f1-games

[crisp zenith]

It’s so shit to learn

Keep spinning

[lyric scaffold]

i can do a few tracks without traction control

but for example i can't do shit on monaco

or even singapore

bahrain i think is the easiest track to learn playing without tc

atleast for me

but atm im happy where i am, i improved a lot since f1 23

on f1 23 i had to play with 60 ai

now i can go up to 103

but atm im doing career at 88-92 so i dont have to mess too much with the setups

at 103 im useless without setups 😭

[foggy egret]

F1 23 mods😍

[lyric scaffold]

Amazing update

now i cant even launch the game

idk what happened

now it starts up, black screen then closes

i managed to open it

but now i can only play it in windowed

tf is ea on at this point

realized that running an anti-virus scan while trying to open up the game isnt a good idea

nvm ea i love you

[brazen nebula]

oh no

i had to go mid career mode race yesterday and now ive read the patch notes

i might be screwed

[fluid compass]

Anyone down to just practice tracks 1v1 in F124? Dm me! 🙂

[rigid hollow]

Can anyone tell me wtf is up with AI straight line speed in F1 24?

Like i just got overtaken by two drivers on the final lap

[floral apex]

i think Leclerc had a 10 place grid penalty in my Brazil race
he finished P2 between me and Max in the sprint but started the race in 12th

wanted to make sure my strategy is perfect so i told my engineer to keep providing me with updates and talking a lot more

[floral apex]

The race started out wet and is slowly drying
Safety car is deployed, should i switch to slicks?

[wary tide]

Development go brrrr

[floral apex]

bruh the track is fully dry and somehow there are 6 cars still on inters

just won the race after lifting the entire final lap

[brazen nebula]

on my f1 24 career ive completed talks with mclaren for 2025

after p1 in championship in basically equal cars

or ive not won it yet obviously

i have 4 races left

but its still a 3 way title fight

and im leading over verstappen by about 8 points

[floral apex]

42 points seperate me and max
two races left and somehow i havent secured the championship

apparently max still has a chance if i fail to score for whatever reason

[brazen nebula]

btw the 3 way title fight is off

after spa im on 134 points in the lead with max at 131 points and lando is on 113 points

[floral apex]

thats a 3 point gap between you and Max, and 18 between Max and Lando

[sullen needle]

Must’ve had low morale.

Swear to god this guy is never happy.

[brazen nebula]

miami grand prix results

2024 season btw

first podium since monaco 2021

or monza 2021 mb

lando is now equal rated as lewis and fernando

lewis must be very happy atm

he only took a high salary to move to mclaren but now we are ahead of mercedes by a long way

turns out though our car is shit but i have the best overall driver lineup atm

[heavy shoal]

How is the new handling?

[brazen nebula]

on f1 24?

[heavy shoal]

no on assetto corsa 3

[brazen nebula]

lol

kerbs are more violent especially sausage kerbs

but if you run higher ride height then it isnt really noticeable

[heavy shoal]

ah

heard people say it's more oversteery

[brazen nebula]

not by much

[fallen crater]

What's assetto corsa 3 duh

The 2 didn't even come out

[brazen nebula]

yes it did

acc

[fallen crater]

It's not ac 2

[heavy shoal]

it was sarcasm..

[brazen nebula]

fair enough but its second game under the assetto corsa name

[fallen crater]

I just asked😭

[brazen nebula]

how is stoll faster than fernando every race yet he is so much lower rated

[floral apex]

verstappen is being really nice here letting checo finish ahead of him

[brazen nebula]

innacurate 2024 season

perez in points

[floral apex]

its the money

[brazen nebula]

lawrence changed the car to run on money instead of fuel

dead serious though how is he doing it

[floral apex]

Game logic

Im doing Vegas in F1 23 noe

[brazen nebula]

my only guess is they have upgraded parts on lances car

and not on fernandos

[floral apex]

likely

[brazen nebula]

cause you can do that on f1 manager

[floral apex]

but its happened for every race so far

[brazen nebula]

yeah

not in this fp2

alonso stood on business and got fastest lap while on mediums

absolute unit

[floral apex]

i bumped my ai difficulty up to 79

i was just doing a lap and then i spotted this tv screen playing a version of the F1 opening titles

i only just noticed there are TV screens playing a version of the opening titles

Squished De Vries

[nocturne vortex]

is this crash my fault or the AI

(im the merc)

[floral apex]

an onboard would be really useful in analyzing that

[nocturne vortex]

ok yeah yeah normal verstappen win but

ALONSO P2 HAMILTON P3

[boreal yarrow]

just got my first f1 game today and it’s really fun

[floral apex]

so i increased my ai difficulty

[floral apex]

damn P9 in Q1

[agile osprey]

Guys is it possible to race on f1 with a g29 steering wheel well?

Is there an attachment I can buy or something to make it almost f1 wheel?

[floral apex]

damn Lando Norris

how did this happen on the formation lap

lance stroll just retired and brought out the VSC

[zinc totem]

Next time I'll wait longer

[floral apex]

just got the safety car deployed in Las Vegas
somebody hit a wall on the back straight

[zinc totem]

Lost 10 places btw

[floral apex]

this is an actual battle that's happening in my race right now

The Haas is in P4, the Alfa in P5, I'm P6 and the AlphaTauri is in 7th

WHAT

i actually have a chance to win now

just secured the championship with that win in Vegas
mainly because Verstappen got stuck at the bottom of the points

bet you'd never expect this top 10

i misclicked and failed to save the race replay :/

red bull domiannce go brrrr

[signal surge]

Illegal overtake most likely

[floral apex]

i dont know what caused the red flag at the end of the race because i misclicked and failed to save the replay

there was a yellow flag in the 14-15-16 complex so i think someone either hit a wall or spun out but was able to continue after the red flag

[floral apex]

Logan Sargeant's got his eyes set on red bull now

[pine dune]

The only RedBull he's gonna get is the drink

[floral apex]

im in Q2 for abu dhabi

and i got a notification saying Hulkenberg is out of the session

because his left front exploded after hitting Lando

[plush elk]

I race with G920 near 80 AI so you're good

I just suck btw

[floral apex]

0.006 seconds between max and lando

talk about a margin

[plush elk]

"LANDO WE CAN BE WORLD CHAMPION I SAID"

[floral apex]

Me: secures the championship in Las Vegas
Crofty in Abu Dhabi:

[plush elk]

It's default commentary I think from since he was world champion in 2022

[floral apex]

LOL WHAT

they red flagged the race because max spun in the chicane presumably after colliding with lando

and that blocked the entire track

FOUR WIDE

just finished abu dhabi

and i found the cause of the early red flag: max verstappen spun out by himself

F1 game ai logic: Lando cannot pass Max here

and then because i didnt know what was happening here I ran into the back of Lando Norris

ok so i had a chance to change up the season in 2024 but i pressed the wrong button lmao

welp

season 1: 23/23 for Red Bull

Okay so the silly season was insane this year

Lewis Hamilton left F1 and was replaced by Lando Norris

Sergio Perez returns to F1 after spending one year off (because I replaced him in 2023), replacing Hulkenberg at Haas

Daniel Ricciardo replaces Valtteri Bottas at Alfa Romeo

Valtteri Bottas replaces the outgoing Norris at McLaren

Nico Hulkenberg is in a familiar place

and Fernando Alonso replaced Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri/VCARB

[midnight current]

REAL

[floral apex]

i got the f1 24 mod

[warm yacht]

is buddy racing estaban ocon

[heavy shoal]

Break your front wing?

[floral apex]

I am Max Verstappen now

[midnight current]

got slammed into the wall

the joke is "give me space"

[heavy shoal]

oh i see

[boreal yarrow]

24 lol

it’s fun. i’m enjoying it so far

[floral apex]

i reverted back to vanilla f1 23 for a bit

Fernando Alonso in the AlphaTauri

and here is Valtteri Bottas in the McLaren

daniel ricciardo in the alfa romeo

Lando Norris in Mercedes

Welcome back, 33

[floral apex]

I expect more competition in this new season
We probably won't go 23/23 again

[brazen nebula]

its true

mercedes do it as well with zhou

williams with yuki

alfa romeo

basically all of the teams on the grid do it

apart from me at mclaren and red bull who make sure both cars are the same

[thorn hollow]

Max Default Number only happens if someone else is a Champion rather than Him

I always got this Happen in my Career Mode between F1 22 and F1 23

In F1 22, Max move temporary to Mercedes and then Next Season, To Haas

No, I'm F1 24

[topaz pollen]

Someone up for coop career? I’m German so I prefer German speaking people :-)

[river mesa]

well there goes my p2 in the championship :/

[floral apex]

this happened to me in f1 23... because i was the one that took the championship from him

[lyric scaffold]

would anyone be interested if i made a F1 24 league? there would have to be a academy tho. before i open i would need staff anyway

[upbeat creek]

yes im interested

[raven fern]

I'd be if my game would launch once at least

[lyric scaffold]

i started a lando career mode, after winning 2 races i had a secret meeting with redbull

[upbeat creek]

same

fr

mine was with mercedes

[lyric scaffold]

but idk, lando in redbull would be so weird imo

but who knows, if at the end of the season mclaren is better than redbull i aint signing

[floral apex]

I got Fernando at AlphaTauri and Lando at Mercedes in F1 23 so anything is possible

[floral apex]

Lewis irl: leaves Merc to go to Ferrari for a few seasons
Lewis in my f1 23 save: yeah ima just retire

[upbeat creek]

in my save mclaren stayed better than redbull and i didnt sign for mercedes or redbull

i won the WCC btw

[floral apex]

in my save i replaced Checo in season 1 and in the next season he came back as a Haas driver

[lyric scaffold]

i think i should increase my ai level next race

this is on imola btw

[upbeat creek]

how much ai u have?

[lyric scaffold]

88

put my lap on the ai difficulity calculator thing

it say that i should play on 99

quali

with this lap

wish i was able to do consistent 1:15 laps lol

f1laps

idk if its accurate tbh

24 but i got 23 aswell

but id have to download 23

which would take a bit of time i think

ill start the download rn

nope

i play on pc, ea

idk if its possible to play coop like that

but if it is, we could give it a try

chonky mclaren goes hard

[upbeat creek]

u play on controller on wheel

[lyric scaffold]

wheel

[upbeat creek]

alr

[lyric scaffold]

my precious g920 is on life support

or atleast the pedals

imola is in da bag

Checo at Haas

[lyric scaffold]

🧻

i won

[floral apex]

FP1 in Bahrain, season 2

[floral apex]

FP2

Haas is 3rd best team right now lmao

I wonder why Fernando alonso decided to move from a high midfield team to an actual backmarker

[normal bolt]

for those who play f1 games, whats the best input aside from a steering wheel if you dont have one?

[quaint prairie]

I’m not huge on video games but recently started playing F1 2023 and I just use a controller

Works fine enough but would like to see what it’s like playing with a wheel and a peddle

[floral apex]

so in my regular career mode, i'm unable to dominate properly and i engage in a lot more battles - i didnt lap anyone until lap 30+ in Austria
in my Braking Point 2 playthrough however, i started lapping cars after 13 laps... it feels like the ai's at 40

[heavy cliff]

idk i am quite loving my hamilton career

simulated all races till britain (i started that on friday), signed with ferrari and driving on

[floral apex]

normal difficulty in braking point 2 is too easy for me apparently
i managed to lap everyone up to P8 and finished a whole minute ahead of P2... in 17 laps

[floral apex]

Normal difficulty in braking point 2 is too easy
Challenging+ difficulty is where it's at

[coral ember]

[drifting canyon]

Life flashed before my Eyes

[void plaza]

atp all im playing is monospoto on mobile

i might buy a ps5 just for f124

hows the handling rn

does anyone have a monospoto account with all the tracks unlocked 🙏 its the only f1 game i can play

[coral ember]

I just bought the game

after 3 hours

noticed nothing really

It's enjoyable

But the fact that I'm a casual player maybe ruins it for you

[void plaza]

ill probably also play casually

with a controller

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @lyric scaffold, you're now on lap 5

[keen brook]

controller

[junior dune]

Qualified 200th for Esports in 2022 and got this livery 💪

[flint marsh]

This is a banger. Still have it.

[coral ember]

Cool

[lyric scaffold]

as someone who no lifes the game since i bought it, its pretty good

im using all assist yeah, but compared to the handling on release its waaay better

for me its almost like the f1 23 handling, but a bit better

[coral ember]

dont listen to the bad reviews

the game is hella good with the updates

Enjoyable

[lyric scaffold]

anyone can say anything f1 24 is way more fun than f1 23

especially career mode

[broken nest]

bro this ain't a banger, it's easily the worst of the classic F1 games

[lyric scaffold]

MURICA RAHH

[strange arch]

Ok

[coral ember]

'm playing as hulkeburg rn

so its full pain

[lyric scaffold]

dw im uncomfy af when driving today

i almost got passed by 4 cars

but i was able to somehow get it back

im way slower than i am usually

but probably because im tired af

[coral ember]

same

same

bro I'm exactly the same

[lyric scaffold]

i usually drive pretty aggressively

but now idk

but still good enough to get p3 in quali and win the race

man i do way too many mistakes 😭

[thin python]

Wrong chat, you should check out the iracing discord/and or forums

[lyric scaffold]

pretty good season so far

[floral apex]

i decided to take a break from career mode to play braking point 2

[lyric scaffold]

braking point 2 is pure perfection imo

[lyric scaffold]

someone already made the f1 movie livery into the game and it looks awesome

[junior dune]

thanks

[heavy cliff]

are you a contender?

[lyric scaffold]

Yep

[floral apex]

so i wasnt paying attention during a braking point 2 race and just had the strangest crash

i somehow ended up like this

[coral ember]

Casual controller players which difficulty yall choose

[coral ember]

difficulty?

[lyric scaffold]

94 atm

Depends on the track kinda

On maps like monaco, singapore i use 88 or sometimes 79

[coral ember]

Good luck bro 💪

[keen brook]

100

[coral ember]

Good to know

Thanks guys<3

[coral ember]

how u guys get this liveries

I got some from the pass

These are mods right?

[lyric scaffold]

Its a mod from overtakegg

[coral ember]

oh

[lyric scaffold]

I just downloaded cuz the car looks amazing, i probably wont do too much in myteam

My team car feels awful to drive

[coral ember]

I really like the game

I dont get the hates

idk maybe i didnt played the early days

[lyric scaffold]

Even early days wasnt too horrible imo

[floral apex]

Braking Point never fails to impress me with its storyline

if Nyck somehow pulled this off irl he'd still be in F1

update: Unfortunately the AlphaTauri had no pace and Nyck only finished 5th (still pretty darn good)

[polar vault]

i’d

[keen brook]

I remember this and I had to laugh as I saw him leading.

[floral apex]

so nyck leading in that BP2 chapter is actually hard coded in

[keen brook]

yes

That's how the scenario there starts.

[stark hill]

Hello guys

How is the f1 24 game goind

I didn’t understand it

[floral apex]

Im doing an f1 23 my team save, but instead of the usual red/white team color combination i always go for, i decided to opt for a black/green combination

The colors are ALMOST kick sauber, i just picked a darker green instead of a lime neon green

[west widget]

I let him win every time

[gloomy harness]

I just had Lance Stroll win a race.

[floral apex]

checo almost did a sakhir 2020 there lol

[stark meadow]

Is F124 worth the money?

[gloomy harness]

Depend

S

[stark meadow]

What’s the pros and cons of the game

Bec I’m still on 23

[floral apex]

Driver career mode is updated with team orders, a rating system for the player

contracts are updated with secret meetings, and i believe are based on your rating

[floral apex]

crash physics go brrrrrr

most normal sight

[covert cypress]

We not gonna talk about sainz,Perez,and max

[floral apex]

i actually got an AI tie in fp1 lol

[gloomy harness]

perez just won the title

because of how chaotic that race was

[covert cypress]

No way

[gloomy harness]

Me and albon tied once in q1

@covert cypress

[covert cypress]

Good for him

[floral apex]

now he can retire in peace and give ricciardo his seat

[covert cypress]

Yuki

[gloomy harness]

Liam

[covert cypress]

No yuki gets rb seat

[floral apex]

Carlos

[coral ember]

yeah it's pretty fun imo

[brazen nebula]

in my 2024 season on f1 manager stroll is like 3rd in the championship behind charles and max

hes not far off either

ffs lewis had a big crash with albon

OMFG BRO

THEY HAD THE SAME EXACT CRASH THAT TSUNODA CAUSED WITH PIASTRI LAST SEASON

im also pissed i spent 2 mil on a new ers part and now its already broken

lol tsunoda did the same thing as albon to ocon

so thats both williams out of the spanish gp

vsc while lando was in his pit window lets go

[vast sage]

hello! im trying to learn to drive without racing line on F1 24 and cant figure out what my braking refference should be in bahrain turn 8? any ideas?

[brazen nebula]

i still use the racing line for some tracks but my advice would be to turn it on and look for references around where it tells you to brake

sometimes you can brake later or not even brake at all for some corners

[keen brook]

Yeah, sometimes it tells you to lift for a corner you can take flat.

[brazen nebula]

maggots and beckets for example

with a setup you can take the first 3 flat

[keen brook]

or turn 7 in China

[brazen nebula]

then a lift

yeah

but the racing line tells you to brake

[vast sage]

yeah i found one but its too far away to look at lol

[brazen nebula]

yeah but you can just imagine a line at the place you need to brake

like say theres a corner you need to brake at 150 meters for

but theres only 200 to 100 meter boards

you just imagine where the 150 meter board is

[vast sage]

i wanna find something that i can rely on

like

some stuff going out of my screen

[keen brook]

Or if there aren't any use the curb as reference.

[vast sage]

or if theres a curb

or a painted track

[brazen nebula]

you can just look up a track guide

the griddrop guy did one for every track on f1 23

but it would still apply to f1 24

looked up the guide for bahrain

he said brake about 2 car lengths after the lenovo board

[vast sage]

oh

thanks

[sick oyster]

Guys im gonna get a pc but idk if I should get f1 24 or 23 cuz 24 is like 90€ and 23 is 30€

[brazen nebula]

get f1 23 for now

[sick oyster]

Alr ty

[brazen nebula]

f1 24 is overpriced as hell

only difference is car handling and career mode

[vast sage]

id say F1 23 if you want realism but F1 24 if you just wanna check out the new features

[brazen nebula]

im goated

i mean its no wonder they have high confidence

[keen brook]

same for me in my save

[brazen nebula]

although lewis' car is running the c-1 chassis

and sidepod

cause he crashed in spain

im worried cause spain was the first race that piastri started crashing

but its lewis

so idk

[keen brook]

For me Lewis had his 1st DNF in Spain.

But it wasn't his fault.

[brazen nebula]

yeah

albon just forgot to brake into t1 on like lap 4

[keen brook]

He got taken out by Ocon.

[brazen nebula]

in my 2023 season it was yuki who did it to piastri

and then in this seasons race at spain yuki is at williams and he did the same thing as he did last season

but to ocon instead

[keen brook]

For me in 2024 Oscar took out Tsunoda I think it was.

and himself as well

also Spain

[brazen nebula]

ngl i thought hiring lewis would be a big game changer

but lando is now basically equal

and outperforming lewis because lando is crazy at tyre management

and lando also has maxed out control level

which is probably why hes crashed twice in a year and a half

[keen brook]

For me Lando is still the number 1 driver.

Lewis is just not worlds away like Oscar was.

[brazen nebula]

yeah

im definitely gonna try and hire max after lewis retires

because felipe drugovich is at average development rate and he wont get that fast by the time i need him to

[keen brook]

I also have Drugo as reserve lol.

[brazen nebula]

and hopefully i will have a front runner car next season as well

because im putting half my wind tunnel and cfd time into research from the start of the research period rather than towards the final 6 races

rn i have a situation like irl red bull

my car is shit

but i have good drivers to cover that up

i mean red bull only has 1 good driver but like

same thing

[keen brook]

I also invested a lot of time into research.

To have a car to fight for the title in 2026.

[brazen nebula]

is it working?

[keen brook]

If you do a lot of research you gain a lot.

We went from 2024 to 2025 from still the backmarker McLaren is at the start to best of the rest behind Red Bull and Ferrari.

[brazen nebula]

i heard wind tunnel and cfd time is really powerful on research

[keen brook]

Yeah, it really is.

[brazen nebula]

does it just make your upgrades really good

or is it like a design upgrade but saved for next season

[keen brook]

It decreases the loss from reg changes and also gives a little booster to future development.

[brazen nebula]

ah

atm after my front wing research comes in i should be cleared from the loss from the reg change then

[brazen nebula]

omfg lewis just crashed in the same way piastri did AGAIN

your joking me

i just boxed

and now theres a safety car

red flag

[brazen nebula]

i replaced drugovich for pourchaire now

hes slightly better and younger

so he has high development rate

[brittle mantle]

carlos sainz took flight and flew into leclerc, both ferrari out 💀

leclerc luck

[keen brook]

Time to go back to the manager after almost 2 weeks again.

Going into the qualifying, Lando needs now his 4th engine and also gets his 5th gearbox as it's brand new and it's the last race of the season.

[coral ember]

Just won the championship with albon 🙏

and alpine is the only one interested

fuck off

[keen brook]

my pit crew are so shit

i always get a pit stop issue with norris

2.293 for Lewis

[brazen nebula]

and i have to put them on fatigue reduction to try stop it and it still keeps on happening

[keen brook]

2.534 for Lando

[brazen nebula]

anyways on my f1 24 career i was leading until a safety car with 4 laps to go and i sped in the pitoane by accident

so no points and im out of the championship

[keen brook]

damn

[brazen nebula]

but its still a fight for p2
going into the final race

need a perfect race weekend i think

[fallen crater]

wtf? i retired and the race results are these...

[keen brook]

goated stuff

[fallen crater]

i dont even know how

[coral ember]

istg im fuming because of sargent

i lost the team championship because he was so bad

[brazen nebula]

f1 24 career is so much fun man

and then I went to haas

I cooked verstappen with williams shit car

and still no one wants albon

Abu Dhabi race result of my all teams career (2nd team McLaren)

With that result Charles Leclerc is for the 2nd time champion of the world and Ferrari is the 2025 constructors champion.

[brazen nebula]

im not even gonna lie i read the word for drivers in your language as fuhrer and started thinking the game was up for world domination

that might be too far im sorry

[lyric scaffold]

albon wdc 2024 this is a sign

[lyric scaffold]

valid

[floral apex]

first q1 in myteam mode

yuki managed to impede two drivers somehow

[coral ember]

fr fr

[lyric scaffold]

i hate that i cant share wallpaper engine between my 2 steam accounts

i feel dumb for buying f1 24 on ea 😔

[floral apex]

One of the biggest issues the f1 game career modes have is a lack of customization - such as putting team sponsors on your helmet in driver career or adjusting sponsors in myteam

[lyric scaffold]

same issue in f1 24 tbh

u only have 1 helmet, which looks trash

and it feels so lifeless

like official drivers say many things when u win, dnf and things like that

when u dnf with custom character they wont say anything, when u win they will only say the 1 thing u chose lol

and its just annoying

thats why i started playing as lando cuz atleast this kinda gives a bit of life to the game

[floral apex]

and customization also happens to be something F1 manager did well in

[lyric scaffold]

for example when i finished 2nd, and oscar 3rd

lando was happy for the double mclaren podium

[lyric scaffold]

we need a good helmet customizer

where we can put sponsors and things everywhere we want

and tbh its just looks weird to be in a helmet without any sponsors in any team

also myteam needs a huge update

its awful atm

i mean i can use mods but man

having to use mods to make the car look decent is just meh

[floral apex]

I'd rather F1 Manager 24 myteam than F1 24 myteam

[lyric scaffold]

f1 manager is pretty boring for me

i want to drive, not to look at how ai drives

[floral apex]

fair enough

F1 game has to step up its customization

[lyric scaffold]

yeah

it might be just me but id like interviews in future games

like in breaking point

[floral apex]

player driver interviews did exist in past games

[lyric scaffold]

and for the love of god give more scrips to the commentators at the start of the race, it plays the same script every single time

[lyric scaffold]

i saw it in f123 for the first time

but tbh i didnt play many f1 games until 2024

[brazen nebula]

no it isnt lol

[lyric scaffold]

my first f1 game i think was f1 2014 when i was 10 lmao

[brazen nebula]

f1 manager 24 will be

but the previous games have no customization

[lyric scaffold]

and ngl i think we need damage model thing

[brazen nebula]

only cosmetic thing that you can have your say in is your name

[lyric scaffold]

it annoys me that when i hit a wall the tyre breaks off but just stay attached to the car

not flying away or anything

and when i hit a wall with 300kmh i just break the front wing like wtf

• the barriers are made out of tyres, and when i hit them they magically turn into concrete walls

[floral apex]

and lets not talk about the crash physics

[lyric scaffold]

tbh these arent too important

im just annoyed by the smallest things lmao

[brazen nebula]

f1 manager crashes suck so bad lol

[floral apex]

most normal f1 crashes

[brazen nebula]

on f1 manager 22 i did a career at ferrari and one time charles said in the radio

“i locked up”

[floral apex]

But did he

[brazen nebula]

and for 5 seconds i was watching his onboard thinking

is he on crack

then he locked up

bro predicted his lockup from 2 corners away

also i did the sprint race on qatar which is the final round of the season

and now i have rain in the actual qualifying

wish me luck

[floral apex]

He should start predicting ferrari's strategy choices instead of his own lockups

[brazen nebula]

lol

[floral apex]

i like how in my crash with valtteri, his front wing stayed on his car somehow

[covert cypress]

Is it weird that every time I do a part of the engine penalty I never get it

They don’t give it

[floral apex]

Like when you have to order a part outside your allocation?

[covert cypress]

Ye

[floral apex]

I think its something where you have to use current parts for 6 weekends before you can get a new one

I saw that tip show up a few times

[floral apex]

that happened with me in Singapore
No penalty for a 5th gearbox
but when i got a 6th one 3 races later it gave me a penalty

[covert cypress]

Yeah this is insane

The Ai just dosent fight

[brazen nebula]

depends what ai level you use

what one do you use

[keen brook]

Abu Dhabi F2 feature race result of my all teams career (2nd team McLaren)

[covert cypress]

It really dosent

They don’t fight each other

It’s not like there’s huge gaps

There basically sniffing the fucking engine

[keen brook]

final F2 championship standings

[brazen nebula]

i find it does

personally i use 92 ai level and they fight me a lot but then i lower it to 80 or 85 and they just dont even defend

[keen brook]

With that result Virtuosi is the 2025 F2 constructors champion.

[brazen nebula]

btw who should i sign with for 2025

red bull, mercedes or mclaren

would go with ferrari because like history and stuff

screw it ill go to mclaren

[covert cypress]

Mine is I think

85

Cause I’m in a fucking Williams

Slow ash

[floral apex]

I have mine at 80 and ive had some incredible battles with other cars

[covert cypress]

But they still don’t fight

[brazen nebula]

i keep my ai level the same no matter what team now

[floral apex]

Although i have noticed there have only been long drs trains

[brazen nebula]

and to make sure i dont get bored i usually go for midfield teams rather than backmarkers

[floral apex]

my ais tend to battle only in the corners

almost everyone's engine inlets: ⭕
Ferrari: 🔺

[brazen nebula]

to put an extra twist on season 2 im gonna stop using the racing line

[floral apex]

stick to one side of the road like you're in a road car

[brazen nebula]

no the assist lol

also theres been a proper piss up in the silly season

so first up

magnussen retired

i went from mercedes to mclaren

perez replaced me

lando norris replaced perez at red bull

george russel is back in the sport

and piastri is there to replace magnussen

this is really funny

[floral apex]

Oh

[covert cypress]

Wanna see my career

[floral apex]

My silly season involved:
Lewis Hamilton retiring from F1
Norris replacing Hamilton at Mercedes
Bottas replacing Norris at McLaren
Ricciardo replacing Bottas at Alfa Romeo
Alonso replacing Ricciardo at AlphaTauri
Hulkenberg replacing Alonso at Aston Martin
And the return of Perez - replacinf Hulk - at Haas (as i had replaced him in season 1)

[brazen nebula]

lol

[pine dune]

Lads, I have a hard decision to make in Driver career mode. I can either leave Aston (I won the drivers title with then) and go to Ferrari, Merc or Penske Verizon McLaren, or just stay with Aston

[brazen nebula]

depends

if your teammate is alonso i would stay at aston

[pine dune]

It's Lance, that's why we didn't win the constructors

[brazen nebula]

but if its lance then you cant win contructors

[covert cypress]

Just win every race

And hope the Ai stays inconsistent

[brazen nebula]

yeah but then it doesnt stay fun

[floral apex]

Out of Ferrari, Mercedes and PV McLaren, which one is the better team

[keen brook]

That McLaren name is crazy.

[pine dune]

1st is Ferrari, then Aston, Mercedes and then McLaren

[brazen nebula]

ferrari then

[keen brook]

Ferrari

[brazen nebula]

go to ferrari

[pine dune]

Only RedBull is above them

But they're like equal

[floral apex]

ferrari seems like best option

[brazen nebula]

if you stay at aston then lance will haunt you

[pine dune]

And RedBull don't want me cause I beat Max in the final race of the season to win the title

[floral apex]

"You took the WDC away from us, screw you mate"
- red bull, probably

[pine dune]

For real

And I had talks with Ferrari right after 3rd round after getting P2 in a shitbox Aston after b2b P7

[floral apex]

in my driver career i started at red bull and won the championship ahead of max in Vegas

[brazen nebula]

if ferrari want to sign me then i will go to them

but they didnt want me

i would have gone to red bull tbh but i would have no recognition

he is literally 97 rated

[pine dune]

Welcome to Ferrari, Ollie Bearman

[covert cypress]

I think I’ve won almost every race but only because I’ve done some highly illegal things

[keen brook]

Due to an issue the suspension simulator must get closed for 8 days.

[covert cypress]

I usually win by maybe 5 or less tenths

[floral apex]

I managed to get Red Bull 23/23 wins in my first season lol

[brazen nebula]

lol

[floral apex]

Sometimes the AI strategies in f1 23 confuse me

[brazen nebula]

ok now im gonna sweat time trial so i can learn jeddah with no racing line

[floral apex]

McLaren and Aston Martin refusing to switch to inters despite the inters being faster in Japan... McLaren actually could've finished on the podium if they had pitted

I think after im done with Red Bull i'm gonna switch to McLaren or something

or maybe i could go to Alpine before going to McLaren

[pine dune]

So, we had some driver moves after my move to Ferrari

[lyric scaffold]

holy shit

[pine dune]

Sainz went to Alpine to replace Ocon (pretty realistic, could happen irl)
Alonso is back to replace me
Ocon went to VCARB, Ricciardo free agent
Pourchaire to Williams to replace Sargeant

[lyric scaffold]

does this count as photo finish

[pine dune]

Holly

[lyric scaffold]

[pine dune]

It does

[keen brook]

yes

Same gap was George and Esteban at the Austria Sprint last year and that was a photo finish.

[lyric scaffold]

wtf

how did i win then

well idk

whoops my team found out and they arent happy

[floral apex]

why does lando look like hes going "wtf am i doing here"

[lyric scaffold]

and why does horner look way older than in real life wtf

It's not making any sense

I won the championship in williams with albon then went to haas and won the championship by 1 point!
and then no team except vcarb wants me

Crazy

ooo

[coral ember]

Sainz and Albon are now teammates

[zinc totem]

Da boyz

[lyric scaffold]

damn this game gonna put me in a wheel chair

[coral ember]

I'm no life rn

[lyric scaffold]

i have to lower my chair, cuz otherwise the wheel is uncomfy af

[coral ember]

23 hours playtime in 2 days 😭

If that chair makes a pitstops it's gonna be faster than sauber

its so weird to see checo in mclaren lol

are you gonna try to get 23 and 33 back together?

[floral apex]

3-wide in myteam lol

what is going on here lol

okay i am having a mighty epic battle with both Astons here

this battle however has allowed the top 6 to get away so now theres a giant gap

[heavy shoal]

maybe you should focus on your battle

[floral apex]

the color green is a curse
it was my very first pit stop and we had a pit stop issue

[keen brook]

certified Kick Sauber moment

[robust bison]

how would you say f1 24 is

[keen brook]

If I could see my play time, it probably would also be over 100 hours already.

But thanks to Sony that's not possible on PS4.

[floral apex]

this is just sad

Piastri's got a hole in his front wing endplate and is still faster than me

[covert cypress]

Haha

Investigate him

[random storm]

I made him win

[floral apex]

man what is my luck
i had three major upgrades put through R&D and ALL of them failed

[brazen nebula]

theres been a proper piss up in q1 for austria

p6 and p7 after q3 but lando with a 10 place grid penalty for new ers part

[lyric scaffold]

imo its pretty good, so far i would say this is my favorite f1 game because of the career mode
it misses some stuff but other than that i think its really good

damn i just realized that i aint getting a moza r5 lul

checked how much it costs, with the shipping its almost 600€

[brazen nebula]

bro i want to get a moza wheel and wheelbase but the problem is only the r3 is compatible with xbox

and i would just use the 3nm but i want to use the other wheels like the fs wheel or gs or ks wheel with it but they arent compatible with it on xbox

when i get the chance im gonna get the fanatec csl dd with the mclaren gt3 rim and csl pedals with the load cell

ive been using a g920 for a year and a half and now its looking a bit old

i got a f1 wheel mod for it so it looks like an f1 wheel but the grips are alcantara so now theres permanent marks from where my hands have been

[coral ember]

Bro Albon is like 97 RTG and still no good team wants him

Crazy

Next job after 99 Albon is Sargent to glory 🇺🇸 💪 🦅

[primal vessel]

When will be next sale for f1 24

reget not buying it yesterday @ 40%

[coral ember]

God knows

I bought it on the 40 percent on steam

Champions Edition tho

[robust bison]

You could just buy standard edition and then use creamapi to unlock the DLCs

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @robust bison, you're now on lap 5

[lyric scaffold]

i already regret joining redbull

no norris, we are not coming for redbull

[brazen nebula]

its a 1-2 for mclaren after the first round of 2025 on f1 24

and hopefully i can win the championship this season

monaco is next

and yes i do 10 race seasons

NAH BRO

[bold linden]

I usually do 16 race seasons

[brazen nebula]

IVE BEEN APPROACHED BY ALPINE

[bold linden]

By the damn tractors

[brazen nebula]

thats actually vile

bro i just won a race and i have a front runner car

and a backmarker is approaching me

vcarb have a better car than alpine bro

anyways its looking good for me atm cause im good around monaco

its also nice having recognition now since my teammate isnt a 7 time world champion

[lyric scaffold]

im going back to mclaren next season

i think im gonna go back to 50% or 25% races cuz 5 laps races are boring af

[brazen nebula]

i do 35% or 50% races

depends on if i like the track or not

ok i raised the ai now because im good at monaco

its at 100 now

for all i know i am not getting a podium this race

[lyric scaffold]

idk if its a thing but ever since i joined redbull the car handling feels weird

or im just bad

[coral ember]

There is no dlc and Champions Edition costed less

[coral ember]

Goat gets the move he deserve

[lyric scaffold]

damn this race was painful

max had to pit on the first lap because he broke his front wing

then he dnf'd in 3rd lap

yuki helped me a lot here

he pitted 4 laps after me

he was p1 , i was able to overtake him and alonso was only able to overtake yuki after 3 laps

after that it was easy to make a gap

idk how oscar went from p3 to p5 in just 1 lap tho

[brazen nebula]

my teammate is so bad

i got pole somehow

and russel was down in 17th

nearly 3 seconds off

and its not like the ai was too low

cause verstappen was only half a tenth slower than me

[coral ember]

Road to 99 Albon is very close chat

💪

[brazen nebula]

someone needs to find the lowest rated driver in career mode and try get to 99 in an f2 season and one f1 season

if its possible

[keen brook]

The lowest rated drivers are Cordeel, Benavides, Boschung and Nissany.

All 4 have a 58 rating.

[brazen nebula]

nissany was one of the best f2 drivers on f1 22 or 23

he always fought me in every f2 grand prix thing i did

how he has fallen

[covert cypress]

That takes a good 3 seasons

[keen brook]

Nah, he was always shit.

[covert cypress]

Depending on how long f2 season was put

[keen brook]

Just how they perform on-track isn't accurate to their rating at all.

[covert cypress]

Why are f2 drivers so inconsistent

I don’t watch but results are inconsistent

[keen brook]

Reverse grid makes it automatically look inconsistent.

[brazen nebula]

if you do the max f2 season length and full f1 season then maybe like a season and a half

[keen brook]

And also equal cars is a big factor.

[covert cypress]

Yeah

I did like 6 races In f2

Since the cars are so fucking slow

And f1 I do 16

[lyric scaffold]

f2 is weird

[keen brook]

The F2 cars in this years game are awful.

[lyric scaffold]

the last time i played i was playing with 88 ai, i started from the back of the grid

and in 5 laps i was in the lead somehow

[brazen nebula]

yeah they suck so bad

its like

[keen brook]

They were so much fun to drive in the previous games.

[lyric scaffold]

for some reason they are awfully slow around corners

[brazen nebula]

extreme oversteer on corner entry

like uncontrollable levels of oversteer

then mid corner it refuses to turn and you almost forget its a downforce car

and on the exit its back to dumb levels of oversteer

and adding tons of rear wing does nothing

[covert cypress]

Fax

[keen brook]

I think the handling model from this years game just doesn't fit to the F2 cars.

[covert cypress]

F2 is just un drivable

[keen brook]

Like the brake is way too powerful.

[covert cypress]

I’m turning mid corner and it just dosent turn

[keen brook]

You can barely avoid lock-ups.

Like you have to lock the tires to slow down enough.

[brazen nebula]

the f1 car does the same with default setups just not as bad

[keen brook]

I actually don't have that issue anymore with the F1 car.

Kinda got used to it.

[brazen nebula]

yeah

[keen brook]

But I just couldn't get to grips with the F2 car.
