Driver Numbers

Extremely disappointed to find myself back here again reporting the same issue 4 MONTHS later. Took a break to let the game smooth out only to return to see the the same, simple issue I brought up 4 months ago still exists. This being drivers (specifically f2 drivers) having the same number as current drivers on the grid thus creating duplicate number out on track in career mode 

This not only utterly destroys the sense of immersion, it feels like a slap in the face that this very simple issue has been evidently ignored repeatedly through the course of multiple updates. This could be corrected by simply applying a set number to each f2 driver that isnt being used by a active f1 driver like whats currently in place currently where f2 drivers keep there f2 number. Alternatively by allowing players to just set the number of incoming f2 drivers this could be avoided

This bug shouldn't still exist, its been brought up several times in the past 4 months by several different posters and even acknowledged as a known issue

    I understand the licensing issue with regards to a driver already being represented by a certain number in F1 but with an F2 driver who doesnt have an offical number in the top series wouldn't them using their F2 number that's already being used by a current driver in F1 be an issues. For instance if you select Jak Crawford he uses the number 7 but so does Jack Doohan. Additionally Enzo Fittapaldi used the number 67 as my second driver but that number isnt his offical F2 number (it could be his F1 number and im just unaware) which also led me to the conclusion that it was a Glitch/Bug. Thank you for the response though, I wasn't aware of that and appreciate you letting me know. 

  • It hasn't been addressed because it's not a bug, it's a licensing issue. The agreement between EA and the FOM requires drivers to be represented by the number they use in real life, so they can't just be assigned a different number.
