Hello Guys,

Some of you might have been aware of this for some time, while for others it's new information, but basically there is an apparent glitch/bug within the F1 2016 game that affects the severity your tyre wear throughout the race based on which tyre compound you started the race on. So for example, if you start a race on the Ultrasoft tyres and switch onto the Soft tyres later, your tyre wear on those Soft tyres will be a bit higher than if you started the race on the Supersoft tyres before switching to the Softs. In other words, the harder tyre compound you start the race on, the lower tyre wear you will have on all of your tyre stints later in the race. Video Demos are used to showcase the key info about the product and its benefits, marketing is proving to have a huge impact. The severity of the glitch varies from track to track depending on how demanding it is on the tyres, and also which tyre compounds are available. So while it has presumably been in play all season, it became more noticeable than usual in Austria due to it being a very demanding track for tyre wear, while also offering the least durable tyre compounds to use.

Thanks
