    Hello to you all, hope that you are having a nice time!!

    It has happened to me a few times that on the middle of a race, like 4 min of 15 min and before I can tell, I'm sitting on the pit lane, no crashes, no off tracks, no nothing, I've been looking around the forums and didn't find any information about it. Can you please help? It it's ruining my ranked races.

    Thanks!

    Were you somewhere close to the end of the lap? Did you drive close to the pit entry or pit wall? If you have replays saved, you can check it there.

    Is your HUD enabled? Maybe you're getting disqualified for something and you're not seeing the messages about that.

    Well, that is the tricky whing, the times that has happened, I'm on Ranked race, no incidents, may be one slighty touch on a curve, but no passing near pit lane or doing anything that may be considered a penalty, my profile is DiegoCjSalas (not able to post any link yet) and I found the files but I'm not shure which one is the one for that race.

    Well, I use an spotter that should tell me any flash or penalties, maybe the one I have is not working propperly?

    That contact shouldn't have any effect on that if it was 3 laps earlier.

    Recently there are many cases when the game thinks you cut too much and disqualifies you for that. When it happens, you get sent to the pitlane only a few seconds later. This usually happens near pitlane entry or in the last corner if you went wide off track. That's why I asked you where your car was before you got sent to the pitlane.

    To be honest, I wouldn't rely entirely on a spotter. I would set the HUD at least to "essential" so you are able to see those messages whenever they appear.

    That's the weird part, I usually try to drive safe and that's why is so confussing to me, thanks for the insights.

    I will set the game flags information, maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

    Sounds like you had an unserved penalty
