Recognized Points:
We’re in search of to urgently hotfix the next points:
- Full formation lap at Sebring routinely DQs the driving force after they move the pitlane earlier than the race goes inexperienced.

The consumer ought to keep near the pink barrier on this scenario to keep away from penalties. Drivers ought to preserve a gentle velocity and be two by two throughout this section.
It has been dropped at our consideration that following plugin “RaceHub_rF2_SMM_x64.dll“ from Asetek is at present inflicting crashes. We suggest disabling it till it’s up to date.
