Hey, earlier on I was racing Blackwood XFG and at the start my handbrake never released when going off the line, by the time i'd realised what it was everyone has shot passed me and I had to tap the handbrake a couple of times to release it.

Would be pretty pissed if this happend in a proper race, anyone else had it?

It could be a controller issue: dirty contact or sticking button. Happens sometimes.

I had actually similar thing few days ago. I was just trying the FXR sounds around FE4 with mouse. I'm not sure whether or not I used handbrake but you can clearly see that handbrake is on in the replay when the car doesn't want to move. And it didn't let go either. I have the handbrake programmed to Q button in my keyboard set and it has never "jammed". However, a handbrake should release when you put in gear... Version V

The "interesting part" starts around after 2 mins

EDIT: I just found a new keyboard shortcut in opera for the q/a buttons

does it happen in windows mode, b/c if you hold handbrake, then click outside, then click inside again, it holds on for some reason

For me it was fullscreen, though I'm not 100% sure...

There is a way to make the handbrake hold, i can't remember what it is though, but no, I wasn't touching the handbrake in this replay or messing with it before hand or the previous race and no buttons were sticking or have ever stuck on my DFP.

Thanks for the replys.
