littlelasso 0 Posted August 13, 2020 During my first season of my career at the Russian grand prix, in the race I got random orange rear wing damage while driving down the pit straight early in the race which cost me alot of pace. I didn't crash or get crashed into and the damage fixed itself right before my pitstop. Is this a bug or has anyone else had something like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragequit1 315 Posted August 13, 2020 It's DRS failure most likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losbuttcheeks 1 Posted August 13, 2020 Lol yeah the drs fails sometimes. It can occur in any session. I've had it mostly in practice. In Quali once and again once during the race. I'm not sure how you lost so much pace since the drs isn't allowed every lap of the race. It fixes itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryne 25 Posted August 13, 2020 Need to have random failures next year with user cars. Make it a toggle or something for those who don't want it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlelasso 0 Posted August 14, 2020 Ah ok thanks for the info guys I had no idea it could fail like that. What's also weird is that my engineer never told me about the damage and when I checked the vehicle condition he never mentioned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultra3142 423 Posted August 14, 2020 I think what happens with the DRS is that it can either get stuck open or closed, which will obviously have different consequences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS Phil 214 Posted August 14, 2020 As the player in career cannot have mechanical failures (should really be implemented CM), some use the DRS failure to retire from race and balance with the AI risking one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always have two technical retirements per season. Curiously they always happen in France and Vietnam - I never even make it to practice! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
