Tire sets are missing in the race (especially noticeable with the M&H ones)

Hello everyone, as an example, I would like to use an online lobby with complete qualifying and a subsequent 100% race. As soon as you find yourself in the race, the strategy is significantly inf...

@TheSl4yer_v3 Yeah, there have been a couple other threads going around on this with limited response from EA/CM.

There was reply the other day that echoed the same thing they said a month ago ... "I'll pass this info to our Devs" (paraphrasing).

There are two key issues as I see it.

1. The game reserves 4 sets of Soft tires for Q1 and Q2 plus the 1 Med and 1 Hard for the race. Because the games does this, it essentially "preselects" the 6 sets of tires that get given back after practice. There's no requirement IRL that teams reserve 4 Soft tires for Q1 and Q2.

2. There's no mechanism built into the game to prompt the user to select which tires THEY wan't to give back. There needs to be menu somewhere during or after the practice sessions where YOU get to determine which tire sets you give back.

    @KVNR01 thank you for your detailed answer and point of view. In principle, we can only hope that this problem wont be forgotten.

    It is clear that Codemasters will have to fix this issue in the future!

        It's partly because the new tire rules introduced IRL couple of seasons ago. In f119 or 18 it was kinda ok, you could select different allocations, softer, harder or balanced.

        But this whole system has been kind of a mess always. Or have they fixed wet FP1 where you only use inters or wets and still end up losing 1x H and 1x M tires?

        But good thing we have Supercars now!!
