Tyre wear problem at start of race

Recommended Posts

Hi all, first time posting. Don't know if the following problem has been mentioned before, I am playing champ season on ps4. Started race at Spa, expert, 50% length, 60 min practice and short qualifying. So I go to race strategy screen and notice it is a 3 stop race. My first stop is between lap 1 and 2! (should be 2 stopper).Start race and switch to info panel and notice that my tyres are orange. I only did one run in qualifying on options to save tyres and got pole. Only used primes in practice. Had the same problem in Austria. Seems like a bug. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Not necessarily the problem here, but don't forget that if you qualify in the top 10, you don't get to start on fresh tyres (at least if you do 3 qualifying sessions -- not sure what CM have implemented for short or one shot qualifying).

Yeah I know i'm not supposed to start on fresh tyres, but the set I used was new options and only did one flying lap in qualy. Doesn't make sense that when the race started my tyres were orange not yellow, which is even worse. Ruined my whole race strategy. Like I mentioned before, it happened in Austria as well. I think it's a problem on circuits with high tyre degradation.

Yep, I've had exactly same issue on PS4 version too, seems to be fairly consistent bug for me. Also had tyres changed during race, sticking to the 4 stop plan (?), to have the pit crew fit option tyres for all sets. No option was given on strategy at beginning of race. Also noticed that the estimated race time was 518:00 minutes. Something is pretty wrong with it at the moment, makes what should be a fun experience just disheartening.

I've just tried Austria in Quick Race. I did a lap on Primes in Practice and then retired. Then I did a run in Qualifying on Options (flying lap, hot lap, session timer had run out). At the start of the race I've not got any visible wear on my tyres according to the damage tab on the swipe menu. So, there must be something you guys are doing differently. Please can you give me as much information as possible to try to help me reproduce this.

The OP says he's running short qualifying and he's only doing one run to start on pole so he's starting on that same set of options.

Hi Lozzy, I tried quick race weekend at Spa and everything was fine. In championship season it seems to be a problem. Not sure if this is just a once off bug. Thanks for looking into it.
