Pause doesn’t work?

Hey guys!

I don’t know if this is intentional or a bug and google doesn’t seem to be of much help. While racing in VR I cannot reach my keyboard so I cannot press ‘esc’ button to return to pits etc. It doesn’t appear that you can reassign this function either. I tried to map the pause button to my wheel (I know in some games this button has similar function in multiplayer), but it doesn’t react at all in r3e. Any suggestions?
Is this normal in r3e or a bug introduced in latest patch? Or is...
