This game does not like you being “out of position”

Hey guys, This game really doesn’t like it when you’re “out of position” does it?  I have loads of examples of when I’m “out of position” in a positive sense, and something weird happens that is ju...

Race: DC for Haas, rainy Miami:

* started 10th on grid, climbed up to 7th after two laps

* engineer called to stop the car in lap 5, just after VSC finished

* DNF due to mechanical failure

* but no DNF for me listed in Race Director's Incidents tab !! (Ocon was listed as another DNF, also mechanical failure)

* and no failed engine component after race !!

Come on, it's not "challenging", it's just cheating ☹️

I’ve actually given up on Career Mode now.

Fifth season with Aston Martin after four seasons of struggle, regulation change meant my car was equal to the top teams but come the practice sessions I’m still struggling to match the required times and having to drop the difficulty. Qualifying is the same story, Pastori is now faster than me and again I’m dropping the AI level just to compete.

I started a Grand Prix featuring 19-races, set the AI to my usual 90 and didn’t adjust it once, I just won the Championship by over 150pts. I was winning some races by over 30s and didn’t finish outside of the top two at any race. Even Hungary and Spain, which were real struggles in Career Mode, seemed much more level in Grand Prix mode. I’m now going to do this again but with the AI set to 95%.

I’ve now realised there is little point in Career mode;

  • Constantly having to change AI setting depending on track. (I was having to adjust AI level 80 at some races just to compete).  
  • Constantly having to change tyre temperature settings depending on weather
  • Wet races being impossible
  • Boring and unachievable practice times (I know I don’t have to do these but I use this time to adjust to the new track)
  • Super aggressive AI
  • Excessive DNF’s for mechanical issues
  • The whole car development model is pretty boring, brake upgrades are pointless but work better for the AI.

I just wish they would change Grand Prix mode slightly, let us use our own name and avatar for the races and turn mechanical failures on or off for both AI and human players.
