So, in today's Lago Maggiore GR3 daily, I decided to run the RC-F. I was pretty pleased with a 1:57:1 qualifying. I started 3rd for the race in the video (the two guys in front were on 1:56.8's). HOWEVER, in both the video clip, and the previous race, after being in (back to back) podium battles, my pit crew let me down. In the first race, I was upset, but thought it was an isolated incident and a potential random factor gone wrong. Then, it happened again, but worse, in the second race.
The pit crew just SITS THERE for five whole seconds. I mean, I like the idea of a random factor, but IMHO, it should be less that 1 second of randomness because 1 second can make or break the race. FIVE SECONDS CANNOT BE NORMAL! To say that this upsets me is an understatement. This upsets me more than a bad driver.
See for yourself. From the time the car comes to a complete stop to the when the tire change starts is five whole seconds.
This might look innocent enough, but this affects so much. It dropped me from 3rd to 9th! Luckily, with some luck, I clawed back to 6th, but I should have been in that podium fight all the way. This affects DR and XP, not to mention the rage it causes.
