Re the automatic pitting on the b-spec:
You said that it pitted itself when the tires went red but usually when you
enter the pits you have to choose your options and then press x to continue,
does the game choose the options itself after a certain amount of time and
change the tyres and re-fuel by itself.
If it does i'll leave it on overnight!!!!

I think there is some very bad bias towards the AI in this game. It is
annoying how you just know your car is better sometimes and you handle
it okay but it just can't win the race. I'm just glad for places like
this so I have a small understanding of the game, and gamefaqs of
course!
