Just like in GP2, where I do believe rubbing the plank simply slows you down put there is no penalty.

I've been trying out some monza set-ups for qualifying. I was on lap 10 of my 12 when 'Must Pit Now!' flashed up on my LCD Ignored it coz I was on a good hot lap, crossed the line and Noticed the plank part of the damage icon was flashing red, Pitted and then noticed I had gone from 3rd on grid to 22, with no time displayed, so I guess plankwear rules are modelled, Alan

I've been playing GP2 since release, and believe it or not, I have mastered the art of knowing which lap I'm on *sigh* Read the original post, I was on lap 10, and when the plank is rubbing, or anything on your car is damaged it goes yellow, not red, Since posting this originally my brother and I have been playing with the set-up that caused this and we have managed to duplicate the same effect on as low as lap 6 (we were reducing ride height to see in we could produce more plank wear) Alan.

Hang on, he was on lap 10, crossed the line to start lap 11, drove back to the pits (still on lap 11) and pitted?? Where did lap 12 come from? druidh -- remove _wizard_ for repl.
