Disqualified from race for unexplained tyre violation

Product: F1 22
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Disqualified from race for unexplained tyre violation
What is your 16 digit Report Code? VHEJ-PGSB-RKDK-XRKV
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Driver Career
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I’m not sure
What happens when the bug occurs? I and several NPC drivers are disqualified from a race for an unexplained tyre violation.
What do you expect to see? An explanation of the error or a warning in advance about what we need to do, since I followed default settings throughout.

I completed a full weekend of racing at Imola in career mode, using the default tyres at all times and making the recommended number of pit stops in the Grand Prix. On the penultimate lap, I received a message that I would need to pit again to meet the tyre requirements—something that had not been mentioned at any point leading up to it. (I had already used soft, medium and hard tyres at various stages of the weekend.) So I pitted on the penultimate lap, but the tyres that were fitted apparently did not meet the requirements either, because I was disqualified on my exit for that tyre violation. About six other drivers were also disqualified for the same violation, which is why I am wondering if this was a bug and not just user error. Other drivers who used the same tyres as I did in the race were not disqualified.

  • @jenny_a_m No problem—thanks for the response. In my case, this was not from a mid-session save (I’ve never done that). I don’t recall doing anything out of the ordinary that might have triggered it.

    Thanks for reporting to us - could those of you experiencing this tell us if this was from a mid-session save?

  • Have the same issue on PC. Everyone gets disqualified in career mode because for some reason the game isn't recognizing that we changed tire compounds during our pitstops. 

  • Having looked into it, I noticed that tyre allocations are fixed in the world championship, so I’m even more confused about why I was disqualified.
