Okay, since I want to win this, I got an FGT, but that's irrelevant. The Bentley Speed 8 seems to be pitting EVERY LAP, and because of this, he's pulling 4:30 laps which, since it started, the Bentley's been knocked from 2nd to 7th. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I could only see it in B-Spec, but have you ever seen any AI like this?
 
Could it be weather-related? I have my first 24-hour-Le-Mans going, currently in the 13th hour. It started raining just after sunrise, track condition is currently about 25-30%, and I just watched the R8 in 2nd place pit-in again, a whopping ONE lap after they changed to intermediates, only to change to a new set of intermediates. And the R390 in 11th just did a 5:25 lap...

°dA

[Edit]post mortem: I learned in this race that the AI has very severe problems during the transition between an entirely dry and entirely wet track, and vice versa. When it stopped raining they all changed to racing/hard when the track was still at.. like, 75%.

Is there a way to tell PD about this bug?

I've done 2 Le Mans 24 hour races now (one with the X2010...yeah, that was overkill, lol. The other with the Pug 908) and they've both been dry (I think...I did go to bed for 9 hours or so, so it could have rained during that time and fined up again). Not including my car, there have only been 3 or 4 others who haven't been pitting every lap from about hour 16 onwards, it's rather odd since I do 9 laps :confused:

I was highly surprised to win by 18 laps in the 908....however, I did get an 'easy' lineup as there was only one Audi in it (the '06 one)
 
I am currently running the 24 hour at Le Mans and I can confirm what MasterLeaf has said. In fact 8 of the 11 opponents I am running against are pitting in EVERY lap.
The Audi R10 TDI is the only one not doing it and has gone from 10th to 2nd in the race in a short period of time (it was 4 laps down to the C60 Hybride before the pit-stop glitch started). I am entering the 23rd hour of the race and the first rain is beginning to fall now so I don't believe this to be weather related.
This is a serious issue however as it turns the 24 hour races into a joke
 
This happened in my run as well. R10 TDI is the fastest car in the whole lineup that won't get hit by it and it'll probably finish 2nd. Not that it mattered with me either with my FGT.
 
What I noticed during the few instances I was watching the race, was that the C60 never even went into a pitstop. It did a full lap on the reserve fuel and it slipped from...somewhere around fifth or sixth to dead last. Oh, and the BMW V12 did it as well.
 
As I write this, I am currently doing LeMans B-Spec for the third time. Here are some things I noticed:
1) The bottom three cars (currently the BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car, and both Pescarolo Courage 60s) are running on reserve fuel and tires completely gone.
2) The Pescarolo C60 Hybride - Judd Race Car is sitting the pits doing nothing. It's currently lap time (it's on 162 in dead last, no surprise), is ten hours, twenty minutes and counting. Also, the pit crew is just standing there.
