What the hell, i had enough fuel to go to end, i was p4, doing my best race in like ever, and went AFK while pl1, and when i got back it pitted me before last lap, cost me great points.
NO THIS IS NOT OK, disable the auto pit for fuel, i lost allot of points, this sucks, fix it or allot of people are out of here
Or atleast give the option to disable the auto pits

You can cancel a pit stop.

There should be an option to disable auto-pit when your in the race.

Happen already to me, sometimes when you are looking One pilot, the other do a pit stop and you can't cancel, but in general can do another lap, loosing advantage in strategy

Also occasionally canceling the pit stop doesn't work if there are connection problems, both manager and game server side, or the server is currently not responding for some reason. Happened just last race to another manager in our league. I suspect the server because at about the same time auto pit stop came on for one of my drivers during the very last lap and usually the server should stop that automatically, but it remained on until I stopped it manually, which luckily worked.
So I agree manager should be able to switch off auto pit if they like, or decide to dial in a certain lap to pit regardless of fuel. Obviously using the latter comes at a risk if your not attending/paying attention but also can provide a safety net again in case of connection problems, because without fuel based auto pit missing your pit stop would lead towards a rather final consequence.
