    First of all, congratulations to Reiza for version 1.6 and the success in LFM, which shows once again how important online is for a simulator.

    But at this point I would like you to consider removing the "driver swap" option, at least from the online sessions.

    This option was included in PCCARS planning an human player swap but was never implemented. It transfers the control to AI and does not add anything to the simulation. It only worth to accidentally select it (specially in ICM) and cause the AI to take control of the car, ruining the player's race because it has to pit again to recover the control. Even in offline races makes no sense because you can pause the game if you need a break in endurance races.

    Both in my community and in LFM there have already been many unwanted driver swaps that destroy player's race and can cause incidents with the AI because this "feature".

    Please, consider removing it from online (or add an option to grey it as i.e. "allow reafueling" in the UI and DS) to prevent accidental "driver swaps".
