In my last race of the season (15th Dec. 2011) in the league \"speed series 2\" we drove in Abu Dhabi and when a big bunch of drivers went to pit in lap 9, they ALL pittet at the same place! They were inside each other and some drivers even had to wait for a free spot so they made a queue in the pit entry!

Is this normal?

They weren\'t all parked inside each other at one point were they?  Each driver in a team currently shares the same garage - and they will both use it at exactly the same time without affecting one another.  In other words, team mates can park on top of each other.  The plan is to rebuild this so that only one car can pit at once.

Queues may be forming because at the moment there is no implementation of safe releases.  Once a car has finished at the garage, it will leave the garage straight away without any concern for the cars behind.  This then holds up any cars behind.  This aspect should be improved within the next week or so.

Forget \"the next week or so\", I have implemented safe releases now.

So now the the team-mate will queue until the car in pits is released? Is that implemented to?

Thanks

No, team mates can still enter the garage, and be worked on at the same time.  I have only updated the way that all cars will be released from the garage so that they will check to make sure that the pit lane is clear before exiting (and so reduce the long queues in the pit lane that were forming).

I\'ll sort out team mate queueing at the garage soon.

I meant as I said :)
For real they all went into the same pit box (about 10 cars at the same place).
