There was a mandatory tire change between race hard and race soft tires. If you didn't use both, you received a 1-minute penalty.

I've not looked at the requirements for the race but was there a mandatory pit stop or tyre change required? That usually adds 1 minute time penalty to your race time if you didn't do one/other...

I did a pit stop and changed tires i’ve got 2sec total penalty in the whole race but the driver behind me was 11sec behind me so i don’t get it how it works

Did you change tyre compounds or put the same type of tyres back on?

Because they increased the penalty. It's now 2 minutes for not using both compounds.

 

[Emss13]

yes 1 minute penalty became 2 minute now

Talking about which, it's actually kinda funny that PD decided to implement this change when in practice it doesn't amount to much. Those who didn't use both of the required compounds in a legitimate manner would get slapped with a 2-minute penalty, but miraculously they would still finish ahead of somebody who barely finished a lap behind the leader as he crossed the finish line the last time round, and that's even after the penalties had been taken into account. Considering that a driver like me who is ranked in low D in Driver Rating can actually complete Interlagos in a Gr.3 within 1:35 with relative ease, it just kinda encourages people to not observe the mandatory tyre compound rules when they're behind the leader by some distance just so they can be placed higher in the final classification. Probably not what PD intends, but once again, PD incompetence and thoughtlessness.
