DM I believe in social media is a Direct Message, though I'm not a guru in that area

It sounds likely that you're using way too high driver risks, Paulo, I don't know how far into the troubleshoot you are but it's a common error and a possible source to the problem

The problem from my last race "the pilot did not was feeling well with the helmet and Pit" at 8 laps to finish, this is not normal, some times I have problems with High driver risks but is only one or two races not all.

Bad Luck Paulo :(
You are correct, that is not normal, & is a TRUE Random, that is out of your control.
Just put it down to experience & move on.
Seriously don't worry about it, as we all get our fair share, unfortunately.

Just keep in mind in Rookie, Risks of 40 are considered Very High, so if you are running that or higher in some races (especially with low level parts), you will cause yourself a few problems.
Smoking, Driver Mistakes, Start Accidents, & DNF's for example.

So lower your risks, & have Fun.
Good Luck :)

Should probably read PM (ie, Personal Message)
Keep in mind we are restricted with what can be said in the Forums.
So Peter is offering to help you in more detail privately, via Messages.

Paulo, try to lower your risks. Don't go over 25 in rookie. If you go over, the wear and faults are overwhelming :-)

With lvl 1 parts mostly I'd not even go 1 Clear Track Risk, I would stay with 0 risks at all even.
Risks will damage your parts more Paulo. That is why some parts fail during the race.

Paulo also keep in mind that any part that has a high wear at any point DURING the race can fail, so even if it starts at maybe 60% and you go with having risks and the part reaches 80+ there's a chance towards the middle or end of race that that part will break, and you start smoking.

How much wear each part takes is depending on the track and your Clear Track Risks mostly, on other things too but mostly those two.
So until you've figured out both how much wear each part will have on each track you should take it easy with risks, not run any at all if possible.
After that you can start figuring out how much Clear Track Risks increase that wear and as a help along the way I can tell you that parts lower than 4 take a LOT more extra wear from Clear Track Risks than parts at 4 and over, and that level 8 and 9 are, well, a trick, don't use those.

The fact that you have low money and level 1 car parts shows that you have been running with cheap parts and high risks, thus replacing parts a lot.
Also, if you have a driver with certain characteristics the high risks you use may amplify even more.

Do not demotivate Paulo, you are still at rookie and my take you another couple of seasons to improve your management, there is nothing wrong with that. Keep reading the forum and re-read the wiki and newbe guide ;)
Helped me a lot

Did you try racing with zero risks? You really shouldn't have car problems with no risks. Unless there's random technical issues, which you can't really avoid.

If it STARTS at 80% it will END the race a lot higher.

I do not start with 80%, I start mosst all races with zero problems in my car and minimize the risks to race.Most of races i have good strategy but some problem always existing in race.The probability is in 17 races without riscks I finish 3or 4 races max, is not fair.

Paulo, what you're describing is so improbable it is practically impossible.

I think you are missing something with your car wear levels.

Paulo.. don't give up.. you can do it.. do as Andrei says.. :)

My last season in rookie i used 0 risk in the first half of season, working up the car to lvl 3 and training my driver, I was nr 1 in overall from race 1-17...
In the second half of season still working on the car towards lvl 4 i started use risk 5 and then raised with 5-10 for every race..

I had a short look at your races and settings. 100% at the risks does not mean, that you are running 100% without risks. It really means, that you are driving with full risks. A short quote from the FAQ:

A little hint - in rookie even risks of 40 are considered very high.


Listen to the ppl who want to help you, they know what they are doing ;-)

I would imagine it means you are protecting your grid position? Is that a risk to you?
