What a frustating moment I have with this game!

I was in a championship in Malaysia, when I go to the pit, the car suddenly
stop just a little few feet before reaching the pit! I was unable to reach
my team and I lose all my position! I was in second... I lose the race...My
fuel was ok to reach the pit and the engine was ok too.  I will never
restart a championship again.  I will choose single race and I will write
down the result on a paper. What is this bug?

Do you have "Pit Assistance" turned on or off?  It could be freezing
when the computer takes over your driving when you enter the pit.

Yes... my pit assistance was turned on. Thank you very much for your answer!
I can't believe it... What a bug!
I will restart a championship with the pit ass on off.

                            Thank you again!     Guill

I have the same problem, but it happens when I am in "Driving School". I'm
going for the fast lap and I only get to the demo lap and pit it where the
game freezes. I'll try turning off the pit assistance.

Hit Spacebar when the demo lap is ongoing and it will turn control over to
you.

I tried that but I must have waited too long. I didn't read the directions.
I accidently deleted my driver so now I have to start all over again.

BTW...what is the advantage of working to get a gold or silver star compared
to the bronze star?

Thanks for the tip.

Yes, I'd like to know this myself.  Anyone?  I suck too bad right now so it
will be a LONG time before I get golds in everything.  Bronze is about all
I can manage for now. :-)
