Question about changing team ranking in editor

[jp]

Hello!



The fact that the pit stop follows the team ranking is annoying, especially when you want to build up a small team. Is it possible to change the team rating in the GPW editor so that, for example, Jordan is number 1, and in that way does not have to wait for Williams, Ferrari etc. in the pit lane? If so, how do I do it? Thanx

From what I remember, the pitstop bug is based on where you finished in the previous year's championship order.

So if you are Jordan, you have to win the constructors championship, so that your cars are numbers 1 and 2.  Then all other teams have to wait for you.

The only way to change this in your first year is to effectively swap Williams with Jordan, and all the images, logos, data, values etc.  Not really worth it.

The best strategy is to pit your cars when it is unlikely that any other cars are going to come into the pits on their 1, 2 or 3 stop pit windows.

But when it rains, you don't have much choice.  As the time lost on track can be more than the time lost in the pits - even if you lose half a lap.

While I make no promises, fixing this bug is on my bucket list.

I think its based on the initial ranking, not on the teams performance last year. I still had the pit stop advantage with Williams in season 2 even if I did not win the 98 championship. If you manage to fix this in some way, it would be amazing. Thank you for your answere. I agree it sounds like a big task to fix it manually by swap Williams with Jordan, and all the images, logos, data, values etc.
