So, this frustrating thing has been happening:
After the 1st race in my (new f12013) career, I got to Malaysia, where, as expected, the race is in wet conditions. Actually, it's so wet, that the whole race I struggle for grip and in all the pit stops I have to take wet tires.
The problem is that the wet tires wear out way too fast. I'm playing with the 50% race distance and the tires only last for 7 laps! This means that in the 28-laps race, I have to change the tires 3 times (so technically 4 sets of different tires), but because of the FIA real life regulations, and a glitch of the game, at my last pit stop I have no fresh tires left, so I have to get some old wet tires, which are completely worn out! I literally cannot finish this race without retiring. I already tried it 5 times, with different settings (also enabling ABS and traction control, hoping this will help in any way) with no results. I can't change the race distance (thanks for that Codemasters) anymore, after already starting the championship with that settings and obviously, the AI has absolutely no grip/tire problems at all!
Does this happen to you as well, or is it just my driving style?
Also, the new fuel system is driving me nuts! Even when choosing the "cautious" approach, there is not enough fuel for the whole race just driving with standard revs settings. It's extremely frustrating that the AI has no such problems, and actually can switch to maximum revs without having to slow down afterwards!
