When u start the career after 6 days there’s the day to choose sponsors

Then after u sign them u can put them on car

[sullen needle]

How do I change the sponsor placement or color?

It's been done for me and they look like shit 😭'

[vague willow]

trust we are going to cook with this livery

[lyric scaffold]

Livery and suit for Porsche

[vague willow]

should I do car performance 2 or 3 for Toyota

[brazen nebula]

ok so

[fallen crater]

Does anyone know if I'm allowed to use custom liveries on f1 24 online?

[vague willow]

im thinking 3 but 2 would be a bit more realistic

[brazen nebula]

ive done mine as my own team for porsche

[fallen crater]

I'm too lazy to remove them

[brazen nebula]

as in ive named mine after me

and then put porsche as the title sponsor

so its a porsche livery

[vague willow]

nice

[brazen nebula]

ive even tried to replicate the porsche livery

its literally a black oval with an orange dragon but it looks like the porsche logo from a distance

[fallen crater]

.

[brazen nebula]

no clue i play f1 24 on xbox

so i cant use custom liveries

[fallen crater]

I couldn't find anything on the internet

[floral apex]

"you can really sponsor everything"
- me 2024

[floral apex]

you go back to the livery and suit custonmization page

[vague willow]

?

[sullen needle]

Dude Bad Turtle's Icon looks so fucking bad 😭

[floral apex]

i love this game

[sullen needle]

Looks 🔥

[brazen nebula]

im already in fp1 for bahrain but thoughts on livery

[upbeat creek]

looks good

[brazen nebula]

my lineup is piastri and gasly

[upbeat creek]

go0d lineup

[vague willow]

ok im doing level 3\

[rigid hollow]

Im probably gonna make toyota and drivers will be tsunoda and piastri

[floral apex]

that looks like my livery but inverted lmao

[brazen nebula]

lol

[vague willow]

im also doing toyota

[brazen nebula]

omg

[vague willow]

this good?

[brazen nebula]

i thought the driver market is so entertaining

but then i saw they were the affiliates

[rigid hollow]

What drivers?

[brazen nebula]

richard verschoor is at mclaren to replace piastri who i took

[vague willow]

havent chosen yet

[brazen nebula]

and juan manuel correa is at alpine replacing gasly who i took

[vague willow]

do we do level 2 or 3 car performance

[brazen nebula]

i did level 2 car performance

[vague willow]

toyota

ok

ima also do 2

facilities 3

idk

[brazen nebula]

im goated i got great setup satisfaction on the first round of setup changes

[vital crystal]

i am shit

[vague willow]

what faclilities level did you guys do

i cant choose 😭

[vital crystal]

i did 3

[vague willow]

im thinking either 2 or 3

so far ive got 15m starting balance, level 2 car performance

[brazen nebula]

i did 3 facilities

i did 5 starting balance though

cause porsche have the big bux

[vague willow]

i did 15m for toyota

i guess kinda accurate

ok so for toyota ive got 15m starting balance, level 2 car, and level 3 facilities

as for drivers

[floral apex]

wow my three favorite drivers: Undefined, Undefined and Undefined!

[vital crystal]

legit

[brazen nebula]

wait they fixed my problem with visor cam

i mean its not fixed but its not as bad

did you notice that on f1 manager 23 when the driver turned his head right it looked down and when he turned his head left he would look up

now they just look down for both but its more consistent

need to wait for a week or 2 for mods to come out

[vague willow]

yes

[brazen nebula]

so we can import other logos into the logo and livery editor

[vague willow]

yeah

and expeanded timing board

[brazen nebula]

wait wdym

[vague willow]

f1 manager 23 had a mod where it would show sector times and shi on the timing board

[brazen nebula]

ohh

[vague willow]

i never used it i just saw others use it

[floral apex]

one of my guys almost got impeded by a Williams

[brazen nebula]

you can just do that anyway though

or is it like on the timing ones

[vague willow]

the one during the race

on the left side

[brazen nebula]

yeah ik

[floral apex]

lol i have GP as Lawson's engineer

[brazen nebula]

bro i have gp as gasly's engineer

and i also have lance pants' engineer for pastry

[floral apex]

And I just got the classic "Yuki getting mad at traffic on track"

[vague willow]

ive got stallard for piastri

and im choosing one for tsunoda

[sullen needle]

Dude this looks sick 😭

[vague willow]

how do i see how much money ive spent on chosing people

[sullen needle]

I love the editor.

[brazen nebula]

woah

[keen brook]

Me still having to wait hours for that fucking update.😭

[brazen nebula]

what update

the download?

[keen brook]

There was a update right after the relase.

[floral apex]

okay what in the world

[brazen nebula]

oh

[vital crystal]

huh

[keen brook]

Like the preload was done some hours ago.

[vital crystal]

1.03 is on ps4

[keen brook]

Then I wanted to start the game and there was an update.

yeah

[brazen nebula]

on steam you couldnt pre download it

[keen brook]

And it's 5 GB.

[brazen nebula]

so i have the launch version rn

[vague willow]

same prob

[floral apex]

when your car goes back to the garage, it just straight up drives into the garage instead of getting wheeled back in lmao

[keen brook]

Ah, then it immediately installed version 1.03.

[brazen nebula]

yeah ik

[brazen nebula]

its so funny

[sullen needle]

I love it.

[brazen nebula]

try watching it in visor cam

[keen brook]

Well, the preload for PS didn't.

[brazen nebula]

im goated

[vague willow]

ive got xavi and joseph as engineers

xavi for piastri and joseph for tsunoda

[keen brook]

Now I wonder what's actually the point of the preload if there's then an update anyway.

[brazen nebula]

i havent made any setup changes during fp1 btw

[vague willow]

ive basically taken the whole mclaren staff

[brazen nebula]

the people who got early access were told to report any bugs they find and they said they would do a launch day patch

and they did it before it went public i assume

[vague willow]

good?

[brazen nebula]

i find it quite funny how when i was choosing the staff the default ones were the best

[floral apex]

Kmag just spun out lol

[brazen nebula]

i had max and lewis as teammates

[vital crystal]

LMAO

[brazen nebula]

and all th best staff

[floral apex]

so yuki's replacement at VCARB for me is a guy named Juan Manuel Correa

[fathom garden]

seems F1 Manager 24 already has more all time players on steam then F1 24 does

[brazen nebula]

though i dialed it down to pastry and pieeeeerrrrrrreeee gasssllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

LOL

[solar kraken]

really undestandable

[vague willow]

time for powertrain selection

[lyric scaffold]

Same driver lineup lmao

🔥

[floral apex]

Holy crap

[fathom garden]

F1 Manager create a team puts EA's myteam to fucking shame

[vague willow]

games good

[solar kraken]

lit

[brazen nebula]

all-time peak is higher than f1 24's in 2 hours

[vague willow]

i mean the aspect of actually driving it is cool in f1 24 but the manager game beats it

[solar kraken]

im gonna buy fm 24 on pc and switch

to play on the go

[brazen nebula]

manager game makes me feel so smart

[vague willow]

this is a good game to play on the go

okay we ball were doing redbull engine

my usual choice

[brazen nebula]

i swear my iq has increased by 240 playing the manager games

[vague willow]

same

the sliders especially

[rigid hollow]

Bro thats gonna be literally my driver lineup

[vague willow]

oh boy its livery time

[vague willow]

lmao

[brazen nebula]

doesnt look like it

but like

[vague willow]

popular

well the team gave me the exact team colors i needed kinda

i could improve it

[rigid hollow]

I said it

[brazen nebula]

im going as slow as i can with both drivers to manage engine wear and tyre wear to make sure i can go the whole session to get the most track acclimisation per session

and car part knowledge

[vague willow]

ok

[brazen nebula]

so we are last by 3 seconds

in fp2 but like

that dont matter

[sullen needle]

Oh my god it looks so good 😭

[brazen nebula]

has anyone else noticed this sharp end on the front of the halo

or is it just me running low graphics

[floral apex]

George Russell locked up and almost got hit by verstappen

[floral apex]

i mean

[vague willow]

livery broke

no fucking shot

it worked the first time

[brazen nebula]

pretty sure its the model

[vague willow]

when i exit livery editor it instantly fixes

is it supposed to just be gray or

[lyric scaffold]

McLaren got Verschoor and Vcarb got Manuel Correa to replace Piastri and Yuki

[rigid hollow]

Bro you NEED to make a forum about this

[floral apex]

wow we made Q2

[sullen needle]

I'm in love with this game.

[sullen needle]

Shlawg if we aren't 21st and 22nd I'll take it as a win 😭

[lyric scaffold]

Got very lucky with Oscar

[lyric scaffold]

Sorry

[sullen needle]

This car is ASS.

[lyric scaffold]

Replied to wrong message

[rigid hollow]

Bro is everyone just gonna go with piastri and tsunoda

[vague willow]

i cant make good liveries with the game breaking like this

[keen brook]

That's a great line-up.

[sullen needle]

2022 Carlin returns.

[vague willow]

does the game allow you to change livery by mid season?

[keen brook]

And Logan finally has a F1 driver rating.

[brazen nebula]

btw this is just before fp3

i cooked

[sullen needle]

Yeah it's not fuckin' 70 like in F1 24.

For no fucking reason.

[keen brook]

His rating in the 23 manager literally is a F2 driver rating.

yeah

same for F1 24

[floral apex]

okay how did Sargeant and Ricciardo make Q2

[sullen needle]

Oscar is a 84 rated.

Instead of a 76.

[floral apex]

well thats probably because he improved a lot

he literally won a sprint lol

f1 24 is just drunk

[sullen needle]

Dawg we are cooked 😭

When the race target is to finish P20:

[vague willow]

okay were getting somewhere with the livery

[sullen needle]

OH MY GOD THE GAME LOOKS SO GOOD!

[rigid hollow]

Are there mods for the game already?

[vague willow]

have i cooked?

this is Toyota

[sullen needle]

I like the base.

Looks like an old Marlboro livery.

[vague willow]

yeah thats what i thought too

[sullen needle]

Bro do I have to turn my graphics down? 😭

[vague willow]

ill keep it like this it looks good

[rigid hollow]

Do you have the logo?

[sullen needle]

WILLIAMS SIGNED JMC????

[vague willow]

i sswapped the black with more red

[sullen needle]

THE FUCK?

😭

[vague willow]

almost there

[brazen nebula]

for me alpine hired him

cause i took pierre

and i took piastri so mclaren have verschoor

[keen brook]

I have seen a career where Mercedes signed Correa.

Because the dude signed Lewis and Max.

[brazen nebula]

ok so

[lyric scaffold]

🔥

[brazen nebula]

my setups are 93% for pastry and 97% for gasly

i cooked so hard

[lyric scaffold]

Got 96% with pastry

But 83% only with Yuki

[vague willow]

this better

i changed the style

[floral apex]

tsunoda through to Q3 lol

[vague willow]

shall keep this

[keen brook]

It hurts to see all these screenshots whilst having to wait for that fucking update.😭

[vague willow]

fuck my game froze

[keen brook]

damn

[vague willow]

running it on a mac is very hit or miss

[floral apex]

i like how this Q3 is fairly normal except for Tsunoda

[vague willow]

well there goes all my progress in creating the team

[brazen nebula]

ok i have good and bad news

[floral apex]

helicam pretty cool ngl

[brazen nebula]

the good news is we are faster than williams, kick sauber and alpine

the bad news is

were gonna be out in q1 most likely

nvm no were not

[floral apex]

i decided to make a midfield team

[vague willow]

time to recreate the team weve just made

[brazen nebula]

williams are faster with albon

[floral apex]

we're very mid

[vague willow]

game crashe

[brazen nebula]

p18 and p19

goated quali

im cooked

[floral apex]

im fairly fond with manager games
ive had some experience through F1 Clash and Motorsports Manager

[vague willow]

back to livery

[floral apex]

here have a blurry picture of my car

[vague willow]

time to recreate the livery i just made

[lyric scaffold]

Good qualifying for Porsche

[sullen needle]

I'm in love.

[brazen nebula]

gasly had a shit start

[brazen nebula]

p19 to p21

[vague willow]

rate_

[brazen nebula]

lol vcarb have the f1 manager steering wheel

[lyric scaffold]

Simple but goated

[floral apex]

ok so Verstappen on pole (obviously), P7 for Tsunoda and P11 for Lawson

this lawson is better than the lawson in f1 23

[brazen nebula]

omg lets go

the f1 manager battles dont look like scalextric racing

[sullen needle]

They look nice.

Semi-realistic.

[brazen nebula]

and hopefully dont do that thing where they are half in the slipstream and half not

and get held up

[vague willow]

finally im almost at the race

after a game crash and 78 minutes of creeating team

doing a kinda average race suit

[sullen needle]

If there is one thing I would change it would be to slide the number down. Any other ideas to improve it?

[brazen nebula]

im goated rn

piastri p14

gasly p18

[sullen needle]

HOLY SHIT.

[mellow eagle]

when it comes to f1 racing, for me the perfect balance for a challenge is 60 ai difficulty without any assists. Anything that i can improve for an efficency against higher ai difficulty?

[vague willow]

im still making a logo

[sullen needle]

I'M NOT LAST!

[brazen nebula]

me rn

[sullen needle]

LET'S GOOOO

Dawg how the fuck did we beat anyone 😭

[mellow eagle]

^

[floral apex]

i forgot 2024 had lap 2 drs instead of lap 3

[rigid hollow]

How many GB is the game

[brazen nebula]

19 rn

but you need 30

[vague willow]

is this a decent logo close enough to toyota

[rigid hollow]

What is the biggest problem for you? Do you lock up or spin out, …

[sullen needle]

...Sorry huh?

[rigid hollow]

Which toyota logo should it be

[floral apex]

Tsunoda: passes Sainz
also Tsunoda: whoo!

[floral apex]

i mean...

[sullen needle]

You should honestly be able to make this with ovals.

[brazen nebula]

i tried to make a porsche logo

its literally a black oval with an orange dragon head in the middle

[rigid hollow]

Just make this

[floral apex]

yeah thats easy to make

the letters would be different but

[vague willow]

ok

[floral apex]

i told Yuki to cool the tires and now he's in P4

[lyric scaffold]

Not so fun to start at that level tbh

[lyric scaffold]

Gonna restart with bad car

[keen brook]

Yuki is cooking.🔥

[floral apex]

he's trying his best yall

[sullen needle]

Tsunoda crashed Lap 2.

He's out 💀

[keen brook]

well

Yuki didn't cook.

[floral apex]

Yuki cooked and then quickly uncooked

[sullen needle]

Spins and crashes looks so much better.

LMAO JMC IS USING NUMBER 5

He stole Seb's number 😭

[keen brook]

lol

[prime ember]

https://www.twitch.tv/alternisj/clip/HandsomeGrotesqueShieldSoBayed-6ugiFJHbAnKI7jg7

[vague willow]

best i could do

the red one is always longer which doesnt make things easier

hold on

[brazen nebula]

wait what logo is that

[vague willow]

toyota gr racing

[brazen nebula]

ohh

[vague willow]

alright ima just do this it looks so bad but

[floral apex]

close enough

my man Yuki is battling Checo rn... and he's not even on full push

[vague willow]

yeah

choosing team principal name

why is this harder than it should be

[brazen nebula]

for me i was wondering what car brand should sponsor me

but i realised porsche wouldnt have shit car

[solar kraken]

If someone is playing on Nintendo switch, please tell me the experience before I buy the game

[brazen nebula]

so im gonna change it after this race

[prime ember]

https://clips.twitch.tv/RelatedPiercingUdonEagleEye-AqlImUBin43sDF7n

so zhou wheel/car didnt explode

[brazen nebula]

i would assume its like controller

[vague willow]

im just gonna make the team principal name the name of the CEO of toyota or sum

[brazen nebula]

as in the controls

but graphics might be very low

[vague willow]

Akio Toyoda it is

[brazen nebula]

LETS GO

P16 AND P18

we arent shit

well we are

but like

[vague willow]

lowkey lets do gorgio gorgio

[floral apex]

now this is a battle and a half

[vague willow]

💀

finally ive started the career

after around an hour and ahalf

the logo looks so shit

but here we are

it just didnt put my race suit

oh well

[junior kite]

what have i done bro 💀

[mellow eagle]

neither

[sullen needle]

Guys leestin to me this is a WIN for us this is a WIN

[junior kite]

verstappens just been booted

[sullen needle]

Unbelieveable for everying, I don't even know where we finished!

[vague willow]

i might develop new parts before season

should I

[junior kite]

and ham 💀

[vague willow]

ill just do bahrain first and see where we stand

[floral apex]

I really like this game

[vague willow]

yeah same

boutta play this so long

[rigid hollow]

Then what do you have problems with

[vague willow]

sponsor time

[sullen needle]

Ferrari 1-2 in Bahrain 😭

Okay.

Sure.

[floral apex]

best part is you can pause and you're not driving

[rigid hollow]

Can you not make the letters bigger?

[brazen nebula]

ok wth

why the fuck is gasly upset with car performance

[sullen needle]

NOT LAST MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

[mellow eagle]

just speed

[vague willow]

yeah, but i didnt to resemble the logo

[brazen nebula]

when the alpine which i took him from is literally the slowest car on the grid

[floral apex]

why am i not surprised

[mellow eagle]

just speed, the cars always catch up to me on the straights

even though i push my car

[sullen needle]

Me after finishing P19 and P20 in our first race:

[mellow eagle]

i still end up p1 but with a hell lot of challenge passing them after they pass me each time on the same straights

[vague willow]

done with sponsors now

[sullen needle]

Do you use ERS?

Do you overuse ERS*

[mellow eagle]

ofcourse

[mellow eagle]

overuse?

[sullen needle]

Is it typically hovering betweekn 20-0%?

[mellow eagle]

i mean, i always use it to its fullest on straights

[sullen needle]

You don't want to do that.

[mellow eagle]

how so

[floral apex]

we're a ferrari sandwich

[sullen needle]

You want to save your ERS until you want to defend or make an attack. It's not something you use on every straight.

[vague willow]

my logos are still blue bro how to i make them red

it just wont turn red

[mellow eagle]

well, i am trying to defend on the straights

[unkempt storm]

I feel like its very difficult to get away from cars that you’re fighting with

[vague willow]

whys it blueee

[floral apex]

you can fix it

you go in and manually fix the sponsors

[vague willow]

ik, i realized i was only editing the one on the front wing lol

i meant to edit the sidepod one

there we go

[floral apex]

"nothing makes sense"
- Tsunoda

[unkempt storm]

I’ve been battling Leclerc since lap 1 😭 it feels impossible to pull away unless you drain your ERS

[vague willow]

okay time for race

bahrain

im so behind compared to everyone lol

[sullen needle]

That's how it's always been, especially in Australia.

It's like that in real F1, too.

Why do you think DRS trains exist?

[unkempt storm]

When you’ve gotta wait 2 years to get Arvid in your car 😭🙄

[sullen needle]

💀

[unkempt storm]

It’s been like that every race so far

[sullen needle]

I have to wait 3 for Lia Block.

[unkempt storm]

I can’t escape it

[keen brook]

You can't choose him immediately?

[sullen needle]

Jeddah and Australia are two of the worst on the calendar.

[sullen needle]

You can but not as a main driver.

[keen brook]

I'm seen Kimi being in the driver choice at the start.

[unkempt storm]

Ngl it’s a all lot more fun in races

[sullen needle]

Since he's not 18/done 2 years in F2/F3.

[keen brook]

And he doesn't match both criteria either.

[unkempt storm]

I think you can use Kimi after the summer since he turns 18 then I think

[keen brook]

nope

2 years in F2/F3 are also a requirement.

So it's the same than for Lindblad.

[unkempt storm]

Then why can Kimi drive irl F1 next year?

[keen brook]

Just that Kimi is in F2 already.

Because irl there's the superlicence points.

as 2nd requirement to the age

[vague willow]

my logo looks so shit

[unkempt storm]

Meh, that should be in F1 manager ngl 2 years is bullshit

[vague willow]

💀

[floral apex]

2.6 seconds stop for lawson

[floral apex]

lol the pixelated letters

[keen brook]

Well, superlicence points would limit you in the driver choice even more.

[vague willow]

yeah

bro im 2.1 seconds off leclerc

q1

[keen brook]

So they tried to replace it with something less limitating.

[vague willow]

car looks cool ngl

[sullen needle]

Ope my game crashed.

[floral apex]

rip

[keen brook]

damn

[sullen needle]

I uh...

Didn't save.

[keen brook]

I've read that here concerning often already.

[sullen needle]

So if I lose everything I'm going to kill myself.

Phew.

Okay.

[sullen needle]

It just reccomended me to run DX11 instead of DX12.

So I'll try that.

[keen brook]

I think it still auto-saves after every single session like last year's game.

[sullen needle]

Oh wow that's so much smoother.

Yeah DX11 is the way to go.

[keen brook]

Well, it often seems like game crashes are more an issue on PC than on console anyway.

[sullen needle]

God, the tracks look so good.

[junior kite]

rushed race 1 livery

[sullen needle]

Knockoff Williams 😭

[junior kite]

gonna make a much better one for race 2

[junior kite]

nuhuh

[lyric scaffold]

Race 1 ✅

[sullen needle]

[keen brook]

Yeah, Frontier really cooked with the track modeling.

[sullen needle]

[sullen needle]

Nah bro if I fraud points in this shitbox.

I need to be built a statue.

[lyric scaffold]

Marussia it is

[vague willow]

WWW the game chooses a strategy for me just in case i forget

the amount of times in 23 that ive forgotten to set a strategy and it gives me hards

[floral apex]

tsunoda had a puncture
i put him on hards

[sullen needle]

Manor clears.

[lyric scaffold]

Love both

[vague willow]

running this game on mac has its downsides

they people are gray

[lyric scaffold]

But manor a bit ahead cuz they had the goat Wehrlein

[floral apex]

slendermen

[sullen needle]

https://tenor.com/view/detroit-become-human-gif-25028833

[vague willow]

its cause im running it in Wine emulator

[sullen needle]

Straight up looks like the Androids from Detroit: Become Human.

[vague willow]

i only have to play like this for one more day though

bro i love the new camera

[floral apex]

Tsunoda passing his replacement at vcarb

[sullen needle]

[sullen needle]

ANOTHER CRASH

EVERYONE IS CRASHING OUT LMAO.

[floral apex]

All the chaos is happening in your race

[vague willow]

i feel like putting on hards just for the purpose of having it on attack for the whole stint

[floral apex]

My race has been the calmest race ever

[vague willow]

´

[floral apex]

that's a lot of lapped cars

[vague willow]

💀

[brazen nebula]

[sullen needle]

Logan.

[brazen nebula]

[vague willow]

[sullen needle]

P13 👏

WHAT A DRIVE

[vague willow]

bro i have to do p6 or above in constructors

[sullen needle]

Dude we should not be finishing P13 lmao.

[vague willow]

im getting fired

unless i can actually score some points

[floral apex]

We were actually fighting for a podium
but then Tsunoda had a puncture so now we're 10th and 11th

[vague willow]

all i need is to score one point and ill be p6

time to start some designs projects

[broken nest]

bruh Steam reviews for F1 Manager 24 are mixed

dammit

[floral apex]

I told them not to battle each other
i think i confused them

[vague willow]

how could people not like this game

[keen brook]

Wouldn't base on reviews straight after the launch.

[broken nest]

people complaining abt performance issues and also saying that it's not really that different than 23

[vague willow]

wild for them to say that

[keen brook]

what

[vague willow]

they literally got create a team

[keen brook]

not much different

There is a whole new game mode.

[vague willow]

yeah

[vague willow]

fr

[keen brook]

affiliates

morale system

[vague willow]

so much new shit

[broken nest]

yeah exactly

[floral apex]

there were also a bunch of graphics upgrades i heard

[broken nest]

I'm surprised they didn't add it in 22 already

[vague willow]

yet people still decide to say no

[keen brook]

There is so much new stuff.

[vague willow]

yeah

[broken nest]

someone also claimed that the game crashed 3 times in less than 2 hours

[sullen needle]

Nice to see upgrading is still easy as fuck.

Hope they revamp it for 25.

[vague willow]

mine´s only crashed once and its cause im playing on a mac windows emulator temporarily

[brazen nebula]

do you not have it on hard difficulty

[sullen needle]

(Then again I have like 3k hours combined on the last two games lmao)

[brazen nebula]

what did you expect lol

[vague willow]

im on standard

[keen brook]

Unfortunately on PS4 you can't see play times.

[brazen nebula]

i have 200 hours combined on the previous games

[keen brook]

But I had alone almost 1000 hours in F1 Manager 2022 in 2023.

[vague willow]

i have 91

[brazen nebula]

you can see on xbox app just not xbox sadly

[unkempt storm]

I play standard cuz I’m casual player

[vague willow]

ive only played 23 and 24

[floral apex]

my wheel cover design makes my car's wheels look like road car wheels lol

[vague willow]

yeah im on standard cause i feel like id go insane if i put it on hard

[brazen nebula]

how have i already been playing for 2 hours

[vague willow]

same

took me an hour and a half creating my team

[floral apex]

ive only played the 2024 edition

[keen brook]

Well, the launch is 3 hours ago already.

[vague willow]

jeddah time

[brazen nebula]

GASLY Q2

HES COOKING

[unkempt storm]

3 crashes in 1 race is unheard of in Manager 23 😭

[brazen nebula]

in baku on manager 23 i had 4 people dnf in 10 laps

[vague willow]

i had 7 dnf´s in spa in 23 yesterday

there were like 5 VSC´s

[unkempt storm]

Tf

I never get crashes

[brazen nebula]

gasly p15

[floral apex]

Max did NOT smile once during that entire podium cutscene

[brazen nebula]

COOKING

[vague willow]

ive got chassis, underfloor, and sidepods upgrades coming for hopefully Suzuka

[sullen needle]

LOGAN!!!

[vague willow]

they are really big upgrades

hope this gets me into the points

[sullen needle]

UP TO P10!!!!!!!

[brazen nebula]

btw guys the light soft strat doesnt work anymore :((

[vague willow]

what strat

ive heard of it but never used it

[sullen needle]

Yes, it does.

[vague willow]

is it like that one where you put the softs on conserve and it lasts a long time

[brazen nebula]

wait what

[sullen needle]

Although I'm just slow in general.

It worked out for me in Bahrain.

[brazen nebula]

yeah you use softs and put them on light pace mode

and they last for a really long time yet you dont lose that much laptime

like a tenth or smthn

[vague willow]

ah

thats good

[brazen nebula]

but it preserves tyre advantage really well

[vague willow]

tsunoda p12 in q1 and piastri p21 out

[vague willow]

good

[sullen needle]

So many Tsunoda-Piastri lineups lmao.

[brazen nebula]

i did pastry and gasly lol

[vague willow]

fr

[brazen nebula]

wait no

i got confused with all the people using tsunoda lol

[floral apex]

i did Tsunoda and Lawso lmao

[brazen nebula]

since i wanna get this season over im gonna simulate 5 or 6 of the races

[vague willow]

red flag

[brazen nebula]

including jeddah

[sullen needle]

Sargeant goes provisionally P11 in Q2.

[brazen nebula]

p16 and p17

COOKING

[sullen needle]

Ends in P13.

Haas in Q3 big shock.

[vague willow]

q2 got redflagged

verschoor died at turn 22

do i do one stopper or two stopper for jeddah

two stopper probably

[unkempt storm]

Rahhhhh Piastri podium in AUS

[sullen needle]

LOGAN JUST OVERTOOK A MERCEDES.

We are in the points.

Do not panic.

[sullen needle]

We are no longer in the points.

💀

[vague willow]

i overcooked my tires

time to use the light softs strat to hopefully save them

[brazen nebula]

i slightly regret using the good staff now

they are all unhappy with me

[sullen needle]

Light push is really good for when you've overcooked your tyres.

[sullen needle]

💀

All my staff are fake.

[unkempt storm]

Bro Arvid is a sprint merchant in mine, taken 2 for 2 in the sprints

[vague willow]

fuck i locked up

[sullen needle]

(Just like real life)

Sorry sorry sorry.

[unkempt storm]

😭

[sullen needle]

Yes I know he won that one feature.

No I do not count it.

[vague willow]

i way way overcooked tsunodas tires and theyre on 28 and i still have 7 laps before pitting

[sullen needle]

If Tommy Smith is finishing P4 it doesn't count.

[brazen nebula]

im now just gonna simulate practice for now

[vague willow]

gotta pit bro early then

[unkempt storm]

Lmao Voisin was robbed of the other one

[brazen nebula]

idrc about setups

[sullen needle]

Tsunoda just forced Russell off track and Russell spun out on the T4 kerb.

[vague willow]

ill risk it and put on mediums

[sullen needle]

That was so realistic what the fuck?

[brazen nebula]

what track

bahrain?

[sullen needle]

Australia.

[brazen nebula]

oh

ohh

[unkempt storm]

How tf do you sign affiliates?

Whenever I do it, it comes up with a weird message

[sullen needle]

You offer them a contract.

[unkempt storm]

It says contract response needed but I can’t do anything

[vague willow]

putting tsunoda on full conserve

gotta make a comeback

[sullen needle]

God, the big HUD has spoiled me.

I hate the tiny one in this game compared to that one F1M23 Mod 😭

[unkempt storm]

I need help with the contacts idk how to do them anymore 😭

[sullen needle]

I think underfueling and running light on the engine is the way to go.

It helps engine temps so much.

[vague willow]

sargeant puncture

[brazen nebula]

thats what ive been doing

it also helps you get off the line faster

[sullen needle]

I liked doing that in F1M23 as well.

[brazen nebula]

cause of the lighter car

[sullen needle]

Always seemed more realistic to me.

[brazen nebula]

i go 5 laps under

[vague willow]

ill try underfueling next race

ive never tried that either

[brazen nebula]

you usually get to normal level around halfway

[sullen needle]

Yeah it looks weird but I just run it on light for the full race distance.

[brazen nebula]

how far do you go under

[sullen needle]

The most it'll let me.

[brazen nebula]

ohh

then you make it still

[sullen needle]

If my driver has trash smoothness then I go one lap over the minimum.

[unkempt storm]

I’m going to try that in Japan 💀😭

[sullen needle]

Yeah easily. You can typically put it to standard with like 10ish laps to go.

[vague willow]

im tyring that for australia

praying it works´

[sullen needle]

I think the strat is going to be much better in this game because engine temps seem so much more important.

[brazen nebula]

holy shit

[sullen needle]

Engine cooling may actually be worth investing in, too.

[vague willow]

rn

fuck i forgot to turn off push on fuel i almost ran out

[sullen needle]

SARGEANT OVERTAKES HULKENBERG FOR P10!!!

WE COULD BE ON FOR A POINT.

[brazen nebula]

gasly just beat a fucking mercedes in q1

[vague willow]

ii just need RB to not score points so that i can get p6

[brazen nebula]

they improved unfortunately

[vague willow]

im just waiting for my designs to complete

ive got a very good underfloor, sidepods, and chassis coming

[brazen nebula]

how are the vcarb engines already fucked

[sullen needle]

Dude Renault engines are ass in this game lmao.

[vague willow]

yeah

[brazen nebula]

p16 for piere

[sullen needle]

RBPT engines have shite durability.

[brazen nebula]

i went for mercedes engine

[sullen needle]

Merc have the best durability but are slower than Ferrari and RBPT.

I went for Ferrari.

Good middle ground choice.

[vague willow]

i did rbpt

[brazen nebula]

cause i knew that i needed to save money on engine components

[vague willow]

i should probably invest in engienc ooling

designs complete

[sullen needle]

WAIT, IT AUTO SETS YOUR PACE MODE AFTER A PITSTOP NOW???

THANK YOU FRONTIER

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[vague willow]

yeah

they absolutely nailed this game

[floral apex]

yeah i picked Ferrari as well

[sullen needle]

I'm actually in love.

Dude I might have 3k hours in this game.

I'm not even lying 💀

[floral apex]

im gonna try out a different livery style

[sullen needle]

I absolutely love this livery, by the way.

[brazen nebula]

has anyone noticed how the ai just randomly squeeze out your drivers down the straight

[vague willow]

tsunoda making it into q3

no shot

[sullen needle]

Yea, and I like it.

[vague willow]

thats is a very nice livery

yess i got tsunoda into q3

did a good lap

[brazen nebula]

fernando keeps doing it to pastry and hes getting dangerously close to the barrier

[vague willow]

watch me like lock up or something or mess up a pitstop

[floral apex]

alternatively:

[vague willow]

p6 start

alright lets try underfuelling

[junior kite]

no sponsors yet

[sullen needle]

I love that Ford Icon 😭

Dude I can't wait to see what the super creative people are able to do with this game.

[junior kite]

ty lol it took way too long to make it

[vague willow]

i got fastest lap

got tsunoda p5

this is good

piastri is making up lots of places

if i can maintain this position ill get points

im tumbling down the order

pitted and im p11

now p9

may or may not get points

im doing the light softs strategy

[brazen nebula]

i have rain in australia rn

for the whole race

[vague willow]

i had 5%

game fucking crashed

fucck´

if qualifying didnt save that would be bad

cause i got q3

[brazen nebula]

PIASTRI IS GONNA GET POINTS

piastri got p10

LETS GO

gasly p13 as well

[floral apex]

oop my game seems to have broken'

[vague willow]

i had tsunoda in p9

before it crashed

hope it autosaved

[sullen needle]

Dawg.

It is a battle for P10.

Against Sargeant in a Manor.

And Russell in a Mercedes.

[vague willow]

okay good

it autosaved

[sullen needle]

7 laps to go.

[floral apex]

I had to alt f4 the game because it wouldnt register my input on a tutorial and i couldnt do anything about it

[vague willow]

autosaved right before the race

i gues ill use this opportinity to use a diff strategy

[sullen needle]

These are the moments in F1 Manager that keep you playing.

COME ON LOGAN!

Aaaand it's over.

FUck.

[vague willow]

underfuelled down to 44 laps

finna be fast

[sullen needle]

WAIT

LEADERS LAPPED US AND WE HAVE A SHOT WITH ONE LAP TO GO.

[vague willow]

tsunoda already lost 2 place

piastri lost 4

[sullen needle]

COME ON PLEASE...

[floral apex]

kimi

[sullen needle]

LAST OVERTAKING CORNER ON THE TRACK.

LOGAN HAS THE DRS.

Can't find a spot.

It's over.

FUUUUUUUUUCK.

SO DAMN CLOSE MAN.

[fallen crater]

RAAAAAH🇺🇸

[sullen needle]

4 tenths off our first points 😔

What an effort but DAMN.

That sucks.

[brazen nebula]

piastri got our first points in australia

[vague willow]

yeah im cooked im probably not getting points

wait never mind

randomly goneup to p6 again

p5

were past hamilton

[sullen needle]

I had the worst possible start except I had two decent-ish drivers in Sargeant and Lawson.

[vague willow]

this is good

[sullen needle]

As I think that's the most representative thing for Manor.

[vague willow]

shit i overcooked my tires too much

[sullen needle]

They typically had decent drivers.

[brazen nebula]

piastri showed really good pace despite his low starting confidence

[sullen needle]

I mean in 2016 they had Ocon and Wherlein.

[vague willow]

hards were not the good choice here

back down to p11

my one chance at points

[floral apex]

hmmm

[vague willow]

ykw lets undercut

got lapped

unsuccessful undercut

[brazen nebula]

gasly q2 AGAIN

hes so good bro

i should probably give him the newer parts

WAIT

[vague willow]

i had a perfect chance at points but bottled it down to p13

[brazen nebula]

BOTH CARS Q2 I DIDNT REALISE

[vague willow]

ive got new parts coming for suzuka´

[brazen nebula]

im so good

[vague willow]

[sullen needle]

[sullen needle]

Get mugged, Mercedes.

[vague willow]

[brazen nebula]

funny enough russell in a mercedes is somehow behind oscar and pierre

[vague willow]

im hoping these new parts help me fight for points

[brazen nebula]

ah

p15 and p16

russell had traffic i think on his first lap

but he still only just made it to q3

[junior kite]

cars ready to finish the season now

[unkempt storm]

[brazen nebula]
