How does the faillure settings work. Are the faillures totally random or are they affected by your drivingstyle. My Mercedes is acting like a Prost racer on a bad day and blowing up all the time. I would like if its because i am driving it to hard, and need to change the gear-settings, ridehight etc. to something a bit more conservative or I just have to pray that I won't burn.

No it's random, each team has a reliability factor, but I'm not sure whether this works for the player car as well. My McLaren has lost the transmission in 3 of the first 4 races of the championship. I've lost my motivation, but I'll come back. "Bertel Bolt-J�rgensen" <\\\[email hidden]///> wrote in message news:nRam5.63$[email hidden]... > How does the faillure settings work.

I just blew my gearbox in Brazil as i did in Melbourne. I like Seasons because you can speculate in placements and do not need to go racing like a mad man to win. But if this is going to continue i must race like crazy in the last races. Japan being a total black spot with me, this season is looking bleak.

Well, I'm not so sure it's totally random. I blew my engine the other day by revving out my gears too much, still, this may have been 'random' to an extent by using the reliability factor, but it's also worth noting that by doing donuts after about 10-15 seconds you'll blow your engine gauranteed...

If the water temp goes over 137 the engine will blow. I drove into a wall head on and just sat there with the accelerator pressed down, the temp kept going up and up, so that is not random. -- Sean Black

It appears the failures are pre-calculated prior to even starting your race. I took the pole position at Brazil. Saved my game and came back to it the next day. Started up the saved game where I had the pole, skipped the pre-race practice and headed straight for the starting line. 4 laps in (second place) my transmission goes out and Im left coasting --- too far from the pits to make it back. Curses fly but luckily this was a saved game... SO - I step into the wayback machine and set the dial for pole position. Back to the start I go. This time I have the lead going into lap four. EXACT same spot on the track my transmission fails AGAIN. Repeat - same result.

You can blow the engine by doing donuts repeatedly - so it can't all be pre-calculated. I guess that's actually pretty realistic. Some failures will "happen anyway" - e.g. manufacturer failure and some will happen as a result of your driving. -- Richard G.
