8.2second spin in dry conditions with 0 Risks. Now your telling me thats not mental? Come on?
Check my previous race lap 32. Its insane isnt it? Or has this new grip feature got something to do with it?

Maybe your driver has issues?

3rd race in a row for me and 6th out of 8 dry races this season and I had 7-8,5" DM a few laps after pit stop.
All DM's were in absolutely CT.
Some facts: My driver last year had only one or two (at most) similar DM's. My driver is much more well trained than last season that made few DM's.
I'm OK with DM's but scheduled DM's 2 laps after last pit is far from random. To me it looks like a bug

Have you considered risks?

lol yes every race stauros is using 100/100/50 risk :P
seriously speaking as far as i check stauros pit risks are ok
imo special risks should affect dm more and except that they should affect more overtaking chances.. but i have to think it more carefully as in higher divisions risks may be the difference between a good and a bad strategy

'Owned,' as I believe the common people say.

I assume there's a variable, but I can't figure it out. I don't think it's risks, as I have run full seasons with almost no risks, with many post pit DMs.
I have had different drivers, some with better stats than others. And still I tend to have quite a few post pit DMs.
I would need to do a ton of research to try to find a correlation to anything I am doing.

I just looked at this season. Maybe 5 DMs for the season, not sure. But none immediately after a pit. I can think of one thing I have changed...but I have my doubts that's the factor.

indeed this game program is starting to wreck one by one's career..stop those random thing.or should i say give a technical problm those who really have a large possibility to have one.not a 50% gbox techprblm last race.!

I just want to make clear that what I think it must be bug, is not the number of DM's. There are a lot of reasons to have a DM and I can accept it, even if I am annoyed by it.
The bug is that for three consecutive races I have the same mistake, the same lap, with different risks/temperatures, with absolutely NO interaction with another car in the track. Looks like scheduled DM.
Seems that it has to do (among others) with warmup distance, but IF SO that means game programmers have a lot to learn about racing. Warmup distance for a tire is NOT a mistake proneness factor. Is a performance factor.
Even so a very experienced driver like mine should be able to deal with it, instead of making again and again, race after race the same mistake in the same lap.

IMO it is both. If you make the effort to count mistakes on out laps, I think you might be surprised by how often this happens in F1. Admittedly maybe fewer by the top drivers but the top drivers in this game are in Elite not Pro.
e - I will however agree with you that this type of DM seems a lot more random. For me it is just another part of the game. Frustrating but not likely to cause major problems.

Stavros ive been analysing all my past races, things seriously dont add up. Ive had experienced members basically telling me I dont know what im talking about. So im deciding to keep my mouth shut. Like you mention ive had varied risks it doesnt matter how high or how low at times I still get random DM's. The big opne this season has been the high time of DM's no matter what risks I run so it must be linked to something else, either a driver stat, tyre stat or staff/facilities etc.
If you wanna PM I can talk to you about some thoughts on it. I still agree its not the best programming however. But what do I know?
