I haven't done any PRAC yet for this season, but it shouldn't be any different to finding a brake marker for a  corner should it?
That's right. You find a fence or something like that where the pit lane speed limit starts. Or you do a burnout like Bacchulum.

The line is just before the kink left... just did a race on the practice XGN server and tested pitting almost every lap  :P

So you exit into pit lane, go under bridge thing and then just before it straightens left slow down before then and ur fine...
Could push it a bit further but why risk the 10secs  ::)

I am getting a checksum error when trying to join the practice server...

Also, my throttle is in a bad way.  Took it apart and cleaned it but it's still no good :(  This is what it's doing from a telemetry perspective - you can see the gas graph second from the bottom where on the straights it should be one flat line but it's got all these blips in it:

I've tried looking in the Logitech profiler and in game but I can't seem to find a "deadzone" option.

Assuming you are using a G25/27, try swapping the potentiometer from the clutch into the throttle as it will be in far better condition.
I've had similar issues previously.  In the end I bought a new G27 after the cleaning/swapping failed to resolve it.

Or as a desperate measure, you can really lower your max range of your throttle pedal in AC, below the dips in the throttle trace, so you still hit 100%, but you will lose some pedal sensitivity.

Is it a dirty pot?  :D
Does it spike when you look at a live graph of it?
If so then you could try inhaling Contact Cleaner until you pass out...  :P (I know I have...  :o)

I'm going to disregard pit lane speed penalties as AC 1.3 broke apps' ability to tell when a car is in pit lane, until if and when we get an AC fix.

Does this mean last week's results will be adjusted?

The PLP app seems to be picking up speeding in pit lane?

Yeah, I should, for fairness.

I've also checked the ballast allocation and I hadn't used the adjust kg/sec after the stats from round 1, which reduced the ballast amount a little. The new ballast is:

 
Bacchulum0
Bafs170
Chap1110
christopheraser0
EdWood92
Freezer0
G0RGAK0
Grat118
Grubbet18
Guybrush Threepwood130
Jeremy174
Joe28
Mael0
Marty100
Matthew111124
Phil.875
Rolz0
Schmittez0
Simone0
Skaife119
StanDaam16
Wally21
Will78
For the curious, the current ballast amount is 53 kg slows your lap time down by 1% (i.e. 1 second over a 1:40 lap). Measured and averaged over multiple racers, not guessed.

What hell is the deal with this car bogging down at the start!? Last week I didn't have the issue at all, then on the practice server last night it was happening again. Wonder if it's a bug based on car #

Joe off the line you need to make sure you get some wheel spin, not enough wheelspin and it bogs down very badly. I did do a couple of poor srarts in it too but noticed you got away very slow in a couple starts.

Irs always needing to find the balance between too much wheelspin and not enough. Get it wrong either way and you wont get away very well, but in this I think there is less issue with too much wheelspin compared to none which gets away way slower.

Not always Marty, some days for example, I can put it into 1st from a standstill, push down the accelerator and it pulls away easily like any other car. Other times it take a few seconds to get moving.
