I really wanna know if its possible to get like
100 rating drivers
and whether the best way is to upgrade a Lewis or Max
or to take some 15 year old Indian kid and just pour every resource in the universe into him
xD
fuck
Kevin is on a crash streak now
3 races 3 crashes

I probly need to replace kevin
just get Gasly
might yea
Kevin has cost me a lot of points in total of 3 seasons now
when he preform its really good
but its rarely
I mean Gasly has been pretty consistent for me
even got a win for me in the season 1 Williams car
yeah I fired Latifi before the 1st race
HAHHAHAH
moved Oscar into his seat
and then got Doohan as my reserve driver
then about halfway through the season Albon was annoying me so I replaced him with Gasly
I kinda wanna make olga my reserve driver and try make her an insane driver xD
wait thats an option?
I had scouting party tell me about her
so i guess?
look kevin gonna bin this now
damn fair enough
Holy shit
and aston martin now constructors leader
Dry race?
I mean +31 seconds with 2 safety cars is nuts
Ye had to improvise a strategy, I was on an S-M-S strategy
but first SC came early, so I pitted for Hards, drove them very hard, then pitted for Mediums on the 2nd safety car
so SMS became SHM
improvising a strategy is a lot of fun
Yea Im gonna start looking to replace kevin
idK how he is crashing so much with almost 80 in the stats to avoid crashes

the best driver that is open to negotiation is Hulkenberg at 77
a few races ago
Lewis was interested
WTF?
even my own drivers
HAHAHHAHA XD
they are playing on max diff, they want it harder
you started over or
also piastris ability to extend stins in my save is really shit gonna invest all pts there
a while ago been doing Williams for a bit now
Ever since the score change went thro
this is Japan season 1
nice q3
yeah starting p10 and p9 happy with that
I keep finishing p9 when score is p8

i need to stop pushing tyres on oscar atm not working out
but
Kevin can push tyres without issues
Oscar has really low smoothness
yea
he let me down this race but Gasly produced the goods as per usual
If I get points in every race left this season I achieve long term goal in year 1
good choice
How quickly does Piastri develop while hes racing for you?
because with Vesti's rate as improvement as a reserve driver, he'll be 30 years old before he's mid-80s
maybe I will wait until I have a fully developed race sim before taking on a junior as a race driver
one of the first things I did cuz I gave him a seat from race 1 year 1
and I also have Doohan as my reserve so I get good value there too
thats after Japan year 1
not bad
hrm iunno...
feel like the experienced-value-for-money driver is better but maybe ill be wrong longer term
im gonna scout Franchesis and keep her in mind once she can enter f1
and use her as my reserve driver
yeah I did a lot of staffing changes throughout this 1st year
in a much better spot now
put softs, drive the shit out of them for 10 laps, then pit for wets
cause thats a lot of rain
^
yea that is my plan atm
was about to type same as Azor lol
Gasly will probably make enough room in those first 9 laps
yea
that u can double stack
its notoriously out of whack
first red flag

Perez just crashed in Q1 with no time
fkn huge
Gasly starting 5th I think a podium is on the cards
bruh
3 races to go pretty happy with this first season
okay
im doing very good with gasley now
i should had dropped kevin 1 season ago
:S
yea
funny tho that Oscar is far lower rated than Albon but doing better in the drivers standings
I think if a driver has low aggression
no bueno
i want some cool mods
like replace ferrrari with clown logo
jeuss
this is a warzone
oh deer

and then leclerc and verstappen fucking crash each other out
after the safety car ends
#blessed
do u guys still do pratice urself?
ye
ofc
its a bit boring and braindead at this point ngl but I dont trust the game to do it properly
same and from what I've read it doesn't do it properly at all
crazy how cheap gasley is for what u get
I still dont understand how the contract stuff works
sometimes they are happy with everything, neutral on one thing
take in mick
and they still decline

wish there was more feedback
gasley havent done any lock ups yet
which is good
compared to kevin who did like 3-4 lock up per race
i have worst break cooling on the grid
and i cant make anything better

just need points in final 2 races and long term objective is done in year 1
would be sick
i got some good quali in the aus gp
2 and 3
so not bad
first pole in quali ever
imagine seeing haas in this pos
finally
best value on the grid
perfect damage control with bottas retiring
why is gasley so broken????
just dropped $29m on the last CFD simulator upgrade
like wtf
also gasly had like shit stats
cuz his practice was shit
missed fp1 due to Vesti, and never nailed the setup even with calculator
what a god
he's a chad
like thats a huuuge upgrade for me
hmm im thinking of taking 2 new pu and and its the french gp
so its a ok track to do so
i just did a ferrari


:O

my breaks are so bad

lmao
@tight sinew
piastri spun twice on samer corner
on same lap

aight last race of the season lads
is p3 season target?
didn't get points in Abu Dhabi but we take 6th for the year
another gasly win where bottas crashes
my bottas is washed up
can I get a new one
He's crashing so much lately
"bottas has low morale" yeah I would too if I kept fucking crashing
fuck off
my long term objective is podium contender but im winning the championship kekw
bottas destroying so many engines too
sigh
not even halfway thru season, bottas' gearboxes
https://puu.sh/JlYMT/e8ceb8e91a.png
XD
kevin did that to me
a lot of times
vettel just crashedd gasly
rip podium

I'v actually had a good season so far not had to take any PU yet even tho I want to 
ok starting season 2 was super cool
time to see if all my research paid off
so excited for Bahrain holy shit
alfa going with team washed
how do I train my pit crew ?
staff tab
under pit crew
you pick one
and thats what they train
until u tell them otherwise
ah ty
car seems good
wet france xd
1-2 by 30 sec
because i pitted a lap sooner
AI just sucks in wet in general i feel
this is gonna get spicy
@versed mantle just experienced the fuel bug for first time I lucked out and Gasly ran out of fuel but momentum carried him across for a p4
i did it bois
i did the long term goal and season goal
@tight sinewgasly is whining on my breaks
what do i ddo

Oscar doesn't even need to do p3 lmao
he's French he'll whine about everything
ye but anything i can do
idk doesn't he just say it when he locks up
ye
yeah just a copy pasted voice line bro
@versed mantle just got my little brother to watch f1 next race

Im fueing his addiction soon
it is
nice!
fffffffffffs
1-2 in hungary wet ez
and BOTH drivers crash and destroy their front wings
BOTH
THEY ARE THROWING IT AWAY
man i invested like 50 milion of my budget in 2024 to make a giga car in 2025
yeah I had Gasly go wide and went from p4 to p20
managed to claw him back to p4 tho
and Oscar crashed but managed to secure p6 or 7
I wanna kill my drivers
I wonder if this is how Gunther feels every week
@versed mantle did u feel like u could've been rockstars but ended up like bunch of wankers
they have never thrown so hard
like
not just one
but both
and in the post-race clip
my team are clapping
??
and celebrating?`?
seems like u should've picked Haas and then its basically an rp game lmao
p10 and p20???
ur drivers are just pranking u
how often do u let ur reserve driver go to p1
this season, never
i did unti I knew I wouldnt lose my p4
i would never think charles and max in same team
and I wanna maximize everything this season
I have Gasley and Piastri till 2027
which is nice
my drivers also throwing it in bahrain
summer break
let's get a good start to the end of the season in belgium
19 minutes into FP1
what the fuck has gotten into my drivers
Man I just wanna be home and play games 😭
p1 for Gasly but we don't talk about Oscar
Piastri is binning it this season
idk
i am developing him a lot
taken him to like 80 overall soon
he can extend stins now a lot
gasly is doing good tho
honestly Doohan is developing better than Piastri was
really?
Im developing Liam as my reserve driver
letting him go out as much as I can in P1
I have Doohan do every fp1 for me
hmm
i cant do that
i finished race under safety car
lmao
also Lewis retired
and ocon went to take his spot
somehow
this fuel bug is the worst thing in the entire game
just gonna overfuel to the max now
fuck it
fixed soon

I have big hopium for this weeks patch
really keen for the changes to tires too
I also replaced a both race engineers
i wanna look into better aero one
I want this person
but Alessando isnt intersted

I had a completely different staff lineup like halfway through 1st season
worked out pre well for me
first season I just did races and pratice to learn
woodsy and azor I thikn its time for vettel to retire in my save
he binned it in first corner

XD
oh shit they red flagged fp3 and cancelled it early after a 2nd crash happened
@eager thunder yeah but look at this
nah Yuki
mick kicked?
I just developed the worst front wing ever

@versed mantle what is the fuel bugg?
just running out of fuel and "conserve" not actually giving you any more
oh
talk dirty to me
im getting outdeveloped
hanging on for dear life
verstappen is insane late season
is he interested in joining
thats the hard part
irl he's a f2 driver I believe
ahh

i kinda wish we got to make new livery for our team
that would be cool
I'd imagine once the game is in a state they are happy with they'll start going for stuff like that in future updates
I hope so
or mods that lets u edit how car looks
or a "ur own team" to put into the grid from scratch
own team from scratch would be awesome
yea
which is since f1 2022 lets u change how the car looks
AYOO
its fully upgraded now
nice
yea
he went from barely making a sitnt
to being pogging out
his racecraft is dogshit though
have u ever had a racer "sick" any making u use ur reserve driver?
causeI havent
nah
yeah I'm so keen for that
important af singapore 1-2
upgrades inc for the last few races of the season
Ferrari are throwing
That’s where your problem lies 
wdym I get 100% in track and 100% set up in only 2fp sessions anyway
I also feel so giga brain rn cuz I did my own custom strategy for Spain and it was better than all the default ones
im gonna try snatch max
Gusss you’re fine then 
lando and gasly is a nice comp
higher than Gasly's pre sure I'll check in a sec
think I wrapped up both championships 2 races before end of season
ferrari had an awful second half
sadly the game doesn't celebrate bottas early
just gonna skip qualis and practices now to get the season done I guess
see how bad the game does them
So I'm trying the game again and hoping i dont get blue screen midway through bahrain this time
i guess if i do i could fuck around with graphic setting and see if something there is randomly triggering it
well thats a fucking no
@versed mantle if you wanna see Gasly vs Norris growth potential
nice for norris
ya
I wanna keep playing but I gotta prep for raid pepelaff
very pog
say ur sick 
im so glad I fired mag

Feel like that should give them a buff tbh
how the fuck

he is broken
legit
wtf
I just need to either replace Piastri or improve his raec craft
cause his racecraft is pisspooor
I splurged a bit. https://puu.sh/Jm77u/152a92d294.png
hahahhah
sheeesh
Drivers are just so crucial
Im doing well on money
I never run out

ima see if I can get maxx
uhm
Season basicly just started
so lemme maybe reinstall the game and then run graphics low and see what happens
literally nothing else causes any issues so it gotta be something to do with the game 😒
Idk why you would be getting blue screens very odd one
Any over clocking or anything?
Or under?
As I was getting general blue screens by slightly undervolted ram which caused overheating
CPU has a default overclock but its been like that since i got it
Only other time i've had any issue with BSODs was at one point with minecraft
which was cos my java was fucked
so once i deleted all traces of java and minecraft from my pc and reinstalled both, was all fine
only other time i ever got them beyond that is occasionally when i havent noticed a GPU driver update
So it turns out. I validated the steam install
and there was an issue with one file
so fingers crossed
Are you checking resources whilst playing on a second screen?
And any idea what the error codes say?
they are all memory
Ram memory or vram?
i've run full diag on my RAM, theres nothing wrong with it
so i'm assuming its gpu ram
What’s your gpu?
1080Ti
i7-8700k
@tight sinew @versed mantle do I ?
Pretty sure ram is ddr3 1600
Might be 1333 I forget
32gb 16x2
And it didn't work
Went for a piss game back computer rebooting
so i guess its a nope for me ever playing this game 😒
That ram sounds grim 💀
lemme find out exactly i might remember wrong lol
yeah ok i underplayed that alot
its DDR4 3000
Okay thank god 
I knew it wasn't the absolute highest avaliable at the time
it was like one tier down
i just couldn't remember what was out then
or maybe i did just get the best avaliable at the time, idk
but yeah, basically. its literaly just this game that fucking hates me
Its probably because i'm playing Ferrari
Best thing to do would monitor temps and resource usage whilst playing imo
And then ofc consult the event viewer
i honestly have no idea what i'm even looking at in the event viewer lol
2025 begins
20million in debt
if my drivers crash
or break something
I am fucked
I have no money to design anything
im like Brawn in 2009
I have the best car. The best drivers. The best personnel
But not $1
holy fucing shit norris is op
What actually happens if you get fired
because that might be a real possibility for me
like would I get an opportunity to go back to season start and do things differently
too late..

Let us know how fucked you get when you get fired
Gotta say worked pre damn well for me
Ok I make $4.2m per month
I will get kicked out in 4 months
I am no mathematician
but I don't think this works out.
which day of each month do you get paid tho
I guess it doesn't work that way
@versed mantle
How many seasons

i knew someone posted a youre fired sceen
im on s3 still pumping
building up my checo replacement
Oh right haha
Who u getting to replace him
Noice
Aight then I feel fine
If my full send verstappen gamble doewnt work I can just get a cheaper driver and be fine
did u hire him?
lmao
in mine Latifi never got a seat after I dropped him
McLaren took Piastri instead
so now they have 2 Aussies kinda based
im currently fighting for p2 and p3 in the contrsuctors
atta boy
ya

fat money at the end of the season when u finish towards the top
oh it changed back?
yeeee
finally
oh fuck
my steam cloud says bad things
lets hope my save isnt fucked
I had that happen and lost like 2 or 3 races of progress
Was a bit annoyed at first but then I ended up doing better than I did first time around in Imola lol
this happened to me last season and it wasn't even my drivers fault
Yuki shunted into Gasly and wrecked the entire PU
XD
worst part is
IT WAS A FRESH PU

Good salvage rafce
@tight sinew
race*
really good salvage due to pu
man
Max has a 1.01x growth potential
even tho he's 91
that's the same as Gasly
I think I will survive this season
but since I can't do any research or design
im worried about later in the season.
and next season

man
can I do this?
can i beat the clowns
i spent sooo muhc money of the cost cap on reaserch
1 last race
on some races Im only given enough fuel to last exact laps 
nvm vettel crashed me
won the first 3 races of the year with max
now bottas is 2nd driver
how things change.
we did good
idk why I like haas so much
i think this is good?
we FINALLY getting this back
yea..
the 10 pts system is so fucking stupid
i got sooo much price money for that season
from the 40-50m to 64m
altho I dont like this
wat
the
frick
why is logan not a car driver 2 xD?
and bottas has broken a front wing
1 reserve left
what happens if you run out of parts even
not without money sir
if you have no parts and no money to get them is it just game over
lets u go into more debt
ill check after imola
you sure?
it says insufficient funds when I try to manufacture now
u will 100% go into debt
aslong u get enough back on the next race u should be fine
it let me emergency manufacture when I was in debt from Lando pre sure
not the normal types tho
well I got one left
how much do u get after every race+
u should be fine then
but I also maxed out every sponsor obligation
Norris has to podium for me to pay him out
Gasly is a boomer now
I was desperate to get him 
I tried negotiating with russell
but he wanted so much money
negotiations fell thru
damn
this new underfloor tho!
I kinda wish we could to decide what tracks we wanna play around 
more like options about the season
well u can
build a car for certain tracks
I haven't had a pole yet
oh
just as I said that
I qualify 1-2
in miami
:O
and leclerc knocked out in q2
this is amazing for my championship
Do u think Haas could become podium contender in irl?
no
no

unless Gene wants to dump like double the amount of money into the team
hey welcome to episode 812382138 of me crying about the fuel thing
I am literally running
standard fuel
for 50% of the race
and conserve the second half
in spain
and I still run out of fuel on the last lap
with maxed out fuel (110kg)
its a wet race too
man i made such a giga car
im so bad at manging fuel
I always have way to much
@tight sinew this was some pure domination

Monaco was my first non win of the season. I fucked up the strategy though
Went too hard on my tyres trying to overtake and had to pit early and then conserve rest of the race
Too impatient
man
my current seasonal goal is to win the constructor championship
but im vs redubll
like on the next season the whole rear wing is gonna get 50% -
which is bad
I wanna get Max but im doing so good amt
and I dont wanna replace either norris and gas
Yeah honestly Q3 was the exciting part of the weekend once I got pole was just 1 stop strategy take care of tyres and win race
@versed mantle @tight sinew have u noticed if u do this on pace and then start race it's still showing as normal pace?
wdym
like when i start race its still like its normal pace
you can set the pace of ur driver before the race
so i hae to do that first?
well if ur first stint is aggressive
I'd set it to aggressive before the race starts ye
@tight sinewWE DID IT
HAAS WITH CONSTRUCT AND DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP
WAS So close to lose it
due to dubble pts
Gratz sir
