Qualifiyng tyres

Recommended Posts

Hello,
I 'll do a carreer mode. The last 3 week ends I look that the AI and my car start the race with a different tyres used in Q2
I did Q2 in Austria with Super Soft tyres and when I start the race and manage the race strategy , I got the soft tyres as first stint and not super soft, and i have to change the strategy for to use
Super soft as first stint and soft as second stint, anso I look  AIs start with different compound where they passed the Q2 and arrive in Q3
I want to ask if one of them have got this things because it's a very bad things on tyres strategy and different from the F1 regulations.
I know  when you qualy in top 10 you cannot change the tyres compound for the fist stint of race and you must use the tyred that you got the fasted lap in Q2
so I did the fasted lap in Q2 with Super soft and I must to start the race with Super soft , cause i qualy in 5th position also...
looking to have an answer to that because the game it's really fantastic but this thing make me  some disapointed because it's not really as a reality.

Agree, also are the tyres in race all the times at 0% wear at beginn and when you do pitstop , what is impossible when you for example use in practice and qualyfing all SS tyres and then in the race you have 0% wear on this.
Hope they will patch this...

Apart from the tyres you start on assuming you made the top 10, all race tyres are brand new so 0% wear is correct. You cannot use race tyres in practice and qualifying - these sets are reserved for the race

What i mean is when you use in race a second time for example SS tyre, where the set is coming from? It's always 0% wear, normaly you when you use a second set of same tyres there must be used or not?

No that's not correct. 1 of each compound is new. If you do more than 1 stop you can use tyres left over from qualy.

If you didn't make q3 you'd have another set of brand new tyres for the race too. 

I'll check it out later and see if all tyres are 0% wear, if so then yes agree it's a bug

Sorry but there is no bug as far as I can see. I've just done a quick race at Abu Dhabi choosing the softest allocation. 

In qualifying I made it to q3 and throughout qualifying I put a lap on every set of tyres - all ultra soft. 

In the race I started on the q2 tyre - 11% wear
1st stop - fitted race allocated ultra soft - 0% wear
2nd stop - ultra soft fitted from either q3 or q1 - 13% wear
Had I finished the race I'd obviously then pit for another compound

Yes, i did this test to. It works well on quick race. Someone can test it on carrer, cause i m in a manor and don't be able to go to Q3

So in the race as a Manor you'd have at least 2 sets of softest compound available with 0% wear, plus have to use another compound with 0% wear, so unless you are 3 stopping it's not even an issue. See no reason why it wouldn't work as it should in career mode, Codemasters have got this right

Yes, this is right. My thinking was if you midsave during weekend, that the wear is gone to 0.
Maybee someone can test it.

One question. Is it possible like in real F1 to choose for example 3 soft 4 ss and 2 meds? Or is it not possible to choose the amount of tyres on your own?

Hello,
well I think that this things about tyres choose it's not in all circuit, also maybe there is a difference about quick race or career...
About the tyres, when I run in FP , I think that the tyres not used can be used during race,
and save the tyres for the race.or qualy.. or use  tyres wear 3 laps..
I mean, all tyres used or tyrrs that I can use during week end I want to see in general all percentage about
how many laps I can do with, apart the tyres come back after 30 min on FP 1, the game i saw that when you change practise you cannot use the tyres of past practise session, I dont know if there is some fia regulation on that but before the race I must look all tyres and wear about all compounds that i can use
for a strategy of the race...
