Hi everyone,
I just took part in my first 1 hour GT3 race at Mosport. It had a mandatory pitstop.
I pitted within the time window and added fuel and changed tyres. I was given a penalty (not sure why) after pitting.
When the pit window timer ran down I was kicked from the race with no warning?
Is this a bug or did I do something stupid? I was doing OK in the race too.
Cheers,
Ben

I think it was just a case of the pitting not being recorded. I've done some tests with AI and I think the way I accessed the pit menu was wrong. I never saw the top down view of the crew working on the car.
I think I was the problem :0, but I still pitted and did what was needed.

If you were given a penatly after the pit, that looks like a tow rather than actually stopping at your pitbox. I think it doesn't count as a proper stop, hence the black flag.

If you enter the pitlane before the pitwindow starts, even if the car gets worked on during the pitwindow it doesnt count.
if you just drive through the pitlane it doesnt count.
if you overshoot or stop to early for your box your crew doesnt work on your car either.
you cant speed in the pitlane but you can screw up the pitstop anyway.

Thanks guys,
I've sorted it. It was the way I accessed the pit menu. I'd never done a proper online race pit stop before.
Seb Niners, If you are racing in an SRS 1 hour the pit window timer comes up at the top of the screen next to the standard countdown timer.
Thanks,
Ben
