Another sensible comment from @7thGearRL, it's all about adding to the realism. Imagine if the engine blew out more often in career mode, more reliability concerns. But also in the online segment of the series, the hoo haa that this would add to league racing would just be thrilling. Proud site directors of worldwide racing leagues such as @AMS97KRR would be absolutely delighted and thrilled with this type of direction. If Codemasters and @T4RG4 get this implemented, then just like a bird I'll be flying into the next Tesco's to purchase the series. Many thanks, Ms Nelly Furtado x

Im am sure @robin8f has some strong views about this topic about random car failures, it would be good to see what she has to say and for her to provide her comments on such an intriguing debate

I think that's a very insulting comment, I think some good views have been made by many users including @AMS97KRR I think code masters need to take note of this and implement these features into their upcoming series - at least as an option. Like a switch you can turn on and off.

I am not married, and Brendan is a rather lovely man I must admit. He has some character @AMS97KRR Can someone from Codemasters team please confirm or clarify whether there will be random failures online in the next series?

Sorry I didn't reply. I agree to this, it should add a new dynamic which is much needed

Yes this also sounds good. However trading off performance against reliability may sell a few 'pipe dreams' for some players who then inevitably get stung for sacrificing performance. I think for variability for league races including the actual performance of the vehicle degrading throughout the race need to be taken into account, it will give it that special new dynamic which @BrendanRodgers1 clearly highlighted in a well articulated post

I do agree with you @Chicane486 @AMS97KRR - but sometimes when an online failure comes my way, I just say 'give it to me' I think failures of this nature are needed more often, along with engine blowout for over acceleration, loss of gear, hydraulic failure. I am quite supportive of the current pitlane failure though where the car is unable to leave the pitlane due to some unforeseen circumstances, it adds to the realism and I quite enjoy experiencing something that'll punish me and turn off the light on my race. I think more failures are a must online to spice up the show

The 'Promiscuous' hitmaker Nelly Furtado took to the Codemasters forum to request more random online failures in the F1 2018 Codemasters series. "I have really enjoyed the online gameplay from the F1 2018 Codemasters series this year, and I hope to enjoy the same for the upcoming series. I would like to put in a request for more frequent and varied random online failures. At present the cars can be driven as a 'man-eater' with no risk. There needs to be more DRS and ERS failures, with the variety of random punctures to make things a bit more unpredictable - it all adds to the 'hoo-haa' of online league racing. At the moment I feel like I've got the Spirit Indestructible"

All you have to do is clear cookies. Like a Maneater

As Nelly Furtado would say, "All good things come to an end".  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pBo-GL9SRg

I'm in a Sauber mate, and I ended up holding a queue of the chiltons and ericsons behind, and Sutil too for 16th place, losing 3 seconds a lap to Bianchi ahead. The game handling is extremely tough in career, I guess mainly down to not having the upgrades compared to the original car... whereas online with equal cars I found it much much easier. Loving the challenge though, will see how Malaysia goes tomorrow. I have a spirit indestructible!  

1 day to go!!! The final countdown picture, with Michael Schumacher! 

2 days to go!!! Almost there - This time from Rubens Barrichello and Car Number 2 from 2010 - Lewis Hamilton!

Lovely picture Gui!! 3 days to go - here's another picture, brought to you by Giancarlo Fisichella's Renault in 2007

If it was a 3 or a 5 lap race online, then they don't make you start on the set you qualified on, you get to start on a fresh set. For distances 25% or above on the F1 2013 game, you were locked into the tyre you set your fastest lap on, provided you qualified in the top 10.  League racing often starts a couple of weeks after the game is introduced, hopefully this is not a bug in the F1 2014 game, otherwise there could be a lot of backlash from some infuriated people! What distance was it? and test 50% distance to see if you get the same results.
