I don’t know if anyone has been having this issue on the F1 races but this is game breaking for the career.

@EA_rephiiit's probably better explained here:https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Bug-Reports/F1-23-F2-Career-Mode-Unplayable-Due-To-Mandatory-Tyre-Bug/m-p/12808666#M8585I haven't tried since the new patch. I will do a race later today. @FizzyVessel74 describes it perfectly, and it is every race if you have the sprint and feature races.

@ivun3F2 and the game in general is very bugged + the game doesnt follow every rule from real life, be it F1 or F2But to give you a little insight, by the actual rules you can use whatever tyre you want whenever you want in real F2. In the game the rules usually are that you can only use 1 tyre in practice and 1 tyre in qualifying, however as F2 in the game is so badly replicated i never tested thoroughly if the tyres used in practice are returned to Pirelli.. The qualifying tyre you can definitely keep for both races.

@ivun3 Its because the tyres from qualifying and sprint can be reused in the feature race, prime from sprint makes no sense but in theory you can which is realistic

@ivun3 you say in training? in training we are obliged to use only one tire, which in this case is the hard tire, it is not possible to change it, I only used the hard one, in the average races of 35% the 5 sets of tires are 3 hard and 2 soft, one hard is used in training and then returned, in Qualy we are obliged to use only a soft tire and in Sprint we use the new soft tire, and the AI too. in Sprint we can choose the hard ones but then the other pilots go in softs and the bug happens with the AI in the feature race too

I think you didn't understand very well, but you're almost understanding. Look, there's my comment here with the photos, you can see that in the first photo I stop at Qualy (complete) with only one lap the tires were 9% I went to Sprint with the new soft tire as the game says, I can choose a tire hard to Sprint plus the AI goes from new soft to Sprint and only me from hard, finally I did the Sprint with a new soft tire it got 55% wear. I went to the feature race and the game chose the Qualy tire plus it with added damage of 41% as you can see in the fifth photo of the comment the right thing was to have 9% wear and you see in the last photo that I stopped still in feature race to put the used soft tire to see if it was the Sprint one and the Sprint tire as I put it as you can see in the last photo it has the same wear that ended the Sprint race that is the tire we used in the Sprint no gets added damage as the first strategy tire for the feature race

Tyre Wear at 100% on race starts in F2

@Stratty04 I have similar issue, but the game forces me to use tyres from sprint in the feature race. I cannot change it. I reported it but my bug report was just ignored.

Hey @Stratty04,

Thanks for your report. We've sent that to the team to take a look at it.
Did you experience the tyre wear issue in every race or only in certain situations (after a sprint race, after a race you had to DNF)?
Anything that could help us identify when this is happening for you, might help us to reproduce the issue 🙂

Thanks!

You get fuel for practice and qualifying. If you drive more than the fuel gives you, the feature race is ruined. I assume it's mandatory for f2. But I may be wrong.
I'm not an f2 driver, so I dont know.

@ivun3 The amount of fuel they give us in the game is definitely not mandatory, simply because they do more laps in one run in practice and sometimes 5 laps in a row in quali while we only get fuel for 3 ingame..

look, I was doing a run here of 35% and I think I know what happens, I calculated and marked the lap I did in qualifying (complete) of just one lap and the tire was 12% left front 13% right front 10% rear left and 11% rear right in Qualy. I did the Sprint with a new soft tire and at the end of the Sprint Race it was 62% on the front and 59% on the rear and I went to the race, when I put the soft tires on for the feature race they were 53% on the front and 50% on the rear, so I understood that the game adds 40% of damage to the tire after you use it in the Qualy (complete) regardless of how much you saved, if you finished the Qualy with the tires at 25% in the feature race it will appear with 65% spent because the game is putting 40% damage on the tire. now why that i don't know.

Hey @DRudd13,

Thanks for the link to the Bug report. I presume from reading it, the issue might be caused on race weekends with sprint races only, based on being forced on the worn tyres?

@EA_rephiiYes, it seems to be that they're getting put onto the sprint race tyres in the feature race. But after I have done 4/5 races yesterday, doing only 1 flying lap in qualifying, I don't believe it to be a bug (at least on Xbox) Because you get 2 softs and 2 hards for qualifying, sprint and feature as the practice hard gets returned. You use a set of new softs in the sprint. And your qualifying softs in the feature with your hards. And have a spare hard in case something goes wrong, and you need to pit. So to preserve your qualifying softs as much as possible, you may as well just do 1 flying lap in qualifying. Because if you're hammering them, you will have to use the least worn set in the feature race. But what @IAGOBERNARDES11 (not sure of his platform) is reporting seems odd. Maybe he can shed more light on his problems.
