Tire and Temperature Crisis

‎I am writing this post because of the critical and absurd state of the tire system. What began as a glitch in late 2024 and dragged through 2025 has reached a breaking point with the 2026 update. Far from fixing the tire heating physics, they have made the game strategically impossible.

‎The Technical Problem: Unreal Physics

Strategic variety is dead. Currently, the Hard tire is just an ornament: according to my tests and estimated calculations, it now requires track temperatures to exceed 55°C to function (whereas before, 30-35°C or even 25°C on fast circuits was enough). It is an absurd thermal requirement that simply does not occur under normal conditions.

Evidence of System Degradation:

• Reference Circuits: In layouts like Monza, Abu Dhabi, Austria, and Bahrain—where you could previously use all four compounds because they are high-speed tracks—we are now forced to run only on Softs and Super Softs.


• Extreme Inconsistency: At Monza, even the Soft tire loses temperature in the opening laps, which defies any competitive logic. Are you telling me that to win at Monza, you can only use Super Softs?


• Contrast with Reality: In direct comparisons with real-life races under the same conditions, real drivers use the Medium compound successfully, while in iGP Manager, it’s impossible to get any heat into them. Have they actually tested the game? Do they really think this resembles real F1?

‎A History of Negligence and Censorship

‎This problem isn't new. In the past, the community proposed logical solutions, such as implementing an "ideal temperature" system in race settings (to help leagues racing at night). However, the administration's response was disastrous. Not only was the feedback ignored, but moderators mocked users and went as far as banning players for simply insisting on a legitimate complaint. This arrogant attitude is what led us to the current disaster, where even the Super Soft tire struggles to warm up at circuits like Hungary.


We will not accept responses like "wait until March" or "play on other tracks." We aren't going to abandon the game for three months or pay to choose different circuits just because the base system is broken (which is another thing: paying to change circuits...). You have completely ruined the tires and their temperatures.

‎Where is the strategy if we all have to use the same tires and pit on the same laps to win? Why don't you test the game? Anyone who plays would realize that even with two extra pit stops, you can beat someone using Mediums or Hards because this tyres they heat up. It is absurd not to notice such a massive flaw in the temperature system.

Tbh, I don’t think tires are a problem. The update changed the way tires behave and on most circuits even with 5° tires warm up. This year in Hungary I was able to use mediums, which was impossible before the update. I really don’t understand your complaint. Also in italy we used hards and mediums on a 5° cold track. The first time I wasn’t able to heat up tire properly was in spa today. It was raining a lot and the temp was 5°. But it was no issue, it changed up strategies.

For me tires are in a good state. And keep in mind, I’m talking about track with 5°. From 10° and up you’ll even overheat tires.

Edit: I play with 50% race distances, so needed compounds might vary.
