    Is anyone else having the engine not start when joining the grid in multiplayer.

    I have two keys on the keyboard mapped for ignition (I) & starter (S). Before the latest update I needed to press these to start the engine when leaving the pits & starting a race. Today I joined my first multiplayer races since the update, in practice & qualifying I started the engine as usual with I & S, however on joining the grid for the race I could not start the engine, so not wishing to be in the way I quit out before the race started. I then tried racing against the AI & the engine is already running when I join the grid. What am I now doing wrong? Will the engine start automatically before the race starts & I was not waiting long enough?

    Any advice welcome.

    Right now it starts automatically right before the race starts. Not sure if this will change back to the old way.

    Ah, OK thanks Danny, clearly I was not waiting long enough.
