I'm sold. I'll be picking it up. The difficulty increase with the patch has tipped the scale.

2x Wear means that in a 50% race u have the exact same wear as u would in 100% race with normal wear. So this means that 3x Wear is what u want to run if u are doing a 25% race as that is half of the 50% obviously. The only time to use 4x wear is anything below 20%. This makes it so u have 1 stop on a 10% race or 2 stops on a 20%.

Online Problems So Far
  1. When people pit online under the yellow you can't tell because their cars are still riding around under yellow on your screen.
  2. Damage online is even lamer than the damage offline
  3. Crashes online with other cars often result in my car coming to an abrupt stop for no reason.
  4. Online restarts are messed up, cars are often seperated my multiple car lenghts when the green flag waves.
  5. Online had No car collisons at watkins glen without any reasoning or notice
  6. Online registered 1st and 2nd place both as 2nd place in one race I was in.
  7. Online pit stops are really lame and take any pit strategy out of the race.
  8. Career Driver is the ONLY car you can race online. You have to restart your career to change your online car.
  9. When you create a private match you only have 60 seconds to invite your friends before the race starts automatically.(THIS IS REALLY BAD NEWS FOR LEAGUES)
  10. Race length options are not very good. 2% 5% 10% 50% 100%.(added for hitstickmaster2)
Obviously some of this will be tweaked or fixed with the patch, but the online pit stops are flat out horrible. You stop in your stall and the pit options pop up, as soon as you confirm what you want your car just drives away. No pit stop animation, it doesnt even make you wait there while a invisible crew works on your car. It just lets you drive away completing the pit stop INSTANTLY.
man iam only going to play the game online but if this is the case ill stick with iracing.
So is this post so far true? IF this is then the pit stops are seriously lacking, one of the main things I liked about this gm in the vid docs was how nice it was to finally have an animated pit crew back, not like iRacing and their timer.

I'm mainly buying the game because I want to play offline with the stout AI and lengthy career mode. I hope they have quickmatches without much in the way of pitstops.

I think they'll jump on the pit problems once they realize how significant they really are. Hopefully people cut them some slack as a new developer. It is a phenomenal RACING game. That's a great foundation for the detail work to come.
