What happens if I use all 6 engine components of my power unit? F1 2017 - CAREER MODE

Recommended Posts

Hello
I am using a renault for the team of my career mode, I'm now going to race in singapore but in a couple of races i would have already worn out all 6 components for each sections of my power unit. can someone please tell me what I do after they are all used and worn? (yes i already invested in durability). do you get more parts after number 6 or are you forced to finish the season with only 6? someone please help!

Wait are you limited to just 6? I was definitely able to take up to 8 prior to one of the updates (1.6 I think) and then unlimited now. If it's still limiting you then something is wrong...

You can add more (use the + icon!) add one of everything even if you don’t need it!

Yep! I'm only limited to 6, and with I think 5 races to go I am gonna be completely screwed! I unlocked 5 & 6, but there is no 7th, 8th & so on part... do you think it's update related? because I have downloaded last update...(PS4)

What % wear are you at? It might come available next race.  If you have just taken one it won’t let you add another until next race otherwise you can get two engine changes and one would be free.

It doesn't give me a + icon. The first 3 components (MGU-K, MGU-H, ICE) are just now fitted with the 6th usage (still green). The other 3 (Energy Store) still at 4th, Turbo charger 5th, & Control Electronics 4th.
do u think i should wait a few races after the 6th one is done completely and then look out for the +icon? 
Thanks so much btw :)

6?

8?

I'm with HAAS and I have 4 of each.....6 PU components and a GB....but still...only 4 of each.

Talk about underfunded.

EDIT: maybe this thread can help get you pointed in the right direction somewhat.....?

I’m on my 7th now and have a + button for an 8th I’m in mclaren and wanted to keep it realistic this year so no reliability upgrades except to Gb

it depends on the moment when you want to + it.
I thaught you can defenitly + it at the start of every weekend.

Hi @alex98p, after you've used the initial 6 components you can order another by pressing the [+] icon, you'll get a grid penalty though. If there's no [+] next to the component you want more of then you'll have to wait until the next weekend for the [+] option to reappear.

There's 24 available gearboxes and components in total for each season.

Οk guys I finally figured it out, I forgot i had ordered my 6th component last race and therefore was unable to order a 7th (which is why there was no +icon, pretty silly.)  Just one last question, whenever you order an additional component from 5th and up do you always get a grid penalty? thanks

Yes you do, just like Vandoorne and Alonso this year. It's just that, unlike IRL, you're capped at 8.
