Minor inconvenience
Calling this a bug would be a strong statement, but it is a bit inconvenient and has happened to me more than once.

Sometimes I race offline with autogears, and when I join the CTRA server I get spectated as soon as I pit out with a message that autogears is not allowed. This is fine and good

However, when I take off autogears and try to rejoin, I get a message that I can't rejoin a second time until the race is over.

So yeah, don't complain and make sure to turn off autogears or you don't get to qualify and practice during the existing race. But this way I will only have 1 race to try for the lap record

haha. ok I suck.



edit: now at the start of the next race I was in the wrong car (GT2 instead of UF1), then I switched to UF1 in the pits and attempted to rejoin (after the little countdown timer on the rejoin button) but was promptly booted again with a "pit lane closed" message.

normally I wouldn't have mentioned it, cause that's SO minor, except that it counted for a "retirement" :frown: I am trying very very hard not to have any DNF and after 250+ races I had only 19 (still way more than I expected but I'll accept that) but having another retirement because the "pit lane is closed" is very frustrating.

If it's possible to smooth out these inconveniences, it would only make an already amazing system even more amazing. See? Ass kissing in progress :grin: CTRA rules! Long live CTRA!
Fair comments, i'll add this onto the to do list.
I've got a thing with this too, sometimes if i've been using the Sequential shifter and I want to switch to Shifter, i'll hit Shift+G twice, but as soon as I hit it and it goes into auto i get spectated. Could you not include a timer or something that gives you 5 seconds to switch out of autogears?

Bet way to deal with this is to add to your LFS scripts.

paddle.lfs
// Set buttons for paddles
/button 5 shift_down
/button 4 shift_up
/button 8 ctrl_f2
/ctrlf 2 //sequential
/echo Paddles selected

sequential.lfs
// Set sequential buttons
/button 12 shift_up
/button 13 shift_down
/button 8 ctrl_f2
/ctrlf 2 //paddle
/echo sequential selected
