In the last 2 races, my car has been retired or had a technical issue preventing a guaranteed win. No car parts had 100% wear or any other issues (last race I had a puncture and stopped completely. In the past, I have had similar experiences. Why does this occur?

Clearly this whole game and everyone playing it are part of a covert operation to ruin your Tuesdays and Fridays.
Or possibly you've just been unlucky in the last two races or your risks are too high.
No, probably the first reason.

Your teammates should be able enough to help you on that...

Vidar, there was probably not much you could do about the tyre puncture. It can happen to anyone but thankfully it's not something that occurs frequently.
As for your race at Indy, it's impossible to tell without having the data, but perhaps you had a car part that wasn't quite at 100%, but pretty close? Highly worn parts can cause trouble sometimes, they don't have to be at 100% before they break.

Thank you Jasper. You might be right but it is a first for me. It just Appears to come from nowhere and that makes it frustraiting. I guess it is time to quit this «game».

why? Rome wasn't built in a day. If you joined the game thinking it would be easy, and want a game where you can dominate a bunch of faceless souls then, sure, this isn't for you and its time to put that Xbox headset back on. I would say reconsider and give it a chance though if you want to play something where you experience genuine human competition and a superb management experience.
Everybody else here has to deal with the same frustrations as everyone else from time to time with regard to things out of your control. While this is more than annoying for sure when shit happens, personally speaking, I found down the years that the reward of the game, when you win and achieve success (even small goals), is a far greater feeling than any video game I ever played. fact.
If you give up now, you will never know why so many people who post on this forum have played for so many seasons. Its because its tough.

This is his 31st season Stuart so he's hardly a rookie or anything, if he was I wouldn't have been so flippant with my original reply. After being in the game that long he should consider himself lucky that this is the first time he's had bad luck for two races in a row.

Stuart, it's not really necessary to speak to a manager who has done 473 races as if they are new to the game and tell them to "give it a chance".
Ultimately I find it sad that someone is considering leaving a game that I find quite enjoyable, but I understand that it isn't for everybody and can respect that another player might not find the same features as enjoyable as I do.

You got that right. But I think he's "entitled"... to his own opinion. Whoops, nearly forgot that last bit!

It's in the newbie forum; one can't expect anyone there to have that much races,... Let alone make these kind of comments/ ask these kind of questions after 4-7-3 damn races... That's more than double yours, George...
To me that's being blind, deaf and dumb all at the same time while actually not being handicapped to do some research in any way!

Agree with you on that... IF someone really tried everything possible.
Which obviously isn't the case after FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE races = roughly 5-6 years IRL - and then come up with this sh*t... To them you can easily tell without a doubt to go play Mario...

Don't come up with this please... I did stop quite a long time ago and never thought about it for years before the following happened:
Wife being pregnant of 2nd kid suddenly tells to be in love with someone else. You think hormones but she instantly left... That day got me smoking again.. Can't really explain and only (ex)smokers can understand, but the sudden stress instantly got me to it again. Not proud of it and I should NOT have taken that decision... But I did... Later on it helped me when she was withholding both kids from being with their dad, the newborn in particular...

Well fair enough. Like I said I'm not proud on the decision taken back then, probably the worst ever in my life, but I do understand..

Vidar the game does not have anything against you that it also does not have against every other player in in it.
The thing is that in GPRO, nothing is guaranteed and things can happen that will change completely the results of the races, so it is a player error to believe he is entitled to any result, because of whatever advantage he might have over others.
There is probability, it is low, but it is there, and it can and will happen a number of times, it is the nature of the game and of motorsport as the great Fangio said, "Carreras, son carreras" which means that a race is only over when it is over, anything can happen in the meantime.
So the best answer would be that if anything out of your control, it is a bad luck but that's racing. If bad things keep happening everytime and it is under the areas that you can control, then you are taking too many risks in many areas of the game where your input will have a direct impact on the chance of something bad happening to you.

This was in the newbie forum. I never checked his profile (not sure why I would for a newbie). So, I don't see why I'd speak in any other way when they are supposedly new to the game, and try to encourage him to give the game another chance. If he's done 473 races and has only just had bad luck and can't figure out why he's getting it now then yeah, probably is time to stop playing.

it is called random event for a reason. it can happen any time, to anyone.
on my 2nd race ever (I think), I crashed at the start. I was probably as frustrated as you are right now but life goes on, mate.
