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 cockpit 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've experienced it many times in GP2. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ t.i.n.s.t.a.a.f.l.

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.
