Some success. Turning off repair damage and swapping drivers seems to work. I did a race at Misano and I managed to climb to third by the pitstops. When it all shook out I was… still third! I got my first podium ever in ACC!
I have to say, Misano is a really fun little track, although you get a bit dizzy in some of the corners. It has lots of corners where you have to turn in the braking zone as well, which is something I always love. A really neat track.
