This game is a joke!!
Last full wet race was more than 2 seasons ago, on R8 S53!!!
Weather should be more variable, and not sunny all the time!
It jyst sucks.....

GPRO is one disappointment after another until you just become a psychotic, introvert, seething cauldron of rage

If you ever lived in the UK you would know not to bother hoping for anything where the weather is concerned. Just wake up in the morning and go with it.

lol. I don't watch anymore, obviously.
How many RL races are full wet would have probably been a better question.

Yeah. Ok. Pick a global formula, then.

Tbh, the OP has a fair point really. It's a shame the tracks don't have some kind of precipitation rating or something that increases the likelihood of rain on some over others. So, northern europe tracks having a very high precipitation and obviously tracks like Bahrain very low. It would be better I think if there was some kind of other variable...we don't often have a lot of full wet races. However, I seem to remember it not too long ago that we definitely had a season of 6 or 7 mixed weather races. Maybe it was S53! ha :)

I agree!! I live in Cambodia, it rains almost everyday. I know in South East Asia during this time of year, we have the Monsoon to contend with. Weather should be more variable, we aren't living on the Moon.

It is done randomly, using a random.org type of tool. Not sure that it is a conspiracy against you mate.

To be fair though, the races happen on 1 single day in a particular country. Even if that country sees a lot of rain annually it doesnt mean it has to rain on the day of the race. And even if it does then it doesnt mean it has to rain for the whole race.

In recent wet starts I've seen it dry up more or less within the window of parity against starting on the wrong tyres. It's like Vlad wants to make the game more interesting by messing with the weather, which to me isn't the right way to keep people on their toes.

In earlier seasons we averaged a couple of wet races and couple more variable weather races, but in the last couple of seasons there has been almost no full wet races at all.

So what we're saying is that it's never been wise to depend on wet races for driver / tyre choice and it still isn't - got it

Wow! 1982 - Interesting! Surprised you had that video on hand. Her hair looks like she's living on the Moon doing the Moonwalk. No gravity.

Exactly. All that 80's hairspray made a hole in the Ozone layer which caused global warming which means no full rain races in GPRO any more.

Haha, that sounds like as good an explanation as any.

That's the wankiest argument ever.
How many global open wheel formula races are full rain races, Bernie?
