just thinking - jimmy C..
when you came into serve your stop and go, you had to wait on a car who was having a Pitstop right? if so, maybe somehow that made the game think you was getting pit service and didn't recognize your stop and go? did you get a countdown? 10, 9 etc?

Hi all

First off congratulations to the top 4. I was definitely in a different race to you and watched you (briefly) drive off into the distance .

Starting from 6th I managed to get past Christoph on lap 1 when he had a bit of a slide. There then followed 26.5 laps with my mirrors full of Christoph's car. Never managed to get a gap larger than 1.5 seconds and that was very brief. I pitted 1 lap earlier but normal service was resumed afterwards. Driving defensive lines for nearly an entire race was going well until the final lap. In one of those moments of sheer genius I decided that just because my braking into Stowe on the previous 26 laps had been OK didn't mean I shouldn't brake later ???. Christoph seized his moment and got past me only to suffer the same sort of problem as me. I managed to sneak past in the double right onto the start/ finish straight and finished a huge 0.12 seconds ahead.
Good day for Team SpRindt ;D

Thanks to DJ and Rikard for the "keep someone behind me" practice

I got no countdown, nor service, which is why I left (someone else was also waiting for that pit stall) and tried again the next time around, when I got fuel service which I didn't need, but no countdown for a stop and go. Oh, well. Just one of those quirks of sim racing.

ahh, there in lies the rub - I think. :o
I don't think you can serve a penalty and get service of any kind. I did that once and got DQ'd. you have to come into the pits unrequested, which should give you your arrow and your countdown. try it in practice - suggest at lime rock cause spa is too darn long ;D
good luck --- jer

By the way. At Spa remember to always request the pitstop or the pit box will never be activated.

I've never requested a pit stop. I just pull in and hope my wife will put down her beer and change the tires.
