GT7 World Series - 2 minutes penalty - could you explain it ?

[MaxHardcr]

Hi Guys, a question. Today I race in World Series 2025 - Exhibition 2 - Round 4 (GT3 class) - Formula SF23 (screen below)
I did no Pit Stop during the race but as you can see on the screen from the race rules there was no Minimum Number of Pit Stops.
I did not hit anyone and did not get any slow-downs for penalty. Nothing.

I've finished 3rd.

But, somehow I get 2 MINUTES of penalty. I have no idea why?

Could anyone would explain this? What could be the reason of getting 2 MINUTES of penalty?

Perhaps a mandatory tyre swap that you missed?

You had to use both soft and medium tires. So while a pit stop wasn't mandatory, you did have to stop for a tire change.

Required Tyre Type: Racing RM RS ...

Thanks guys! That could be it. But could you tell me where such information can be found so I could be aware in the next races ? I'm unable to find it anywhere.

If I remember correctly, if you scrolled up the information in your image you would’ve seen a Regulations section that shows useable tires and required tires.

It's:

• In the main race overview, at the top but below number of laps, number of cars, start type, what the required cars are, and what the available tyres are
• Displayed in a blue box in the middle of the screen in the race lobby
• Shown (by way of a flashing marker on the tyre you haven't yet used) when you pit. Which, on this occasion, you wouldn't have seen because you didn't pit
• And in the first post of the GTPlanet main GTWS thread!

Here also you can easily see all rules..

GT ENG!NE / GT7 / Race Info

Gran Turismo 7 Database website

gt-engine.com

They only write « mandatory pit stop « when there is one type of tyre only but they want you pit…then not changing tyres or adding fuel.
