1 hard in fp3

tight sinew
#

Yeah 1 hard in fp3 with like a 30 lap run plan and put drivers on conserve is just easy farming track acclimatisation

gritty wyvern
#

im gonna go aston next play through

#

and fucking fire stroll

tight sinew
#

Lmao I’d actually rate going Aston

gritty wyvern
#

thats how much he has fucked me this season

tight sinew
#

Or Haas/Williams

strong hatch
gritty wyvern
#

go aston and get alonso vettel wdc and wcc

tight sinew
#

I hope they tweak driver xp

#

Seems whack that academy drivers take so long to be better than even Latifi

gritty wyvern
#

HappyFren 100% on all with 20 minutes left in fp3

tight sinew
#

Maybe I go Haas and can finally fulfil the rockstar dream

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

I just had the worst race ever in spa and I have an unskippable cutscene of my team celebrating?

#

are they taking the PISS

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

start of season it says

#

red bull engine sick deal

tight sinew
#

Yeah I want red bull engine for my second season

#

The vote to increase number of power train parts also passed so durability is less of a concern

versed mantle
#

erhm

#

I might be fucked here

#

I am down a chassis

#

the chassis wont be done until saturday

#

I guess I can just cancel that manufacture and do an instant one

gritty wyvern
#

i had 3 votes 1 to lower budget cap to 132 which passed, 1 to add double points to last race which failed and 1 to make engine cooling harder

#

bro what

#

alonso p2 for brazil

tight sinew
#

Chadlonso

gritty wyvern
tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

good first lap from checo

#

p5 to p20

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

ran wide

#

then just sat off track

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

t6 on brzail

#

everyone is running wide

#

ricc just punted norris

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

he lost the punt too

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

Wtf is brazil

tight sinew
#

Jesus

versed mantle
#

lmao

#

love a quali where it starts raining 5 min in

#

and the dumbass AI doesnt do immediate dry laps

#

easiest Q2 of my life

gritty wyvern
#

yeah its not 100% yet

#

I love having gp as the engineer

#

every overtake

#

simply lovely

gritty wyvern
#

good way to end the year merc

#

first season done

#

alfa and alpine pumped

versed mantle
#

nice

#

p5 in monza

#

zhou p4 somehow kekw

#

pitted early under safety car

#

long hard stint

gritty wyvern
#

now thats pog

versed mantle
#

goal for season is 8th

#

literally 2 points away from 7th

#

lets keep it up

#

oh my god

#

ocon is a fucking steal

wise flint
#

Can you tell im using giovinazzi to hold everyone up in quali?

#

It fucking worked

gritty wyvern
#

there cleaner

#

vettel back at rb

versed mantle
#

ez p7 for stroll

#

p7 in constructors now

#

bit of a streak lately

gritty wyvern
#

2 things i think would be nice qol time goes to 1x when a car goes into the pitlane in practice

#

and when the reconfig is done

gritty wyvern
#

I wonder if im messing up putting it into the calc

#

but im getting way more errors is season 2

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

Got a perfect call to wets

#

had a 35 second gap

#

safety car comes out

versed mantle
#

man

#

shits intense when every point matters

#

Not terribly far off making my long term objective on first season

tight sinew
#

wanted to rp as Ferrari but u can only do up to strategy E

#

wtf this just got passed

#

also new updates

wise flint
wise flint
#

That points change is disgusting LMFAO

tight sinew
#

so fkn much

eager thunder
#

we in silverstone now

#

haas is about tot preform biggeest coemback this year

eager thunder
eager thunder
#

magnus kevin stuff

tight sinew
#

wtf

#

and its only fp1

eager thunder
#

CAN YOU

#

STOP

#

CRASHING

#

EVERY

#

FUCKING

#

RACE

#

PLEASE

#

@tight sinew

tight sinew
eager thunder
#

idk yet

#

ffs

tight sinew
tight sinew
# eager thunder

looks like ur gonna have to make a whole different car for final race lmao

eager thunder
#

kevin has crashed past 3-4 races

versed mantle
#

literally just do the longest term upgrades in the universe to land for abu dhabi

#

and get 87 points in one race

eager thunder
versed mantle
#

vettel retires on 2nd last lap from a crash

#

from p7

#

👌

#

lit.

eager thunder
#

I already had to take a grid pen

#

Cause Kevin keeps crashing the engines

versed mantle
#

brazil in my save

#

is fucking impossible

versed mantle
#

so seems to me that research does very little for the current year

#

but gigaslaps next year

#

which makes sense

versed mantle
#

engine choice difficult tbh

#

like you can interpret it both ways

wise flint
#

Have to go red bull surely?

#

Power just looks too big

versed mantle
#

I went renault

#

power is irrelevant if it starts dropping at 85% durability

#

that's like

#

2 sessions lul

#

renault is also giga cheap

#

however

#

I fucked up majorly, so learn from my mistake: I had so little money starting the new season that I totally wasted my first ATR period, and could do no development pre-season

#

I was 3 mill minus, needed 2 mill or so to design

#

that was REALLY bad

wise flint
#

Why do I feel that threshold bar is deceiving

versed mantle
#

its pretty straightforward

#

at 75% durability you start losing power with renault. versus 85% for red bull. and renault also wears slower

#

and you gain 10mill which is huge since its hard to even reach the budget gap with aston at least

#

5mill in this case ig

wise flint
#

As in the bar being larger with lower engine wear before power loss just doesn’t read right to me

#

Just looks jarring

#

Almost like it should just be the number and not the bar

versed mantle
#

wear resistance = higher means more resistant to wear = slower wear

#

power loss threshold = obvious

wise flint
#

Power loss is what I meant sorry

versed mantle
#

btw I replaced stroll with bottas

wise flint
#

The bar being there just doesn’t look right to me

#

I can read it find but just looks weird to me

versed mantle
#

now I have a solid, old driver pairing for 2023, while I bring up vesti

#

let 2023 begin

wise flint
#

Vettel and bottas the battle of the fogies

#

You finished s1 then?

versed mantle
#

ye

#

p9, 1 point behind p8 goal.. but whatever

#

its all about 2023

#

#nextyear

#

I already have grid's best low speed

#

lacking in the straight line department, thats what I wanted to work on preseason

#

think ill run vesti in FP1 every race instead of vettel, since vettel can easily get max setup

#

bottas bit slower as he needs race engineer affinity to build

versed mantle
#

easy Q3 for bottas

#

P6 on the grid!

versed mantle
#

sending the boys out on intermediates in FP3 to get my last track acclimatisation without using dries i need for quali

#

Q3 team problems

eager thunder
#

I got the board very happy with me wicked

#

not p6 yet tho

#

why is kevin spinning and crashin g every race

versed mantle
#

boys im a moron

#

I havent been using old engines for practice

#

😩

#

CLOWNING

versed mantle
#

FIRST PODIUM BOYS

#

p3 bottas p7 vettel

#

in miami 2023

#

p4 constructors now

#

from p18 on the grid or so

tight sinew
#

Bottas is nutty Ngl

versed mantle
#

hes wicked fast but he doesnt make hero starts like vettel

#

low aggression vs high i guess

#

also

#

that podium was from fucking

#

p16

#

no safety car shenanigans

#

raw pace

#

I mean good pit timing by me but basically it was all him

#

madman

#

man

#

saving engine/ERS/gearbox for race

#

is such an obvious move

#

with huge yields

#

do it everyone

versed mantle
#

AND ASTON MARTIN WINS THE SPANISH GRAND PRIX

tight sinew
#

holy shit

#

Azor is gaming

strong hatch
#

he did it

versed mantle
#

P3 in constructors

#

and believe it or not

#

board confidence is still low

tight sinew
#

wtf lmao

#

isn't season target like 8th

versed mantle
#

6th for the second season

#

in my case

tight sinew
#

bruh

versed mantle
#

and I have a rear wing upgrade inc to fix my car's main weakness

gritty wyvern
#

No power at house

#

I wanna race

versed mantle
#

p4 and p8 in monaco quali

#

hard strategy almost as fast as soft

#

lets pray for safety car and get a 1-2 ez

tight sinew
#

Jesus Azor is flying

versed mantle
#

bottas locked up, went from p3 to p12 😔

#

still 50+ laps to go

tight sinew
#

How much research did you do the previous season for each part

versed mantle
#

I didnt understand it properly but I did a fuckton of underfloor and front wing research since they seemed to give best downforce yields per CFD hour

#

and everything was changing for next season anyway

#

p6 and p8 in monaco but I got fastest lap at least..

#

comfortable p3 in constructors now

#

solidifying

eager thunder
eager thunder
#

sained crashed

eager thunder
#

i think im fucked

tight sinew
#

Bro the board confidence is high

#

Ur fine

eager thunder
#

Like Im having hard time getting points cause kevin keeps crashing

tight sinew
#

Surely find a replacement

#

Yoink someone like Bottas or Albon

eager thunder
#

idk maybe I should

#

I like kevin though 😒

#

@tight sinewwe have a issue here

tight sinew
#

you have a brand new one

#

cop the penalty and use GB-4 for fp

eager thunder
#

yea i made a misstake

#

i didnt think of using old pu during fp

#

new front wing is pretty pog

versed mantle
#

Remember to use old engine and gearbox stuff for practice

#

Far fewer penalties in the long run and far higher average race performance

eager thunder
#

yeaaa

#

i didnt even think of that

#

i mean my cars arent that bad

#

@tight sinew magnus crashed again

tight sinew
#

time to cut him bro

eager thunder
#

think he alone has made me spent 10m on spare parts

#

need to pay him out first tho Sadge

#

I'll finish this season after that I'll think about a replacement

eager thunder
#

AGAIN

#

PLEASE STOP CRASHING

#

@tight sinew

wise flint
#

You sacked mick for less

eager thunder
#

atlest oscar is scoring pts kekW

neon belfry
#

switch him immediately

#

the only reason i keep sainz is his expensive asf to replace

versed mantle
#

in the long term its all about developing young drivers because they're basically fuckin free

#

currently, having vettel and bottas, is fucking me a bit economically

#

like im staying afloat but there are many things I wish I could do more easily

#

like facility development..

eager thunder
versed mantle
#

damn the calculator is getting good

#

baku preset was 100% confidence instantly lul

#

literally just sitting out fp3

versed mantle
#

gapping

tight sinew
#

Oh damn

versed mantle
#

make sure they dont go sub-20% midpractice, cuz that makes them unusable entirely

#

and they take like 40 billion minutes to replace during practice WOAW

neon belfry
#

damn that aston in ur hands is shredding

versed mantle
#

🏎️

#

not satisfied until double champion tho

versed mantle
#

have you guys EVER

#

experienced overheating

#

of ANYTHING

wise flint
#

Nope

#

pretty sure its bugged or doesnt work properly

#

pretty sure tyre temps on affect degredation too

neon belfry
#

my tyres tend to get hot

#

didnt really see anything wrong happening tho

wise flint
#

Yeah don't see any reason to not FULL send tyres tbh

#

I tend to get more crashes/spins at 3 dots than 5

versed mantle
#

gragh

#

was within DRS of the lead for like 15 laps

wise flint
#

Man its so nice to see aston that high

#

Their logo and brand colour is so sexy

#

Just sucks theyre ran by donkeys

versed mantle
wise flint
#

lawrence stroll has blood on his hands

versed mantle
#

btw game has been super stable for me unlike the regular F1 games

#

just rock solid

#

settings good, looks good

#

chaotic austria

#

two red flags

#

one involving one of my cars but no damage

#

can win this..

#

ASTON MARTIN WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS IN AUSTRIAAAAAAAAAA

#

WAIT WHAT

#

EXCUSE ME

#

okay friends

#

I am VERY confused rn

#

I won right

#

except somehow I got 2nd place and lewis lapped everyone?

#

WHY DID IT COUNT AN EXTRA LAP FOR LEWIS

#

HOW CAN HE BE THIS BLESSED

#

I JUST GOT FUCKING ROBBED

#

what a bug

#

he managed 72 laps in a 71-lap race

#

incredible

#

he's just above and beyond

#

I'm pissed

#

I won

#

this matters for constructors too

#

oh god

#

they passed the new scoring system like dabbi

neon belfry
#

must've been a hell of a hammer time

versed mantle
#

still pissed about that

#

a bug in a video game

#

imagine how lewis felt after abu dhabi

#

im 3rd in constructors, winning races, getting podiums

#

but my car performance is on average like.. sub-10th

tight sinew
#

lol wtf

versed mantle
#

I guess my strategy is just that good. pepeSip

tight sinew
gentle charm
#

Don't expect the AI to be good in the first iteration.

#

AI hates double stacking the pitlane which makes wet weather changes very lucrative for points

wise flint
#

First wet race half did half didnt

#

But tbh most of the time they don't double stack the first car comes in before the crossover for me and the second just after

gentle charm
#

Yeah taht's because the AI doesn't know how to manage a gap for safety car/weather changes for a same-lap pitstop

wise flint
#

the blunder happens for me when they pit for inters when wets are 3 laps later

#

not the double stack

gentle charm
#

Yeah inters are pretty useless

#

unless it stops raining

#

There's a lot of sim elements that are badly balanced

#

also Monaco Track temp was 50C and Air temp was 20C

#

wtf

wise flint
#

You can also INT everyones laps at monaco

#

but going full conserve and no ers

#

since they cant overtake you in quali

#

and you wont get a penalty

versed mantle
#

btw im making a sheet y'all might find useful

#

which just enumerates the strong parameters on each track

#

so you know what's actually best to target development wise over a season

wise flint
#

Do we know if race fixtures change at all in following seasons

#

e.g. start with bahrain etc etc if that stays the same?

gentle charm
versed mantle
#

limabeans you are so fucking ignorant sometimes, never change

gentle charm
#

but this can be helpful to see what tracks merit the most of car development so you can focus in covering less weaknesses

versed mantle
#

Not the best formatting but at the bottom you can see the parameters with the most "points" over the season, where 1 is recommended and 2 is crucial

#

Basically cornering stats are far, far, far outweighing anything top speed/accel related

gentle charm
#

and if you had let me finish, we were actually on the same page with the end idea that we could see what we should maintain the most in development and what would be ignored due to least-to-gain

versed mantle
#

And that reflects in my performance since I went all in on downforce in my research and design and am somehow 3rd in constructors even though my stats are indicating I should be 5th-7th

gentle charm
#

I presume the '2' is higher of the stats and not the 2nd best stat?

wise flint
#

Just found a google docs with each teams Staff and drivers and their respective salarys etc etc

#

Dunno if I would use this one though as this kinda feels cheaty

versed mantle
#

Like I wrote, 1 indicates the stat is recommended for the track, while 2 indicates crucial

tight sinew
#

but I checked the Williams one

wise flint
versed mantle
#

so

1-0-1-2-0-1-0-1-2-0-0-0

tight sinew
#

and I only have Albon left

#

the rest have been replaced

#

I'm like 4 races in

versed mantle
#

this is a good sheet though I feel it's lowkey cheating?

#

in a way that the calculator is not

gentle charm
#

Not entirely, you've just done admin work for information that was already available and put it onto a spreadsheet. 🤷‍♂️

versed mantle
#

I mean the salary sheet

#

like if you did the math by hand you could do what the setup calculator does by yourself, but this information is unknowable without the sheet

#

but the info in the salary sheet is meant to be locked behind scouting

#

I mean its a single player game do whatever you want

#

but I dont like the idea of using it myself

wise flint
#

Yeah salary sheet defo feels cheating

#

But left it there for if someone wants to use it

versed mantle
#

ye

wise flint
#

I wont touch it

versed mantle
#

not like I need anyone else, bottas is the best driver on the grid that is interested in me

#

and he's only like 3 points behind the maxes and lewises

#

and my staff/engineers are borderline best on grid

#

prolly flatters my car too

wise flint
#

Oh shit I didn't realise that calculator now has presets for each track

#

LMFAO

versed mantle
#

ye it does

#

I've had it go 100%

#

on the preset setup

#

you can now pretty reliably get 100% during FP1

#

spend FP2 and FP3 getting track acclima and then just park the cars to save engine

#

guy who makes it is ultra baseed

tight sinew
#

legit

tight sinew
#

stole a bunch of Aston staff lol

wise flint
#

@tight sinew

versed mantle
gentle charm
#

Found the graphic settings btw;

#

can maybe move the race ui around now

versed mantle
#

hm

#

my end goal is to have two danish drivers

#

I got vesti as reserve rn, magnussen could potentially replace vettel

#

but I'd wanna know what kevin's growth potential is

gentle charm
#

DesiredScreenHeight=720 LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=1280 LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=720

#

Yikes

versed mantle
#

@eager thunder you wanna sneak me that knowledge?

#

what is kmag's growth potential

#

in multiplier (seen after each race/practice iirc)

eager thunder
#

lemme go and check 1 sec

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

wonder if its possible to have 100 maxed out drivers

eager thunder
#

if I can recall it was like less than 1x

versed mantle
#

sadge

eager thunder
#

ill dubble check in next gp

versed mantle
#

what's with this game sucking jehan deruvala's cock btw

#

he's in F22 and he's like 77 rating

eager thunder
#

Just a fair warning

#

Kevin

#

has binned it for me atlest

#

a lot

versed mantle
#

even though he's P8 in the F2 championship IRL

eager thunder
#

@versed mantle im soon at race day and let u know once I finish ther ace

eager thunder
tight sinew
#

or 2 separate incidents

eager thunder
#

Both tbh

#

both drove like fucking idiots

#

but more pia

#

half grid using m on 2-3 mm rain

tight sinew
#

time for u to sneak into the points

eager thunder
#

not bad

#

mag gonna crash any minute now

wise flint
#

Ooooooo

#

Players found tyre values

#

and drs values

tight sinew
#

drs seems overtuned asf

wise flint
#

DRS current gives you ||65% boost to acceleration||
Tyre temps ||only affects degredation which in turn slightly affects grip||
And the image shows durability fo the tyres

#

Seems some features are also missing from the game currently such as: ||Driver rivalries with special rivalry events, Driver traits and staff traints||

eager thunder
#

thats so cool

#

the nerds are alive in this game now wicked

#

we can get the meta setuups

wise flint
#

Yeah theyre can already mod the game

#

although there is no official mod support

eager thunder
#

can they mod a clown on ferrari please?

wise flint
#

Also ai behaviour, ||They all use the same, tyre, fuel and ers settings and it doesnt change||

eager thunder
#

@versed mantle

#

yea pretty much 1x

#

I think im doing okay-ish @wise flint

wise flint
#

More than fine

eager thunder
#

im not going p6 this season though

tight sinew
#

my goal is p9

#

idk what happens if both me and Aston both don't get points tho

#

@wise flint I'm so tempted to drop Albon rn and complete the reshuffle

#

he's doing worse than Oscar basically every race

wise flint
#

Albans a good driver tbh

tight sinew
#

ye

#

but idk

#

just not doing well

wise flint
#

Brother

#

You’re in a Williams

#

Set expectations KEKW

tight sinew
#

yeah but he's losing to a rookie

versed mantle
#

at least thats how it works irl

#

vettel and spinning from great positions

#

name a more iconic duo

#

meanwhile bottas fucking leading

tight sinew
#

bottas a damn chad

versed mantle
#

vettel is inting my constructors p3 man

tight sinew
#

damn Merc on ur ass

versed mantle
#

slightly rocky start but going well rn

wise flint
#

F1 manager discord has devolved into people having fun and discussing their saves

#

and a bunch of people shitting on it and calling bugs out

#

Also for anyone that knew there was a research cheese where if you slammed all sliders to the right it would make a giga car when researching for next year even with 0 aero testing

#

that has been fixed

#

so don't do that now

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

forgot to swap engine/ERS/gearbox in quali. exasperatedPepe

#

12th and 17th

#

we recover in race np

eager thunder
#

Bugs

#

Would never happen

versed mantle
#

bottas just retired from p4

#

on the last lap

#

..

tight sinew
tight sinew
versed mantle
#

I dont know

#

just

#

out

tight sinew
#

Wasn’t fuel was it

versed mantle
#

I can't tell

#

I was hovering at 0.0

eager thunder
wise flint
#

Ran out of fuel im guessing

#

aarava literall crossed the finish line in his youtube video and ran out of fuel a metre over it

versed mantle
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

BOTTAS STOP SPINNING

eager thunder
#

😭

versed mantle
#

fucking HELL

eager thunder
#

😭

#

I had Kevin int half season

tight sinew
#

@wise flint its official

#

I cleaned house completely

wise flint
#

Think thats my next goal after monaco

eager thunder
#

what did udo

wise flint
#

He fires all williams staff

#

replace latifi

eager thunder
wise flint
#

and have you replaced albon? @tight sinew

eager thunder
#

GOAT

#

tho

tight sinew
#

he was the last one standing

#

got sick of him getting hard fucked by Piastri every race

eager thunder
#

is keeping the board happy ur main prio over the season goal

#

cause I'd assume the board is prio 1

tight sinew
#

well the board can fire u

eager thunder
#

CAUSE Im not hitting p6 this season

#

im like 20 pts behinde

gritty wyvern
#

checo is out

#

losing to max on average a pitstop

versed mantle
#

just like IRL then

gritty wyvern
#

imola he spun twice

wise flint
#

Just had my first ever red flag

#

In fp1

#

cause vettel crashed ...

versed mantle
#

you're williams right

wise flint
#

Yeah

#

Dude inting my practice run with piastri

#

couldnt get any track time with him

gritty wyvern
#

who should i get to replace checo

tight sinew
#

bottas

#

or actually

gritty wyvern
tight sinew
#

you can get like any top driver

#

get Charles

gritty wyvern
#

lets see how much that would actually cost

wise flint
#

LMFAOOOO

#

Vettel crashed in Fp1

#

and still got fastest lap

#

with the aston

versed mantle
#

man dont buy expensive drivers just train em up

#

unless you need to meet some goal and are struggling

#

like

#

Bottas is GREAT

#

for me

#

but man hes expensive

#

and its fucking me a bit

tight sinew
#

bro Bottas was so expensive

#

no shot I'm able to afford him

versed mantle
#

I am barely breaking even each week

tight sinew
#

I got gasly on the cheap

gritty wyvern
#

whats fucking me atm as RB is i upgraded all my facilities

versed mantle
#

and with all the refurbs I have to do

#

and research/development

gritty wyvern
#

now i have to pay lik 30 mil in refurbish

versed mantle
#

I have NO shot at upgrading facilities

tight sinew
#

how much do u pay ur drivers Azor

gritty wyvern
#

if max wins i have to pay 3.5mil

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

idk I think both their salaries are well above the double digit millions

gritty wyvern
#

fucking

#

checo isnt in the run for team orders

gritty wyvern
#

the ol' sandbaggy

wise flint
#

Lap 4 @tight sinew

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

we built a fucking rocket

wise flint
#

Having my best race without a safety car

#

and albon crahses into giovinazzi

#

and fucks everything up

gritty wyvern
tight sinew
#

So I got rid of him for Gasly lmao

wise flint

Had 1 safety car but I was already p6

gritty wyvern

alright not good at wow today

#

lets play f1 manager

versed mantle
versed mantle

so much minmaxing im not doing properly with timing of development and research etc

wise flint

Oh new information

#

do not waste money on a rushed reserach or development

#

The value in the the database people have found is exactly the same as normal

versed mantle
#

you mean intense?

wise flint
#

Thats the one

#

Couldnt remember the exact name

#

just remember reading it this morning

versed mantle
#

can you link this? find it hard to believe they'd fuck that up

#

sad if true

wise flint
#

Oh trust me

#

alot is fucked

#

but im still having fun

#

Ill see if I can grab it

#

alot of it is on their reddit

versed mantle
#

been trying to avoid discords and reddits, just doing my own thing

#

but ofc if things are broken thats good to know..

wise flint
#

Yeah theres quite a few things that don't work as they should but doesnt change my perception of the game

#

and still enjoy it for what its worth

#

Spoilered the image for people who don't want to know the exact values

#

I imagine alot these things will get changed/fixed over the next few months

#

I think it's good to check things and see how they work but also understand it's a first iteration of a game series and it didn't even get a betta

#

But sorry I got it the wrong way around

#

rushed is supposed to hurt your expertise

#

but it doesnt change

#

intesnse is actually worth to some degree

neon belfry
#

sooo

#

nothing is broken in there

#

you either spend more to get more knowledge

#

or get the part faster

#

exactly the same as written in game

versed mantle
#

I think the point is that there's no expertise penalty for Rushed

#

?

#

and that's definitely not what it says ingame

#

Rushed still costs more and doesn't seem worth using.. unless you're loaded I guess

neon belfry
#

havent really done campaigns on worse teams

#

at ferrari u swim in cash tbh

gritty wyvern
#

i mean you can swin with cash yeah but as rb i never have more than 5mil

wise flint
#

Yeah I mean at the end of it is just about how quickly you want the parts but I don't find the cash a major worry tbh e.g. the differece between rushing or doing a normal manufacture for my new sidepods is 200k dif

gritty wyvern
#

constantly spending

wise flint
#

Knowing that rushed isnt working as it should id probably just commit to rushed

gritty wyvern
#

dont need to rush 4

#

rush 2 then normal 2

neon belfry
#

given it gives the same amount of expertise

#

but ye

wise flint
neon belfry
#

i always just make 2 asap

#

and the rest on normal

gritty wyvern
#

full tank is underfuel

neon belfry

I feel like

neon belfry
#

its kina funny

versed mantle
#

you have to start with a backmarker

neon belfry
#

because i basically dominate RB in mine

versed mantle
#

to have the most fun

#

imo

wise flint
#

Might explain why

neon belfry
#

i'm just like get a WDC for ferrari to prove its possible

gritty wyvern
#

yeah i wanted to start as rb to just not worry about funding while i learned the game

wise flint
#

was in that reddit post too

neon belfry
#

then

#

its something like Alfa

#

fire some cunt

#

hire Kubica

#

and Kubica WDC

versed mantle
#

cant handle this

#

that bugged win

#

is gonna cost me

versed mantle
#

might end up doing the whole season with no engine penalties and never running a damaged engine in a race

versed mantle
#

drivers matter btw..-

versed mantle

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

YEAAAAAAAAAA

#

its insane how much I overperform in races compared to quali

#

idk if I do my run strategy wrong in Quali somehow

tight sinew
#

same

gritty wyvern
#

did you guys do a test?

tight sinew
#

only up to France s1 atm on this save cuz I swapped over to Williams haven't had much of a chance to play with the specs of the car or anything

tight sinew
gritty wyvern
#

save in menu then sim quali

#

then load back

#

and see what you can get

tight sinew
#

yeah simming got me P18 and 20 last I tried it

wise flint
#

About to start my British GP

#

Cut the average laptimes from my SS

#

should speed up my save

tight sinew
#

@wise flint back to back races with points thanks to Gasly

#

so glad I binned Albon

gritty wyvern
#

My fp3 for baku is spicy

#

5 crash ouots

tight sinew
#

I’ve got heavy rain for Quali and race in Hungary

tight sinew
#

did someone say a Williams podium

versed mantle
#

lawd

tight sinew
#

not bad for first season

versed mantle
#

beats my aston martin performance

#

have you designed much?

tight sinew
#

not a whole lot

tight sinew
versed mantle
#

ye 6th to 8th is a tighht battle in your save, was for me as well

tight sinew
#

honestly tho getting Gasly has been huge

#

was cheap and is outperforming the car massively

#

on first lap of Hungary he went from p8 to p4 with no spins/lockups etc

#

double overtake on 2 consecutive corners

tight sinew
#

bruh Piastri has gone through 3 front wings in one weekend so far

eager thunder
tight sinew
#

and then on race day Yuki shunted Gasly out of a potential top 5 finish

eager thunder
tight sinew
#

Gasly doing bits after penalty cuz Yuki destroyed my fresh ERS

versed mantle
#

wet races btw..

#

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GAME

#

I'VE BEEN CONSERVING FUEL FOR 20 LAPS AND ONLY GAINED 0.2 LAPS

wise flint
#

So should be getting my fixed next patch

#

Apparently fuel just randomly fluctuates

versed mantle
#

its a shitshow during wet races

wise flint
#

I had my fuel go from 0 to like +8 laps at Monaco in half a lap

#

Then back down to 0 after the swimming pool chicane

wise flint
#

Decided to do a ferrari career with the GF

#

first race 40+ second lead LMFAO

neon belfry
#

yee ferrari is pretty ez pz

#

basically develop anything and you can even just go and sim everything

#

tight sinew
#

eager thunder
#

#

with 3 podiums

versed mantle
#

time for season 2024

strong hatch
#

Gasly ewpaissa

eager thunder
#

No kevin 😦

tight sinew
#

Gasly is a great pick up

versed mantle
#

He is ye

#

fairly cheap too

#

I scouted also based on growth potential and aggression, trying to get good value for money across all parameters

#

But MAN

#

the top 6 points system sucks massive cock

#

I may have overdeveloped my fw and underfloor

#

every parameter on my car is best on grid

#

except for top speed and accel

#

which is 20th

#

kek

tight sinew
#

all about that value for upgrades

versed mantle
#

we'll see how this season goes

#

I got #3 in my second season

#

and its very hard to break into the top 2

#

just like IRL.

tight sinew
#

but yeah Gasly is such good value for money

#

imo best upgrade I made first season

versed mantle
#

I went with red bull engines in my 3rd year, more peak performance

#

and now I got my engine/ERS/gearbox strategy worked out

#

the lower durability should be fine

tight sinew
#

yeah the fp strat is so good

versed mantle
#

lmao im in best of the rest no mans land

#

I quali p5 and p6

#

I finish p5 and p6

#

yep p5 and p6 in all quali sessions in saudi arabia

tight sinew
#

best of the rest ain't bad

#

secures good funding so u can catch up to the facilities of those top teams

versed mantle
#

awesome they still havent fixed the Conserve fuel not working

#

so I just ran out of fuel with bottas on the last lap while leading by 15 seconds

#

after being on Conserve for 10 laps

#

with -0.5 fuel

#

and it never reaching 0

#

:)

tight sinew
#

supposed to be fixed in this coming patch

#

sometime this coming week it releases pre sure

versed mantle
#

can't come soon enough

#

so fucking tilting

tight sinew
#

so keen

versed mantle
#

neat

tight sinew
#

tyres should be good too

#

softs feel super underwhelming atm

versed mantle

gritty wyvern

The only time I noticed it working is vsc or safety cars

#

And I still haven't seen a redflag in 2 seasons

tight sinew
#

I’ve had 2

#

One was old save and one on current save which is still season 1

#

Waiting for the update coming this week and gonna go hard when it drops

versed mantle
#

lol

#

my rear wing/chassis is so bad that even if I max out an upgrade

#

it'd still be worst on grid

tight sinew
#

ok

#

so you did the reverse willaims

versed mantle
#

its kinda working tbf

#

still havent had a 1-2 finish

#

but lets see what miami brings

#

got some nice upgrades for bottas

eager thunder
#

Idk if im hitting 3 more podiums before season term is over

versed mantle
#

pole for bottas nice

#

gasly quite error-prone

#

starts p3, fucks it on lap 2

#

no chance of points

eager thunder
#
