Not a new topic, in fact it’s been in the bug reports since release day. The tyre allocations, and which tyres a player can take through qualifying to the race, mainly during classic weekends, needs rectifying ASAP. Admins have continuously lacked communication in regards to this. There has been 1, maybe 2 comments back from EA or CM in regards to this. I’ve even private messaged all 4 of the Admins, not one of them has had the decency to respond! Can as many people get involved with pushing EA/ CM to sort this please?

And with the tyre allocation should be upgraded tyre wear too . Only adding one more medium tyres for race are not enough for 2 stops strategy.

Wrong tyre Allocations/ no choice which tyres get returned.

@gusticlescauk This is currently the number 1 issue that needs to be address, it heavily affect us who only do 100% distance race.

@Apophis-STR 50% race also.

@Bas_Sie89 50% is a completely different problem.. Strategies just dont work out the same way if you reduce the distance by half.. Doesnt matter if ingame or IRL, if youd go with tyres wearing out twice as much but only half race length it would be almost only 1 stops IRL too..

@Meza994 Exactly, because no tire advantage could cover up the gaps you lost from an extra pitstop with the shorten race distance, one-stop became the only viable way in anything 50% or less.

But in a 50% race there could be a strategy of Soft-Hard, Medium-Hard, Hard-Medium, Hard-Soft depending on track and grid position. I instead see Medium-Hard at every track since patch 1.06 dropped.

As a starting strategy I agree. But a safety car makes other strategies more powerful. For example, if I am running a M-H strategy and get a SC or VSC early in my hard stint, I could be faster to switch to the second set of mediums. Right now, there is no choice to make if you are not close enough to finish on softs. It is boring and takes away from immersion. There are other examples but hopefully you understand, it removes the dynamic part of race strategy. Now we just set the strategy and forget it, for the most part.

@Meza994 That's not the point. Point is CM/EA taking away a two stop strategy, if you want to, because of a wrong tyre allocation which they implemented. In previous F1 games, the two-stop strategy (S/M/M) worked well on some of the circuits in 50%.
