yup literally drivers pit randomly even with weather strategy UNCHECKED.

Then lap 2 my drivers pitted even WITHOUT indicating.

This happened because orders to cancel pitstops were being cleared as your car crosses the finish line.  I implemented this "feature" a while ago to stop any order to cancel a pitstop from affecting more than just the following stop.  But in your case, your drivers had decided to pit to change to wet tyres before the finish line.  You then disabled "Follow weather strategy" before the cars reached the finish line, and crucially you also cancelled the pit stops before the cars reached the finish line.  Your order was then nullified as they crossed the finish line and so they both pitted anyway as they originally intended.

I've fixed this so the "clear" operation happens immediately after your car passes the pit lane entrance instead.

Btw, please could you list relevant data in your bug reports, it took me a while to figure out that these were the cars involved:

Andrew, one of my cars stopped at the end of the final lap for fuel, with 1 liter left. Could you please fix this ? Surely he could drive for 200 meters with one liter of fuel at reduced speed on the racing line.

Alin - put in the relevant race data as requested.
And is this related to 'Weather pit issues'

I know the developers are clever but they cannot read minds and it takes a lot of time looking for specific data. :)

I don't know if (and where) I can find data now, after the race.

OK, still driver pitted on last lap my last race, despite me telling him not to do so. http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=race-result/61#race

I don't get why I pitted 3 laps later than I wanted, despite the fact I said them to pit in lap 16. (they actually pitted when they ran out of fuel in lap 19)

Dragusanu: I can't see any record of anyone even having even connected to that race.  Also I have no logs of any realtime orders being given to any drivers in the race.  Did you actually connect using the 2D viewer?  Or is there some other way you were trying to get your cars to pit in lap 16?  Maybe you quoted the wrong link?? I'm completely lost here.

Alin: I'd spent a while in the past trying to make sure that drivers would never do that - pit on the last lap.  The reason why it was still happening is a bit complex but it was mainly due to the fact that drivers wouldn't second guess themselves.  If they decided to pit, they wouldn't later change their minds.  Also if you instruct them to cancel a stop, they will only take account of that instruction for the lap they are on and then resume their plans the following lap.  This might sound odd but things get very messy if your instructions were to apply to all future laps.  So in your case, you cancelled a pit stop on the penultimate lap.  Your driver then resumed his plan to pit and pitted on the last lap instead.

I've now changed the system such that drivers will now second guess themselves and choose not to pit if they realise that they would be pitting on the last lap and can instead aim for the finish line.
