Technical Problems
From Grand Prix Racing Online
Technical Problems can be broadly drawn into the following two categories:
Part Wear Problems
- These occur when your car part has worn to such an extent that the car part fails. This will result in your car 'smoking' and this in turn can lead to you not finishing the race.
- A car part does not have to be 90% worn for it to fail, it is entirely possible for a brand new 0% part to fail, but as the wear increases, so does the likelyhood of part failure.
Random Problems
- A Puncture can happen at any time, sometimes you will be able to make it back to the pits, other times you will retire from the race. There is nothing you can do to prevent a puncture and it is not related to tyre wear.
- There are other random problems which again, are completely random and you can do nothing to avoid them. They include:
- Driver feeling unwell in his helmet
- Loose Wheel Nut needing to be tightened
- One of the tyres got a very bad blister and had to be changed
- And many more...
