To all those caught out by the grid bug.

First off I think it must be an FBMW specific thing, as I have raced here with a variety of cars and never had a problem. The same happened with GP200, which we got fixed and appears back on the calendar next season.

Offline last night I tried starting from a variety of spots, but obviously not the ones which caused the issue, and each time got away fine, as did the AI, but that did not catch the problem.

So apologies as I say, in a year and a half of racing we have as far as I can remember only had 3 races with real issues, and fortunately we were able to make amends in time for Race 2.

Yeah I wouldn't say it affected my race majorly, considering I wasn't fast here and probably would've lost those places anyway.

Nevertheless it was pretty annoying sat there with the wheels spinning around and the car going nowhere!

I think the grid spots affected were p10-13, it was then just unfortunate that before we could unbeach ourselves the guys at the back had no time or space to avoid the 4-5 stranded cars :(
Glad for the rolling start in race 2 though! :)

There were grid slots affected towards the front Mark. I was in 5th and got beached.

Sorry i meant 9th-12th for that block of cars, (its all i could see that stuck for 5 secounds from my slot before seeing cars smash me lol so there may have been more affected yes), didnt realise i started race 1 9th, as i qualified 10th but i guess Dans sudden departure lifted me a slot.
