Or am I just being stupid ? Ok, I was running a Talladega race, pitted but missed the start of the pitlane speedlimit (ie. I entered the pits way too fast <G>). So the spotter told me I had to stay in the pitbox for a 15 second penalty, ok fair enough I thought. So I waited for the counter to zero, hit button 2 to autochat and tried to leave the pits, but nothing. The engine spun but no movement, zilch, I thought maybe I'd lost 1st gear so tried 2nd, 3rd and 4th, still nothing. It was only a practice run, so I got one of the other racers ( it was a private online race) to try and give me a push to get me on my way again. but my car was just stuck, no movement at all. So, is it a bug, or am I missing something obvious ? -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers>

This is fixed in the patch. But if you already have patched I have no idea :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying
Patched UK version, so I guess the fix didn't quite fix it ;) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Olav K.

I was just sitting in the pit, I had a ping of 110 with 100 qual and I have ISDN so I dont think it was a warp. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "George Major" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:E%E57.2132$[email hidden]... > If you warp you can get stuck > >
