I repeatedly have throttle and/or brake failure at the start of and/or during events, sometimes 2-3 events in a row, then it doesn't happen for 10+ events, but it does happen every time I play! Tapping or holding the screen prior to the event doesn't seem to have any effect. You don't know it's going to happen until it does, the throttle and brake displays only react to your inputs once the light turns green ... if FM were to change this you would know if there's an issue. Mid-event is more frustrating, if it's the brake (you only realise it when you notice that the engine revs are just slowly decreasing i.e. no gearing down etc) then it ruins an OMP race or (WT)TT event as you invariably go off-track and get a penalty, if it's the throttle you don't always realise straight away and by the time you do you've lost 50-100m on your OMP opponents. Flipping the screen had no effect for me, it's not a device issue, it's a bug in the game. There was always a problem with the throttle occasionally failing at the start of an event (mostly at Le Mans) but over the last couple years they seem to have added some new bugs which cause both the throttle and brake to fail at the start of and during an event. I (and others) have repeatedly told FM but they don't respond ... Amrosa said that they've unsuccessfully tried to re-create the problem but given that it happens on iOS and Android devices how hard have they really tried!?! I think it's just one of many problems with the game that you have to accept, get annoyed about when it happens, then try again and hope for the best.
