No strategy/tire/fuel options available F1 World Community Grand Prix Japan

Product: F1 23
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Summarize your bug No race strategy, tire choices, or fuel load options available F1 World Community Grand Prix weekly race Japan. Game assigned hard tires with no option to do otherwise. Thank you for wasting my time today and all the time I spent practicing and qualifying for the race.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? N/A
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Att
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Spend several hours practicing and qualifying using your own race strategy, setups, and tires. Qualify doing the same. Then sit and wait for the weekly which is today 23 Sep. Then “Go To Race” and you’ll find at the start of race there are NO OPTIONS for race strategy or tires. In my case the game gave me hard tires for a freaking 19 lap race
What happens when the bug occurs? The hours of practice is wasted. The fun I’m supposed to have playing this game is turned into anger and frustration when you realize your time has been royally wasted.
What do you expect to see? Just like any other race, race strategy, tire, and fuel load options.

Weekly F1 World Community Grand Prix, Japan gave no options at race start time to make my own race strategy, tire choice, or fuel load.  This is unacceptable as this is a competition event.  You have royally wasted my time this week.  This type of game error is inexcusable.  The game “assigned” me hard tires while my competitors had soft tires.  I had no idea when my pit window would be.  If you play this game you’ll know no one plays hard tires on a 19 lap race.

  • Same issue for me. Has happened every at every Community Grand Prix event so far.

  • I get exactly the same. No options for setups or strategy, my practice and qualifying are greyed out though when I go to community gp, are you able to do practice and qualifying for it?

    @Capn_Bigeye the same for me. Again, this week I could not choose a setup or race strategy in Qatar.

    To your other point, practice and qualifying takes place during the week, so you can only do it from Monday - Friday, whereas the races take place on Saturday and Sunday, that´s why you cannot qualify anymore on the weekend.

    Time for the devs to fix this or come with a explanation. 

    there are several topics for this issue. 

  • I had the same problem with the community GP in Qatar, but especially in GP mode, career and ranked multiplayer mode.

    Hey there,

    I am trying to report this issue. I see it was reported for the Community GP Japan, but you also have mentioned Qatar. Is this only happening at F1 World Community Grand Prix?

    Thanks

    @EA_Groguet for me, this is only happening in the Community GP events. When i´m on the grid, there is only one option (Press A to Start Race) and nothing else, no strategy, no setup. It´s working fine in other modes for me, but i believe other people might have this issue elsewhere too.

  • It happens in career mode as well. It happened during the sprint as well as the race.

    Still the same issue every single event. Has been the case in Qatar and COTA once again.

    Related I would guess. Many modes seem locked or incorrectly limited access to strategy.

    Also related.

    So Community Event/(Ranked) Multiplayer/My Team/Career/Coop Championship modes.
