Bad pit stop every race

[Strelok]

Don't know what to do and I have to vent... This is the most stupid micromanagement that you can POSSIBLY put in a manager game...

Need tips ASAP, i'm losing precious points and I always make everything blue on that stupid crew management screen.

Pit crew management is actually easy to do but slowly growing. To have a perfect pitcrew you need 2-3 seasons to level them up and get them on top.

Here some hints and tips:
- Never ever get them exhausted, always leave a little bit room and do not even go into the "tired" window/level.
- use "balanced" for pitstop trainings, not the auto release, new tyres, old tyres, ect...
- i do always morning session fitness, afternoon session pitstop training, nothing else.
- don't train the 3 days before a reace, you want to have a fit and woke up pit crew at race weekends.
- get a good higher level sporting director.
- as said already, it's a slow process leveling up the pit crew, but all over it is an very easy task to be done every 1st of the month.

Thanks for the tips, man

Any chance to increase it using DB Editor or something? Needing 2 to 3 seasons to make these mistakes that ruin every race is really stupid, omg

Sometimes I think this game have some monkeys instead people on dev team........

Looks like its possible, this is my team specs now

What is wrong on these numbers to make my pit crew make mistakes EVERY pitstop?

You don't need 2 or 3 seasons? Just make sure the pit crew isn't weary on race day and that you have a good sporting director. That gives you around a 10% chance of making a mistake so won't cause any problems in most races.

If the only target is NOT to have mistakes during pitting than yes, a below 10% chance isn't bad at all.
My personally is also going for real fast pitstops < 2.00s (hence the 2-3 seasons to get there) and gaining the DHL pitstop award worth good prize money end of the year. Having a fast pitstop crew gives you also opportunities in choosing when to pit best. But that's of course just me

Sure, but the pitstop mistakes were OP's issue.

[Strelok]

I'm not worried about fast pit stops, I just want get rid these stupid 5s pitstops...

Still don't get what's is wrong here https://imgur.com/uno9QS3

Can't be 10% only if it happens 50% of the time or more!

1. Make sure the pit crew's fatigue rating is low on the first day of the weekend
2. Don't choose an event in your sponsor plan that will lower your pit crew fatigue

This will give you the best chance of getting through the wheel change without a failure

I figured out that change all the car parts during weekend MASSIVELY increase the error chance.

But we can't follow how much pit crew is getting tired during a weekend.

How much changes do you guys make? I change ALL parts, including ERS, engine and gearbox between FP and Qualify.

I doubt it has a big impact on the error chance, if there even is one. Once they go yellow I change the power unit components before every practice and every quali and I don't really see many errors. Maybe one or two every 2-3 races, but considering I tend to go for 2 stop strategies that's roughly the frequency you would expect with a 10% chance of failure.

I'm almost sure.

There is no other explanation. I entered race weekends with a 10% chance of error and left them with almost 30%. The only thing I do is change absolutely every part of both car (from spoilers to powertrain) during the sessions.

Also happened to read people on Reddit solving this by stopping making so many changes.

Remembering that I'm not changing only powertrain stuffs, but ALL parts to save them. Both cars.

There's no connection between new car parts and bad pit stops. There are two things to affect pit stops: the pit crews' ability and their fatigue's rating.

"But we can't follow how much pit crew is getting tired during a weekend."

Well, this is true and not true at same time. When you are in the race weekend, you can't follow your pit crew's fatigue. But just before the weekend the AI gives you a prediction, what can you expect. Of course, it can't be a 100% correct prediction, but roughly good. Theoretically it does matter how many pits you make at the race, because more pit is bigger fatigue. The best thing you can do, as I wrote earlier to start the weekend with very low fatigue's rating.

Bro, I'm absolutely sure that you wrong after 4 races.

Not only because pit errors completely stopped as soon I stop to change every part of the car between FP and Qualy, but I could confirm it on pit crew screen after race.

I'm playing F1M2023, but I doubt it have anything different in this regard.

The only test I didn't do because I think at this point is useless, is going to a race, change all parts from both cars, race and then after the race check the pit crew screen.
