Another problem. I notice in a race there of 10 laps, that the cars all dive into the pits after about 3 laps and I wind up in the lead? So I dive in and come out somewhat where I was before. So, what's the fix?
gc? did you have rain conditions in either qualifying or race? If so, you should let the Q session complete without ending it before time runs out. The AI often get confused when moving from one weather condition to another in the race. You can use ctrlX to speed up the process.
