F1 2013 why do i need more pitstops in my 2nd season

[bouncer1980]

I started my first season at williams, then went to sauber after hungary. Beat Grosjean in the last 6 races and got offer for lotus.....

First race in melbourne 25% race distance... everybody goes into the pits after 3/4 lapr whereas in my first season I completed each race with one pitstop about half way race distance (so after 7 laps or so), so did the other cars

Why is this? I need 2 or 3 stops in this way

interesting.... it sounds like the tyre wear in your first season was scaled to 50% races, but you were driving 25% right?
Now it sounds like your second season tyre wear is scaled properly.

Australia is a 2-3 stop race.

Using any mods? I think the "less tyre wear" mod stops working in the second season.

nope don't use any mods. however I had red tyres (super soft ??) in melbourne and whites as option in malaisia (malaisia i manage with 1 stop.

now i'm really confused.....
Could it be that the tyres you used at the start in Australia were really well used then?
Malaysia is a 2-3 stop race (at 100%)
