Fixed an issue where some sound scripts were hiccupping during track loading, which could cause some significant delays around the 75% loaded mark.

Race Control has been adjusted to consider crossing any pit lane checkpoints as “pitting” for the purposes of any strict scoring events, such as Qualifying or Time Attack. This prevents users from using any areas of pit lane to illegally shorten their lap times.
Penalties
Fixed a bug that was preventing “clear penalty” events from being saved to the database, for display in the Session Events pop-up on the Members website’s Results pages. Please note that penalties were properly being cleared, they were just not being logged to the database for later reference.

Fuel Data
Fuel consumption data for predictions is now discarded for imperfect laps including: black flags, pitting, resets, loss of control, towing, or if the race is over.
