Not exactly a night to write home about. Sure the qualifying race was decent (Nice battle with @The Afterman), but I started experiencing an issue with the throttle where it would just randomly sound like it was cutting out (Even with my foot flat to the floor). First race it developed around 8 laps in, but it started to be even more present in the 2nd one.
Good chance that unless I can get this problem solved, it might be curtains for ANY racing for the time being.

I'm sure you cleaned the potentiometer out a few times already, but in the chance you have not, see the videos below:
If cleaning has been done and your problem is worn potentiometers or gears, see this link:

Hope these help get you back racing.

I have definitely not done that so I will get right on it. Thanks for the help 👍

Post Race Report
Event #2
February 15th
at Laguna Seca
While I wasn't on the grid to race, I did have a chance to view the replays and it certainly looked to be some intense racing and long battles all over the grid. Most notable were @Roman_GT23 and @Moby45 who seemed like they could not escape racing each other. Great job fellas. @Marcus Garvey was having a dominating race night and on track for an overall win on the night before an incident late in Points Race 2 took him out of contention. Since I wasn't on track, I'm not going to elaborate further, and will leave that to those who raced Monday.
2 incidents were filed and drivers have until Wednesday 5pm est if any other reviews are needed.
Preliminary Scoring for Event #2

Congratulations @Roman_GT23 on the overall win for Event #2.
Next event:
Event #3
Monday, March 1st, 2021
Brands Hatch Grand Prix
Conditions: TBD
Event Details will be out this weekend. Great racing to all drivers who attended.

i found after following all the videos that the potentiometer start moving inside the support with time
what happens is that you need to push only 80 porcent of the distance to have the 100 porcent of the throttle, if you push more than that as u are use to do, then you go beyond potentiometer maximum and the blink starts
so after a lot of assembling and disassembling the deam pedals o ended doing a window in order to manually reset the correct position of the potentiometer that moves 1 or 2 millimeters but that is enough to cause the blinking
not sure if this is your case but try to move the potentiometer
If is loose then is exactly what it happened to me

@Moby45 I think you shoud win the Nova award of excellence for w2w combat. You had me sweating the first race. Then I made a mistake and you got by and I thought it was over with the extra weight I was carrying. Then we had a proper battle and I won't lie it was all a blur and I forgot how I got by you lol. Then same thing in the second race I was trying to keep you and marcus behind. Then I just locked up the brakes on the last corner and you two got by. Again thought it was game over but then you got held up at the kink and I was able to get by again. Great but of driving.

There is a reason why @llNovall and I are teammates in his multi class league. Lol Like Nova, I am great at chasing other drivers down.
The battle both races were great. I just kept it clean and tidy on my race line trying not to slip too much so I could keep you in striking distance. It was hard to hold back a few times but I knew if I didn't it was going to slide me wide and I would never see you again lol.

Well considering I'm going to have a +140 lb handicap to the normal people (and compared to Tex I'm going to be riding around with a cow tied to the roof) I don't think I'll be going anywhere the next few races lolol

Very nice sir. Thanks for the replay broadcasts. I have archived them in the Media post on the first page of the thread. Great racing as well Raul.

Roman will be towing a grand piano on acceleration and on braking, (Godfather voice) forget about it.

Update on the situation: Sadly it still happens but I noticed two interesting things:
- It only happens with GT Sport. Doesn't happen with the F1 games, doesn't happen in either Project cars games or in Dirt Rally 2.0
- It happens the worst at Laguna Seca regardless of the car. Tried at other tracks and it seems like this particular track is the worst offender.
While the pedals are certainly the cleanest they've been since I've first got them, seems that cleaning them hasn't done much to fix it.

You can always try bumping the gearing 1 tooth...taje note of where its at currently.. then remove the throttle pedal, and when reassembling, bump it one tooth to the point where the gear stop arm is being pressured to the base while pedal is released and assemble. Looking at mine,, i believe from factory, the bottom pedal tooth is on the second tooth of the potentiometer gear.. move it to the first if its not there already.. I had this same issue in the past, adjusted mine like this and have had zero issues since. It basically puts a light spring pressure on the gear to gently force zero input and removes any gear slop or gear deadzone. Only other option is new gears or possibly a potentiometer if that doesn't fix it.

Finally had a chance to look at this. Your issue is the other direction. Mine was a small input when the pedal was not depressed. Yours look like it could be more in line with what Raul was experiencing. I'm see as you have the throttle to the floor, its spiking and loosing input.
These guys seemed to have same issue.

Did you take the potentiometer apart or just clean the housing and gears?

The easiest way is to take the pedal cover plate off with the allen screws, then flip the pedalset over and pull all the screws on the bottom(there are a couple hiding underneath the carpet grabber thing) and the bottom plate will come off, leaving you looking at the underside of the pedal assemblies. From there it is easy to pull the pedals individually, disconnect the harness and ground wire, and then clean the pots from there. I wouldn't be too aggressive with the pots, or try to take it apart further than that unless you have to. They can be delicate as the cap is just crimped over the board, so they can get loose and move around, but this will give you the opportunity to inspect them better and see if they've got dust and particles or if the pot itself is loose or beginning to go. Quick Dry electrical cleaner(leaves no residue) and canned air/keyboard cleaner works fairly well.
This does sound like it could be a loose pot rather than just dirty, and this will also give you the opportunity to assess whether skipping a tooth on the gear or replacement of the pot may be necessary. Unfortunately, at some point or another wheel hardware becomes a wear item.
Edit: The baseplate screws(the ones you pull while the pedals are upside down) are different sizes for the chrome vs black screws. One is larger than the other, so be careful not to strip them. IIRC the chrome screws are the smaller driver.
