Infinite PL5 push while not Overheating Tires

What did you try to do?
Not sure how to really explain this part. I haven't tried it personally but I know in a span of like 5 months now 3 leagues where people have been admittedly using it to never lose a race. On a mobile device you can slide your fingers back and fourth in a rapid succession from pl 5 to pl 1 and back. Its tricky however if you get the right pattern, in 3 laps time your more then 30 seconds out in front of the rest of the pack weather they got a drs train and you don't or what not.

What happened instead?
the user is unstoppable from winning or building a big enough lead in small spurts to not fall behind.

Did the problem happen while using wi-fi, mobile data, or both?
Both

Did the bug happen in the app, on PC, or both?
App

What is the model of your device?
any?

What is the operating system?
Android

What is the version number of the operating system?
i know it works with android. not sure about ios and not easily or feasible to reproduce on desktop

Can the bug be reproduced?
Yes it seems as much as the user trying it wishes to use it. I play on PC and personally tried to see if it was able to be done. Its not at least for me its not possible to click back and fourth in a smooth rotation. Used my tablet one night and in the last thirteen laps as people were complaining to me in my league about someone thought to be using it as they haven't lost a elite race since joining and have over 800 points a season... on the tablet i went from 18th 19th, 18 seconds behind

Additional comments:
to 3rd 4th, 3 seconds behind and my tires stayed optimum. This works on most tracks, obviiously the advantage is not there on tracks we are mostly pl4 or pl5 the whole race, but being its really only

How is this a bug? Good managers use push level to gain speed, normal thing imo. I only use push level 1 on straights and 5 in turns, it’s quicker but it’s not a bug

And there’s Hungary where it’s possible to just push level 5 the whole race and not overheat tyres, that’s also no bug

Not a bug, part of the proper way to play the game.
Read guides and learn a bit more ?.

Okay maybe i explained it wrong.  Its only able to be done on mobile device, and I am sure the push system wasn't ment to be used in such a way.  and I did explain that at the tracks where you have PL5 all the time its not useful.  I understand to use pl5 in turns and pl1 on straights i been around long enough and won enough races to know how.  But theres a combined total over 2000 wins between me and 4 others in my league.  Yet when this one person shows up in the same league, no one, and i mean no one can touch him. So i plainly asked one day.. dude your a  igp god how do you do it.. he explained it.. if your at russia monaco belgium suzuka it don't matter you can stay on pl5 without over heating at all by simply rubbing your finger back and fourth on PL... if it was ment to be used in that form, i think they would have made it available to PC users too. Otherwise your clearly showing favoritism to one fraction of your users.  You can't with as high tech as my gaming rig and mouse and keyboard is get this work on the pc cus you have to click or hit 2 buttions several times over to go up or down, there for breaking the methodical swipping at a set speed, if not a bug cool, however, i can attest to at least 60 other people in over 3 leagues that will argue that point or tell you at the very least its being a cheat or dirty at the very least..  I didn't put it hear for some elitest (or possible cheat) themselves to insult my intellagence and tell me to learn how to play.. i put it here for a dev to look into and decide if its a loop hole and misuse of the system and fix, or tell me they programmed it that way... in which case ill go buy a tablet and start doing for 800 points a season and be unbeatable by every other team in the game that has better stated cars then myself. by the way reading the guide tells me that the DRS train of 3 through 10 will be faster then 12 by themselves gaining 4 to 8 seconds a lap. 

Hello Skimmy,

This isn’t a bug or a loophole. Neither it’s favouritism towards mobile, you can do the same with hotkeys (1-5 keys for PL in car n1 6-0 for PL in car n2). It’s as fast or more than mobile.

Although if you think it’s that easy go and replicate it! ?

thank you for the clarification Jose. glad i stopped to inquire about it before kicking actives out of my league.  

Hello,

Recommend to your league members the hotkeys I mentioned, those ones are very useful.

To be good and fight for wins low push on the straits or in a train, max push every corner. You can gain 39 seconds easily most races you have to be very pro active. Don’t do what I do and chat and cook my tyres ?
