Has anyone tested a pit stop on the track, at RD 2nd comment on the track.

Beautiful layout, do not give 5 stars because the box does not work, you can not refuel or repair;-)

Can someone test the yellow 44 gallon drum on the exit to the 2nd chicane.  I could have sworn I was to the right of it but still seemed to hit it head on.  I was trying to get max speed through there and testing the line to see how close I could get to the drum on exit.  So wondering if its an invisible wall or not.. will try again later.

Not had any probs with it so far. Done 20 laps or so off line. Not sure what's a quick time though.... :) Might jump on for some much needed laps in a wee while. ;)

yeah I haven't had an issue with that chicane since.. struggling with stability on this track though as soon as I try and push the car a bit.. very hard to control with the joystick when it gets too loose.

Haven't tested an actual stop yet but there's no pit limiter. :-\

Did 1 lap in race just to test pit stops, they don't work. Enough laps for me on this track too best not to say much more on that other then Riverside 1.0 got released and I'm sure it all works drives and looks great. Its not British but its also not a crappy mod track so I guess thats 2 requirements that aren't met by it for a Thursday ;)

We got two choices.

1. Switch tracks - Silverstone old?

2. Stick to Croft, warts and all, and just have another handicap mechanism.

Silverstone old would be great.

Nope Im kind of glad it keeps me busy Thursday nights.  ;D

I could say its the worlds greatest mod track, pits work etc but that would be BS lol.

I ran a lap to test if pits work seeing nobody else considered to test that. I did see you guys were doing pit stops so its kind of something that should work. I would assume its the minimum standard for a track but clearly my standards are too high.

Thats the only reason I ran a lap there and I cant imagine a reason to run another.
