Changing race length in championship season mode

Recommended Posts

Maybe I am just missing something, but I don't see a way to edit race length when doing a season. It seems it's completely determined by the mode you you choose (short mid or long weekend). I want to do a long weekend with full qualifying and such, but don't want to do a 100% race! 

Is is there a way to customize it?

Unfortunately you can't get the best of both. For a 25% race you have to do a 1 shot qualifying, 50% is short qualifying and 100% is full qualifying.

The only other option is to go to quick race, select every track and then you can choose the settings you want. You just won't get all the cut scene stuff but I don't mind that tbh (I haven't actually tried this but loads of people have said it works) So I'll be trying it tonight!

Wow that seems like a really basic feature they have overlooked. I would think a lot of people would want to do a full race weekend with a reduced race length!

Exactly! I always do 25% races but full qualifying. It's strange how when you go in to Championship mode, options like Qualifying length are in dark grey so we can't change them. Maybe it's something they will open up soon, who knows!

I did before 2015 came out it's the racing I want at that length not qualifying really but that's how it is I guess

I can't imagine it's a big thing to change but I know nothing about making computer games! Just need to wait and see what happens in future patches.

Me too . I only use quick race, pro season not for me, but championship should be custom, I want : 60min practice, full qualifying, 25%-50% race, never 100%.. Cmon CM change this please , other wise game for me will lose its appeal

Don't understand pro v championship season,, it's just locked modes, better off just having 1 mode but custom...otherwise modes are just not used

Another thing I noticed is that once you choose your practice/quali/ race length, you are stuck with those choices for the entire season.

yeah I'd like it if they did change it but it's up to CM but it looks like they have their hands full just trying to fix the game for those that are still struggling to play it.

It's not...
But it's quite evident that Codemasters have been incredibly lazy with F1 2015.
Some elements of this game, like menu options, are nothing short of baffling!!
There are just bog-standard basics missing. 
True

One single question: Why?????

One other addition to Pro Season Mode from Championship - You get P1, P2 & P3 in Pro but only P3 in Championship.

I have now set up a season in Quick Race and find it gives me just about all I need. It still keeps statistics and it cuts out all that waste of time presession chit chat.

That's what I use quick race, custom season, only trouble with that is, you can't then do a quick race without losing your saved season

Thought you had a problem with choice. I was not aware that it was not changeable from 25 - 50 - 100% from race to race. Excuse me.

Yeah! PC patch lets you customise your championship so I assume it's incoming for consoles.
