NSR - Pit Speed Violation !!!

by elrik » Fri, 18 Feb 2005 14:27:54

I like to run a long practice sessions with all cars (43) allowed on the
track.  (offline race)

No matter how I enter the pits I get a msg that there is a pit speed limit
of 55 (Daytona) and that my lap won't count.

So I leave the pits and never go over 40, same on reentering and still I get
that msg.

Do I have to enter the pits at exactly 55 !!!  ?    ;o)

   Not having the game,  I can't tell you if it's a bug, but here is the
Nascar procedure.
You can enter the pits at any speed UNDER 55mph.(note: miles per hour,
not kilos per hour) <2nd note: each track may have different pit speed
limits.>  
   You MUST be down to the pit lane speed limit, in this case 55mph, by
the Pit entrance.  Usually there is a white line and a Nascar track
Marshall posted there.  So IF you get down to 55 BEFORE the white pit
entry line is crosed, you should be fine.  
Leaving the pits is similar.  You must stay at or under 55mph until you
exit the pit lane area...again usually marked by a white line painted
across the track.  Penalty for speeding during a race is either going to
the back of the longest line or a drive thru the pits at pit lane speed
while under green flag conditions.

Thanks Dave but that's not the problem.  I can leave the pits and do a whole
lap and never go faster then 40 for the whole lap and the dang pit marshall
keeps telling me the pit limit is 55.

Could be a bug eh?  ;o)

PS.  This is happening during the practice session prior to a race.  Don't
know what will happen then.

I think they are just telling you that they are not going to record the
practice lap (telemetry?) since you are entering the pits.  I cannot say for
sure since no store has NSR in stock in my area. They are not saying
"penalty" or "violation".

Thanks.  That makes a lot of sense at least.

And you're right there was no penalty or violation;  that was just me
describing the situatuon.

Threw me off too, but I think Norman's explanation makes sense.
