Championship mode strategy pit stop bugs and more...

Recommended Posts

Retired from the online mode due to the reasons that we know. I tried a championship mode.  but surprised me with a lot of bugs too!!!.
I am using PS4 version.
First circuit Australia, 100% lenght, and I realized with a lot of inacceptable things:
1) Qualify session times with ridiculous for example Grojean 1:23, but the rest just 1:29. And I couldnt see the partials.
2) Lap times just 50 seconds per laps????!!!! yeah during a race...
3) Choosed the pit stop strategy in a full lenght, in a race, called me to pits 8 times at least!!!, I dont know if the bug is because when I used flashback.

My second post, due to I feel cheated.
I think We deserve a refund if Codemasters does not fix it.
The game is almost unusable.

Oh, I tried to continue, and starting again and strategy looks like:
Race start: Grid
Stop 1: Lap 0-1
Stop 2: Lap 0-1
Stop 3: 4294967295-0
Estimated Race Time : 541:39

AWESOME

@Panchomar I've not seen anyone report this issue before, can you give me some more information. First, which platform are you playing on? What did you do in practice and qualifying? That strategy looks broken, something must have happened for it to miscalculate like that.

I haven't seen the strategy problem either, but the ridiculous lap times, I have. I've seen drivers on pole with lap times that are 20 seconds too quick like you, but I've also had AI drivers top the timing sheets with laptimes of 486 minutes and 30 seconds, these were usually set before the session even started/right at the first seconds of qualy.

As i said, is Ps4 platform. With all The updates.
I did 60 minutes of practice.
then Q1 passed in 12 position.Q2 not passed.
I have some doubts about the flashback is not adfect it due to I did a quick race with 25% and the pit called me each lap after the first pit stop, and I used flashbacks too.

After reading this post, it reminded me about a strange situation last week.

It was in Practice mode in Pro season (Monaco) and in the garage, the menu was like this about the duration of the tyres:

Option : 63 laps

Inters : 103 laps (no joke...!)

There was a mix of sun and rain during the 3 practice sessions and I had to choose the right tyre.

Those sound fine. The tyre life expectancy is usually pretty high. You wouldn't pit around those times though. The usual intended strategy in Monaco is to pit for primes at about lap 35. The options could last much longer than that though.

I made my first race in championship mode, of course in Australia and just Rosberg and I (with a Ferrari) had a normal strategy and performance, 3 pit stop. I won with 8 sec of difference in a very good battle during the race. But the rest for example Hamilton made 9 pit stops others drivers at least 5, besides Rosberg and Massa I put at least one lap on all of them.

PS4 dry race.

Tyre wear at Monaco is virtually nothing. Hence it's a one stop race every year.

I'll have a look in to this next week when I'm back in work.
