    There’s something really strange that always happens to me: practice session, I’m alone. I leave the pits, drive slowly, without going off or anything, do a single lap and return to the pits... and there are always repairs, every time. What could be causing it?

    Hello,

    That's incredibly strange. Can you record a video or take a few screenshots, please.
    Also do you have any mods installed? Some mods can cause issues, like you described. If so, please delete them and all leftovers.

    Looking forward to your video or screenshots.

    Marius

    Of course! A very slow lap in Barcelona 2001 with R25. I have no mods. It happens with every car in every track...

    Do you have "Repair all turned on"?

    You may find that it is repairing the very small amount of engine wear which is actually accelerated if you go slow.

    Really? Yeah, I have it enabled, but I’m surprised it needs repairs in every case! Thanks for clarifying!

    It’s completely normal. You’re wearing down your engine and other parts gradually. Remember, it’s a simulation, so wear and tear are part of how Madness Engine simulates the interiors of the cars. When you pit, it quickly repairs the minor wear on your car. To some extent, how it's repaired it’s not entirely realistic, but yes, it’s normal and nothing to worry about.
