    Hello, I don't know if it's already known, but at the DTM 2016 you always start races with cold tires (75 degrees).

    And it is also the case that you are currently not allowed to drive through the pit with a pit limiter, otherwise you will get a drive through penalty. As an example, the speed jumps from 49 kmh to 50, to 51 and that is then recognized directly as speeding in the lane and you were too fast, although there is nothing you can do against it and you have the pit limiter in it. There is always a drive through, which cannot be avoided unless you drive manually 1-2 kmh below the box speed.

    We are currently racing in our league on the Bilster Berg Track and we had a person with us during training that day who did not know about the Limiter. He had 3 penalties in a row because he drove through the pit with the limiter each time and after the third penalty he left the game.

    Please fix this...

    75 Deg is not cold. It represents the temperature of the tyres after a warm-up lap, they would not be at optimum temperature as they are when starting in the pits from tyre warmers. 35 Deg is cold.

    Pit limiter issues have been noted and will be sorted at some point.

    Yes, but the tires are cold (blue) not warm. In the past when race starts it was green tires

    Just because the colour is blue does not mean they are cold..75 is not cold. After a pitstop the tyres have been in the tyre warmers.

    Yes but i think in the past, the tires on racestart was warm with 95 and now 75 and cold after the update.. if this is the new standard, it is okay but unfamiliar and confusing, which leads to many accidents at the start

    This lower grid temperature logic has been a feature across all cars for quite a while now. It has not changed in the latest update.
