In last night race it started as a wet race with my car having wets on for the start. It stopped raining so with three quarters of a lap to run before the pit stop I selected to go inters. I came out of the pits with a new set of Wets. So two laps later I set up to go into the pits again and this time selected Super Softs with once again plenty of warning of the tire I wanted and then selected pit in. This time instead of coming out of the pits with Super Softs on I came out with Inters on. The third time I got what I wanted which was Softs for the remainder of the race.
I went into the pits in 2nd for my first pit stop just half a second behind the leader and because of all this wrong tire being placed on my car I finished 14th. If this was for a championship it would be a crappy way to lose the championship.

Hi Ian, are you sure you changed the tyres for the correct stint? I have seen some players in the distant past change tyres for the 3rd stint, thinking it was for the 2nd, rinse and repeat.

Yes, These were not scheduled pit stops, I made the change and told the car to pit. Another manager in our race Aden, had a similar problem but not as bad as mine. Another manager when I explained to the guys while the race was going on said that it happened to them once as well last season.
So there is some problem out there that does this I guess when it is raining and then stops, and you make the change in race that causes this sometimes.
Like I said in the opening thread I don't expect anything done to that race, just thought you guys should be aware of the problem is out there, Like I said it would be a crappy way to lose a championship if this happened and you were a contender.

Alright, thanks, this will help the developers out when they are able to look into it.

One more thing, when you were changing the strategy, was it in the quick strategy tab in the driver profile or in the Strategy tab at the top of the viewer that shows the menu for both drivers on the middle of the screen?

This is quite a common problem, we had also 2-3 cases in our league last season, but somehow it only seems to happen if weather changes in a race. Last time I got this myself was several weeks ago, though. I always use the quick tabs in the drivers windows to the bottom right and left.

I've also had issues with changes not being recognised when altering my pitstop strategy mid-race. During my last race I increased the amount of fuel I was going to use for my final stint but when I came out the pits it didn't seem to record the amendment, fortunately by conserving fuel I only ran out of fuel 0.2 of a lap from the finish so I was able to roll over the finish line in 1st but it was very frustrating not being able to race as I would of liked. On other occasions, as with previous reports from numerous managers, I had issues with incorrect tyres being used after weather changes even after I had overruled the highlighted choice.

I've just had the same issue, change to wet then the car comes out the pits in mediums. Happened twice in two laps, I've now pitted 5 times in 1 race and that's gonna cost me. Cars only came 5th and 8th due to this, very dissapointing. Please fix.

It was the tab at the top of the page, where it shows the menu of both drivers in the middle of the screen.

Thanks.

Ian, Lewis, and Kenneth, I have added 15 tokens each to your accounts to apologize for the problem. I've noted each of your reports for the devs.
