The 'failure rate' setting that you set up for the team (in the same
menu as qual and race bhp in the editors I have seen) seems to affect
the player team as well, both cars. I remember starting a new 1996
season in which I wanted to play a Minardi-type new team, and gave my
team the same failure rate. My first 4 races ended with 2 engine and
one suspension failure, with my team-mate scoring 2 DNFs. I got really
bored after I had to haul my car through the whole straight line back
to the pits in Canada on 3 wheels (I've been leading the race).
I got back into the editor, gave my team the Williams failure rate,
saved in both the f1gstate and gp2.exe files to make sure, and voila:
I ran something like four races without a hitch (I started a new
season afterwards). I've been running 100% length races, the program
might have been using this to decide before the race whether or not my
car will fail.
