    After 1 year of stop i decided to try again rFactor2, i configures a practice session with the Corvette GT2 of ISI and Sepang and jumped in. 46 degrees because of the track and in the tyre choice i have only Soft and Rain...and soft is not the right choice!

    I remembered that the car had also Hard tyres and intermediate, why are not showing up. What is my mistake?

    And same thing with the Camaro but that has Mediums and Rain only!

    Thanks for the help

    The series these cars race in don't have such tyre options so for reality neither do you.

    Just tried with the same settings of Sepang the Marussia! I have the Mediums, the Hards, Intermediate, Rain...but i can't choose the Soft ones! Is this correct?

    Can someone please check? :(

    Yes this is correct. The tyres allowed are the same as those that are at the real race.

    You could try changing this in the tuning menu.

    I assume the Marussia has the same feature as the Formula ISI Masters which looks up the track you are driving and only offers the "correct" tyres to choose from, like they did in real life. Not all cars do this, depends on the modder to implement.

    As pointed out you can override that preset in the tuning menu.

    Thanks guys, yes with the tuning set i can change that with the Marussia

    But with Corvette and Camaro? The first one has only Soft/Rain and the second one have only Medium/Rain. In the Tuning menu i can't override that and maybe i am wrong but i remembere that in the demo the Corvette has Soft/Hard/Rain at Lime Rock!

    Yeah that is correct. As was mentioned those cars only have one dry compound, for Corvette it's called Soft and for Camaro Medium.

    Marussia and Formula Masters have 4 dry compounds, of which 2 are locked on most tracks as per F1 rules.
