This game has the most limited replay system of any sports racing game, that baffles me.I mean Forza 3 has full replays, but does it look inferior graphically?

Just wondering if maybe they rushed one version and not the other??

The issue is not with sector times, it's with split times not being there.

Exactly. They need to show an accumulated gap time once a lap. If they gave you race total instead of current lap then it wouldn't even matter if it was 'to the leader' bucause it would be easy enough to compare.

Yes I have used the word sector times when I have meant to use split times to the car in front and behind the car we control. Also times for each sector for the driver in front and behind you compared to your sector times every so often would be a nice touch. I love that graphic during the F1 races. This game fails big time when it comes to immersing me in what an F1 race is. Time and position on track of nearest rivals is so important in racing. Also it would be nice to use point prediction tables during critical points in the race. I love when Speed TV does that.

I'm sorry but this is just not what I was expecting after so many years I really don't see how they are gonna fix these timing issues in a first, second, or third patch.

Well I don't know, I beg to differ sundown. I think having that info on-screen doesn't immerse one anymore into the game as an F1 racer. Having that info relayed to , say a headset or your speakers when you press a button would be much more immersive in my opinion. Sorta like what Madden is doing this year with the playcalling feature they got.

I really don't know why devs aren't thinking just a tad more out the box with games. Oh well.

Anyway to change type od tires you use during the race??? I go in the pits to change from intermediate to prime tyres, and i see no option!!

I assume this is a huge bug in the game, if so any workarounds?? I noticed on the race Im on now around lap 8 or so the AI begins to pit to put on prime tyres as the track is drying out from the light rain. I go in to do the same, and like i said I have no option.

Only thing I can think of is restart the race, set the pit strategy to com/e in on lap 8 for prime tyres. Pray it doesnt start raining again or I;m screwed! Maybe set a strategy for intermediates again at lap 40 or so(56 lap race) just in case??

For now, and it SUCKS but the workaround is race a race in the rain, and remember what lap it stops raining at and AI begins to change tyres. Keep racing, and if it starts raining again etc and AI changes tyres back, write down the lap # again. Do this until you finish the race.

Then! RESTART the race again, setting pit strategies to change to the different types of tyres as needed Cuz I found out by restarting over and over, it wil stop raining at the same time each time.

If you do this, then just pray you dont wreck and have to come in or it will remember ur strategy and replacen tyres for u when u dont want them. Also, hopefull you don't have to change back in forth more than 3 times as u only get to set 3 pit strategies.

There HAS to be a ptch for this ASAP!! The game is virtually unplayable and broken when you're racing in the rain and have to change tyres during the race to compensate for weather changes.

If I am missing something(like the fact I CAN change tyres manually), let me know. Otherwise, I don't see how. Also, if anyone knows of any other way to workaround this, plz lemme know! But for now, what I'm going to have to do for this next race is what i explained.

I'll for now just race with Intermediate, tyres tho wityh strategy set to change to prime tyres at lap 8 with the rest of the field. I haven't gotten any further than that in this race. I'll stick with prime for race of the race if I can(crossing fingers). But if it rains again and I see the AI changing back to Intermediate I'll have to remember the lap #, start all over and set another strategy to go back to intermediate tyres at the lap.

Hope all this makes sense! But it's the only way I see to workaround it right now. This is all career mode btw, race #3

I don't know if you can do it once you've already pitted but before you pit , while on the track, you can bring up a sub-menu which will let your pit crew know ahead of time what you want done when you come in to pit.

Were is this?? I've hit pause and looked for something like it but I don't see it. What am I missing here?? Plz tell me ur right, if so this will save the game for me when racing in the rain!
