N2 Bug at Sears Point.....?

I've encountered the following problem now for the 3th or 4th time: I do a 40 lap race (55% distance) in a championship season at Sears Point. Every time a yellow comes out I save the race and then continue. I have saved the race maybe 2 till 5 times (depending on the yellows). When I have finished the race the rest of the field just makes it to the line but gets to a complete stand still in the first part of the track so they don't manage to get to the pits which causes the race NOT to end. Whatever I try, they don't move. Accelerated time? No help either. So after all the hard work I have to restart the race and hope it will finish the next time. Anybody who have had the same problems?.... or am I the only one who races at Sears Point.... Cheers, Harald (personal best at SP: 91.497mph)

To the best of my knowledge this occurs because you have stuffed too many cars into the track.txt file for Sears Point. There isn't enough room in the pits for the number of cars you are running so, in protest the AI drivers stay out on the track at the end of the race. -- **************************** Michael E.

Harald, I remember reading on this r.a.s a while back that one way this problem happens is if you've added more cars to the race than default settings. My understanding was the addtional cars have no place to pit... so they bunch up aimlessy... resulting in your dialema. Just a thought. God Bless, Andre
