Please please please do something about the auto pit...i was live racing last night and it started to rain so opted for inters...so I manually pitted my 1st driver and delayed the second....then I pitted the 2nd driver in and all was fine....then the ai decides to pit my second driver again onto wets...which then basically effected the whole race. 

i dont have any massive game changing suggestions but if there were just a simple option of Auto pit on/off I believe this solves it for live racers and those that dont.

This also is related to the auto pit on low fuel for those that live race.

Perhaps in longer time this option or the options could be extended....

Nothing should be done auto.

Players should not race if they dont set up and pit stops shoukd not happen unless set in set up or done by player watching the race.

By auto-ing an option your playing the game for us, why?

I have had my car pit on several occasions and  I attend pretty much every race....I do not ask it to do this or set it up. 

I do not want auto...I want it off so it doesn't pit me when I'm live racing...I suggest it on as not everyone live races......

It is not auto. As soon as it goes from dry to raining there is an auto pit. Switching u from dry to inters. Thats the only auto part, n id like that to stay since i cant always make the live race, n driving on dry tyres during rain is suicide. The second stop u blame on the ai is probably because u set the strategy on the right part of the screen where it says change to (type of tyres) when the amount of water on track reaches (amount of milimeters).
I only set the bottom part where it says change to (type of tyres) when it stops raining for (amount of laps). Keep in mind this setting will apply wether or not u make a pit in between. So if u set it for 15, but after 10 laps its almost dry on track n u decide to go into the pit after 10. The setting will also send u into the pit 5 laps later as the setting is at 15 after the rain stops. So i think if u always watch the live race, it is best to set the bottom 1 at higher than the max laps in race so u can decide for urself when to make ur stop. Keep in mind, if u dont set anything, the driver will pit as soon as the rain stops because u set it at 0 laps after it stops raining (forgot to set it at a number higher than 0)

Also note that the vote should note be taken into consideration because people are voting with half info on the workings of zeros n ones.
Cuz thats all it is.
Zeros n ones.
If .. then ..
Just set ur strategy correctly and your 'problem' should solve itself.

I don't want it to change anything...I don't want it to pit me to change tyres or pit me as it thinks I'm low on fuel. The concept of my suggestion is quite clear.
I am not a novice Bo...

I an suggesting an option to turn this feature completely off for those that want it.

Seems there's s few on tonight being argumentative for the sake of.

Then just set the top setting at 0 and the bottom setting at more than max laps in race.
The settings are really great for someone who cant always watch a race due to work or sports or whatever.
Your driver "autopitting" as u say it is really your own mistake or failure to understand.

No offence

You hv to set settings every race anyway. Soooo... seems a bit pointless to me, but ok. I wish u best. Ill stick to just setting two numbers in a screen i hv to go to every race anyway.

Yes I understand I can set the issue for weather/tyre related pits but.....I can't change the low fuel pit! Is your suggestion for that put in 500L so it doesn't get low?

Your missing my point entirely...but cheers for the constructive criticism :) 

Thank you to those that have voted :)

Lol. I apologise for missing your point. I thought we were talking about rain.
I agree on the low fuelpit. Perfect fuelsettings still pull u in 1 lap short of 0.
But if u set it at perfect fuelsettings for the race, igp adds 1 unit of fuel on every stop to counter that.
U pitting early means u took 1 unit less than perfect fuel for the race, because u know igp adds 1 unit....
Am i wrong?

On the fuel stop i hv to agree with u. Its kinda bs. I think it could be easily (would take some reprogramming) solved by setting the number for forced pitstops at .5 of 1 lap of fuel. But thats something i can not affect since i dont work 4 igp.

I think the rain-settings-setup-options are perfect and should not change, but if 'igp' can set the forced fuel stop at .5 or even .8 of 1 lap of fuel the whole problem would be solved.

So maybe hold a vote on that.

As annoying as auto-pitting is, it's still way better than if you forgot to manually pit and the car runs out of fuel.

Yes it is annoying but Im not saying get rid of it I am saying give the option...I would rather lose a race to my own fault then the auto pit feature.

i hvnt had a forced fuelstop in (at least) weeks (maybe months) tho. Did u? As long as fuel is not below 1 at pitlane entry it will go that last lap without issues. Or maybe im just lucky.

Yeah had an issue tonight but past it now...just accepting it happens sometimes...I actually over fuelled too by 1 lap on each driver but it's like it didnt register.... probably rushed it or something while being frustrated at Man Utd lol

I suppose you're either lucky or provide more fuel reserves than I like to. Had to disable pit several times again this season when auto pit wanted to pit early (admittedly half of it was with a tiny bit less fuel than actually needed, slightly underestimated the possible push with the new tyres, but the other half was with several tenths of a litre of reserve) and twice when I couldn't cancel it for the second car, so they pitted together, because the pit lights came up too late (yes, I suspect you you crappy router/modem).

One league mate is especially suffering from early pitting cars without notification and pitting cars regardless he cancelled it, regularly, so far destroying every good result for him. The suspected culprit is his rather weather influenced internet connection but that wouldn't be that much an issue if his cars would just stop trying to pit early despite of enough fuel to go the intended distance, especially the unnecessary last lap stops.

Edit: Would greatly appreciate an option to disable auto pitting at own risk. Although, as mentioned before, I'd also like the ability to choose a lap number along with the fuel in (advanced) strategy to set up automated, pre-planned stops because the same connection issues preventing cancelling a stop in live managing can prevent calling a car in for a pit stop as well, with even more disastrous results.

I must admit, i had 1 2day. Pushed 2hard. But had plenty of time to cancel n turn back to low push. All my other stops where without intervention, ending in the pitlane with between 0.0 -0.3L. I dunno how much reserve u like to take, but if thats more than u like2, than i dunno man. Every race where the pitlane is alongside the finishline (if i dont overpush) it works perfect. If its not alongside the finish i might need abit more.

Then it's luck, that's about what I aim for as well. The two stops I couldn't cancel as the pit light first came on with entering the pit lane the car would have had a reserve of about 0.0-0.1 litres at pits. The other car, which I could cancel, and therefore was alert the second cars pits might come on as well and looking for it, had 0.5 and 0.2 litres left as it crossed the line doing the scheduled stop, my pit was quite a bit behind the line and thus the car would burn another 0.1l before reaching it. Last race I had to cancel at one pit stop for both cars with 0.3-0.4 (pit before lane so no exact data in the report) left at the regular stop, messed up slightly and overfueled more or less all other stints there.

Then i guess im lucky.
But i do agree, fuel has a lot of issues. 
From adding an extra unit of fuell on every stint, to early pulls, n even the fuel jumps after pitstops.(Unless im the only one with this issue) Often i tweak in between start n first pitstop (to counter the free extra unit of fuel, n when i leave the pit, it has added 2 liters of fuel, only to magically lose the extra liters after a couple of laps. Im guessing its cosmetical bug, n it doesnt really seem to affect me, but maybe thats because im not really competing for points yet.
I dunno.

Had a race today at Bahrain, and I attended it. Mid way through my race before my 1 stop, I adjusted what I wanted to do that stop so I just took away a little fuel(lower laps on tyres). After that pit stop I had to readjust my last stop to compensate for what I took away (add fuel, adding laps on new set). I take my last pit all is well, I’m climbing back to 2nd annnnnnnnd.... my car proceeds to flash pit on 27/28 laps with fuel and hardly any wear on the tyres I CANCELED and she still pitted.....  REEEEEEEEEEEE -__-
