I had that problem in all ISI games :/.
It usually starts to pick up throttle around half way pressed pedal.
Brake on the other hand seemed fine at the time and all options are ok (same as bbman's).
I had some good idea how to bump this thread without anyone realise I wanted to do that, but can't remember it anymore.
So yeah, bumpy bump thready, me wants more racers for this event
I've not tested this, but I guess AI do start quali from pits too and now the practice session too (I think) . I guess this is where that bugs where coming in question.
Last year when they that thing across the globe.
You need to catch a plane to take you off on an another continent,
and if you miss the flight you're screwed.
Here's my first made scene and I have some problems (also not all materials are finished). It's really more ingame looking shot then a realistic render, but these 2 'bugs' pisses me off atm.
I'm using LightWave 8.0. You can see in the picture on the hood near windshield there's some strange shadow and on the bumper there's noisy looking shadow.
