    I hope it's not only happening to me.
    When i drive on Spa (for Example) and after a few Laps i want to pit.
    In that Moment, when i have Contact with the XPitIn Object, my Laptime gets cancelled and the Timer doesn't start again when i cross the XFinish Line.
    I have to drive another Lap, to get the Laptime starting again.
    I haven't tested, if it also happens in Quali and Race Sessions.
    I never noticed something like that in the Past.
    I'm opted out from any Beta.

    It only counts lap times during the race when you're in the pit.

    so why only in race session ?

    RF2 is programed that driving in pit-lane during Practice / Qualy / Warmup is like a short cut ?
    and Lap Times are cancelled ?

    It's not a bug, it's needed for a few tracks where driving into the pits is quicker than doing the main track.
    For example:-

    We still have the problem, you get your fastest lap time in race when doing your pit stop at tracks like this.

    I thought this always happened, at least as far as the MFD current laptime showed.

    I don't know why it only happens in race, it's just always been that way. I guess it happens in race because if it didn't, you would have scoring issues.

    I honestly don't remember having this happen during races, but yeah - that should be a bug report really. Makes sense that all laps get timed, but the 'fastest lap' should ignore in/out laps. (unless there's some scenario in which it makes sense......)

    so yes it is not a bug
    it does exist since RF1
    don't know if in GTR2 it was the case ?
    for me i still put it in the wish list.
    (cross finger to put it in LMU ?)

    when you are racing on a track, in real world or in sim racing, we could be able to have all timed laps available .
    all datas are needed (for me) !
