Had a situation last night in China where during practice I managed to loop the car into a barrier damaging the front end beyond repair (terminal crash). :eek: Opting to stay "realistic" I simply retired from this session and went on to qualifying. As I drove out on track I immediately noticed a massive vibration under braking. Took me a lap or so to check the Status pane and I saw that my front brakes were rapidly overheating. My qualifying position was really bad as my stopping distance was greatly lengthened. Going to the garage didn't fix anything. Figured my race was going to be a really long one with a bad brakes, but there was no sign of it during the race and there were no more issues.
Was this a bug or damage carried over from practice to qualifying due to my nosing the car into the barrier? Guess there was enough time between qualifying and race for the team to fix the cooling ducts? Anyone else ever have overheated brakes? It was nice to know that if it does happen, the game simulates it well - it was a bad shake and poor stopping experience.
