GP2 Bug at Brazil

When trying to run a full length race at Brazil there seems to be a bug as I can not pull into the pits for a pit stop. I cross over the yellow line to enter the pits but just before I get to the entrance the car veers back out onto the track. No amount of steering input helps. Is this a known bug? I just got the game a couple of weeks ago so I apologize if this has already been discussed. Thanks, Rodney Hudlow

You have to explicitly tell your pitcrew that you are coming in. Press the Enter/Return key (the main one, not the numeric keypad one) and on the lower right hand side of your***pit a pair of lights will light up yellow. Then you can enter the pits. These automatically come on when you have damage, or need fuel, new tyres or are out of qualifying session laps. RTFM!!!

Right about the key, and the light. It's most likely steering help that is forcing the car back on to the track. With steering help off, you can point the thing anywhere you like. It does help, as you say Rob, to let your crew know, especially in a race, since they won't be ready for you and you'll look like an idiot on the television broadcast. You don't need to in practice or qualifying. Imagine : Crew sitting in pit garage, watching the race on TV. The TV is covering another car, so the first thing they know is your car rocking up and you screaming at them to put on some tires and top up the tank. Of course, they'd rather watch the tele than help that rude driver who abuses the car anyway. Jet

He is right. There is a bug. Even when your 'pullled in' your car suddenly tries to get back on circuit, and often it nearly puts you in the pir barrier. Tricky.

Turn off that steering assistance ;-) Richard

Turn off "steering help" (and "opposite lock" for a real simulation) under Controls menu (you need to go to "advanced" section). This will allow you to pit anytime you want, and won't pull you in when the Pit light is on. John Wehman

Yep, happened to me to (during a multi-player race) lost me the race !!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Parkstone Motor Company, Southend on Sea, Essex United Kingdom. -----------------------------------------------------------------

This notifies your pit you want to come in. You should then be able to go into the pits. -- Regards, -Dirt- ******************************************* * Mechanical Engineering 1996 * * University of Missouri, Rolla * * * * Need a Mechanical Engineer?
