90 min race and not allowed to change all tires?

Well 0 tyres is 0 tyres, but 4 tyres means just change all the tyres.

Wonder if anyone in real life says "hell, why do I only get 18 tyres? Gimme 32 tyres so I can change 'em all!"

Maybe next time it's 4, or 8, or 6 again. Just do the same thing every time and then it's "need more tracks, too boring."

You seriously think all of the teams don't?

I'm not arguing anything here as I'm guessing I'm probably in the wrong, bearing in mind the WEC info. There was just something slightly 'weird' to me about the relatively short race with 6 tyres scenario.... Unlike Christian, I'll get over it...... ;)

Yeah - what ever. Would be more clever to use feedback from paying playerbase instead of bringing crap arguments.
6 tires is bs.

I'm a paid up season pass customer. They do have a feature request forum which democratically works.

I can see the purist side, 100% sticking to real time, rules and regulations. But the only way the endurance element can be achieved is with long races. I can see why they are playing around with this so people can get a flavour of it in a compressed fashion. Saving fuel, preserving tires is all part of the fun.

I'm pretty sure if it was just 100% real, there would be people wanting the opposite.

Could be a recent bug... I say this as there were updates to pit requests and associated tyre changes in the recent Update/Patch Build:17040965

It's not a bug, you're limited to 6 tyres and you start with 4 on the car, so can only change 2 tyres for new ones.

Well I'm assuming the teams look at the rules and then decide on how they're going to do it, rather than go into meetings and demand the rules get changed.

"Same for everyone" as they say. I don't know, maybe it's too hard to look at the session setup (fuel rate, tyre rate, tyres available) and think about what it means. As others I thought it made sense for an endurance themed game to have some strategic elements, along with driving with care for tyres (and fuel, etc) like the real drivers do.

Ah well.
 
Just change one side (either left or right) depending on which side had the most wear and it will feel like you changed 4 tires. Laptimes are barely slower than taking 4 new tires but much faster than taking no tires.
