Hi friends, I want to know if this disqualification is intented or just being overlooked? I was not aware of a disqualification not hitting the "drive" or ready up button before online race start. At least I expected it to auto start at 0 seconds or to start the race out of the pitlane at least. Thanks.
SMS never programmed an option to start from the Pit Lane so you need to press Drive or indeed you will be DQ'd. If Reiza has plans to change this down the line, we don't know.
It absolutely has to be "start from pit lane" or DQ. People who wander off or get disconnected at race start must not end up as "dead cars" on the grid.
@azaris 1.) of course it makes sense to prevent leftover cars from people running away. Never even thought of somebody would ever do this.. I totally agree with you. 2.) starting from pitlane would be a very welcome feature ... imagine you are driving for prizes, hit pole position with a personal best time against an international strong field and finally get disqualified. 20hr training and preparation, but no chance to even drive one lap. How it happened, last minute changes due to unexpected live weather changes, clicked out of settings with 5-6 sec. to go, which was not sufficient for the "drive" ready button to become clickable. I wish I had this lesson learned in an irrelevant training session.
