MGPRS2 - Anyone Else Seen This?

I have just tried to start a career and in my first race at Australia I was disqualified for not being within 107% of poll in qualifying. Nothing unusual there, either I am obviously not as good as I thought I was or it is a lot harder than the first game, probably the former :-) Especially as I always used to drive a William's and get regular poll position. Anyway, the weird thing that happened was, after doing about five qualifying laps my time was about 8 seconds down on poll so I went back to the pits and accelerated time just to see how slow I was compared to the other drivers (BTW this is on Pro level). When I started accelerating time I was in 5th position, but only four other cars had gone out. As time went on, I noticed none of the other cars went out at all, so they did not set a time. Once qualifying had finished, a message came up that myself and 17 other drivers had been disqualified. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Looks like it's back to an ordinary season in a William's for me for the moment :-) -- Sean Black
Sean, I have the same problem with qualifying. In F1RS I was able to get pole position in Australia without too much trouble. In MGPRS2 I can't get anywhere near my old times! I'm not quite sure what the reason is. The other cars are MUCH more difficult now, but that does not explain why I can't get similar times to before! Iain
