Sprint tyre allocation not updated in the DLC

Since the C6 tyre was removed in 2026, any tracks that used them had to be updated to not include it anymore and use the C5-C3 range. This applies for the following tracks: Montreal, Imola, Monaco, and Baku.

However, if the weekend type is chosen to be a sprint weekend, the tyre allocation reverts back to the 2025 allocation of C6-C4 rather than the updated 2026 allocation of C5-C3. This can be most easily seen in career mode where the new Montreal sprint shows the allocation as C6-C4, even though the C6 shouldn't even exist.

Screenshots below show Grand Prix mode, C5-C3 tyres are correctly shown for Montreal, however if you choose the weekend structure to be Sprint and Race, when you load into the weekend the tyre allocation will update to be C6-C4 as shown in the Sprint Qualifying 1 session.

    Hey there,

    Thank you for the answer, and sorry for the inconvenience. I'll set up the status again to investigating and raise it again with the team.

    As of July 23rd, it is not fixed, it still shows the C6 C5 C4 tyre allocation for Canada when raced as a sprint weekend format. I restarted my PC, restarted steam, and verified integrity of game files and no update occurred at any point.

    To clarify the issue, in the 2026 DLC, the track select screen shows the correct tyre allocation of C5 C4 C3, however if you choose for the weekend format to be a sprint, it changes the tyre allocation back to the 2025 allocation of C6 C5 C4. The tyre allocations for all tracks were only updated for non sprint formats and need to be updated for the sprint formats as well.

    I selected the 2026 Canadian GP, ​​and for Sprint qualifying, I still have the C6 tires.

    When was this fixed? There hasn't been an update today.

    Hey there,

    Can you check if this is still happening? This should be fixed by now.
