It's possible using two set of tyres, like real f1? One set soft(extrasoft or soft) and one hard(medium or hard). In this way if you make last stint of race of few lap, you can use a soft set to make fast lap. Or you can make qualify with a soft tyres and in the first pit stop change them to medium/hard. What do you think?

That would change the entire game, that wouldn't be GPRO anymore.

Personally i would love it as it would give me so many more strategies to play with. But whether it would be a good addition to the game... i don't know :)

Indeed a lot of strategies: Extra Softs for Qualifying, then starting on them and changing for the optimal compound. Or change for Xsofts on last laps. Indeed a lot of strategies.
Why bother chosing two compounds when one of them will be always Extra Softs. :|

I think almost eveyone would simply quali on extra softs then change. so why bother if it aint broken dont fix it.

There is a simple way to fix this. Use the regulations F1 used to stop this from happening. Make it compulsory to use both compounds in the race, unless rain tyres are used. :)

IF this is included it would need major changes to game system since in Real F1, xsoft aint always fastet tyre, it depends setups, driver and car so much. This of course would make this game lot, lot harder since you should know all those variabels or then you can use 4 laps of 8 for you practise laps to test, witch tyre suits best for your car...it would make this game kind...hard.
But anyway, adding these features only for highest levels could make things sense...but just lil sense since game need kind much crackking even get how things work now, and i dont mean just fuel consumption=)

First of all, let me than you for bringing up this so original idea, which no one has ever suggested before ;)
This has indeed been up a few times. Here are the main things about it:

This idea strikes me as the night soil of a very large and well-fed male ox.
Completely unneccessary and not needed at all, and please don't come with the motiven that it is more like in real F1 then, if you want play F1, find some money and start your own F1-team.
This is GPRO, and it is already more then complicated enough for the majority of the people playing this game, including myself, don't scare them off.
And most of the people ware happy with the game as it is apart from some more fine tuning here and there, no need for revolutions at the moment.
PS. a search in the forum would reveal that this issue has been discussed already a gazillion times before :)

Yes, this is that i thought :)
Extrasoft is unused the same, if you would make a first long stint, use soft or medium, but it was just a suggestion...

What is the problem to use soft,medium or hard and choose then when you make set up car? Everyone study and see the tyres consuption before make the strategy, if someone has a driver that's more good in race than in qualify, he can use soft tyres and make few lap then change it in medium/hard according to strategy and consuption. I think it's no hard to understand, isn't it?

That's a good point. F1 teams devote whole practice sessions to evaluate the difference between two different compund of tyres. And we have four compounds and only 8 practice laps.
It would be so hard, that only matematicians and computer geniouses could play this game. I seriously doubt a 14 year old could enjoy it. :|

It's more easy than what you think... Nothing difficult, only have the chance to use more than one set of tyres...

Grand Prix Racing Online is a web based motor sport management game, where you get to control and influence a racing team of your own.

Lets think about this while. You have data for 6 races, rookie with just couple points and money balance almost negative. See the facts. You probably dont know much of this game and it structure yet.
Get team and add your knowledge, you probably will notice that basic fact witch is:" more you know, more you have questions to ask"=)

This is unfair about you, even if i made only 6 race doesn't mean that i can't do something to better this game or not? I suggest and idea. No answer to your offence. Fly down mate...

F1 changed their rules several times and it is still F1, why GPRO wouldn't be GPRO after changing theirs? If it was implemented here it would be interesting for race strategies, but I'm neutral in this point.

We shouldnt use same crappy rules that f1 does.
