I found another bug on the N2 patch. This time is the yellow flag. Sometimes it won't wave after you pick up the caution

Is this different behavior than pre-patch? The rule in NASCAR (real life) is that you "take the yellow" the first time you cross S/F while the yellow is out. The rule in the game is the leader of the race takes the yellow the first time he crosses S/F, and then each car takes the yellow the first time he crosses AFTER the leader has already taken the flag. This implies that you can (often) cross S/F line twice before seeing the waving yellow flag. ---Jim Sokoloff

You cant see it more than twice...if you cross it and keep going you WILL get the yellow the next time...this works the same in nascar....the leader has to take the yellow, thats where you get the race back to teh yellow e***ment.Lapped cars love this time...I haven't seen it work other than teh correct way...it would be screwed up if you saw the flag twice and still didn't get the yellow...but you should at most get it on the second pass by.
