Hi I've been playing this for a long time with 2 accounts and 1 issue needs to be resolved as it is ruining the races.
As an example, I have a bad qualifying say 12th, I take over 5 slower cars on the first 2 laps, and then KERS kicks in on Lap 3 and them 5 slower cars all overtake me again with their initial KERS spurt.
Could you please talk to Jack and disable A.I. KERS until the human manager enters the race?
Thanks for any help

I agree with this. I have been in a race before when I have been 1/5 lapped by an inactive manager because they used all of their KERS at once and theyb have stronger KERS than me so I can't catch up again.

I move this topic to Suggestions subforum. Also I modify the topic title.

For a variety of reasons, managers who can't attend a race are already at an enormous disadvantage. Not allowing their drivers to use KERS would further disadvantage them.

Personally I don't have a problem with auto KERS, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it works to my advantage. It's another small element which has to be taken into account when managing a race. If this were a poll my vote would be to leave things as they are.

Yep have to agree with Kevin on this one!! We have some members who do shift work so some races they cant be there. I also have commitments myself (i raise money and awareness for Beyond Blue which is suicide prevention) that take me away from some of our Friday night races. So to just turn it off because you aren't there is a bit rough.
I do see what you are saying though but it just doesnt work in some leagues!!

Respectfully, I would try to avoid leaving my cars in a position for KERS to be used against them at any time regardless if the manager is live or not. This is a normal and more than expected circumstance to be present at any race.

Otherwise we might as well park all the teams that for whatever reason are not able to be present on live races.

Sorry Al, I sympathize with your frustration....the good news is....we are all affected by it. It's part of racing.
