Tyre choice being ignored

Recommended Posts

australia practice 1, career mode, ps4.

if I choose to do either the acclimatisation or the tyre management programs more than once it puts me onto the set of mediums it says are for P2 for the acclimatisation and the set of softs for P2 for the tyre management irrespective of whatever set I choose.

if I fail either program should I not be able to repeat it on the same set of slightly used tyres?

Acclimitisation is always on the hardest of the compounds. 

You have to choose within tyre management the compound you want to use.

Yes but if I choose to run either program for a second time in a session (usually because I've had to return to the garage to repair damage before completing the program) it puts me onto the second unused set of that type of tyre regardless of the tyre I choose to use.

So after trying the tyre management program twice for instance I'll be left with having two sets of mediums which both have 5-10 laps of wear. It doesn't matter if I select the first set of mediums again, it always puts me on the set entitled "preferred for P2".

Are we not supposed to be able to try a program, fail it, and then re-try it on the previous set of tyres?

He wants to use the same set of primes he used before, but he can't as the game doesn't allow it.

Cheers mate, I never was good at explaining myself in less 1,000 words!

I'd just like to know if it's a bug or it's a deliberate decision that we get put on a new set when we run a program a second time.

Also it has a cumulative effect: I try tyre management using soft set 1, I hit a barrier and have to return to the garage, I try tyre management again and it's put me on soft set 2. Before the end of P1 I've also done a few laps using the medium so I end the session with 1 set of used mediums and 2 sets of used softs. Now when I start P2 it tells me two sets have been returned as per the rules, but instead of returning the 1 set of used mediums and 1 set of softs it has returned both sets of softs because it's put me on soft set 2 in P1 without me asking it to.
