Penalty during qualifying?

I recently got the game and did the F2 season with no problems. I’m now on my first F1 season. I’ve qualified P1 in both of the first 2 races but both times when I go to start the race I’m P15? Am I doing something wrong? I’ve been hunting around trying to figure out why I’m starting way back there and can’t find anything. At the end of qualifying I am looking at the leaderboard and it shows me I have the fastest time. Im on PS5 if that matters.

  • @BadMayh3m I don’t think so. I’m not sure where that even is. Point me in the direction to check. I don’t think so though. I appreciate your help 😁

    @pitcrew88 At the work station you enter and across the top youll see a wrench and screwdriver click on it to see where you're at with part replacement.
    Another way to get penalties is to block other cars during qualifications but you should be getting messages about the grid penalties regardless.
  • @BadMayh3mso last night I started a different career, was careful during pre race activities, qualified P2 and started P2. Went back to the original career, was careful in pre race activities again, qualified P1 and started P1. I show no parts changed. I must have held someone up or something and didn’t notice the penalty being thrown against me. Is there a way to go back and look at those races to see if there were any incidents that gave me penalties? At this point I’m probably just gonna run the career I started last night. Just would be nice to know.

    @pitcrew88 Unfortunately you have to catch them as they happen.
    Glad you worked it out.
    This is just another reason I run one shot qualifications.
  • @pitcrew88 Yeah, you can't do it after the fact. If in doubt, just check the race director after each session (unless you're doing quick practice).
