Ive never had a mechanical failure myself, but my engine is worn and loses horsepower almost every race.
Im a scrub and use automatic.Me too! Do you use manual shifting or automatic? I'm using manual and it got better after changing down later under braking, so that I'm not hitting the limiter that often and that hard anymore.
I haven't had any mechanical issues during career using sim damage, but I've only done a few races with it. On quick race though I lost 3rd gear once at Baku and at a race at Suzuka I lost 5th gear and as soon as it got fixed I lost 3rd gear as well.
Edit: Video of Suzuka gear loss
The AI get them. You can usually tell because they'll be crawling along. And, as someone - I think it might have been you - mentioned previously, the odds of getting a puncture increase exponentially once a tyre is worn past a certain point. It's roughly 50%, since most strategies have you coming in at around 40-45% wear, and tyre life is scaled to race distance.I know a lot of people don't like random mechanical failures, which is kind of why Codies removed the random punctures from the games, because people got really angry about it, but I love them.

Not that I've noticed.Guys they reduced the pit engineer sound?
Okay, so now that I'm World Champion, I'm trying to get the "Turning Things Around" achievement; the one that you get for going from underachieving to exceeding expectations. To do it, I've gone the full Maldonado, crashing into everyone and everything. But how do I know when I am underachieving? I tried to get it earlier by letting my rating drop down to one, but it didn't work. Is it the voicemail from Emma where the board express concerns about my performance? Or is it the confrontation in the motor home where she tells me to start pulling my weight?
Right, thanks. After four rounds, I'm plum last overall. That should be enough.Once you are below all expectations to start weekend and then move out of the red after the weekend the trophy should pop.
Yeah, I struggled to figure that out. I had the car fully developed halfway through my third season, so I just skipped practice entirely from that point on.Whats the point of collecting more research points if youvd fully upgraded?
You lose all of your saved research points and have to start over. The new car will have some parts on it already, but not everything will carry over.What happen when you switch teams...
So, now that I have won both World Championships, the game has no replay value for me. I have no desire or patience to keep playing, which is disappointing.
Previous experiences have killed online gaming for me. When I play, I want to have fun, but online, everyone takes it way too seriously.Join an online league. You'll have a blast.
I'm not fast enough.Or give Pro Career a try.
True, some leagues take this stuff WAAAAY too seriously. But if you find a nice group of people it's great. I race in two different South American leagues, one with Elite assists (no assists allowed) and one with Professional assists and both have a great group of people. Just fun, clean (usually) racing. Everyone joking on WhatsApp before and after the races. Incidents are handled in a friendly manner and the stewards are fair. I do admit it took me a while to find them, but if you find the right group it's great fun.Previous experiences have killed online gaming for me.

Yeah, neither am I. But it will only make you better. Pro Career is a huge challenge. I'm glad it's in there in case I ever want some real masochistic single player racing.I'm not fast enough.
