How to make a pitstop or stop and go? PROBLEM SOLVED

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I can't make any pitstops or stop and go's.

I do a request, i get the message "pit in". When i drive in the pitlimiter takes control and i can't control the car. This is in Sim mode and happens on- and offline.

I saw tonight TheStig[RPM] making a stop and go, i tried it too but the car just drives through.

Anyone knows how to solve this, it should be possible to make a pitstop.

yes mate, it's really weird and i hope someone can help you. For now ill report this as a bug.

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I just read some forums and see it happend to GTL too, TheStig i guess you only requested a stop and then you drive in, what happens then, do you have to turn on the pit limiter manually or does this go automatic.

[Bram Hengeveld]

No the pitlimiter gets activated automatic, but i was in for a stop and go and did not asked for permission. I just drove in

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I will try that too, did you ever try to make a normal pitstop.

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

Maybe a good thought not to plan races which require a refuel, i think we all have that problem then.

Well, I think you can't make pitstops in Race, it's not really a bug, it's more to do with the fact that no-one in the real WTCC would ever bother making a pitstop as it would put them last by a long way, they might as well retire. This isn't always the case in the game though, especially with wreckers and everything online

[Yoeri Gijsen]

If you want to make a stop and go, don't request a pitstop. If you want to make a pit stop you should request it, but i guess that last part isn't working yet.

I solved the problem today and i think many others have this problem too so please do what i did.

1. Go to your steam folder and find your Race game and browse to your plr file eg Steam\steamapps\steamaccount\race\UserData\WAKUWAK U, for me it's wakuwaku

2. Rename or delete the user.plr file, i renamed it for a backup

3. Start race and add a new profile and name it as it used to be named so all your setups etc will still be in your profiles folder

4. Adjust all settings, remap the controller etc, you create a new plr file now with the same name as you had before.

Now all is fixed, at least it fixed it for me.

So to be short, generate a new plr file thats all.
