Pitting is pretty much in place in iR isn't it? I'd agree that it's a bit clunky and could use some refinement.
Don't get me started.
Though, to be accurate, pitting is ok. What bothers me is the damage model and that despite pitting, you can't continue as the car doesn't get repaired. Tow sucks.
Edit: it's interesting how sitting in the GTR2 car in the pits when the damage is being repaired (Hurry up, we're losing positions!) is different to iR (towing). While I fret at first position, I get bored in second and quit.
Ok, towing is longer but you get my meaning...
