They were probably calling you in to change to rain tires. If you want to 'ignore' a pitstop, try hitting ENTER. That's the way it was in GP2...

I just raced on the Monza track for the first time and it was raining during the race and for no reason i kept getting pulled into the pits every other lap, i had it on rookie with the steering aid on and the wheel just forces you to the right when coming around the last turn and just as you're about to go down the straightaway it yanks you right and into the pits. It also kept happening to the AI drivers as well as they all seemed to keep pitting every couple of laps. At first i thought all the pitting by the AI cars was because they maybe got some damage after sliding into each other in the rain, but it kept happening, and i kept getting pulled into the pits every few laps even when going way over to the left on the last turn in order to try to fully avoid them. Anyone else have this happen? if so i hope this bug won't exist in the retail version and if it does they better patch it because it's a major bug.

That's odd that it happens to the AI as well... In the bottom right corner of the cockpit there's a small display that's a red x with 4 green corners, when the 4 green corners light up, that is your pit orders (red x light up = teammate pitting) Pressing Enter will order a pitstop on or off. Make sure they're out when you're by pit lane if you dont wanna go in there if you have steering help on...

turn steerin help off... dt21 wrote:

got the retail version, but it happened to me too. I think this is because of changeable wheather conditions. Your pit-crew thinks it's either too wet or too dry to continue on your current tires, and calls you in. Off course you can ignore this by hitting the [enter]-key, but in GP3 those green markers are so small I hardly ever notice them...
