Mandatory tyre sets rules

I would like to see perhaps maybe in 6 months or so depending on how much time you have that the mandatory set of tyres rules is implemented maybe if you are in Elite or something. This is so that it can give managers a different feel and it can also make the strategy thinking in managers explode in a good way. I know a lot of people might not want this however it's only a suggestion so oh well.

For those of you who do not know how the mandatory set of tyres in the real world work it is basically that in a race if the inters or wets aren't required, managers need to use at least 2 different slick tyres during the course of the race and this usually applies to the people that qualify in the top 10. This would also prevent the constant abuse of the hard tyres. For example if you start on the mediums, you are required to go on hards and if you start on softs, you have to go on mediums. This is because you are required to go on the next hardest compound. I would also like to say that if this is implied, if you qualify on supers, you have to go on another set of supers and also the next hardest compound which is softs to meet the requirements.

We are generally all F1 fans, or knowledgeable about F1 here. We know how the current tire rules work. While a nice idea, it doesn't work in iGP's current format.

Your tone is very condensing including giving a timeline like there us nothing else being worked on.

If you would have searched the forum you would have seen the pros and cons for doing this. Have been discussed ad nauseum

It was just really a suggestion like I said and I wasn't saying that it had to be done by then. I think probably the 6 months was that maybe they could consider it and perhaps in around 6 months time or something they could give an update on if they were gonna do it or not. Also i only included how the F1 compounds worked because some people I have talked too either got the rule wrong or they didn't know how it worked. Sorry if u got offended by it.

I really like your suggestion :), hope its implented on some point in the game.

I have seen this question asked so many times, and every time someone has to reply with the same message:

Making mandatory tyres wouldn't change anything about strategies in igp!! In fact it would make strategies worse by decreasing the amount total of strategies we can use during a race! How the hell would that improve racing or managing during races??? You're suggestions would either be too complicated to implement or too annoying to play with. I hope the developers aren't wasting their time!

I understand that you are just suggesting an idea, but people like you need to remember to check the forums to see if someone else has already asked the same question. It annoys me and many others to see the same dumb suggestion every week in the forums...

First off all don't put that on me I have been playing for almost a year and this is my 2nd team account that I am using. Why don't you also read the posts cause if you did you shall clearly see that Greg already told me about this. I didn't check because the people I was talking about the idea to didn't seem to suggest that this idea has already been presented. If you are just here to say rubbish then I suggest you just don't post on any forums that I start. It was not every week that the idea has been presented or else I would have seen it. Also mate if you are going to rant then I suggest you use the correct grammar because it 'your suggestions' not 'you're suggestions'. Get it right! This is also one of the most important reasons why I do not post that much because of this 'bull' that I get.

@Racer, try to avoid coming off as demeaning or ridiculing the idea. Don't worry too much about the same suggestions being made over and over again, I do intend to tidy up the Suggestions forum soon. Hopefully before November end.

@Xander, don't let any interaction put you off from posting in the forum any less, I'd hate to see any player post less or not at all because of it.

You need to relax buddy, because there was no "ranting" in my post. when I use exclamation marks it is not to show aggression, I use them to emphasize a point. Also I obviously saw what Greg said I am not blind. I just wanted to repeat and add on to what he said! None of what I said was rubbish, I gave you clear cut advice on what to do the next time you post and stated why I don't think your suggestion would work. The fact that I made one grammar mistake when typing is irrelevant to the argument I was making. I could say you missed a comma or used speech marks incorrectly but who cares no one here is typing an essay :D

Also I never get BS when I make suggestions, just be more careful on the forums in future and you'll be fine!

EDIT:Just saw Blunion's post and I agree fully. I apologise if you thought I was ranting lol!

Oh plz just close this irrelavant thread already

I can see where you are coming from and would like to see more realism in the game, but it's just not there at this moment in time. Weather has a say on choice of tyres but the tyre wear doesnt change to match the temperatures the wear rates remain the same. Take Bahrain for example, it has been Medium tyres ever since it came onto the F1 calender, over time they have opted to use softer tyres to try and mix things up a bit and make the race more exciting but it hasn't worked, teams adjust setups of the car to allow the same kind of thing and it results in the lowest stops possible. Here in iGP Hard tyres are used and it kills me to see it, singapore and dhabi too hard tyres are used here, it's just so untrue to motor racing.

I agree that league bosses should be able to have lots of these options. I would even experiment with tire limits, not mandate anything.

I agree with gustavo 100%

How funny is that the first one who got the rule wrong is you ? lol


This is false. Everybody needs to put at least 2 sets of different slick tyres.

This is false. You put the type of tires you want, when you want as long as at the end of the race you put at least 2 sets of different slick tyres.


I agree with that. As long as they are options, this is cool.
And I do prefer the No Refuelling option. There will be a real management of fuel during the race, with managers playing the minimal charge of fuel and others adding some liters (kilos, ok, ok.) to go agressive. And other stuffs...

We already do this in iGP champions, a rule we all play by to try get different winners, Didn't help me get my first win as I won in a wet race where the rules do not apply.

What i said wasn't wrong. I am talking about the real world not IGP. You have to use different tyres. Also I wasn't saying that the next tyres you go on needed to be the next hardest compound; I meant that in the race you were soon required to use the next hardest compound.

Shame there's no space for my first team because W.A.R is kinda too easy.

The rule of using a minimum of two compounds I understand, but that of not refueling I don't. It's supposed to be used to make the fuel management more noticeable but that would completely destroy the strategies to different stints, there would be only one winning strategy, that takes away the most fun to the game.

What it all boils down to is the setups are too static.

We need tyre pressures added to have more variations in car setups. Different tyres will not use the same pressures and different weather conditions will also not use the same pressures. No two races on the same track should ever be the same.

Another thing to mix it up a little is, we the managers should be forced to select between qualifying pace or race pace, both should have their own particular setup and not be identical. There should be an advance setup section added to the setup page where we will select between the two.
