Spotters dis-allowed

[Jamie R]

I saw in the race briefing that no-one is allowed to join as a spotter which I assume is because of the person that accidentally joined the race back in Sebring while trying to spot. However, will people be allowed to use the new Crew Chief functionality that allows someone who is not racing to sort out the pit-stops for a driver?

Maybe as a sort of compromise, people can only connect as a crew chief in the last 5 minutes of qualifying in-case anyone does accidentally join, however the race at Sebring is the only time I've ever heard of it happening.

Hope somebody can answer this question as it seems pretty vital.

Isn't the Crew Chief and the Spotter the same button?
