Hey folks,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on this topic. We've shared an update on this which you can find here: Tyre Allocations - Answer HQ.
Getting this too in Driver Career. I save the mediums in practice so I can have them for the race, and then I'm only given the race set of mediums and nothing more. Please fix this. Tyre strategy is a major factor of the race and at the moment it's broken.
I've just come here to point out the same thing as the original poster.
Being locked into 4 sets soft, 1 medium and 1 hard makes alternate strategies almost impossible.
I'm not sure how hard it is to fix this problem but the user being able to choose which tyres are handed back after each practice session would solve the problem. I'm unsure of the exact rule for tyres before the race, but if you are only allowed 6 sets of slicks for the race then the teams IRL must be handing back quali softs in favour of keeping practice run mediums and hards. A simple solution might be to leave all the tyres available for us to run until just before the race start. At that point make the user select 4 sets of tyres to use with the mandatory race designated 1 medium and 1 hard sets. The user could choose 1 hard, 2 mediums and one soft if they like and have a great strategy option.
For me this fix is more important than new tracks. That is fine too but the basics should be fixed first.
