This is 100% truth. I have reloaded sessions before getting the same results. It’s almost as if the game has punished me for finishing well “above my station” in the 1st race…Fellow conspiracy theorists, you guys are going to love this…
So angered by the situation in my original post, I binned and restarted MyTeam season.
Race 1, Bahrain, I qualify 14th. Out of the first corner I am up into 8th 😎. The game starts doing all it’s weird things; drivers up ahead of me squabbling for position in corners (and slowing right down, mid-corner just as I’m behind for example). Loads of yellow flags as I get close to overtaking positions etc etc.
I am super good on my tyres. 50% race, and in Bahrain I can do S-M, everyone else doing M-H. Around lap 6, 4 laps before my pit window, SC comes out. I immediately pit for H tyre. Up into 4th after it all settles.
Game realises it needs to hamper me, and the quicker cars are catching up behind. Lap 12 - My DRS fails..
Luckily, I know exactly where and how to defend in Bahrain. Game throws a hissy fit, more yellow flags and another SC comes out around lap 18. I stay out. This time I’m up into 2nd. Overtake Russell for 1st on restart 😎
I manage to keep everyone behind until about lap 22 - another DRS failure hits me…Luckily I still have enough ERS to defend, and I just about manage. DRS gets fixed 2 laps later.
VER behind is all over me, and I have to resort to playing chicken with DRS zones, just letting him get ahead into them but not enough so I can overtake again with DRS. Enough of a time cushion with the drivers behind him to not worry about them for the moment.
Manage to keep this up until lap 28 of 29. All of the top 3 behind are directly behind me on track now. I Manage to defend most of them but VER gets past into turn 4. RUS and LEC still squabbling for 3rd for the remainder of the lap, slowing them down just enough so I can manage to hold on to 2nd, JUST…Cannot wait for the DNF’s destined for me because of this this result 😂
As Charles would say “Let’s Goooooooooo” 😎
🖖🏽
TLDR; game chucks loads of obstacles at me when I’m “above my station” in the race
Going to throw this in there, but having such an event filled race where you are pushed to make snap decisions and defending like a lion sounds like a helluva lot of fun!
In a way I understand some of the developers decisions, it's just the level as to how far the script goes to keep it "entertaining". Just be glad that it's not Nintendo, Mario Kart and the blue shell. The is the worst.
