For the rest of the great comments, can I recommend that you shut down the forum and simply place a link to the manual, that would remove all the stress to each of you that feel obligated to help someone new.
I've searched the forum but came up empty handed. Once a race starts everything is good to go, then you crash your car and make a pit stop. When you come out of the pit the car won't go above 45-50 mph depending on the car. Is this by design?
