when a car cant race and u dont have the part for it how do u retire it and only have one to race with

You can't do that, if you get into a situation whereby you don't have verified eligible parts to start a session and or race with, the game contrary to it's usual policy will allow you to install this part (that's good) however at a grossly inflated cost (not so great) , Usually said part takes time to manufacture, but this allows you to install it immediately, the huge downside though is that it will cost you triple ie X3 of the usual cost, I think you are right and you shouldn't be obligated to have to start this way and simply forfeit the start procedure,,,,,,idk maybe some fine but w/e... , but the game only allows retirements after the race starts....

The way you have to do it is to unmount or uninstall the current ie failed missing or broken part, also you have to stop any manufacturing of the part had you already started it but it;s not completed (not great as this is delaying critical development progress to boot. , otherwise nothing will happen once you have scrapped this part(s) (Gulp!) then it will let you manufacture this same part using the emergency manufacture option, (AFAIK this is the only way to progress in this situation)

One huge problem with this whole idea is this though. AS generally speaking you are only getting into this situation because: of 2 general reasons; You forgot to do it earlier; or as has been my case you couldn't afford to do it, and parts costing triple what they did is only going to have the effect of increasing the debt and the inability to manufacture meaning more emergency parts and a vicious spiral syndrome. , in truth just driving you further and further into bankruptcy.

Of course those just playing as RB with Max are not going to be bothered by this but my created worse financially strapped team at the back of the grid certainly is..
