GP3 - Pit stop bug ?

Anyone noticed a strange sort of engine cut out sometimes ?

Just ran a 50% race at Silvy, set a custom pitstop slightly more than 50%
distance (i.e. at 16 out of 30 laps)

From 14 laps on (the automatic suggested pit stop) as I passed the pits, the
engine would cut out for a few seconds, a bit like running out of fuel
(still plenty left) or the pit lane limiter coming on.

Cannot say that I've seen this Andy,
but on my system I cannot replay a Hotlap!!
the game just exits....

Also I just won a quickrace at Hockenhiem ( thanks to hhf spinning out on
the sachskurve on the last lap in the rain), after I had won the race i
pressed escape and saved the quickest lap and then returned to the***pit
expecting to see the Number 1 video clip play, only to see the system
thought that I'd finished 7th!!! and intresting hhf ends his race in first
place with one lap to go.

so is this a bug or is it that if you drive the mclaren you loose the points
:)

I hope that they get a patch out to fix some of these things... lets hope
that they break with tradition..

I had the same after damaging a wing near the end of a lap at Melbourne.
It seemed like I had got low on fuel and the car was coughing and
spluttering, I was thinking, cool! Until it did it the next lap. Then I
noticed the pit indicator was on. ;(

Cheers,
Rod.

Sounds exactly like the bug that GP2 had. I've experienced it many
times in GP2.
