f1-games

[upbeat creek]

when does the new patch come to the game?

[raven fern]

if F1 23 then i might be able to play but im learning the game after switching from F1 22

[floral apex]

i already on 23

[raven fern]

i'm already on 23 as well but still learning the game

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @raven fern, you're now on lap 10

[floral apex]

idk why my hours keep changing but

yesterday it was at 261

i have a post game summary thing on steam now cuz i accidentally took a screenshot of my r&d screen lol

[coral ember]

F1 24 BACKGROUND MUSIC IS SO CHILL MAN

[fiery mantle]

My williams is actually so insane

It's only Austria season 1, and it's on par with merc

On the rnd thing

I just went 1st in SQ1

[brazen nebula]

btw i deleted my mercedes career save

starting a new one with vcarb so i get a challenge

[fiery mantle]

Albon P16 👍👍

[brazen nebula]

and to mess up more stuff

ive stopped using the racing line

i tried doing that at the round 1 of the mercedes career of 2026

and it was way more fun

[fiery mantle]

Oml 😭😭

P4 in SQ2

And i did ONE timed lap

I'm raising the AI to 109 for the rest of the weekend

P4 in SQ3

I could get another podium in the sprint

[fiery mantle]

Who's fault is this? I'm fully blaming Leclerc

[brazen nebula]

leclerc is at fault for sure

blud was not making that move

[fiery mantle]

fr

not like i was squeezing him either

[brazen nebula]

he was barely alongside

[fiery mantle]

my wheel was straight before the contact

[fallen crater]

Usual big brain ai moment

[brazen nebula]

he took sennas quote literally

but not literally

cause the gap didnt exist

[fiery mantle]

not the first time AI bins me in a sprint race

[fallen crater]

Doesn't overtake in a drs zone but does there

What difficulty are you playing on?

[fiery mantle]

109 atm

[brazen nebula]

DANG

im at 90 rn

[fiery mantle]

I was playing on 108 before Austria

[fallen crater]

That's why ai's so aggressive

[brazen nebula]

i usually do 92

[fallen crater]

I used to play on 110

[brazen nebula]

but im learning to play without racing line so i have to lower it for a bit

[lyric scaffold]

im gonna try a career with sabuer

imma make them win everything

[fallen crater]

But I quit for a year and when I came back I struggled with 90

Now I play on 100

😭

[brazen nebula]

at monaco i have to use 100 now

[lyric scaffold]

im still stuck at 80

every day im more washed lol

[brazen nebula]

cause im just unreasonably fast at it

no clue why

[fallen crater]

For some reason I suck against ai but I'm good against players

[lyric scaffold]

is 100+ ai even beatable with assists tho?

[brazen nebula]

yeah

[fallen crater]

I've done too much competitive sim racing

[lyric scaffold]

then its just my huge skill issue

but imma take the challange, ill play on 104 with sauber

[brazen nebula]

with abs you could defo go against 100 ai

[fallen crater]

Depends which ones

[brazen nebula]

for me its the opposite

[fiery mantle]

same

[brazen nebula]

i avoid playing online cause open lobbies

[lyric scaffold]

same

but probably because im playing w bad players

[fiery mantle]

i can shit on 105+ easily but i lose to ppl who play on 80 ai

[brazen nebula]

so ive played career mode since f1 22 released

[fallen crater]

I love playing online because I love trolling dirty drivers

[lyric scaffold]

there was only 1 or 2 times when a player was like way faster than me

[brazen nebula]

but now its hindering me badly

i started karting last year

[fallen crater]

Also I usually play f1 for the league races

[brazen nebula]

and now im petrified to overtake

cause idk what they are gonna do

[fallen crater]

Nice

[brazen nebula]

and last time i went i got whiplash

[fallen crater]

Rentals?

[lyric scaffold]

i think my biggest issue is that im scared to take risks

im trying to play every scenario as safe as i can

[brazen nebula]

and some dickhead was blind

and turned in on me in a flat corner

[brazen nebula]

yeah

[fallen crater]

Nice

[lyric scaffold]

but maybe my ers management sucks

[brazen nebula]

im usually top 5 at my local track in cadet karts

[fallen crater]

This semptember I'm starting karting tok

Too

[lyric scaffold]

ill start it next summer

[brazen nebula]

but they do stuff weird

[lyric scaffold]

if i even have the time for it oof

[brazen nebula]

atm the track record in cadet karts is 38.5

[fallen crater]

Rentals are weird

[brazen nebula]

i got a 38.9

[fallen crater]

Especially if the owners don't care about managment

[brazen nebula]

they asked to take a photo of me in the kart so i got an extra lap and they put it on their facebook

[fallen crater]

BTW I'm racing in tillotson

The difference between rentals and race karts is insane

The g forces are insane

[brazen nebula]

i wish i could do race karts

i just dont have the money

and im starting very late

next year ill be able to go in the senior karts

my dad said if i got into karting at 7 or 8 he would of bought me a race kart to try and do motorsport

but i was too late

[fallen crater]

Same

Imo its never too late

Remember Ben Keating

[brazen nebula]

fair point

and a few others

like jimmer broadbent and supergt

[fallen crater]

Yeah

The thing is always money

[brazen nebula]

yeah

[fallen crater]

Also you just need to have fun to enjoy it

Don't think about money if you have fun

[brazen nebula]

atm i only have 1 close outdoor track and cause i live in a town in the middle of nowhere

and the races arent competitive at all

but i cant compete yet

cause still in cadet karts

but my dad who isnt very fast at a teamsport which senior karts are 13+ so i can go in them

we raced eachother and im faster

[fiery mantle]

i finished the sprint in P16

[brazen nebula]

but he can beat the race laptimes

[fiery mantle]

p4 -> p16

[fiery mantle]

you should see what happened in miami lol

[brazen nebula]

and im only 2 seconds off them

[fiery mantle]

i remember when i went karting for the first time, i felt sick after the session for like 2-2.5 hours and my feet and hands were numb

[fallen crater]

Depends also from that

But im racing in a team so that isn't that big of a problem

[brazen nebula]

first time i ever went karting i vomited cause i hated the engine vibrations

and i made it 2 corners before spinning it

[fiery mantle]

I also spun when i did it

I spun like half way through the session because i sent it into a corner, but there was a bump on entry

So i lost it and had to be pushed back around by a worker

Also, i finished P11 in Q1

Albon was 9th

P7 in Q2, Albon P9

My lap was a 1:04:234, Albon's lap was a 1:04:617

[fallen crater]

The rentals jump like crazy

Normal race karts are the grippiest thing ever

[brazen nebula]

wish i could get a chance

[fallen crater]

You feel like going out of the seat on fast corners

[brazen nebula]

WTF

im doing the mexican gp on f1 manager

and gasly spun

and then norris just stopped on track for a good 12 seconds

and norris didnt overtake

at least his rear wing is fucked from his teammate rear ending him

serves him right

[fiery mantle]

P4!!

1:04:127

Albon P10, 1:04:603

[brazen nebula]

look at this guys rear wing lmfao

[fiery mantle]

Albon just can't hit the true potential of the 2024 Williams

[fiery mantle]

😭😭

[daring quest]

Some duct tape and you should be good to go 👍

[brazen nebula]

ocon has no front emplate

[fiery mantle]

@brazen nebula @floral apex you reckon i can get a podium at Austria?

[brazen nebula]

maybe

[fiery mantle]

i had good pace in the sprint until some goddamn monagasque driver ruined it for me 🙄🙄

[brazen nebula]

this happens way too much

for those who dont know

when a driver is in this position

they refuse to budge until the end of the straight

so even if your going full push trying to overtake

theres no point

[vague willow]

i really just tried overtaking at the monaco hairpin in the wet

i mean it kinda worked i got the overtake done but not in the most legal of ways

[brazen nebula]

average monaco overtake

[vague willow]

fr

ive just changed the weather to Very Wet instead to use full wets and have a even worse race (im gonna divebomb at the hairpin again wish me luck)

[fiery mantle]

Let's GO!

P4!

Albon P8

Williams are getting such good points now

I'm above Stroll in the WDC now

I'm also 79 rated now

I might give myself a resource point nerf for the rest of this career

And give the ai some more resource points

I'm dominating Albon in our rivalry too

[floral apex]

Is this Alpine's low drag setup?

[fiery mantle]

I'm P10 in Q1 for the British GP

1:27.242

Albon was 1:27.126 in P8

P7 in Q2, 1:26:801

Albon P10, 1:26:866

Perez and Hamilton out in Q2 😂

Hamilton might have to move over for 2025

P6 in Q3, 1:26:489

Albon P10, 1:26:929

Lando on pole for his home race

[fiery mantle]

Lap 10, Leclerc crashes into Albon

Full sc

And a 10 sec penalty for Leclerc

[fiery mantle]

P5!!!

And the fastest lap aswell

Those last 3-4 laps of this race, were THE best racing i've ever had on any F1 game

[primal vessel]

Did a little oopsie

fucking

suprisingly no red flag nor safety car..

[heavy shoal]

💀

did a pierre gasly

[primal vessel]

why tf did it not push a safety car nor a red flag

[heavy shoal]

We can ask EA/Codemasters a lot of things

we may never receive answers tho

[primal vessel]

I already have SC and red flag on increased

[heavy shoal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

that's a good question

[tough bolt]

That is NOT a little oopsie.

[fiery mantle]

bro... HOW??

[heavy shoal]

Minor contact with large consequences imo

like Austria

[fiery mantle]

Last 2 racing laps

I was battling Sainz for like 4-5 laps but those were the best moments

[floral apex]

The FIA decisions in this game make no sense

no SC/VSC/Red flag on incidents that should need one
A SC/VSC/Red flag on incidents that shouldn't
some corners let you cut them or go off track
Others they call you out instantly

[covert cypress]

What’s crazy is Zhou rams into a wall and no sc nothing

Bs

[floral apex]

Sainz throws himself into a wall on the Baku pit straight? no SC needed
Gasly spins out and everyone gets stuck cuz dumb AI? SC is very needed

[eager magnet]

anyone play f1 23?

and do you run any assists?

[floral apex]

Im on F1 23 and i omly use TC and ABS
but thats only because i play on keyboard

[floral apex]

Me on mobile: can drive without racing line but has to use steering and brake assists
Me on PC: can drive without steering and brake assists but has to use racing line

[brazen nebula]

it took until the other day for me to stop using the racing line lol

and im on wheel

[brazen nebula]

two best moves of the bahrain gp on my vcarb career (im on the outside of both of them)

i filmed it on an ipad so quality is shite

i finished p10

after a pit stop issue but i caught up to and overtook yuki into t1 on the final lap

[valid quarry]

Nahh the ai gave me 70% uses soft to do a full ass q lap

[brazen nebula]

icl you have the most aggressive driving style ive ever seen unless your running a time trial setup

michael schumacher would be in awe

[fiery mantle]

@valid quarry you do know that flicking the wheel like that isn't the fastest way to drive anymore, right

and it also murders your tires

[valid quarry]

I know

In all fairness I wanted to test out the setup I made for my career mode that’s what you see here. I know I drive aggressive but in all fairness the flicking I’m doing looks bad bec of the tire wear I’m getting. If I get a normal Tyre set of softs trust me it will look a lot better and will make me faster

[fiery mantle]

If you want a good race setup for Austria, i got one

I finished P4 using it in a Williams

With 109 ai

[valid quarry]

Nah I got one for league racing. And the setup I used for the video worked great so I’m gonna stick to it but thank you for asking and offering that’s really kind of you

[fiery mantle]

Yeah, no problem

I find gatekeeping setups to be really stupid

[valid quarry]

Yeah I feel you on that one

[fiery mantle]

Who's video was it if you remember?

[valid quarry]

It’s from simracing Centre

[fiery mantle]

You mean this guy? Cause i didn't find anything on yt with simracing centre

[primal vessel]

my front left tires are always fucked 😭😭

[valid quarry]

No not on YouTube @fiery mantle it’s a paid setup on google

[primal vessel]

whats causing it to be this fucked?

[fiery mantle]

I'm almost always struggling with rear tyres

[fiery mantle]

Check your toe, camber, suspension and tyre pressures

[valid quarry]

“Esport level setup” it’s not I have used better setup then what they have but their setup are still good

[primal vessel]

I suffer on front left, I js use setups from steam workshop

[fiery mantle]

Tyre pressures should almost ALWAYS be maxed out

[fiery mantle]

Ohhh

[valid quarry]

Yeah

[fiery mantle]

My setups are from this guy

Have been since 2020

And they work well

For me

[valid quarry]

Yeah I used to do the same as well

I can give you the setup I have from simracing. I only have 3 do

[fiery mantle]

It's fine bro, i don't league race

I just play career mode and time trial sometimes

[valid quarry]

You don’t? Ah ok as does are league race setups lmao

[valid quarry]

Fair

[fiery mantle]

I used to in F1 23, but my internet was so shit that it just didn't work

I took part in 3 races, and i finished 1

[valid quarry]

Oof

[fiery mantle]

2/3 races my internet died mid race

[valid quarry]

Never had that much problem with my wifi. Well I had one race where I started p4 but at lap11 I went from p2 to p8 bec the game froze and lagged me out and then it froze again so I went from p8 to p14 I ended up in p11 that race all because of the gsme teleporting me back

[fiery mantle]

One of those races was Austria, and my internet dying actually changed the race a lot, because the leader put his car on AI and my car was stuck in t2/t3, on the exit kerb

[valid quarry]

Still won the championship do with 3 points🔥

[fiery mantle]

The leader's car stopped behind mine, dropping him to 10th even though my car was ghosted

[fiery mantle]

W

[valid quarry]

4 way title for 14 races was pure pain

Fun

By

But*

Pain

[fiery mantle]

I was challenging for a win in my first f1 23 league race, it was fun

[fiery mantle]

Although i was involved in a 1st lap incident and then got spun around later on like lap 10, i still led the race at the final few laps

Until an SC came out, and everyone pitted for fresh softs, EXCEPT me

[valid quarry]

Nice. The best I got in my first race was p8😭 I think the best I got in that season for my first league race was p6

Not easy to race when you had no pedals and had to use the shifters as pedals

And buttons as shifters

Had to do what I had to do you know

[fiery mantle]

I finished 6th or 7th at the end

[fiery mantle]

Fair

[valid quarry]

Now I kinda want to record a normal career lap around Austria to show that my driving style isn’t super aggressive

[fiery mantle]

I'm actually the goat in my career save though, ibr

[valid quarry]

How make Champions so far

And what deucer

[fiery mantle]

I got a damn podium in a Williams at Imola

[valid quarry]

Driver*

[fiery mantle]

Custom driver

[valid quarry]

Bro might be him

[valid quarry]

Ahhh aight

What ai do you use

I use 108

[fiery mantle]

108-109

[valid quarry]

Oh ok nice

[fiery mantle]

I even qualified 2nd at China

[valid quarry]

Same as me then

[valid quarry]

In a Williams

[fiery mantle]

Yep

[valid quarry]

Red Bull hire this man

[fiery mantle]

I had this happen on lap 10 though, while fighting for P2

[fiery mantle]

It was my fault, i thought he would've backed off

The British GP was insane in my career though, i fought for P4-P5 the whole race with Sainz

[fiery mantle]

Season 1

So no champions yet

Verstappen is leading the WDC at the moment though

[valid quarry]

@fiery mantle aight i just did a Q lap with the same car and setup. It’s my first lap try of today and I woke up for like 40 mins ago so pls excuse my t1 I was of the track completely

I could restart it and do a actual lap but just wanted to show the driving style compared to the first video I sent

[brazen nebula]

i just realised how smooth i drive

i drive like jenson button but oversteer

[valid quarry]

😭

Then who do I drive like

[lyric scaffold]

The awful handling really shows imo

[valid quarry]

I love oversteer I love when the front is pointy and the back is so easy to loose

[valid quarry]

Yeah well there’s a new handling coming out on Monday

[lyric scaffold]

I still use F1 23.

[valid quarry]

Nice

[valid quarry]

Who does my driving style remind you guys off

If it’s stroll then it’s so over 😭

[brazen nebula]

i try to get a pointy front end and have a somewhat stable rear end

[brazen nebula]

mikhail shoemaker

wait theres gonna be a handling update on monday?????

[valid quarry]

I can’t drive if the nose isn’t pointy and the rear easy do loose

[valid quarry]

Yeah 🥲 so we will need new setups and every leaderboard is being reset

[brazen nebula]

thank god the leaderboards are gonna be reset

they havent been reset yet

[brazen nebula]

but ffs

[valid quarry]

Yeah

[brazen nebula]

new setups

[valid quarry]

This is the 3rd new handling for this game

[brazen nebula]

i still dont have setups saved for all tracks

[valid quarry]

Ea really ducked this game over huh

[brazen nebula]

btw you can swear in this server lol

just not any bad slurs

[valid quarry]

I typed fucked but the autocorrect changed it to ducked

[brazen nebula]

oh lol

[valid quarry]

Yeah

[brazen nebula]

next week will be such an eventful week lol

we will have new handling for f1 24 on monday

we will have f1 manager releasing on tuesday

and then deadpool 3 on friday

[valid quarry]

Might need to turn the ai up to maze

Max*

[brazen nebula]

and probably some other stuff

[valid quarry]

Yeah I can’t wait for manager

I want it NOW

[brazen nebula]

im gonna get it on steam this time

not game pass

cause i cant add mods on game pass

[valid quarry]

I have it preordered

[valid quarry]

Monday

[brazen nebula]

no

today is saturday

the 20th

[valid quarry]

Oh yeah

You right

[brazen nebula]

tomorrow is sunday the 21st

then monday is 22nd

[valid quarry]

Yeah

My bad

[brazen nebula]

tuesday is 23rd

one thing i wish f1 manager 23 had was customizing liveries

but you have to resort to mods

[valid quarry]

At least we are getting it now

[brazen nebula]

but on game pass that doesnt work since the games you get through the xbox app have extra protection against mods

like you install the pak files into the game files and then the mod just doesnt apply

[valid quarry]

Oof

And wait to make my own

Imma mod a 2020 or 2018 racing point livery

[brazen nebula]

lets hope this thing is gone in f1 manager 24

[valid quarry]

Oh ywah the pass thing

Yeah

[brazen nebula]

this happens far too much

[valid quarry]

I omow

Know

[brazen nebula]

and you cant make your driver move

[valid quarry]

I got 600 hours in manager

[brazen nebula]

cause technically hes in clean air

and then he doesnt want to overtake

[valid quarry]

Yeah it’s so annoying

[brazen nebula]

also

this happened in that same race

this was ocons car

he spun and gasly went into the back of him

this was mexico so down the main straight there was no way of overtaking him cause he went so fast lol

[fiery mantle]

P11 in Q1 at Hungary, 1.14.992

Albon P14, 1.15.035

This car isn't looking too good here at the Hungaroring

P11 in Q2 aswell, 1.14.782

Albon P13, 1.14.977

[brazen nebula]

ffs

lando was p17 in quali and lewis p20

cause i was watching a video and forgot to do a second run lmao

but my problem is

albon is defending like its the last lap of the race

so norris' tyre advantage is gone in the sprint

cause he is on softs

verstappen had a puncture and blocked norris nearly causing a crash

ffs

put that man in jail

seems to be happening irl as well

OH MY GOD LOL

THEY MOCKED HIM SO HARD

THEY DID THE ANIMATION THEY DO WHEN SOMEONE HAS A GOOD OR BAD RACE AND IT WAS VERSTAPPEN

HE WAS CELEBRATING

wtf is this podium on lap 4 of the grand prix

russells teammate is 15th

safety car

p9 and p10 everyone has boxed

norris p4

best i think he could of done

car is a shitbox

hamilton p14 shows it

norris went from p15 to p4 lol

pewis pamilton ahh drive

guys do i buy lewis a new engine part

we have 2 races left

i couldnt be arsed to do the weekend do i simmed to the race and got p10 somehowe

lewis has engine wear so im gonna retire him from the races until next season

gonna do the same for abu dhabi gp

goated setups for lewis and lando

p13 with norris in the final round

and as i said before lewis dnf to save the engine

[brazen nebula]

ok what in the driver transfer is this

perez to ferrari

leclerc to red bull

sainz to mercedes

russell to ferrari

ocon to aston martin

albon to alpine

magnussen to williams

italian jesus is back but in a haas

and piastri is back after being fired going into the 2024 season and not getting a seat

but now hes in a haas

[proud gull]

Does turning up the AI thing make them smarter? Because I think Im at 30 % and the cars are straight up running into me just because Im not taking the lines which the game is telling me to take

[cerulean anvil]

how am I dropping behind like this when ive maxed everything out!?

what am I meant to do?

[mortal scarab]

Nothing

[brazen nebula]

yeah they do get smarter

[mortal scarab]

Just await for the rule changes to come late in the season

[cerulean anvil]

oh

[mortal scarab]

Are you like,in the last seasons that can be done in the My Team mode?

[fiery mantle]

i don't understand the AI race pace at Hungary

like their exit speed is INSANE

and they're just overall ridiculously quick

[brazen nebula]

ok quali for the 2025 season on f1 manager 23

if i cant get close to winning the championship this season im gonna try and move to red bull

actually no

this is probably my last season of this career since f1 manager 24 is releasing on tuesday

looking good so far

HOLY SHIT LOL

everyone else had shit laps

but we are fast

oh no

in the race lewis and max are fighting again

they crashed

max is out of a chance to win

same with lewis

[fiery mantle]

P12 at Hungary

Albon P18

Car was miserable, to be honest

[quaint hare]

max out in Q2 (yes i am playing f1 23 cuz f1 24 isn’t compatible on steam deck)

[brazen nebula]

ok so

i have a competitive car

p2

hamilton crashed he could of won

[quaint hare]

oof. That sucks

[brazen nebula]

he finished p8

with max as well

it was getting awfully familiar

[floral apex]

hmmm where have i heard this before?

[brazen nebula]

i wonder

[floral apex]

teamlh just got triggered after that race lol

[fiery mantle]

Williams could be cooking at Spa

I was P2 in Q1, 1.42.736

Albon P5, 1.42.803

[gaunt hinge]

I hit the wall multiple times at Monaco

[fiery mantle]

P9 in Q2, 1.51.921

Some rain came at the start of Q2, causing slow laps for everyone

Albon P15, 1.54.142

Both VCARBs got out on track the earliest, so they went P2 and P3,

Meanwhile both Mercs got on track late, so they ended up P13 and P14

[lyric scaffold]

i dont understand how i can be 1st in every free practice

then i finish 14th in quali

[fiery mantle]

P2!!!

GET IN

INCREDIBLE LAP

[drifting canyon]

How come every time I go to a team they all of a sudden have the slowest car😭

I have automatic r&d enabled

[fiery mantle]

Ferrari never have good reg changes in F1 23

Talking from experience

[drifting canyon]

I was at McLaren before I went to ferarri and they had the 7th fastest car and now when I leave they’re 3rd

[fiery mantle]

I'M STARTING 1ST

VERSTAPPEN GRID PEN

[fiery mantle]

Sc on lap 13, and I'M LEADING THE RACE

[winter holly]

first attempt whoopsie

[fiery mantle]

P1!!

GET IN THERE

WILLIAMS' FIRST WIN SINCE SPAIN 2012

This has got to be Williams' best season since like 2015-2016

101 points in the constructors

[floral apex]

Winning from pole is almost always the easiest way to win

[full ivy]

I swear the hot lap with those shitty cars will give me a heart attack someday

They handle like a truck

[fiery mantle]

I was fighting with Sainz for the whole race

[floral apex]

In my myteam barcelona race i was being a wide boi on the track

Trying not to let anykne through except at the end of the straights where i'd go for the divebomb

[fiery mantle]

I'm kinda interested in making a Tsunoda career mode, yall wanna see stuff from that?

[proud gull]

ok

[floral apex]

Do it

[fiery mantle]

I will later when i make it

[floral apex]

tsunoda at rbr lol

[proud gull]

I just had this weird moment in a qualifying session where some parts of the track had a yellow flag and some parts showed a green flag. I went around the track a couple of times but couldnt see any problem with the track or anything. And although the yellow flags werent stopping I was moving down places because the other guys were somehow able to do good laps.

How is that possible

?

Or was that just a bug?

[fiery mantle]

Or, Tsunoda leaving RB academy 👀

I might even bump the AI up to 110, just gonna be crazy inconsistent

But that's how the VCARBs are anyway

[floral apex]

Probably a bug

I once flashbacked after a crash and my game became bugged in red flag mode

the map permanently showed red and it forced me to slow down at the end of sectors 1 and 2

[floral apex]

True

[solemn fractal]

Made it into f1. Which team?

[wheat radish]

every game is very very unrealistic in these

[upbeat creek]

choose the team that you like the must

[solemn fractal]

I like all 😭

[wheat radish]

frl either way upgrades are gonna make them good

[upbeat creek]

yeah

[quaint hare]

go for a mid/low team so you work your way up

[wheat radish]

there isnt much fun in f1 23 career

[solemn fractal]

I went McLaren 😭

[wheat radish]

unless u go for a realistic route

[upbeat creek]

I picked haas once and made it a rockect ship

[wheat radish]

which is just 0 assists hardest difficulty

[quaint hare]

insane standings after 5 races

[wheat radish]

did this with vcarb then went up to ferrari (5th in car rankings S2)

[upbeat creek]

that's good its one of the bests

[upbeat creek]

that's cool

[quaint hare]

hes in f1 23 tho

[upbeat creek]

I was planning on choosing vcarb once

[upbeat creek]

yeah

[wheat radish]

its like 5th best

or something

in f1 23

it sucks lmao

[upbeat creek]

LOL

yeah mb

it just maxed out mclaren in F1 23 that's why

[quaint hare]

in my f1 23 my team career i finished first in imola. After starting p10

i had the 6th fastest car

and im playing on 90 ai. On controller. Ive never driven on an ai level that high

[upbeat creek]

i did a back to first once with williams

95 ai

[quaint hare]

Thats pretty insane. I once had to do a p15 to p1 in just 5 laps in the rain. I made a mistake and pittet for wets during inter rain. So i fell down to p15 (last) because of one strategy error. And with no drs i went to first

in the 4th best car

canada btw

and i started p1 but was p22 due to a spin at the start because max locked up into me

was an insane race but only 80 ai. But back then that was the best i could do

[upbeat creek]

i did it with williams that was like the 7th or 8th best car

[quaint hare]

Are you kidding me…

Q1 austria

theo. P17. How far do you think behind p16?

correct. Nothing. They drove the same lap time

Theo still kicked out tho and Yuki in Q2

[upbeat creek]

maybe bc yuki did the time first

in real life its like that

[quaint hare]

think so too

i just checked the temperatures of my steam deck

[fiery mantle]

your steam deck has higher fps than my damn xbox 😂

[quaint hare]

its limited at 90 and i cant change it for some reason

[fiery mantle]

i think the steam deck has a fps cap of 90 then

[quaint hare]

no. Some other games run at 120+

ive looked in the settings and its not limited. And the steam deck fps limiter is also disabled

lewis leads the championship ahead of max

[solemn fractal]

Can anyone watch em and analyses my gameplay?

[fiery mantle]

After everyone's Q1 runs,
Tsunoda P10 (1.28.411)
Ricciardo P12 (1.28.698)

After everyone's Q2 runs,
Tsunoda P13 (1.28.529)
Ricciardo P12 (1.28.434)

[wheat radish]

genuinely so confused on the accuracy of these games

how does aston go to 1st best car on the grid after getting 6th in the constructors championship??

[red wadi]

F1 games suck

[wheat radish]

for real

[heavy shoal]

Well don't expect the game to be accurate

it is a game

[wheat radish]

i mean I expect to withhold some sort of logic

[red wadi]

Though I gotta say racing games are falling off

[heavy shoal]

It's fun when there are backmarkers with the fastest cars

[wheat radish]

yeah thats true

but that should be during the 3rd season

or 4th

where everyone is really close

in performance levels

not during the second season

[red wadi]

Look at Forza for example

[heavy shoal]

they've been doing their homework

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat radish]

cant say much really

[heavy shoal]

eating their vitamins

[wheat radish]

lol

this was my result in season 1 with a vcarb so the difficulty thing with ai is pretty loose i had it set to 90 ai

cuz it was my first week of buying ther game

now its at 110

[red wadi]

The only car game I still enjoy is BeamNG

Sadly

[heavy shoal]

wish i could get beam on console

[wheat radish]

I dont really get beamng

got it on steam

tried it a bit

didnt like it that much and refunded it

[heavy shoal]

the ai are much slower compared to previous games

[wheat radish]

will say its better than most racing games

out there

[heavy shoal]

especially f122

[wheat radish]

waaay too slow

[red wadi]

Understandable

[heavy shoal]

i just wanna drive around with real crash physics

[red wadi]

Honestly racing games bore me so much I started playing games I didn't even like a year ago

[heavy shoal]

you dont really get that with any other game

[heavy shoal]

I just play minecraft or something when i get bored of racing games

but then minecraft bores me after a week

[fiery mantle]

about half way through the race now and i am running last

P20

NO pace whatsoever

14 sec gap to P16

i'm cooked

i'm only on lap 28/57 and this race is already down the drain

🔥🔥

i retired

37 sec gap to P19 on lap 31

i am NOT finishing this race

Ricciardo P11

[fiery mantle]

Onto Jeddah then, hopefully a bit more lucky with pace and strategy

[primal vessel]

with vcarb is fucking insane

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @primal vessel, you're now on lap 5

[solemn fractal]

How to improve

[umbral siren]

just use the normal t-cam camera view

[tawny seal]

Why is it offset lol

[tawny seal]

If you see green on the racing line go flat out (I’m jk don’t)

I feel like turn one could’ve been better

What difficulty is it on?

I’m on controller and I struggle with 105 so I usually stick for 101

[solemn fractal]

80

New to steering wheel

[tawny seal]

Figured

The turning felt weird

Maybe that’s what it was

[brazen nebula]

if you have a force feedback wheel which i assume then when it all goes light that means the tyres are slipping

theres a maximum amount of steering angle you can use before the front tyres give up and then turning more wont do anything

[river mesa]

cpu running at 91 degrees we are cooking 💯 💯 💯 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[brazen nebula]

new mcdonalds order, the cpumac

[quaint hare]

i had the same yesterday

[elfin ingot]

e

[brazen nebula]

does anyone elses drs keep closing on the f1 games

ive tried literally everything

i dont have my foot resting on the brake anymore

ive set a deadzone at 10% on my brake

to stop it i have to use drs assist but then i go into any online lobby that seems somewhat competitive they all have assists disabled

[fair girder]

I just got my first win in f1 23 carreer mode and it was in the second worst car

[proud gull]

Could somebody maybe tell me where I can improve or what Im doing wrong?

[quaint hare]

Youre turning into turn 1 too late. And you can take a bit more curb in general

[proud gull]

Ok yeah I see what you mean. Thank you!

[quaint hare]

no problem. Common mistakes. I do them too a lot

[proud gull]

Is 1:19:471 a good lap time for time trial on Hungaroring?

[fiery mantle]

After everyone's Q1 runs:
Tsunoda P6 (1.28.847)
Ricciardo P15 (1.29.639)

Norris who was running in P2 in Q1, has crashed at the start of Q2

After everyone's Q2 runs
Tsunoda P4 (1.28.663)
Ricciardo P14 (1.29.580)

[brazen nebula]

unless your on f1 23 how on earth are you not spinning out every corner

i lose it every single corner in f2 cars on f1 24

the handling for them sucks

[fiery mantle]

Tsunoda P9 in Q3

1.28.578

[fiery mantle]

They're not that bad

Not good but not that bad

[brazen nebula]

whenever i turn the wheel on an f2 car the back end just steps out

[proud gull]

Its probably because of the assists I enabled. Ive only been playing this game since Monday so I need them. Although I think I tried no assists once and it was ok, but then I was in Monaco and it was raining, so I had to turn assists back on. And now my plan is to gradually lower assists as I get better.

[brazen nebula]

for when you disable the racing line i have a huge tip that i found out like a week ago

instead of watching those track guides or whatever

go in time trial and just send it

and then if you brake too early

brake later

/until you find a reference thats close the where you need to

[proud gull]

ok i will do that

can you tell me what traction control means exactely?

I just tried turning everything off (except for ERS and DRS and Pit Assist, but I still see a line. Its just not coloured anymore.

[proud gull]

I get what you mean now F2 cars are uncontrolable without assists

[brazen nebula]

cause the cars have too much power for the tyres grip traction control basically manages the throttle so your just on the limit of not spinning

but its slower cause most of the time its wrong

and you can also hear it

if you look at the throttle input you will see it going full power then not really fast

[proud gull]

That makes sense. I spun a couple of times with traction control off. But traction control off with F2 cars seems uncontrollable.

[brazen nebula]

abs does the same thing as traction control but instead of throttle its with brakes to stop you from locking up

[fiery mantle]

5 laps to go and the top 5 is this

1. Perez
2. Sainz
3. Piastri
4. Tsunoda
5. Leclerc (wing damage)

[fiery mantle]

Top 5 is all separated by around 1.5s, who do you guys think will win?

SAINZ WINS AT JEDDAH!

BEHIND HIM IS OSCAR PIASTRI... AND FERNANDO ALONSO, ALMOST BEING OVERTAKEN AT THE LINE!

BY YUKI TSUNODA, WHO FINISHES P4!

Holy moly

[fiery mantle]

accurate

checo finishing behind a vcarb after having battled for the lead for like 40 laps is crazy

also doing 100% races is a struggle sometimes bro goddamn 😭😂

[soft needle]

Not agressive enough in the entire lap

[quaint hare]

what engine in f1 23 has the highest top speed?

[covert cypress]

depends

i think fully developed is either redbull or aston martin

[manic edge]

https://youtu.be/iToizBKmfM8

f1 vr game?

[quaint hare]

i mean for my team career

[covert cypress]

ooh

i've never played but maybe honda

[proud gull]

Yeah I see that too. And watching it again I saw that there are a lot of curbs which Im not using at all.

[proud gull]

I have everything turned off now as I said, but now I feel like I have to be smoother on the brakes so I dont lock up, but when I do that I loose a lot of time and it also feels very slow.

[brazen nebula]

on wheel if you just let go of the wheel and do 100% brake to let the force feedback sort everything out its fine

but for corners like turn 1 bahrain you want to brake almost fully in a straight line then slowly let off the brakes

so when you hit the apex your no longer braking

easier on a set of loadcell pedals i have a g920 so i suck at it

[proud gull]

I think I have to learn how to properly trailbrake

[brazen nebula]

yeah

FUCK

if i got 1% more setup confidence for norris it would have been an optimal setup

while lewis has 69% (nice) setup confidence

[proud gull]

Same thing as before, but now in an F1 car. This is probably the best I can do for today.

But now assists turned off

Also: I dont know what the line should look like for that one corner where you hear the brake noise.

[mellow eagle]

Can someone tell me if you can change your ai difficulty after u've already started a career?

f1 2024

[covert cypress]

Yes you can

[eternal shell]

who is at fault? im new to the game

[floral apex]

based on what i can see
the alfa romeo turned into the corner and the williams made a failed divebomb, clearly carrying too much speed and going into the alfa romeo

me behind stroll in FP1: why tf is this guy defending

[eternal shell]

Thank you

[floral apex]

FP1

good weather for a duck

i like how when i go into the tire select menu my engineer notices and recommends which wet weather tire i should use

[haughty lake]

reactions 🥶

[floral apex]

i decided to try a tire saving strategy and use only one set of softs in Q1 and Q2 but use two in Q3

[floral apex]

bruh i cant even hit the hairpin that smooth in F1 23
I can make the second part of the pool section a bit faster tho

[jagged harbor]

I'm traumatized in the pool part

The first time I played real racing I kept crashing on the pool section

[floral apex]

There's a bit more runoff in turns 15-16 on f1 23 so its possible to brake less and go over the kerbs a bit

[jagged harbor]

Copy

I don't have a sim rig so I'm playing a mobile game

When I finally have a sim rig I can finally start improving my sim racing skills

[floral apex]

weather changed in the middle of Q3, here are the results

i like how i make a strategy thats slightly faster than the game's

all of the drivers around me are on the hards

i should have the grip advantage

merc keeps stealing my fastest lap 😦

i might be about to win another race if all goes well

pitted early, came out in 17th and i managed to overtake everyone up to 11th and then undercutting up to the race lead

lawson

NO WAY
Hamilton just DNFed
he was the closest one to me after the pit stops being only 3 seconds behind
now there's an 8 second gap behind me

i just noticed how it says "Wall of Champions" on the kerb here

[covert cypress]

Why do they call it that?

[floral apex]

its because in 1999 three F1 world champions all crashed into that wall

Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve

the wall was also crashed into by 1998 FIA GT champion Ricardo Zonta , 1999 CART champion Juan Pablo Montoya, 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 champion Carlos Sainz, 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button, 4-time F1 champion Seb Vettel (although he crashed in practice) and 2013 Formula Renault 3.5 champion Kevin Magnussen (in qualifying)

the wall's mostly only named because three different F1 world champions crashed into it in the same race

if Hamilton, Alonso and Verstappen all crashed into the same wall in the same race, then maybe we could get Wall of Champions 2.0

my lead is in jeopardy because i'm at risk of running low on fuel

lol i didnt give myself enough fuel for the post-race inlap because i didnt expect to be pushing so hard

and i got the W despite almost running out of fuel

podium

Max Verstappen failed to Verstappen and finished 13th from 17th

we have an AI championship fight now thanks to Leclerc's P3 and Max failing to score

how am i better than red bull despite also using the RBPT engine

i also love how if you ignore my team, its Ferrari's engines, then Mercedes, then Honda RBPT and of course Renault at the back

if my upgrades go through then we'll see a huge jump in chassis performance

and we're mid in aero performance

[floral apex]

this myteam save took an unexpected turn
we're somehow winning races now

[wintry bone]

anyone excited for F1 Manager tomorrow?

I might do a holden team

Maybe a Chevy one?

Idrk which

[brazen nebula]

i need to get it on steam this time cause i got f1 manager 23 on xbox game pass and i cant install mods cause the xbox app games have extra protection against them

[alpine dune]

It makes me wonder why they didn't include the option to have reserve drivers as part of your custom team in the F1 games yet

[brazen nebula]

i hope it comes next year

they are most likely going to revamp my team for f1 25

cause what else are they gonna change

[alpine dune]

Like, I would imagine that there is a random event where your teammate becomes unavailable for a couple of races (Think Danny Ric's injury from last year) and your reserve driver will be allocated for the races until your teammate becomes available again

[brazen nebula]

thats what i wish they had in f1 manager

cause the reserve driver doesnt really do anything

[alpine dune]

And maybe even let your reserves drive your car during some Practice Sessions to get some R&D points

[brazen nebula]

and for him to get something like 5x boost in their rating

[digital stirrup]

i just hire the worst driver possible to a max length deal tbh
that way you dont have to worry about it

[brazen nebula]

i try hire a good driver who is 18 or 19 since they develop really fast and then give them all fp1 sessions for my number 2 driver unless its wet in practice or sprint

[hollow tree]

nah so this racing line glitch isn't just the racing line

I decided to just suck it up and ignore the racing line telling me where to break

went fairly well

then I realised

every other car was pitting every lap in thr race

I don't know what's up with all that but it's helpful ig 😭

[brazen nebula]

happens all the time in two player career mode

[heavy shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/meonly-gif-19710542

[brazen nebula]

me and my friend were gonna do a last to first in brazil and fight eachother the whole time

and then after 5 laps they pitted then pitted again the lap after

[hollow tree]

nah it's happening to me in f1 world and the racing line tells me to break when going out of corners, both of them glitch

[heavy shoal]

Codemasters proving yet again they are worthy of the F1 license (lie)

[brazen nebula]

but its been a problem for years

just seems to be worse in f1 world

[hollow tree]

it's been happening since I got the game but it doesn't happen the first time I do a race, was just annoying bc I was using the racing line to try and teach me where to break

if I want it to work I gotta reset the game after every race which isn't fun

[lyric scaffold]

damn somehow i managed to improve by noticing one little thing

every time i break i break until the racing line goes green

i tried a diff thing where when i break, i break until the line starts to turn yellow, at that point i let go off the break and let the car rotate and take the corner then accelarate

it might be the obvious thing to do but i didnt realize it until now

[drifting quartz]

How come in F1 24 I can beat Max fairly easily on 80 AI in an Aston Martin yet somewhat struggle to sometimes on 60 in a Red Bull?

[rigid hollow]

What maximum wheel rotation do you guys use

[brazen nebula]

i use 360

[rigid hollow]

Can someone recomend a track to train trail braking?

[coral ember]

f1 24 update when?

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @coral ember, you're now on lap 15

[fiery inlet]

@coral ember is radin a common name/nickname wherever you’re from?

[fiery inlet]

@supple seal I found another radin

[rigid hollow]

pls

[coral ember]

idk

its my actual name

[fiery inlet]

Ok

It’s just that in another server there is also a radin

And I’ve never heard of that name tbh

[coral ember]

idk bro

how many gbs is the f1 24 update tho?

[keen brook]

On PS4 it's 18 GB, damn.

Schumacher spun into the wall and out of ATA Q2.

[mellow eagle]

how

[mellow eagle]

is that f1 manager or the manager mode

[keen brook]

F1 Manager

Then there was an issue with the jacks at Lewis' pit stop.

[keen brook]

And then there was an issue with the jacks or the pit release at Schumacher's pit stop.

Lando's win in Imola

[steady tusk]

Mick Schumacher at AlphaTauri what in the-

[keen brook]

default F1 Manager transfer for 2024

Like they always sign Mick and Ricciardo for 2024.

[trail solar]

Well shit
Over 75 attempts on the hardest difficulty
But I finally got a win on f1 2012

[lyric scaffold]

it just came out

and istg the game looks sharper

in a good way

[coral ember]

it was 700 mg for me

lmao

[brazen nebula]

new career mode and i just did f2 season

the f2 cars really are that bad

i had like 15 flashbacks per lap in hungary

cause i couldnt stop spinning

[keen brook]

The F2 cars are horrible in this year's game.

[coral ember]

what changed in the update

[keen brook]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/f1/f1-24/news/f1-24-patch-notes-v17

[coral ember]

thanks

[raven fern]

letsss gooooooooooo my 1st point in f1 23 on a street circuit

P8 on baku sprint

and albon that was following me, crashed in the last corner because i didnt go flat out (i had a damaged wing so if i went flat out i would've crashed)

[hard tide]

Any good f1 games for mobile

Rn I play f1 career challenge using ps2 emulator

[floral apex]

a lot of f1 games on mobile are unofficial but two of the better ones are monoposto and ala mobile

theres also RR3

[brazen nebula]

rip f1 mobile racing

it shut down like 2 months ago

[floral apex]

mobile racing games have the best customization features
its a shame they cant be replicated on pc and console games

if i upgrade to long session lengths i can actually get wet race strategy

[lyric scaffold]

basic ass car but i love it

[floral apex]

c a r b o n f i b e r

wait is that a season break in april?

[keen brook]

I do 100% races and I had already a dry-wet-dry-wet race.

[floral apex]

ok bruh im doing a quali sim on mediums because i didnt have any softs available for practice

[keen brook]

damn

Quali sim on Mediums is crazy.

quali sim for SQ1 and SQ2🔥

Which aren't a thing in F1 23.

F1 Manager 2024 preloading now

[floral apex]

i also gave myself hour long practice sessions lol

[floral apex]

i sbinallaed through the gravel

[keen brook]

damn

[floral apex]

what im gonna do in abu dhabi fp3 is to celebrate my team's first year im gonna turn off traction control and do some donuts

[brazen nebula]

i cant wait 22 hours bruuu

im not gonna finish my f1 manager 23 season

but anyways i brought mclaren from shitbox to still a shitbox but a frontrunning team

[keen brook]

I'm actually in the title season but won't continue it.

[coral ember]

FUCK F1 24

THEY RESETED MY WHOLE CAR DESIGNS

Fuck codemasters and EA

[brazen nebula]

i was happy cause i updated my game early and i got 36th on the leaderboard

for like 5 minutes i assume

[keen brook]

I was once in some F1 game 2nd in Bahrain wet leaderboard.

[floral apex]

made my race pace sim more realistic by pulling an overtake

[coral ember]

I got 200th on the leaderboard for a second

[lyric scaffold]

wanna join a f1 24 league well anyone really they’re opening the second tier which will be f2 cars. wanna join?

[coral ember]

im so shit in the game bro

[brazen nebula]

it was cause the leaderboards got reset thats why he was so high up lol

im like top 40-50% on most tracks but top 30% at monaco somehow

[lyric scaffold]

you can still join im not the owner of it but you can see if you get accepted i guess. i was just the guy to advertise the sever

[brazen nebula]

yet i still dont league race cause i am petrified of being taken out after a go kart crash

or online races as a whole

[lyric scaffold]

wait you dont league race cause a go kart crash

[brazen nebula]

i usually race against ai but then in a bad go kart crash i have ptsd everytime i overtake someone in an online race

in ranked

[lyric scaffold]

oh right

[brazen nebula]

icl i get so immersed

[lyric scaffold]

do you still do karting tho?

[brazen nebula]

yes

[lyric scaffold]

what kart do you have?

[brazen nebula]

oh no its rental karts but it was at top speed and i got sent into the outside barrier

cause i braked early

[lyric scaffold]

dam

[brazen nebula]

and the kart behind rammed me while i was overtaking

[lyric scaffold]

i go kart racing and people then crash going into a turn and then ruin your laps

i want to race in a outside track but where i am theres not alot

[brazen nebula]

yeah

theres only 1 for me and it has like 5 corners

so i go to the nearest teamsport usually

[lyric scaffold]

i go to one of the largest tracks in my country but its indoors it does have inside and outside one but i dont know if they do it anymore anyway these karts go up to like 45mph not sure

[floral apex]

one of the outdoor tracks near me isnt even in my city

[brazen nebula]

the karts that they use at the teamsport i go to have a top speed of 40mph

and i got sent intothe outside barrier

[lyric scaffold]

yh i might be going to one team sport soon

[brazen nebula]

some drivers there are clueless

[floral apex]

i dont think theres a teamsport in my area sadly

[lyric scaffold]

i can agree

[brazen nebula]

the kart who was behind me was a good half a second it would be behind me

so he had some time to react to me braking

but he didnt lol

[lyric scaffold]

the indoor track is go it goes down a hill then a turn right and cause its indoor grip levels are low so its a real crash opportunity i’ve crashed there a few times

[brazen nebula]

i have another track i can go to thats not a teamsport

but its like monaco with no grip

you literally cant overtake

[lyric scaffold]

dam im trying to look for outdoor track near my town

[brazen nebula]

the best track i went to ever is stretton circuit (no its not doxxing myself i was on holiday when i went there i live a long way from there)

though i was in cadet karts when i went

its almost entirely flat

in cadet karts anyway

really fun though its really good for overtakes since the wide corners

i cant wait 20 something hours for f1 manager 24 bro

[keen brook]

same

well

I anyway have to wait 9 damn hours until the pre-load is finished.

But then I have to wait tomorrow as well.

[floral apex]

wow

checo just dnfed from the austria sprint

neither of us got DRS lol

and now my teammate has retired

[upbeat creek]

thats' bad

[floral apex]

Hamilton's falling back as well
i think he also has a problem

[mellow eagle]

Why does my friend not have flashback whenever he switches from casual to expert? I personally have flashback whenever im on expert

[floral apex]

have him check these settings just in case:

[mellow eagle]

tyty

he had auto recovery instead of flashbacks or both

🙏

[floral apex]

smart move to try in Austria: when battling another driver, intentionally slow to let them through in the braking zone for turn 3 (or 2 depending on how you look at it)
this way you get free DRS down the third DRS zone
Most effective if you're able to pass the other driver in the corner

wow this is like 5 laps of rain!

tire wear moment

MY ENERGY STORE JUST GAVE OUT

IM OUT

damn mercedes 1-2

All i did was try a longer session length and my car just gives out wow

[rigid hollow]

What do you guys think of f1 manager 24?

[gray wharf]

i havent played it

[rigid hollow]

Its not out yet

[gray wharf]

is it not?

[rigid hollow]

Nope

In a few hours

[gray wharf]

ohhh

honestly i prefre the actual games than the manager game

[rigid hollow]

Well my only f1 game is f1 24

[gray wharf]

i only have f1 22 f1 23 and f1 2020

i prefer f1 2020 tho its a little bit easier with no traction controll

[rigid hollow]

Can you play without ABS?
