Took some time but i revisited this issue. Lo2k suggested to have a look at the pitlane verges (command should be present + nonzero width) but I think I can rule this out as well. I made sure the command is present and played around with the values for width a bit but the problem remains (various tracks, e.g. the post 2002 hockenheim, shanghai, newer versions of montreal). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
