[Bruno Rainho]

Event name: Spa 12H Team Race
Time zone: UTC +2
Race start time: 11 am
Split number: split 1
Team name/Driver(s) name: Grow Racing Team - RED / Bruno Rainho
Problems encountered: The first time we stopped for a driver change, my teammate Marco Pereira entered the pits, the whole procedure was normal, he received the notification that he had exited the car and I received the notification that I had gained control of the car, but when the refueling and tire change time was over, even though I was inside the car and the inputs for accelerator, brake, gears and steering wheel were working, the car simply wouldn't move. I tried with the ESC key, nothing happened, I had to do CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the game. I restarted the game and managed to re-enter the event and the car, but I ended up giving up because we were already 3 laps behind.

 

[winnie15]

Event name: Spa 12H Driver Swap Test Race
Time zone: UTC +1
Race start time: 17 pm
Split number: split 2/2
Team name/Driver(s) name: NFR Team - NFR Team 2 / Areski Etillieux
Problems encountered: 5 hours into the start of the race, we prepared for our driver swap like usual. Our teammate Vincent Fiquet entered the pits, the whole procedure was normal, he received the notification that he had exited the car and my other teammate took control as usual. However, after the whole pit procedure was over, even though my teammate was inside the car and the inputs for accelerator, brake, gears and steering wheel were working fine, the car simply wouldn't move as if the car was totally stalled. We tried with to restart the car multiple times but nothing happened like expected, so he had to ALT-F4 the game. While he restarted the game and managed to re-enter the event and the car, my other teammate tried to take control, and we exited the garage, which costed us a lot of time for the race and essentially the podium.
As proof, here is the trace logs (link here) of both of my teammates who encountered the issue as explained.

 

[Jev]

Event name: Spa 12H Driver Swap Test Race
Time zone:
Race start time: 10 AM
Split number: split 4/6

Found alt f4 is still a thing also removes damage, drive thru, stop go,,,,, after getting drive thru for track limits track becomes narrow everywhere as track limits come in with 2 wheels still on track.

 

[Gartzen]

This happened on Saturday UTC 10:00 race, Split 1.

During the last hour of the race we realized that, the remaining time the driver and the observer saw was different: I (the observer) was seeing 54 minutes left and the pilot was seeing 48 minutes left. So I hit escape to go to standings page, and in there, the time started to go down quicker until it reached the real remaining time. Here's the video of it happening:

Also, when doing the driver swap at the of the lap I linked, there is like 20s time jump when I take the wheel.

And during the following stint, the teammate who was observing while I was driving had the same issue.

 

[sachwenttolemans]

Event Name: Spa 12H Driver Swap Test
Timezone: AEDT
Time of race joined: 9:00AM (AEDT) Saturday 25th October
Split Number: 2/2
Team Name/Driver Name(s): #789 Cool Vibrations (Sach Sirimanna, Sahan Fernando, David Dean)

Issues encountered: During a driver swap, the next driver could not enter the car as either the "Start Driving" button would be greyed out or the next driver could not access the Watch or Standings screen and instead they are looking at the car in the pits with no overlays of MFDs.
Here are the times at which the issue occurred:
Sach S -> Sahan F @ 1:00PM - "Start Driving" was greyed out for Sahan F
Sach S -> David D @ 4:50PM - Could not access Watch or Standings screen for David D
David D -> Sahan F @ 5:40PM - Could not access Watch or Standings screen for Sahan F
Sahan F -> David D @ 6:46PM - Could not access Watch or Standings screen for David D
David D -> Sahan F @ 7:36PM -Could not access Watch or Standings screen for Sahan F
Sahan F -> David D @ 8:37PM - Could not access Watch or Standings screen for David D

Please include trace files of the problematic game sessions (all clients involved): Trace files for the drivers who experienced the issue (Sahan F and David D) are included as well the driver who didn't experience the issue (Sach S).

 

[scott_michaels]

Event Name: Bahrain 8h
Timezone: USA east coast
Time of race joined: 3pm
Split Number: 2
Team Name/Driver Name(s): R4R Motorsport/Scott Michaels
Issues encountered: Previous driver (Enis Dauti) entered pits as normal with Scott Michaels selected as next driver (selected on last lap of stint), along with the left side tyres used in qualifying, no right sides, full VE. When Enis stopped in his box he was removed from the car, but Scott didn't receive a countdown but the take control button appeared (possibly the start driving button, can't remember), when clicked Scott was dropped into the car sitting in the garage, with no service taking place, tyres and fuel/VE from the previous stint. Only choice was to leave the garage and obviously run out of fuel on the following lap.

Time of race joined: 7:00AM Saturday 15th November 2025
Split Number: 2/4
Team Name/Driver Name(s): Trackside Trauma - Sach Sirimanna, David Dean, Sahan Fernando
Issues encountered: Registered for the event with the lineup mentioned above, all registered driver's profile pictures are showing on the event registration view but the driver Sach Sirimanna cannot be selected as the next driver through the MFD.

[Nuowcs]

Event Name: Bahrain 8h
Timezone: UTC+7
Time of race joined: 4PM Saturday 15th Nov 2025
Split Number: 5/12
Team Name/Driver Name(s): Saigon United Motorsports Team 1 - Hugh Watt, Duong Dat, Long Mai
Issues encountered: At around end of stint 5, 4:30 mark. When Duong Dat get in to the pit for refuel and tyres, the driver exit count down then Long Mai taking control count down also start. But when Long Mai enter, the car got sent back to pit with no fuel and tyres done. Luckily we still have enough fuel to go back to pit and receive 100 sec stop n go for virtual energy usage.

[Neymak]

Event Name: Bahrain 8h
Timezone: utc+1
Time of race joined: 3pm saturday 15th nov 2025
Split Number: 3/17
Team Name/Driver Name(s): La Porscherie (#93) / J.Neymak - Q.Friggman - N.Hynsito
Issues encountered: When swapping drivers, just when the countdown to jump in the car ends, my game crashes instantly (J.Neymak), my teamates don't have the problem. I've tried three times, repaired my game, rebooted my PC and the same thing happens each time. This isn't my first endurance race on LMU. I've done them all since the beginning and never had a problem. Practice servers works fine, no problems.

 

[DeRauder]

the game rates the wrong driver as most consistent... See image

 

[Conway]

I don't know where to post such feedback, so I post it here.
Event Name: all
Issues encountered: Please make SR entry requirement for special events or add SR as a factor to the matchmaker (or split system, whatever). Also I would like to suggest to make some protests feature for long events and to assign dedicated stewards (I would even buy a subsciption if this will be a thing). This may motivate people to think what they are doing and how they race. Imagine having your team's race ruined by some headless driver after several hours of racing. Few more events like this and people will stop participating there, because there is no consequences for being reckless.

 

[Szefden]

Event Name: 4h of Imola
Timezone: utc+1 (Germany)
Time of race joined: 09:00am UTC
Split Number: 2
Team Name/Driver Name(s): Crash Test Dummies/Steffen Stein
Issues encountered: Just finished the 4h of Imola, at the 2nd stint from my team mate there average VE consumption was fixed at 1,3%.

And by the way, the split creation is not good. We had 6 LMP 3 teams registered and in split 2 there was only 1, and only 7 LMP2s. For the LMP3 it doesn't make sense to race at all, since there isn't any competition nor rating to be gained.

Hello,

Event Name: ELMS 4 hours of Imola - Driver Swap Test
Timezone: Eastern Standard Time
Time of race joined: 9 AM
Split Number: 11/14
Team Name/Driver Name(s): KYX Starter, Noah PT, Javier Mercador
Issues encountered:
1:58.21 (remaining time of the race) Crash during an endurance session. No sign of issues with Internet on my end prior to that and even at the moment of the disconnection (as you can see my stream is flawless). I think several other opponents crashed at the same moment (like the ones in front of me). I checked the chat after my stint, several guys were complaining about it (also a few racist comments btw).

I saved you 2 clips, one right before the crash and the second one, which allows me to restart from my box. I don't think the tyres were damaged from it, neither the car, and even the fuel was probably the same, but still we lost nearly 2.00 min of that race, a full lap basically. I can't imagine my state of mind on a 24h race.

Clip of 1 min at the moment of the crash https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxRPijWkuJ1_oHCLtElXuAmEG3Dh5mWG-a?si=g_WtGVlp5XPBomJf
Second Clip of 2 min after that first clip https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxh8FG0DXCJVT92aeFriirLLlKsdHEJ3N8?si=61u7ssKEijKKzGVK

Info updated and trace provided, please, advice.

 

[Lun4tic]

Event Name: 4h of Imola
Timezone: UTC +1
Time of race joined: 3pm
Split Number: ? (didn't get that far)
Team Name/Driver Name(s): Big Brain Racing - Red / Lukas Lettner, Lunatic Bragga
Issues encountered: Both drivers could not join the event server no matter what (& the game crashed, as is visible in the attached trace files). Practice server worked fine, as did a daily race later on (on Imola as well) No idea what happened, as it worked fine the day before & on Friday.

 

[KingrockS]

Hi guys. My m8 and I entered the 2.4 Hours of Le Mans (team event). I’m driving with no racing line, no ABS, no extra stability control, and so on. I started the race, did my stint, then went into the pits to refuel and swap driver.
My m8 drives with the in-game ABS assist turned on. But after he took over the car, he realized that the assist seemed to be disabled — he had it turned on, but in fact it wasn’t working (even though his racing line was still enabled).
Is it possible that some assists get “copied over” from the driver who started the race? Or is this more likely just a bug?

 

[Aysedasi]

As I understand it, this happens with coop events, the second and third drivers have to use the starting drivers setup, but can change BB, TC and ABS (in GT3s). So it may be the same.

Just to confirm, this is for game assists not setup "assists" (ABS, TC)?
