When the car is out of fuel, in some circumstances you can coast your way into the designated pit stop for your player.

However as soon as you stop there to refuel you are floated off the track.

Perhaps there should be an exception of this rule for if you're in the pit.

    Happened 2 times to Olethros driver during a champioship. Car is out of fuel but reaches the pit. After pitting is done, car is taken out of race.
    In raceengine.cpp function ReOneStep() the call ReInfo->_reSimItf.update() (check for fuel == 0) is done before the call ReManage(s->cars[i]) (refuel after pitting).
    This may be the cause.

    Hmm, I was not yet able to reproduce this (tried several times with empty fuel). I set up a robot with initial fuel for less than a lap and fiddled it till it almost missed the pit. Was you car near enough the pit center (maybe I could increase the "landing zone", but this could hinder opponents from pitting, hmm...?

    So, 20 tries later I could finally reproduce the effect, I will look into it. Good catch:-)

    Ok, the thing I discovered was no bug: If you forget to refuel with an empty tank, you are out of race right after the release of the pit. Maybe this happened to you?
