Reliability stat importance

The amount of parts needed for race repairs has increased and I’m fine with that. Previously the amount of parts didn’t really matter at all so it’s a good thing it has been taken into account.

However, I don’t like that the amount of parts needed for race repairs has become higher than what I can produce and I can’t do anything about it. This season I maximized my reliability points and even after they are at 300, the amount of parts needed for repairs is still higher. The points put into reliability still don’t seem to make any difference.

So my suggestion is that the points put into the reliability stat should matter more and reduce more the amount parts needed for repairs

Reliability does nothing. Tested on multiple teams and accounts. 

It's just same for teams of same lvl. No matter if it's 300 reliability or 40.

Yeah, I get that the game needs to make money and I'd be happy to watch an ad or two a day to get some parts. Or increase the reliability stat, one or the other. 

Or, as I've suggested a couple of times, make it a sliding scale of how many parts to repair a car, rather than all or nothing. That would actually mirror read world F1 in a way, when cars don't have the latest spec parts because of a shortage. Here, it might be that a manager is replenishing 5-parts short per race to keep in the limit, so by the end of a 20-race season the car might only be 5 or 10% fixed. That would add some stakes.

In my 2-car league I can be using 18 parts per car per race.

I’m level 26 too and in a 2-car league with 100% race distance. I have had max 300 reliability for 2 races now:


Italy: 16+18 = 34 parts needed for repairs
Germany: 14+14 = 28 parts needed

All lvl 30 cars. Offline race in Italy today. Everyone got 20 parts wear per car.

Reliability:

-149
-140
-129
-121
-108
-90

Hi Bruce, you're in a locked league, I can't see the race length. Kev Bissell

Monaco and Hungary I think were both 12 parts per car when raced there last season. I would guess its tracks with high tyre wear that also has high parts usage.

Ah, Sorry, Kevin.. 100% length.

What's your manufacturing building level? Mine is 28, I am level 30 manager in a 100% distance with 2 car league and I produce more parts than I use. Races everyday.


I am leveling up to 29 just in case they decide to increase the wear out rate.

3rd race with max reliability was the first one where I produced more parts than repairs! Wear in Valencia was 8+8=16

But the next race, Belgium, the wear was 18+20=38 which is just ridiculous

Italy with Reliability at 70, both cars 20 parts each.

Some mod or dev should clarify this, but I think depending on track length and laps, part wear and engine wear increases.


To be fair, I think that if the factory is level 30 you do not need to spend tokens on partss, as verall you generate more than you need, although certain tracks might put you on a deficit for that race.


Extra bit, doing sprint races and finishing well does give parts. While sprint races do wear out parts, you receive more than you need and you end with a surplus.

This is false, I am using 12 Parts per car per race and generating 27. (100% race distance)
