I've had 10 car breakdowns in two days, I don't really understand
since I haven't had much since I bought GP2.  Did anyone experience
such an outburst of car breakdowns in his GP2 racing career?

I'm nearing the end of a rookie championship season (2 races left, 2
points behind Shu) and have broken down about 5 or 6 times. A tad
annoying when your 40 laps into a race and your engine lets go. I left
it failures on since it's more realistic though. There's a great GP2
utility at http://www.racesimcentral.net/
change the breakdown percentage of your car, amongst other things like
***pit color etc. As an example of the percentage, Hills Williams
percentage is at 2048, my car was at over 8000!. No wonder it breaks
down so often. I've since changed it to 2048.
The championship should now be mine :)

Yeah I had started a Championship season and my car broke down for the
first 5 races in a row in the opening laps. It broke 9 times through out
the whole season. WEIRD huh?

Not that much, but I've had one evening with about 4 blown engines in
just 3 hours.... Strange thing is that I also have weeks without any
breakdown.

So I'm not alone ;-)
What breakdowns did you have ?
I'm driving the TWR Arrows of Rosset and have had 4 transmission
breakdowns (got to the pit once and could continue) and 1 engine
problem.
Next race Spa-Francorchamps, I wonder what will be next !
Still in the lead though ;-))
