Does anyone know the secret of how to pit in GP2? Every damn race or
qualifying (use the "Q" to stop, but still can't come into the pits) I
can't get the car to pit for fuel and tires... I simply run out of fuel
trying and trying... I back up (getting it to go forward again is a real
PIA) and try and try, but the car will simply hit the pit wall and
bounce back onto the track...

Today, I was racing in Magy Cours in the lead with 5 sec over H2F and
the pit light came on, so I was almost out of fuel, and here came the
pit entrance, I turn left hard, and hit the pit wall and bounce onto the
straight away.. Not enough fuel to make it around again and attempt to
back up and go and back up and go... ran out of fuel.... Race over...

How do I get the car to pit?????

Thanx

Hit your Enter key.  You should be able to go in then.

READ the manual! It's so obvious. Don't have it? Buy the damn game and get
one. The newsgroup is not a source of information for pirates. We won't
tell you how until you've shown some evidence of you actually owning the
original game.

you couldn't tell the guy to hit the "return key"... you had to be a smart ass.

Try it again, but this time slow down,  you got brakes, use them.

Use the pit stalls

Hey fuk head, I bought the damn game, what do you think you are the
fuking  Micropose watch dog??  On whose behalf do you speak in the third
person on?

On page 21 of the Fuking manual that came with My Pirated copy, it
states that the pit light conditions and the meanings of each. On page
24, Under the side heading of "The Pits" it never states what in
required to make the car turn into the pits.

On page ii, it refers to the Pits on page 24, and refers to page 8,
which in reality, the info is written on page 7, says to simply drive
onto the yellow line and it will take you in, and be sure to drive
slowly and watch for your pit crew, one must break before the jack
stand..

Now ***, that was a pointless exercise of reading the damn manual,
b/c at Magny Cours, the car still hits the pit wall and bounces onto the
track, at fast speeds and slow..

I've proved that I own the game, now prove that your not the fuking
*** that started the childlike bullshit attitude...

The newsgroup isn't yours to rule and judge, if I had known that I would
simply be told to read the damn manual again, then I would have never
asked in the first place, since its advice doesn't work at all the
tracks and I didn't want to dig the fuking manual out!!!!!

Danny, thanks and I do own the game and the manual, it does suck with
most of the information in the index being printed on the page previous
to the one stated. I didn't see the "enter" key, and it didn't work at
the Magny Cours track, I still hit the pit wall (both at high and low
entry speed) and bounced back onto the track only to run out of fuel
again..  Even with the little pit light on, the car doesn't want to go
into pits, instead I keep hitting the pit wall, the car simply doesn't
want to turn in....

Thanks for the help

Ric

BTW, even with the pit light on, if u drive too fast, you'll probably miss
it even with steering help! Slow down when approaching the pits and you'll
get in.

That's WEIRD, with a capital WEEE!!!!

I've got GP-2, and the only time I get an accident in the pit, is while NOT
seeing the pit light's on, and then I get pulled towards the pit, usually
resulting in me crashing into the barrier.

I've never NEVER EVER had a problem with entering the pit, even when the
light was off. Maybe you're just driving TOO fast when entering the
pit-lane.

I think this is a very very unlikely problem.

Hi.....I have never had any trouble pitting? are you sure you are
pressing the *enter* key, and the pit lane light on the dash is
illuminating? and you are sure you are not driving too fast?

Try it on some different tracks and see what happens, or are you only
having problems with one track?
