[sick pasture]

I'll have to buy the game before the 10th of September then

crap

[lean escarp]

lol

I want to but i feel like it isn't worth it

I didn't get the 800th anniversary or the triple crown liveries

and f1 24 isn't too far away

[junior kite]

i got the triple crown one

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @junior kite, you're now on lap 10

[keen brook]

same

I even use it for my F1 World car.

[junior kite]

than my 5 hr trial ran out

[lean escarp]

it doesn't look as good in game as irl

might not even get it

50 bucks for f1 23 isn't worth it for me

[junior kite]

i wasn’t sure how i felt abt it still not sure

[junior kite]

i spent 25 on f122 and it was still miserable

[lean escarp]

I spent 70

and i still play it

[junior kite]

i hate it

[lean escarp]

if you get used to it it's not bad at all

[junior kite]

i just play f1 2019

[lean escarp]

I've been playing for almost a year now on 22 and it feels good actually

[junior kite]

i hate how everything is so understeery

[lean escarp]

it's rewarding if you get it right

[lean escarp]

true

[junior kite]

i also play on controller which dosent help

[lean escarp]

same

I was considering 23 purely because of the pad tech

[junior kite]

i used to have f1 2021 but for some reason it became a very oversteery game like i could never keep traction

even on full TC

car was spinning in circles

[lean escarp]

2021 was so fun

[junior kite]

yeah

[lean escarp]

so chuckable

[junior kite]

2019 still is

[lean escarp]

used to play it until my gamepass ran out

sad

[keen brook]

2021 was the best game ever in terms of AI mistakes.

[junior kite]

i love 2019 handeling model

[lean escarp]

100%

imo 2020 has the best handling model

[junior kite]

oh yeah by a mile

[lean escarp]

played it for a bit before gamepass ran out and it was epic

classic cars too

[keen brook]

23 is actually even better than 2020.

[lean escarp]

doubt

[keen brook]

in terms of handling

[junior kite]

i had no tc on 2020 when i got into the f1 games and never knew bc it was manageable

i swear if there’s nothing new to career mode next year

all we need is custom engines

[keen brook]

custom calendar

[junior kite]

that too

[keen brook]

livery/helmet/etc. editor

[junior kite]

yes

motogp has such a better system just use it as an example

[keen brook]

They can literally copy is from NFS.

It's even an EA game.

[junior kite]

oh yeah lol

[keen brook]

And has a very decent editor.

I remember once trying to re-create the 2020 Renault livery on a street car.

[junior kite]

also the ability to change car design somewhat would be cool not just the FOM car

like front wing and stuff

[keen brook]

That's the moment where I reaziled how much you can do just with simple forms.

[junior kite]

yeah

literally they just need to do something

[keen brook]

Yeah, that would be nice as well.

Like you have for example 5 shapes you can choose from.

something like that

[junior kite]

they can just take known concepts like designs from RB and all the other teams and make them into presets

or even make it affect performance like if u use williams ur speed is increased or smth

[keen brook]

Yeah, so that you can kinda build from all the 10 teams cars your own car.

[junior kite]

yeah exactly

just hire us at ea tbh

i saw that aarava took his own route by making his own custom powertrain mod/story thing

[lean escarp]

that was so cool

[keen brook]

yeah

[lean escarp]

it can definitely be improved upon but it's a good concept

[junior kite]

yeah i agree good on him for making the game somewhat fun

yeah its very not flush with the game from the looks

looks kinda rushed

[lean escarp]

cause it's not in game

[keen brook]

Literally one YouTuber did more for career mode than a whole billionaire company.

[lean escarp]

it's photoshopped/ edited

it's not actually in the game

[junior kite]

yeah he had like some buttons in one of the shots that didn’t fit at all

like the sort button

[lean escarp]

exactly

by newest

yeah

[junior kite]

my driver

bro carried f12015 with that

[keen brook]

He carried F1 22 just alone with making videos about it.

[junior kite]

yeah

he actually tries to make it intriguing

theres also ben and alex coop career which was okay

[keen brook]

He even said he only did the videos to carry his career series on.

And didn't actually have fun driving in this dogshit game.

Now in F1 23 at least driving is fun again.

[junior kite]

yeah atleast the handling was improved in 23 but they spent so much time on breaking point which is too easy and f1 world which nobody asked for

[lean escarp]

my driver was goated

[junior kite]

i wanna get older f1 games like 2016

not 2015 or 2014

[broken nest]

would suggest you to get them on Steam, but all of the F1 games pre-2020 are delisted so yeah

really sucks that they did that, but at least I got all the pre-2020 F1 games before that happened

now I'm wishing I got the Schumacher DLC for F1 2020 because I'm worried it'll be delisted soon

[junior kite]

the fact that even f1 2009 career mode had a better feature than f1 23

wish 2020 was still on gamepass

[lean escarp]

can't you get it off of ebay or smth

[junior kite]

not for steam prob

[broken nest]

yeah

plus I think it might still be available on Steam

oh it isn't, goddammit

[junior kite]

idk

[broken nest]

please don't mention any piracy services here

[junior kite]

okay

sorry

[broken nest]

it's ok

[vapid garnet]

Is it bad to put Differential on 50%?

[keen brook]

Maybe some physical stores still sell it.

[junior kite]

where are you driving?

[vapid garnet]

Canada

[junior kite]

id say diff on 50 for the hairpin

idk i change mine throughout the rave

race

i usually pop it on 50 for hairpins

although im sure someone here is more helpful with setup stuff

[vapid garnet]

I don't like changing settings in the sessions too much work for me tbh

[junior kite]

understandable i used to not

but if i keep it too low i get some oversteer but if i keep it higher i get more understeer so i just change it throughout a bit

[vapid garnet]

I thought too low would reduce oversteer?

I mean I don't really understand setup stuff tbf

[wintry fiber]

How realistic does this look?

[junior kite]

me too

i might be completely wrong

[lean escarp]

solid 8.5

[vague atlas]

very

i love AC

[dusky knoll]

F1 game glitch

[steel current]

Third mechanical dnf in a row

Great start to the season for Porsche

Finished 2 out of 5 races

[lyric scaffold]

F123 doesn't care about R&D💀

[steel current]

Best part is it’s a brand new career, so there’s literally nothing I can do about it

It’s not like I can upgrade anything yet

[humble loom]

Going into Monaco, we overtook Alpine and Mercedes.

Going into the qualifying, Seb needs his 2nd combustion engine and MGU-H.

[keen brook]

After the qualifying already, Seb won his rivalry against Leclerc.

[vapid garnet]

Haven't used a controller in a long long time, first time using it and it is so much easier than wheel. So easy to catch overtseer and so much easier just putting my foot on the gas. Anyone had this b4 and knows what to change in my wheel settings to make it feel like a controller

[loud lynx]

But wheel feels 10x better

ngl I feel so much more immersed with my wheel

[vapid garnet]

It's more fun but controller is just so much easier isn't it?

[loud lynx]

depends

I feel much more precise and confident with wheel

especially with overtaking

bit yeah sometimes corners are nicer with controller

but Idk I have much more fun with wheel

[vapid garnet]

Yeah wheel is way more fun

[loud lynx]

and some games are not playable with controller

[vapid garnet]

I mean I'm on Xbox

[loud lynx]

at least thats what I heard about acc

[vapid garnet]

Didn't even think about it

[loud lynx]

about what

[vapid garnet]

If you can play ACC with controller or not

Let me google it one sec

[loud lynx]

you can

there is an option

[vapid garnet]

oh ok

[loud lynx]

but idk

its quite hard at the beginning with a wheel

so I cant imagine with controller

[vapid garnet]

I am actually thinking about buying it

[loud lynx]

which xbox do you have?

I play on one x in 4k

[vapid garnet]

I have the oldest one

[loud lynx]

maybe 30 smth fps but its fun

[vapid garnet]

Xbox one the black one

[loud lynx]

ok idk about it

but ig it will be fine in 1080p

just one thing

you dont get updates on old gen

: (

so no 1.9 for us

no 1.8 either

[vapid garnet]

wdym? what updates are there for ACC I have no idea

Like DLC?

[loud lynx]

also (not for free ofc)

but you got things like newer physics afaik and at least one free car

bmw m4 gt3

and I want that

[vapid garnet]

Xbox one S also doesn't count as new gen right?

[loud lynx]

no

as said I have one x

and its old gen

event though it runs the game no updates for me

bs

[vapid garnet]

that sucks

[loud lynx]

but idc really

I have fun with what I have (still a lot of stuff)

especially the 2020 mclaren is just perfect

so summarized:

[vapid garnet]

Did you buy any DLC?

[loud lynx]

if you like gt3 go for it

[loud lynx]

not yet, but I might do

thought abt USA dlc, italian smth (with monza) and maybe the one with mount panorama

[vapid garnet]

Yeah that's the issue with ACC for me, feels pretty limited with only like 11 free tracks right?

[loud lynx]

I mean depends

Im happy with spa, zaandvort and nürburgring

but ofc if you want more you have to pay

[vapid garnet]

The nurburgring is free?

[loud lynx]

yeah

[vapid garnet]

Like Nurburgring Nordeschlife?

[loud lynx]

but no nordschleife

[vapid garnet]

Damn did I write that right?

[loud lynx]

move the first e than its right ^^

[vapid garnet]

So close

[loud lynx]

so you have Nürburgring gp circuit

I think there is no nordschleife in acc

since the gt3 doesnt drive on it afaik

[vapid garnet]

oh ok

I wonder if anytime soon it'll be on sale

[loud lynx]

Ig

black friday or so

I hope the samw abt F1 23

[vapid garnet]

Like 2/3 weeks ago it was like 30$ less or something on my Xbox

But I didn't buy it

[loud lynx]

[vapid garnet]

That's like 3 months for now isn't it

[loud lynx]

i think

but just look out

maybe they will do some sale

[vapid garnet]

I hope so, than I'll probably buy it

[loud lynx]

and If you buy it and want to race just ask me

[vapid garnet]

Yeah I'm probably gonna be very very bad lol

[loud lynx]

bro Im still driving training laps

its quite realistic

so Its hard to keep consistent lap times since there is a lot of stuff

where u can fail

but its fun trust me

[vapid garnet]

Now I understand there are the basic cars which are free. They are all same performance right?

[loud lynx]

dunno

good question

I think they behave differently at least

[vapid garnet]

I sometimes see 24h races where they use these cars so I guess they are equal

Wouldn't make much sense giving them different cars

[loud lynx]

yeah

or u can set it up

like in F1

Id have to take a look

[cunning sentinel]

any tips for improving license level in F1 23?

[vapid garnet]

I think if you do a lot of F1 world (cleanly) against AI it can be done

[cunning sentinel]

I do solo events which I can get lots of clean laps in but I find boring but in multiplayer everyone’s so dirty in C tier that it’s almost impossible

not to get warnings

[cunning sentinel]

it’s just that against AI is so boring

[vapid garnet]

Best way is doing the solo F1 World

[vapid garnet]

Yeah it is boring ik

[cunning sentinel]

yeah guess there’s no other way

[vapid garnet]

Yeah but it doesn't take a long long time

[cunning sentinel]

I’m like halfway through C rn

so just lots of clean laps in a row?

[vapid garnet]

Yeah that's the best way I know of

[cunning sentinel]

okay thanks

I’ll get to that then

[vapid garnet]

Np

Good luck

[cunning sentinel]

I’ll need it

[radiant charm]

looks so good

and its not even hight sett (only using high weather)

all setting re low

[glacial gyro]

If you think modern day F1 game hit boxes are questionable, take a look at this! When I overtook this guy, I barely touched him and not only did retire but I also got a 10 second time penalty!

[dusty dew]

Anyone down to do a dedicated 2 player career mode maybe? or if not a just a daily person that actually plays and we can just run random lobbies for the shits and giggles

[lyric scaffold]

Is R&D glitched by anyone else?

[steel current]

What a phenomenal race! Off the back of 3 consecutive engine failures, we get a wet race in Imola, and I flew through the grid. Comes to lap 27 and I make the last minute decision to pit for softs. All the AI stayed out until the end of lap 30, which allowed me to make up the 11 second gap to verstappen with a huge undercut. Battling the red bull all the way to the finish line, and I won on track. Insane race

I really wish the highlights system was better, doesn't show most of the overtakes I made, especially some really good ones on Perez, Hamilton and Norris

[lost moth]

That was a ballsy overtake on stroll

[steel current]

It was an all or nothing moment, I had to make time up to Verstappen while he was still on inters

[true panther]

Ai stayed out on super softs lol

ngl i almost slammed into bottas

was not really paying attention

[cunning sentinel]

Anyone wanna play

[steel current]

I need to up my difficulty but I have no idea what it should be

[vapid garnet]

What I did is go to time trial, set a lap on every track, put it in F1Laps, and did an average

[steel current]

I’ll do that just now, im on monaco so this should be interesting

Im currently racing on 90 which is way too low

So I think I’ll be around 100

Okay my best lap was a 1:10.829

Time to see what difficulty that should be

Wow

I was on the complete wrong difficulty

[vapid garnet]

Don't wanna ruin your excitement, but the AI are pretty slow on Monaco

You should do other tracks

A 1:10:829 is pretty good tho

[steel current]

I’ve never been good at Monaco so I’m happy with that, 2.8 seconds off world record is pretty good for someone like me

[vapid garnet]

Yeah no it's a very good lap

[steel current]

Well that’s disappointing

[heavy shoal]

2.8

man

that is a good time

[steel current]

I decided to max out the difficulty, I was doing well, fighting for 5th, and then I got a double puncture on the same side and was forced to retire because I couldn’t turn the car

[heavy shoal]

i'm like 3.5 seconds off on average

idk where that time is

and i dont think im ever gonna find it

[steel current]

Thing about f1 is the time gain is so minuscule that it looks like it’s impossible to improve

[heavy shoal]

yea

[steel current]

Especially on short tracks, like monaco, Austria, canada etc

The laps are so short, there’s not much places to improve

[heavy shoal]

i'm in a league and i was like 2.7 seconds off in qualifying, but i felt like i pushed super hard

just nothing

[steel current]

Whereas somewhere like Baku, Singapore, COTA, you can find so much time easily

[heavy shoal]

mhm

[vapid garnet]

Yeah the time trials of some people is amazing honestly

[flint ivy]

what is this

[steel current]

f1laps

[flint ivy]

this?

[steel current]

yeah

[flint ivy]

thanks

I need to something

wait it's what need it

no

Going into Spain, the packing order hasn't changed.

[keen brook]

Going into the qualifying, Seb needs now his 2nd turbo charger and 2nd gearbox.

[swift crater]

Yk what f1 needs

A pro player career

Where you can be a real driver in career mode

[vapid garnet]

wdym?

[heavy shoal]

i mean

i feel like not many people would play that

since there is Grand Prix mode

[swift crater]

Like fifa has

You can me kylian mbappe in career

[swift crater]

Yeah but you could do like

Rebuilding daniels career

But in Grand Prix your stuck at one team

[heavy shoal]

idk

[keen brook]

Spain race result of my Sebastian Vettel career

[keen brook]

Seb's new rival is Esteban Ocon.

Albon spun and then de Vries smashed into him, taking both out of the race.

Then Max had an engine failure.

And then Zhou spun.

[cunning sentinel]

alpain u should show the best overtake of the race

or is that too much

[loud lynx]

me when I tried barcelona in gt3 for the first time

[zenith pendant]

Anybody here relatively new and run around 50 difficulty wanna play?

[snow epoch]

end of season in my f1 manager 2023 Ferrari career:
Verstappen takes the WDC, which was clinched in Mexico
Charles and Carlos get 5th and 6th respectively

Red Bull are also Constructors' Champions, and we get 3rd.

In total we had 9 podiums (i think, i might be wrong because i may have forgot) and 1 victory, given by Charles in Imola 🇮🇹

We hired Dudley as race engineer (substituting Marcos Padros) and Pierre Wachè substituting Cardile.

2024 season other transfers: Tsunoda joins Williams, Zhou and Mick Schumacher join AlphaTauri and Ricciardo joins Alfa Romeo

[snow epoch]

uhhhh

[lyric scaffold]

thats very natural

[subtle marsh]

these AIs are brutal.. and how the hell do i get a warning?

[dim kite]

looks like u drove into him twice lmao

no space

[heavy shoal]

we need a different angle

[keen brook]

And the AI never back out on the inside.

only on the outside

[heavy shoal]

doesnt look like he was further enough alongside

Assuming how the car reacted

[keen brook]

AI behaviour is inside = divebomb, outside = backing out.

[heavy shoal]

true

[dim kite]

i mean the red arrow is there for the ai

[heavy shoal]

yeah but that doesnt mean that they are entitled to space

but i see what u mean

[dim kite]

plus other car had more momentum

so ofc hes going ot try to pass

[heavy shoal]

yeah

at the end of the day, the AI are stupid so they will always win

[keen brook]

In esses you really need to keep the line.

[heavy shoal]

we need a different angle fs

going for a move there is optimistic

imo

[dim kite]

i think other car deserved space the red arrow was there plus they had way more momentum

cant just try to cut them off like that

when they there

[heavy shoal]

yeah but were they alongside?

[keen brook]

In esses it's basically off the line = AI sends it.

[heavy shoal]

i dont think more momentum really matters

that doesnt give u the right to crash into someone

[keen brook]

Also it's the teammate which makes it even worse.

[heavy shoal]

there is a certain amount of car you need to have alongsuide to be granted space

red arrow doesnt mean they are entitled to space

although it can

[heavy shoal]

lmao

more merc drama

[keen brook]

But red arrow does mean there is a car next to you.

And you need to be aware.

[heavy shoal]

yea

[dim kite]

well yea

red arrow

plus look in the mirrors

def deserved room

with the momentum too

[subtle marsh]

this is the only angle i can get since i dont have the full replay

[heavy shoal]

yeah no

what the fuck

that is the dumbest divebomb i've ever seen the ai make

Also I like how the AI keeps pushing you 💀

you're just half spun and the ai is carrying u

Front wheel to rear wheel

not entitled to space

[subtle marsh]

istg hamilton tries to take me out every single race

[heavy shoal]

red arrows don't mean they were alongside

if anything it means they are boutta hit you 💀

[heavy shoal]

How did Silverstone go 😭

[subtle marsh]

they have no mercy

[heavy shoal]

Momentum doesn't mean you can just barge your way in 😭

you gotta use your momentum correctly

and he did not

he should've tried around the outside or sum

but then again

they are AI

[subtle marsh]

bro was flying on that race.. i wish he was doing that irl

[dim kite]

i mean from there it does look like hamiltons fault

but it looked like u were going very slow there

and then next corner you gave him no space when he was alongside tho

when he was on outside

[heavy shoal]

Where is blud going

[heavy shoal]

this tho i kinda agree with

[subtle marsh]

i mean ye i was kinda slower on the turn but there was no reason for him to full send into my rear tyre lmao

[subtle marsh]

after that he deserved no space at all lmao he can race in the sand 😭

[heavy shoal]

lmao

[dim kite]

well the ai aint human so it cant react how it should when there be a slower car ahead like that

[heavy shoal]

true

[subtle marsh]

true but this man is trying to take me out every single race lmao

[heavy shoal]

just do a little brake check

yk

a little front wing damage

never hurt anyone

[subtle marsh]

fr

test the brakes

[heavy shoal]

yeah you get it

it'd be dangerous if you went into T1 with no brakes

[subtle marsh]

exactly

[dim kite]

i never have problems with the ai like that lmao

[heavy shoal]

yeah i've had a lot more problems with them on f122

on here not so much

my main problem with them is the straightline speed

[heavy shoal]

I mean they would literally turn into you even if you were ahead at the apex

[keen brook]

yeah

Had that with Mick in the very fast left corner in Spa in sector 3.

[heavy shoal]

blanchimont

[keen brook]

yeah that one

Didn't know how it's written.

[heavy shoal]

ngl neither do i

i dont know if that's right

lol

[keen brook]

Yeah, it's correct.

Yeah, I really had to fully slam the brakes to not smash into the wall.

[heavy shoal]

lmao

[keen brook]

Which obviously costed me a lot of positions and also gave me front wing damage from the contact.

And I was wheel to wheel with Mick, not even behind him.

So of course I haven't backed out.

[heavy shoal]

did you crash into him at the bustop going 200mph?

[keen brook]

In Blanchimont he turned into me.

I was on the inside of him.

[heavy shoal]

yea but did u get revenge?

[keen brook]

nah

I'm not like that.

[heavy shoal]

aww

[keen brook]

I prefer clean driving.

[heavy shoal]

missed opportunity

[keen brook]

Also I let's say don't play it only for myself.

So it puts me in a bad light if I would do something like that.

[heavy shoal]

just flashback like it never happened

[keen brook]

I have flashbacks off.

[snow epoch]

rate these screenshots i did

[heavy shoal]

Absolute heat 🔥

Hi,what is the difference between wor and psgl? When someone became world champion?

[fervent stream]

Rusty on controller

[dim kite]

wdym whats the difference

they are completely different leagues

[lyric scaffold]

And how someone becomes world champion? There is another league ?

[dim kite]

bro what

person who gets most points wins the title

what other league u talkin about

[vapid garnet]

@lyric scaffold There's WOR - World Online Racing
PSGL - Premier Sim Gaming Leagues.
Both of them are let's say "fan owned", nothing really official, more like gaming players just making fun.

And than there's the Esports league, which is the official EA sports league. They are the official F1 EA league, and whoever wins the Esports league is the world champion.

[keen brook]

Going into Canada, Mercedes overtook Alpine and Williams overtook Alpine.

I've forgotten once again to change before the quali.

Going into the race, Seb needs now his 2nd MGU-K.

[cobalt linden]

is it just me or softs feel slower at Suzuka on the f122 game i was quicker on the mediums

[heavy shoal]

could be tyre temps or sum

idk

softs do wear a lot more quickly

so you're probably just experiencing wear

[keen brook]

And it's F1 22, everything is weird in this game.

[cobalt linden]

fr

i really need 23

[daring bridge]

Hello

[cobalt linden]

idk bc my first lap on softs was 2 seconds slower than my first lap on mediums

[heavy shoal]

maybe you had damage then

cuz 2 seconds is crazy lol

[cobalt linden]

ye im

ik

i think f122 is just weird

bc it is

[heavy shoal]

yea lmao

[slate depot]

got my setup finally

[keen brook]

nice

[cunning sentinel]

for context: last lap of a Monaco race, I picked up wing damage in lap 1 but so did everyone so I decided to gamble and stay out. Someone finally caught up to me at the end but got a bit over aggressive…

[keen brook]

How the other dude just smashed into the wall.

[cunning sentinel]

he did a Schumacher💀

[plucky quarry]

I didn't notice the yellow until it was too late

Seb has re-signed with Red Bull for the rest of the 2011 season.

There were no mid-season driver transfers.

[cunning sentinel]

r u using F1 23 for this

[keen brook]

Otherwise I couldn't call me Seb.

[keen brook]

The steering looks a bit weird.

[plucky sail]

most normal non-content creator esports driver:

[woven gust]

how much did it cost you

nice set

[slate depot]

420€

[lost moth]

7 seconds quicker on your fastest. how da hell

[woven gust]

for the whole thing with the pedals?

can you send me the name of the setup?

[slate depot]

yes

[slate depot]

I bought them used but its the CSL Elite v1.1 (discontinued), csl pedal’s and the clubsport formula esport’s v1

all from fanatec

[woven gust]

thanks, i’m getting into sim racing and i really wanna buy a good set up for it

appreciate it

[slate depot]

no problem

[steel current]

Yet another mechanical dnf in my career, this is ridiculous now

4 mechanical DNFs in main races, one in a sprint race, and one dnf due to double puncture. I’m only 10 races in

[woven gust]

no wins or podiums in those 10 races?

how do you even get mechanical dnfs, i’ve never gotten one

[steel current]

1 win in Imola, 2 other points finished

[steel current]

You have to have player faults turned on

[woven gust]

oh, i’m new to the f1 games so idk much, i’ve started no assists and drove with it for the past month and i really enjoy it

[steel current]

Player faults adds to the realism, it’s a good feature, just gets annoying when you dnf half your races

Especially when two of the mechanical dnf’s were within the last 5 laps of the race and I was 5th in both

[plush skiff]

How good are the f1 manager games?

[woven gust]

my monitor and pc would be both in pieces if that ever happened to me 💀
i’d rather play without it tbh

[woven gust]

never tried them but i don’t really think they’re worth it

[steel current]

They’re very good but it’s more of a spreadsheet game than a arcade game. It’s a lot of a fun if you invest your time. Can get very immersive

[steel current]

I’ve got used to it, it’s a good way to keep championship battles interesting, otherwise it can be very easy to win every championship every year

[gleaming tundra]

i was in a title battle on the last race with lance stroll at monza and on the last lap leclerc takes out stroll

it was in the rain too

[lean escarp]

with STROLL?!

[hearty sable]

STROLL?

what was bro cooking

[lean escarp]

his wrist was probably broken all season

[hearty sable]

Stroll is the worst driver on the grid 🗣️

[hearty sable]

ah ok

stroll is overpowered in that game

bruh i had an intense championship battle with him

can u believe me 😭

[keen brook]

Intense battle with Stroll sounds like being Latifi.

[hearty sable]

blud was like max verstappen

meanwhile max verstappen went straight into a barrier like as if his brakes and steering disappeared

[hearty sable]

Btw stroll finished 6 points behind me and i became champion

and i became a ferrari driver replacing charles

[keen brook]

Where went Charles?

[hearty sable]

the backrooms

i just replaced him ... he just disappeared

[hearty sable]

LATIFI >>>>>> STROLL

cant spell stroll without to L's

[keen brook]

But why him and not Carlos?😭

[hearty sable]

~~Definetly not because i would like him to succeed more ~~

at times i just swap positions with carlos so carlos can get the win

when we are in a 1-2 position

cuz ngl carlos be lackin

soo many qualifyings where he qualifies like P10 and then he goes out of the points in the race while i got pole position to win

in the end we finished 1-3 in the standings .... so gutted

[keen brook]

Going into the qualifying, Oscar needs now his 3rd ERS and gets a grid penalty.

As Zhou crashed and the SC was deployed I straight decided to pit Oscar for fresh and it paid more than off.

[viral cloak]

hello

anybody played f1 2012 before ?

[steel current]

Another goddamn mechanical failure

I was flying too, I was on track for P1

Ffs man

How tf does this happen so often

6 mechanical DNFs, 14 races

[slate depot]

most satisfying thing ever

[snow epoch]

bruh i thought this channel was f1 memes wth

[alpine dune]

Managed get a rare Hamilton engine failure. Well, Lewis getting a mechanical failure is a rare sight for me.

[keen brook]

For me he had 2 or 3.

One as my teammate at RB and one at Ferrari I remember.

[opaque rose]

Who is at fault

[steel current]

Racing incident

Ferrari should’ve backed out, but red bull should also leave more space

Dangerous to go side by side through eau rouge

[subtle marsh]

what did u think would happen if u full sent his rear tyre

[steel current]

He didn’t full send it tbf

He expected the red bull to leave space, but in that situation it’s safer to just back off and stay in the slip stream

[subtle marsh]

i wasnt bein like deadass but at the end of the day it was his fault 🤷‍♂️

[steel current]

Racing incident, both drivers are at fault

[keen brook]

RB caused it, Ferrari could've avoided it.

So I would say racing incident.

After 2nd watch I have to say the Ferrari comes into the corner in a quite bad angle.

[steel current]

The best thing to do in that situation is back off, the redbull is off line and comprised his run through eau rouge and radillon, so you back off at eau rouge, sit in the slip stream and you’re ahead by the end of Kemmel straight

[keen brook]

yeah

Backing off is the way to go as the car behind.

[icy nest]

that or the barrier

[steel current]

Majority of the F1 23 player base has very short attention spans, and lack the patience to set up moves. Most of them take the Senna quote too literally and just send it at every opportunity because that’s how it works in almost every other racing game

[icy nest]

yep

[steel current]

you could go into any online lobby right now, and not overtake anyone on track and I guarantee you you’ll get a podium

[icy nest]

i got punted off while in the lead in Formula Vee in iracing this morning by somone WAY off line

[steel current]

Because everyone just sends it and crashes into each other. If you just drive smooth and cautious, easy top 3

[keen brook]

yeah

[icy nest]

yep

[keen brook]

Just playing the survival game.

[icy nest]

yeah

until you get to higher levels

then you actually get to race

[steel current]

Fr, I started ranked placements on F1 23, and because I’m in the rank where people can’t even drive straight, it’s so easy to win. I get pole by 2 seconds, and I’m gone by the end of the first straight so it’s just coasting to the finish

[icy nest]

would be me

except i turned off racing line

and everyone with it on is faster than me

[keen brook]

I don't even bother to play ranked.

[icy nest]

yeah

[steel current]

I just play MyTeam on pc now, mods are fun

[icy nest]

iracing is even more annoying though cause peoples punting me off affects my safety rating

[steel current]

Currently own Porsche, driving with Porsche livery, V8 engines, and full Porsche uniforms etc

[icy nest]

funn

[steel current]

I wish there was a way to create my own engine though, none of the 4 engine suppliers really make sense to have for Porsche

[icy nest]

merc

other german manufacterer

[steel current]

I went with Honda, because my main sponsor for Porsche is TAG Heuer, which is also Red Bulls main sponsor

[icy nest]

ohh

[steel current]

True, but porsche and Mercedes are rivals, and also the Mercedes engine sucks ass

[icy nest]

oh yeah

[steel current]

That’s the downside to being creative with MyTeam, there’s a limit to what you can do

there’s so many different teams you can be with mods, like Ford, Porsche, Lamborghini, even Koenigsegg

But if they were actually F1 teams, they’d have their own engine supplier

And it wouldn’t make sense to have a Lamborghini with a Ferrari engine for example

[icy nest]

right

i mean ford is making their own engines

with redbull

[steel current]

From earlier in the season, I’m at Singapore now

Starting to have a look at what other livery’s I can use for the next season

[keen brook]

I'll start a My Team career soon as a Mercedes customer team.

Like I did in previous years with Ferrari in F1 2021 and Alpine/Renault in F1 22 I sign a partner deal with Mercedes, so I get their engine and only sign drivers from their academy.

[steel current]

I like this idea, and have toyed with doing it a few times, the only problem I find is there’s already so many Mercedes customer teams

[keen brook]

That means I'll start into season 1 with Vesti as my teammate.

[steel current]

I wish Mclaren was a works team because they are the only team besides Alpine that isn’t connected to any other academy

[keen brook]

Then for season 2 Esteban will give his comeback in my team after being there in F1 2020 and then in season 3 George will be my teammate.

[keen brook]

same with Alfa/Sauber

[steel current]

They’re connected with Ferrari at the moment

[keen brook]

only engine supplier

Like Mercedes is for McLaren.

and for Aston

[steel current]

They use ferrari academy, Giovanazzi was Ferrari’s but driving for Alfa

[keen brook]

Williams also has their own academy but quite strong connection with Mercedes.

nope

Gio wasn't in the FDA.

Back to the time Gio was there Ferrari had the decision about the 2nd seat but that's not the case anymore.

[steel current]

I swear Gio had ties to ferrari

Isn’t he their reserve now because of his ties to ferrari

[keen brook]

He's affiliated with them, yes.

That's why they sent Mick to Haas because there they could still place their academy drivers.

[steel current]

It’d be weird if Alfa didn’t have ties with ferrari considering they are both owned by Stellantis in the production car world

I know it’s not really the same, but still

[keen brook]

Alfa is also only a sponsor.

The team itself is still 100% Sauber.

well, now not anymore because of Audi

[steel current]

I thought it wasn’t Sauber until next year

[keen brook]

The team name wasn't Sauber until next year, yes.

[odd talon]

alfa romeo is just a sponsor

team is sauber through and through though

[steel current]

Huh

Interesting

[keen brook]

Alfa is only a sponsor with exclusive name rights.

[odd talon]

yup

[steel current]

I hope Sauber go back to their blue and yellow

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @steel current, you're now on lap 10

[steel current]

Felipe Nasr vibes

[odd talon]

but that sponsorship is going away next year hence the sauber name returning temporarily until audi come in

[keen brook]

and very big space on the car

[odd talon]

i’ve always preferred them being sauber anyway

[keen brook]

I really like this years livery.

[steel current]

Having alfa/alpha both on the grid was kinda annoying tbh

[odd talon]

alfa romeo have been great with the liveries yeah

[steel current]

Having to say the full name to differentiate

[odd talon]

if we ignore the horrendous kick one

[keen brook]

The thing is, next year both is gone.

Alfa and Alpha

[steel current]

What’s happening to alphatauri

They going back to toro rosso?

[keen brook]

They get a new name.

[odd talon]

name hasnt been confirmed

[keen brook]

and identical sponsors than RB

[steel current]

Wonder what it’s going to be this time

[odd talon]

but they’re rebranding

[steel current]

Some random ass brand

[odd talon]

hugo boss were interested i believe

[keen brook]

yes

[steel current]

Hugo Boss 💀

[keen brook]

Also they get everything from RB what the rules allow.

[steel current]

How tf do designer brands have anything to do with f1 is crazy to me

[odd talon]

tommy hilfiger have done wonders for the mercedes merch tbf

[steel current]

Alphatauri, then Hugo boss

[keen brook]

I found out Hugo Boss actually has a past in motorsport.

[steel current]

Yeah but it’s not Tommy Hilfiger Mercedes, that’s the difference

[odd talon]

true

that would go hard though

[keen brook]

And the liveries from them actually looked really nice.

[steel current]

Bit of a mouthful

Would be nice to see Vodafone back

The chrome Vodafone Mclaren was hard

[odd talon]

true

[steel current]

I’ve seen a Vodafone porsche concept that looks nuts

[odd talon]

with the weight saving thing they’ve got going i can’t see chrome being too popular in F1 past one offs

[keen brook]

Well, we have Chrome McLaren.

[odd talon]

that livery was beautiful tbf

[odd talon]

the orange worked a lot better than i thought it could

[steel current]

These two are stunning

I want porsche in f1 so badly

As their own team

[odd talon]

second one has big RBR test livery vibes

[keen brook]

I really liked the Chrome one-off.

[odd talon]

i think they should try and do it as a full livery next year

not sure how much chrome paint adds weight wise but if they can make it work it’d be great

[keen brook]

Actually with the 60 year anniversary this year that's kinda a missed opportunity.

[steel current]

It’s so beautiful

[odd talon]

yup

[steel current]

Speaking of silver, I miss the silver arrows

The black Mercedes have kinda worn off for me now

[safe tree]

I do that in f1 2021, with no assist, is it a good move ?

[lean escarp]

what are those camera settings

its like you're in the back of this thing

[karmic sun]

what handling do u guys think was really good?

out of codemasters,

I really think F1 2018 was really good with handling.

so smooth and agile, felt like I could really go

[vapid garnet]

F1 22 💀

[karmic sun]

[keen brook]

F1 23

F1 2020 was decent as well.

[steel current]

I can't find the mod that allows me to create my own race calendar

[vapid garnet]

Just code your own F1 game

[steel current]

im not that smart

[candid acorn]

Nostalgia

[cloud parcel]

what time do i need to pass monza?

to get special helmet?

in new event

[odd talon]

codemasters or manager?

[steel current]

[odd talon]

Latifi locked up into the wall and out of FP1.

Then Vettel locked up into Stroll, taking Stroll out of FP2 and getting a 3 place grid penalty.

Then Oscar locked up into Esteban, causing light front wing damage on Oscar's car and light front wing damage on Esteban's car, getting a 5 second time penalty.

Then Magnussen locked up into the wall and out of FP1.

Then Bottas locked up into the wall and out of FP1.

Then Oscar locked up into the wall and out of FP1, causing severe chassis damage and terminal front wing damage.

Then Schumacher locked up into Albon, taking Albon out of FP2 and getting a 3 place grid penalty.

Then Oscar spun into the wall and out of FP2, causing a left rear puncture, terminal gearbox damage, light chassis damage and light suspension damage.

Then Sainz spun into the wall and out of FP3.

[odd talon]

classic singapore

that and baku are always the most insane weekends for me

[keen brook]

Spa is also very chaotic for me.

Last race there I had 8 DNFs.

[odd talon]

spa is always a snoozefest for me on manager

no clue why

literally zero incidents

[keen brook]

For me the bus stop chicane is always pure carnage.

Then Stroll locked up into Leclerc, into the wall and out of Q1, getting a 3 place grid penalty.

[odd talon]

[keen brook]

Then Esteban spun into the wall, causing severe front wing damage and light suspension damage.

[odd talon]

they weren't kidding when they said this car was horrific

outqualified by both williams and an alpha tauri

[keen brook]

[fleet temple]

realistic 2P career in LV

[fleet temple]

standings before AD

[snow epoch]

how did it go? did you win the fight for 2nd place?

[steel current]

Am I missing something? The game declared Max as the WDC winner for this season already, but there's still 138 points left, and he's 133 ahead? Doesn't that mean Perez could still theoretically beat Max

I know obviously max will end up winning regardless, but he hasn't won yet, mathematically

Unless I'm missing something

[keen brook]

yes

But the game forgets to count Sprint points.

I had the same.

Bottas was already declared as champion but mathematically hadn't won it yet.

[steel current]

Ah so I'm not going crazy then

that's good to know

other than max's dominance, the wdc is actually fairly close

[keen brook]

The game thinks there are only 124 points to get.

Because it forgets to count the COTA and Brazil Sprints.

[steel current]

63 points between 2nd and 6th, would be a lot to play for if max didn't just run away with it

[keen brook]

Sounds like irl.

[steel current]

true, game very realistic

[keen brook]

Very interesting title fight if Max wouldn't exist.

[steel current]

max hasn't finished outside of the top 10 all season, it's crazy

neither has Perez tbf, if you ignore the one DNF he's had

[keen brook]

In my career he's horrendous.

He hasn't won a title yet.

He even was a free agent for half a year.

[steel current]

jesus, your games broken

[keen brook]

He went mid-season to Ferrari in season 1.

Then after season 2 Hamilton went to Ferrari and made Max a free agent.

from Red Bull

[steel current]

I've just realised, if I didn't DNF in Baku, Australia, Zandvoort, and austria, I would've had an extra 60 points, which means theoretically I'd still be able to win the title

[steel current]

the driver transfers are weird, I signed Piastri midway through the season and all hell broke loose

[keen brook]

For me I stayed at AT mid-season but the driver market around me escalated completely.

Just because Debris came back onto the grid.

[steel current]

Sainz went back to Mclaren to replace Piastri, Russell went to Ferrari to replace Sainz, Bottas went back to Merc to replace Russell, Ricciardo went to Alfa Romeo to replace Bottas, then Alonso went to Alphatauri (probably the weirdest move) and he was replaced by my old teammate Drugovich at Aston Martin

7 moves all because I signed Piastri

[keen brook]

So what happened was Debris returned to F1 at Alfa, Bottas went then to Mercedes, Hamilton then to Red Bull, Verstappen then to Ferrari, Sainz then to Alpine, Ocon then to Aston Martin, Alonso then to McLaren and Piastri became a free agent.

[steel current]

Piastri free agent

[keen brook]

I didn't even move at all.

[steel current]

I swear Norris never moves

[keen brook]

Then for season 2 I went to RB.

[steel current]

I wanted to sign him mid season but forgot to bid and lost out

[steel current]

i love doing driver career modes like that

I start in F2, do a full season, then move to an academy, usually Red Bull, and then spend a season or two at the feeder team, then go to the main team

partially why I wish Mclaren had an academy team

[keen brook]

So then Pérez went to Williams, Albon then to Haas, Magnussen then to AT, also Nico retired so Piastri went then to Haas as well.

[steel current]

That is even weirder than mine wtf

Perez at williams is crazy

Albon at haas is even weirder

[keen brook]

Then mid-season Pérez went to McLaren.

[steel current]

That kinda makes sense

[keen brook]

Williams signed then Theo and Alonso became a free agent.

to then retire at the end of the season

[steel current]

It would've made more sense if Perez went to Alfa Romeo, as he started his career there

[keen brook]

Then for season 3 RB signed Liam, so Hamilton went to Ferrari and Max became a free agent.

[steel current]

Hamilton at ferrari wtf

how has hamilton not retired yet is what I wanna know

[keen brook]

Then mid-season RB fired Liam and Max returned.

[steel current]

hes like 50 at this point

[keen brook]

Then at the end of season 3 Hamilton retired.

So for season 4 Zhou went then to Ferrari, Tsunoda to Alfa, Stroll to AT, Debris to Aston, Sargeant to Alfa and Williams signed Drugovich.

[steel current]

all your driver moves start off logically and then just fall off a cliff

[keen brook]

So that's how the grid now looks like:
Mercedes: Bottas, Russell
Red Bull: Vettel, Verstappen
Ferrari: Leclerc, Zhou
McLaren: Pérez, Norris
Aston Martin: de Vries, Ocon
Alpine: Sainz, Gasly
Haas: Albon, Piastri
Williams: Pourchaire, Drugovich
AlphaTauri: Magnussen, Stroll
Alfa Romeo: Tsunoda, Sargeant
Free Agent: Lawson

[steel current]

wait vettel wtf

[keen brook]

I'm Seb.

[steel current]

oh

that makes sense

for the most part, the grid kinda makes sense

until you get to aston martin

and it just goes downhill from there

Debris at aston martin is nuts

Alpine is fine

Haas is chaos

williams isn't the worst, but pourchaire wouldn't be there i dont think

alphatauri is ridiculous

[keen brook]

Williams just signs rookies and is extremely successful.

[steel current]

and alfa romeo is also ridiculous

[keen brook]

Drugo even has a podium already.

in just his 2nd F1 race

Theo outscored Logan already the previous season.

[steel current]

Felipe is actually not bad, but I just got fed up of him sabotaging me

too many occasions where he'd ruin my qualy laps, or slow me down in races instead of letting me past to attack

[keen brook]

Yeah, the game should give you more control about your teammate.

[steel current]

Team orders should be a thing

[keen brook]

yeah

[steel current]

I'd be fine with it working both ways

like if Piastri is faster than me, I let him past and just follow along in his slipstream

[keen brook]

Like even from a driver POV just give us radio messages to say he should let me past.

[cunning sentinel]

My grid in my 3rd season of career mode;
Red Bull: Verstappen, Sainz
Mercedes: Me, De Vries💀
Ferrari: Leclerc, Norris
Aston Martin: Stroll, Hulkenberg
McLaren: Piastri, Bottas
Alpine: Ocon, Ricciardo
Alfa Romeo: Zhou, Pourchaire
AlphaTauri: Gasly, Tsunoda
Haas: Magnussen, Sargeant
Williams: Albon, Drugovich

[keen brook]

Wait, Russell isn't at Mercedes and Norris isn't at McLaren?

The impossible things happened.

[cunning sentinel]

Russell retired at the end of season 2

I’m not even joking I have no clue why

Hamilton went as well

[steel current]

wtf

[cunning sentinel]

both mercs💀

Alonso went at season 1

[steel current]

wait where the hell is norris

[cunning sentinel]

I know it makes no sense

[steel current]

oh ferrari

[cunning sentinel]

Ferrari

[keen brook]

For me Nico retired in season 1, Alonso mid-season in season 2 and Hamilton in season 3.

[cunning sentinel]

That makes so much more sense

I have no clue why Russell retired

He lost the title fight to hamilton in season 2 so maybe he just quit

[keen brook]

For me Lawson had his F1 debut with RB.

[cunning sentinel]

That’s a dream debut for the youngster

[keen brook]

He was the worst teammate I've ever had.

[cunning sentinel]

💀

What was his best finish

[keen brook]

He couldn't manage to score points in one of the best cars on the grid.

[cunning sentinel]

The entire season???

[keen brook]

He had like 12 points.

[cunning sentinel]

that’s actually so bad

[keen brook]

2 points finishes only

[cunning sentinel]

how many did u get

[keen brook]

over 100

[cunning sentinel]

surely he was fired next season

[keen brook]

He was mid-season.

[cunning sentinel]

good

[keen brook]

Then Max returned.

[cunning sentinel]

feel like F1 23 sometimes doesn’t fire bad teammates

[keen brook]

After being free agent for half a season.

[cunning sentinel]

let me guess he was good

[keen brook]

He was better.

[cunning sentinel]

did he outperform u

[keen brook]

But worse than you would think he is.

[cunning sentinel]

where was red bull in the R&D chart?

[keen brook]

2nd best I think.

[cunning sentinel]

Oh

So were u fighting for the title or

Was another team dominating

[keen brook]

yes

[cunning sentinel]

Who was first?

[keen brook]

Mercedes dominated the entire career.

[cunning sentinel]

ah

[keen brook]

George champion in season 1 and 2 and Bottas in season 3

[cunning sentinel]

feel like merc get kinda overpowered in career modes
