It will be enabled again for qualy and race, but beware we will limit going in and out of the server during qualy session to prevent both freezes and people gaining advantage from extra tires. So plan your qualy accordingly with the nominal amount of tire sets.

What's up with LiveRacers showing strange top speed from some cars?

428 km/h?
