I have just done Nurenburg 4hr. I was in the monitor screen. Pressed the pit button and it just drove through it. Can someone help me pls. Sorry if this has being on before but I have only joined today. I am asking as I want to do the 24 hr races.
Did you actually see the car drive through the pit lane, or where you watching the monitor? I ask because it can look like the car went into the pits when it actually missed. You have to activate the pit signal some distance from the pit entrance for it to work.
Since the Nurburgring is quite a long circuit, your car often ends up getting red tires before it gets even close to the pit. If you're driving a fast car in B-spec (on the ring) then it might overshoot the pit because it spun out and passed it. If you want less risk of that happening then take the B-spec tempo down a bit.

I just did the Nurenburg 24 hour last night on B-Spec (nightmare) and had the same problem. If you are on the long strait part, and your tires have been bright yellow for a while, press the circle and make the car pit, even if it is a half a lap early.
Otherwise, the tires will become red just after the pit stop and you gain an extra minute (depending on the car) going around the track on dead tires.
Good luck, and start the endurance early....it took me 8+ hours, and even though I really didn't have to do anything but check in every once in a while and put it back to 3x speed, it was still insane.
You get the F-1 from it though, and that is a huge plus.
I think Byron only did that once. It normally took 10 minutes to complete a pit cycle at 3x speed, but I kept checking it and he wasn't pitting. When I eventually saw him entering the pits, it was at the end of a 12 minute lap (almost twice normal) on solid red tires at all four corners.
Actually having driven that car on red tires, I must say a 12 minute lap is pretty impressive.
First. "witha" is not a word, and commas are useful in sentences.
Second. I know the facts, I just am amazed how some of you take this stuff so seriously.
I come here to learn some tricks and read some posts, and when I reply I get bombarded with dribble about how I didn't spell the name of the track right.
I was watching the monitor and it just went through the pits and did not take on any fuel or tyres. Can you set it up so the bspec will go in every 3 laps or something like that.
It shouldn't go through the pits without changing tires and taking on fuel, if you don't tell it to do so. The default pitting action is to change all 4 tires and fill her up completely. You certainly can do a drive through in the pits if you say no to refuelling and keep the current tires on there.
There is also no way to set the B-spec driver to pit in every 3 laps. You either monitor the B-spec race and force him to pit, or you let the B-spec driver do the thinking and he'll always come in a bit late.
