That being the issue - the "game" part of the game doesn't cover it, so you have to guess
Sprint races don't require a driver change, but endurance races do. This isn't noted anywhere that's obvious - and not really covered when you're actually stopping; if you select the other driver, a further panel says they are "invalid". Also on the not mentioned list is the fact you have to do the stop yourself on the limiter (and 2nd disengages the limiter) including stopping correctly in your pit box.
You essentially need prior knowledge of the rules and regulations of the real-world Blancpain GT series (or whatever its current name is), and I can see a lot of people getting very frustrated, very early in the career mode without any of these things explained.
I've also been hit twice in two rolling starts (something else not mentioned) by the AI. The second time I decided to restart the race and that bizarrely made my wheel impossible to turn (ultra heavy, almost no response from the car, even at walking pace) until I went into the controls menu and changed one of the sliders.
Picked up some audio and visual bugs too - sound cutting out at Monza heading out of Ascari, and the longer car/team names in the results menus skip about.
The simulation aspect seems pretty cool (it's a bit crap on pad, to be honest), and it's not too bad visually (the frame rate is obvious). But the actual game bit of it seems... unfinished.
Hang on brotha! Hang on!
