No WET tires in career??
I'm on Spain in my career. I'm made to choose my tires for the event, choose between soft and hard. No wets on offer. A stage comes on, SS4, and it's raining. Again, no wets available anywhere. I lost half a minute to AI that's clearly on wets, as my previous stage times in the dry were competitive.

Not possible in the Juniors. Not for me, anyway.

I know, and it makes zero sense to lock basic wet weather tires behind unattainable upgrades. Can you imagine, a team in the WRC running wet stages on slicks? It's mad. How are players supposed to compete with AI, who obviously DO have wet weather tires on wet stages?

how do you know they have? all wrc juniors have identical cars, so this should mean they shouldn't have them either.

I know because it's obvious. I do a full-length rally, I have very similar stage times to the leader the entire time (still only 10 seconds between us after 7 stages), then one stage (the first in the rain) I drop 20 seconds PER SECTOR despite making no mistakes. Clearly I'm being hampered by the low grip while they are not.

Even if you were right, then again, how does that make ANY realistic sense? Driving slicks in the rain? This does not happen in the WRC. Like, you don't have to defend this game's honor as if your life depended on it. Not unless you're on their payroll. No product is worth that...

Yep, I was looking for wet tires too. Did not realize it was blocked behind unlocks. Had 3 stages about 2-4 secs faster than the rest and then a rainy stage dropped me 20 secs behind (from 1st to 11th place) because I could not set the proper tyre, lol. I guess I have to look into the carreer development options better...

Yeah this is just another bug / design problem.
From the FIA website:
"Junior WRC crews who can choose from an allocation of 18 Pirelli RA5 (hard), ten Pirelli RA7+ (soft) and eight Pirelli RWB (full wet)."

If the juniors have the option of wet tires IRL, then WRC 10 should do the same.

They've hidden it behind unlocks instead, which is a bizarre design decision. What's next, your car has only three wheels until you unlock the fourth wheel with skill points?

I think headlights should be an item you have to unlock.

Yes, very true. The Game call itself a Sim. Wet tires are the Standard Equipment from every Rallycar and LOL in this "Simualtion" you must unlock them.

In WRC 11 we must maybe even unlock the brakes or the Light trough the Skill Tree.^^

Yes, I think that's ridiculous too. You could just as well block the gasoline, the lights, or the brakes via the skill tree.

The game claims to be a simulation, but you have to unlock rain tires first. Rain tires are part of the standard equipment of a rally car.

I wonder who made this design decision. I wonder how someone can come up with such an idea. I can only shake my head.

You guys are lucky, after the recent patch all cars in career mode are locked, me and my co-driver have to run round each stage!

Stop giving EA ideas for when they get the license.
