Paolo Di Giovanni medal 5000 5 years 340 days ago
Italian League, Elite, Turkish GP, 13 GMT. It started raining after 8 laps,
I sent my driver no.2 to the pit, I set intermediate tyres and let the driver no.1 do another lap (setting intermediate for the following lap). Well, driver no.1 went out with wet tyres (never clicked on wet tyres) and the driver no.2 stopped for the second time, with wet tyres. I didn't even see the pit bar blinking...
The rain was between 1 and 1.6 mm in those 2 laps, and my strategy was to set wet tyres with 2 mm (anyway, if we follow the race live, it doesn't make sense that the game choose the tyres for us, we are there!)
The race is gone, in the meantime... :)

It happened again two days ago, at Nurburgring.
As the rain reached 1.6 mm, the game sends my drivers into the pit to put wet tyres, even if I already did the pit stops one lap before (intermediate).
This time I was lucky to cancel it, but it's quite annoying.

It truly is annoying. Especially if the game continous to try to pit every single lap until the next pitstop.
Small hint: If you know you will manage a race live then set both the rain water height and laps after rain stops to their maximum values (5mm and 50laps, you can click and hold the arrow button). The game will almost never interfere and try to pit automatically due to weather changes.
