@Bill - make sure you have a button mapped for Pit Request. If you go into the pitlane accidentally, press it to bring up the pit menu and you can cancel your stop. Similarly, if you get a penalty press this button to confirm whether to serve it or make a regular stop. I think anyway, that's from memory..

Thanks frex, will have a look at it. Seems similar to GTL which I’m use to, will give it a try before next race.

I found the car to be much trickier to drive tonight than when I had been practicing with it. In practice I had no problem flooring the throttle out of corners, the car just gripped & went, but tonight I had to be more careful on the throttle otherwise the rear lost grip & it was difficult to recover once it had gone. But I was nearly a second a lap quicker than I had managed in practice.

Obvious question but did you practice with TC on and race with it off (or turned down)? I had TC at zero as cars are all quicker this way, but obviously a bit trickier out of the corners.

I know I had it on in qually & the race, I upped preset 1 from default to 28 (I think) which made it a bit easier but still mystified why it seemed virtually impossible to make it lose traction when I was practicing. Maybe I was just being more aggressive. Will have to try it again & investigate.

Pitting is by AI. The buttons for Pit Request are as per GTL - enter to activate Request and the 4 Arrows to move up or down the menu and the other two keys to cycle through options or increase or decrease the values. Must try and remember procedures and not rush it.

New cars and new track, never felt happy with either, sorry.

Found out what happened, in offline practice somehow setting had got changed from 'get real' to 'custom' with full traction control, must have been messing with the settings & forgot to change it back. Sorted now.
