[quaint saddle]

What

[solar sapphire]

[quaint saddle]

Gasly is P18 and Danil is P20

[solar sapphire]

[quaint saddle]

Even worse news for gasly

Got torpedoed by his own teammate

[keen brook]

The torpedo is back.

In my career Kvyat is too far away to do something like that.😂

Gasly is now 3rd in the championship and Kvyat 15th or 16th or something like that.

[quaint saddle]

Im just doing a quick gp

Not carrer

But yea

When i did a career kvyat was waaaay off Gasly

Gasly was scoring podiums while danil was fighting for points

[lethal tide]

Don't bother, you need a minimum of a g27/29, g920, or tmx. Anything else isn't properly supported and won't act like a wheel but will act like an Xbox controller. Hard to explain why that's bad but it's a waste of money, plus no force feedback on anything cheaper.

[keen brook]

If you buy a wheel, it's fact that only the expensive ones are good, the cheaper ones are cheaper, but they don't work very long and then you need a new one, so in the end the cheap wheels are more expensive and badder quality.

But I drive anyway with controller so I don't care about that.😂

2nd season Hanoi race result:

Standings after Hanoi race:

[elfin atlas]

lol ur legit carrying the team

[lyric scaffold]

turn up ur ai

theres no way youre leading the championship and your teammate has a big fat 0

[whole cliff]

^^

[keen brook]

The 2 wins before were just due to good quali, it's so easy to defend against AI, if you are once in the lead, you will be the whole time in the lead.

And I don't want to change the AI during the season because I want to compare my performance in all races and that's not possible than the AI is higher. But yeah turning up the AI 1 step wasn't enough.😂

But Ocon underperform like hell tbh.

My team has the 5th best car, that means P9, P10 should be the positions where our car is.

And he was never even near to points.

Next season I will turn it up to 95 or even 100.

[keen brook]

Because at the end of the season I want to know what races are good and what are bad and therefore I have to compare where I finished the races.

But yeah, the AI level is too low.

[whole cliff]

I think someone said in here that 10% AI equals about a tenth of lap time

[lyric scaffold]

i mean i usually turn it up by every tenth im faster

so if im at 100 and im 3 tenths quicker than my teammate or 2nd fastest then i turn it up to around 103

or 104

[keen brook]

So, if I would've a team mate with comparable lap times I would compare mine with them of my teammate.

With the 5th best car my teammate should be in the near of Q3 or reach Q3 but finishing at the end of Q3, but Ocon was never even near to Q3, his best position was 14th or 15th.

But the 5th best car should be on P9 and P10.

So Ocon is in quali extremely underperforming, and in the race he maybe gain 1 or 2 positions but that's it, that's why he has 0 points.

[lyric scaffold]

doesnt justify having like 53 points over him or smth

you can adjust your ai difficulty in between sessions fyi

so just do it in between Q1-2-3

[clear eagle]

The moment you start a quali session after feeling confident with practice and then realise you can't make it through Q1 in an upper midfield car

[graceful tartan]

Guys if u lose auction in driver market can you still bid for the driver

I lost the auction cuz i accidentally press the accelerate time button

Ffs

[keen brook]

If you stop it and your driver is now not the reserve driver then you had luck.

otherwise no

[graceful tartan]

Nooooo

I accidentally press the button ffs

I want to sign leclerc so much

😭😭😭

Yk what

Fuck this

I'm signing hamilton

[keen brook]

I think you have 3 or 5 days.

[graceful tartan]

Hamilton's been shit in my career time to rise him up again

[keen brook]

And I'm not sure but I think you can talk with 3 drivers per day.

[graceful tartan]

Can i still sign the driver that i lost the auction with?

Yk what i'll sign leclerc after mid szn

If hamilton is still shit in my career

Then I'll sign leclerc

Hmmm which one should i pick

[runic coyote]

The renault

[lyric scaffold]

Renault
I'm with Ferrari on mine, it's the best in mine
Honda had 100 perf in season 2, but Ferrari had that, and the best durability (I went Honda in season 1)
Haven't looked back.

[graceful tartan]

Ehh i think i pick the merc for realism

Bcuz I'm having lewis as teammate

[lyric scaffold]

My team has Max as my teammate

[graceful tartan]

I want to make lewis good again

Cuz lewis

In my career

Has been shit

Since szn 4

[lyric scaffold]

Lewis in mine is... decent
Valterri Bottas actually fought me in season 4, and won in season 2
I've won championships against Lewis & Valterri so far

[graceful tartan]

Lewis since szn 4 maybe cuz his old hasn't been nowhere near

[lyric scaffold]

Bottas retired after season 4 for me too

After battling me quite intensely for championship

[graceful tartan]

Bottas retired in szn 6 iirc

The one that surprise me so much was oco

Ocon

He retired szn 7

[lyric scaffold]

Peréz moved to Renault for me in season 4
Bottas surprised me with their retirement bc they were @ their peak imo
But someone had to make way for George Russell
As here's how the driver transfers went in top teams in my career mode
(Riax Motors, Merc, RB being top 3)
Riax Motors - Replaced Russell with Max
Merc - Bottas Retires, Russell goes to Merc
RB: Max goes to Riax Motors, Aitken takes their place

[graceful tartan]

Nicee

Pretty chaotic

Driver transfers in my teams are pretty chaotic

[lyric scaffold]

i would pick mercedes for the sounds

Albon is still in redbull for me

[graceful tartan]

In my career in szn 8
Max moved to merc but then moved to renault mid szn
Mick moved to mclaren but then move to alfa mid szn
Hamilton move to mclaren mid szn
Ricciardo move to merc mid szn
Kvyat move to merc
Stroll move to redbull from at mid szn

[lyric scaffold]

szn intensifies

[graceful tartan]

There was still many driver transfers but i can't remember all of them

I think usually in my team career after a rookie move to a team they will get replace mid szn

[lyric scaffold]

I'm actually anticipating a reg change near end of season 5
And am saving up all of my R&D points

[graceful tartan]

I had a reg change before this szn but i decided not to upgrade em all bcuz it will be a bit borngy

Boring

[lyric scaffold]

Since my performance is all fully done
(except Ferrari is being a bitch, and the last engine upgrade from them is 'future season')

[graceful tartan]

Me too lol

My last upgrade is future season

So annoying

Like there's one szn left and they haven't done the upgrade

[river linden]

maranello working hard

[graceful tartan]

Copy we are checking

[lyric scaffold]

fckin heck
Thing is in season 3
I almost did no performance upgrading, as my durability was almost the same as the first race ever
so I did almost all of the season getting durability decent
And I secured all durability bc reg change for engine and durability, making my durability the best in S4
did have to make up for it in engine dept tho

[graceful tartan]

Wtf why is my engine suddenly burning fuel too much

Usually the fuel efficiency is high

Mercedes wtf

[lyric scaffold]

what
Ferrari for me has been pretty good on engine

Fuel efficiency is good, performance is almost 100% full except for that one darned upgrade istg

[graceful tartan]

Idk maybe i burn too much

Lewis wtf

My expectations for you were low but holy fuck

[keen brook]

In which season are you now?

[graceful tartan]

9

Wait lemme check

Yeah season 9

[keen brook]

And Grosjean hasn't retired?

[graceful tartan]

Yeah he hasn't

Even lewis hasn't

Sebastian hasn't

[keen brook]

In my career he was the only retirement in 1st season.

[graceful tartan]

1st szn retirement for me was kimi

[keen brook]

I've heared that it's very rare that Kimi doesn't retire after 1st season.

But in my career he didn't.

[graceful tartan]

Rip alfa romeo

[graceful tartan]

Yeah

[keen brook]

Alfa Romeo is like Marussia.

[graceful tartan]

Yea

They dropped down massively

[keen brook]

holy

[lyric scaffold]

How.

[graceful tartan]

Reg changes

I purposely didn't upgrade any minor upgrades for the aero reg changes so it won't be boring

[keen brook]

But the other Alpha is going down very much as well.

[graceful tartan]

Yeah but not as much as Alfa

[keen brook]

But they lost more positions in R&D.

[graceful tartan]

Alpha if they have 1 upgrade they could jump teams

Meanwhile alfa romeo

[keen brook]

They were the best team before?

[graceful tartan]

No

That was my team

I purposely didn't upgrade the aero

Even tho i have 180 k resource points

[keen brook]

Oh, I see.

The line was so dark that I instantly thought that must be AlphaTauri.😂

[graceful tartan]

Oo

At is the dark blue i think

[keen brook]

yes

I didn't noticed before that the line is black.😂

[graceful tartan]

[keen brook]

I'm used to that the line is blue because it is in mine.

[graceful tartan]

I was surprised that merc didn't dropped

Infact they gained

[graceful tartan]

Oo

[keen brook]

I think the game then changed the Red Bull color to a bid darker blue.

[graceful tartan]

Maybe

Redbull is the 5th worst car iirc

Is it only me but why is the mercedes drivers always underperforming in my career

[keen brook]

I wondered what team that is with this a bid darker blue, I thought that's not AlphaTauri because they are darker but then I noticed oh that's Red Bull.

Because at the beginning my car was black.

[graceful tartan]

My car is black and red

[keen brook]

But then changed it to the Alpine colors.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

Sorry i didn't meant to write boo there i accidentally type B

[keen brook]

My car has Renault engine, Hubert as 1st driver, then signed Ocon, so it's quite obvious that there's a Renault connection.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

Quite realistic

Meanwhile my car isn't realistic by any means

[keen brook]

That's why I decided to continue with Renault engine.

[graceful tartan]

I had a merc engine with leclerc as a driver

[keen brook]

Although it's the worst now.

[graceful tartan]

And a ferrari engine with russell as a driver

[keen brook]

But I decided to make my team to a Renault customer team.

[graceful tartan]

I kinda wanted to go back to honda but they're like so behind in the durability

[graceful tartan]

O

Oo

I changed szn to szn

[keen brook]

I had chosen Renault engine if it's the best, I had chosen Renault if it's the worst.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

[keen brook]

And it's the worst now.😂

[graceful tartan]

I chose honda at the start cuz i like the engine sound

[keen brook]

They only saved one durability part.

[graceful tartan]

Szn 2 i sign merc cuz ik ferrari was going to get nerf

[graceful tartan]

Oof

[keen brook]

Because I had engine and durability regulation changes.

So they saved nothing from engine.

[graceful tartan]

Oof

Happened to me

In driver career with ferraru

Ferrari

[keen brook]

At the last engine part there stands coming season.

So in that season there will be come just 5 of the 6 engine parts from Renault.

[graceful tartan]

I was like damn i've done all the engine part our car is gonna be the best next szn and then next szn came and i was like wtf how have we gone down turns out ferrari didn't develop any engine reg changes

[keen brook]

So the last come in 3rd season.

[graceful tartan]

My last engine upgrade still hasnt come

[keen brook]

And I'm in the 2nd now.

[graceful tartan]

It's been 9 szn

It's been 9 szn and my last engine upgrade still hasn't come

[keen brook]

Next race is China.

[graceful tartan]

You race 22 race or 16 race?

[keen brook]

22

[graceful tartan]

Oo

My 1-3 szn was 22 race

4 too iirc

But then since szn 5 i done 16 races

[keen brook]

So the last one I've done was Hanoi.

[graceful tartan]

I hate that track

[keen brook]

I like it tbh.

[graceful tartan]

I like the 3rd sector

1st sector is awfull

2nd sector is average

[keen brook]

The 1st one is really difficult I don't know when to accelerate in turn 2.

[graceful tartan]

Same

My fav track in the game is prob brazil

[keen brook]

The AI gain so much time there.

[keen brook]

My favorite is France.

[graceful tartan]

For me the ai gain so much at s3 cuz i have low brake assist

[graceful tartan]

France is actually quite good in the game ngl

[keen brook]

but only in the game😂

[graceful tartan]

Ye

I always do a 2 stop in France

So that i will need to overtake some cars

When I'm kinda bored i usually do a 2 stop

[keen brook]

I use only ideal line in corners and automatic gear.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

I use full line and auto gear

And low brake assist

Other then that

Off

[keen brook]

And I drive with controller.

[graceful tartan]

Yea me too

What ai difficulty do you play o?

[keen brook]

91

[graceful tartan]

Oo

I play 101

[keen brook]

But I definitely need to turn it up.

[graceful tartan]

Ye

[keen brook]

Next season I will try 95 or even 100.

[graceful tartan]

In my team the ai are much harder then in driver career

In driver career in 101 it was easy but in my tean 101 is so hard

[keen brook]

But I finish the season with 91 to see how it is with that and then I will decide if I need a big or a very big step up.😂

[graceful tartan]

Ye i think there's a tutorial to decide the ai level

Depends on the track tho tbh

Especially Silverstone

Silverstone ai is so OP

[keen brook]

exactly

I just want to make sure how I perform on the track where I'm not so good at.

[graceful tartan]

Ye

I can prob do 105 ai on tracks like brazil,mexico,canada,baku monaco

[keen brook]

Lol, I wrote track instead of tracks and it's even true.

Because the only track I'm really very bad at is Suzuka.

[graceful tartan]

The track i'm rlly bad is Silverstone

[keen brook]

It's the only track I can't drive a race without mistakes.

[graceful tartan]

Suzuka i usually do good bcuz i usually burn my ers on the straight before spoon

[keen brook]

My problem is that every race it happen that I hit the grass at the exit of the esses and the result of that is clear.

I think I have even more DNFs in Suzuka than in Monaco.

[graceful tartan]

I have the most dnfs in britain

I dnf twice iirc

One in rain

One in dry

[keen brook]

And I won 2 races already in Monaco but never won in Suzuka.

[graceful tartan]

I think i won monaco all the time in my team career every szn

[keen brook]

My 1st win in Monaco was back in 2017 heavy rain.

[graceful tartan]

Only won Britain once

My 1st win at monaco was at f1 2014 iirc

[keen brook]

And my 2nd one in 2019 with a very dominant Ferrari in 2nd season.

[graceful tartan]

I think in tracks i won the most either on monaco or austria or brazil

[keen brook]

2017 was my 1st game where I played on higher AI and without assists instead of ideal line and automatic gear.

[graceful tartan]

I think i do good in monaco is cuz i'm the type of driver that likes to brake late

[graceful tartan]

Oo

[keen brook]

F1 2016 was my 1st one, but I don't count the races there because I drove with all assists and 0 AI.

[graceful tartan]

I only bought 3 f1 games

F1 2014,2017 and 2020

[keen brook]

I don't know if I bought one of them tbh.

But from 2016 onwards I have all parts.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

I didn't bought 2016 cuz i didn't have ps4 in 2016

[keen brook]

But my careers were never longer than season 3.

[graceful tartan]

I don't buy f1 games too often cuz my game franchise that i play the most is fifa but now i think i play them both equally

[graceful tartan]

Me too but my team i got to 9 seasons

Maybe i can finish 10 seasons

[keen brook]

My longest was 2018 and ended in 3rd season after Spa quali.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

[keen brook]

2017 ended 2nd season after China race.

So the 2nd season had just 2 races.😂

[graceful tartan]

My longest driver career was prob 2017 with redbull 4 szns iirc but then stopped at the 1st race

[keen brook]

Because in that year China was before Bahrain.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

Ye

I remember

I remember malaysia

Was a nice track

[keen brook]

And 2019 ended 3rd season after 2nd practice in France.

[graceful tartan]

I once end my career after austria race while racing i was like fuck this shit i'm bored and then i start a new career

[keen brook]

I've even not done the last practice before beginning with 2020.😂

[graceful tartan]

Lol

[keen brook]

That's why it ended after 2nd practice.

[graceful tartan]

Ok

[keen brook]

But my goal for 2020 is to finish 3 seasons.

and a complete 3rd season

not one that ends mid-season or even mid-race-weekend

That's a nice term tbh.😂

And I decided already that 3rd season I continue with Renault engine.

But I don't know if I continue with Ocon tbh.

I have thought before my thinkings are the other way round.😂

But if he's not performing he have to leave. He's my favorite driver but if he's not performing he give me no other choice.

And Gasly is performing so good at AlphaTauri in my career as well he would deserve that seat.

[quick karma]

I have stats for drivers in 2021

Pérez and Ricciardo are new, the others not.

Well you also get the overall stat for hamilton to lance

[quick karma]

Yeah so we have half the grids base stat

[keen brook]

and one of the F2 drivers

[tawny oak]

By far the weirdest races in grand prix mode

[keen brook]

I had Russell on the podium as well in Hungary, but on the other side of the podium.

And it was in my My Team career.

[autumn prairie]

So i bought a g29 and ehm

i cant get the right settings

[misty plover]

oh, just a tip, avoid unranked lobbies at all costs

[lyric scaffold]

Gasly at 90

Interesting

[misty plover]

Kimi should have 0 experience

unrealistic

[lyric scaffold]

[misty plover]

Kimi has only been on the grid for around 20 years

mazepin is obviously more experienced

[lyric scaffold]

That's why he has the experience rating of 100

[misty plover]

Wait what does experience do again

more resource points

[lyric scaffold]

How much do you learn on an F1 Car

[misty plover]

i dont know

it depends on whether you know what your doing

[lyric scaffold]

Or how long they have learned on an F1 Car

[misty plover]

most of those on the grid would have at least 5 years experience in some other form of motorsport

except those guys who changed mercedes tires during sakhir last year

[lyric scaffold]

Junior Category, Sports Cars or even LMP Cars if you are Gio?

Anyone which teammate are you going to choose if you're getting the 2021 Game

[clear shoal]

if i preordered the deluxe edition on steam do i get it early?

of 2021

[frosty mica]

Yes by 3 days i believe

[clear shoal]

ok

[lyric scaffold]

[lyric scaffold]

I think the 12th to download and the 13th to play

[clear shoal]

thanks

[frosty mica]

[lyric scaffold]

I recommend waiting till how the game goes

Eh Codemasters hasnt done anything that bad

[clear shoal]

exept the first 2019 update

you couldnt touch a curb

[lyric scaffold]

But 2022 is going to be different

And the 2015 Game

Mess

[lyric scaffold]

That's the game you shouldn't preorder till you see how the game goes

[clear shoal]

ya

[lyric scaffold]

2016 2017 2018 2019 and 2020 were good but 2022 might not br good since EA is developing it

[clear shoal]

i already ordered 2021

its gonna cost 70$ to get into a ranked lobby if ea is doing it

[lyric scaffold]

I preordered after the announce trailer was out

[lyric scaffold]

If F1 2022 is bad going to create some bad backlash to EA

Really bad

Im glad that 2022 wont be a ps4 game

I dont have to deal with EA's shit

Meanwhile with GT7....

Wont buy it

I'll wait until I get a PS5

I'm thinking on going for PC. Heading towards my breaking point

No pun intended

For some reason Sim Racing Games and Arcade Sims are becoming smaller than How many Engines are there in F1 2021.
.
And with the Unknown how F1 2022 and GT7 will go.... Yeah.

GT7 at least they have Polyphony Digital

[lyric scaffold]

I perfer GT Sport tbh

GT Sport is fine

[lyric scaffold]

I started a 3rd career, and accidentally spun bottas, because of that bottas lost the championship

so next race I let him overtake me

I felt bad

now I moved to Ferrari

and it was a bad idea

The car has no handling

I'm not buying f1 2021

I'm content with f1 2020

[lyric scaffold]

AND ALBON IS SO ANNOYING

HE ALWAYS SPINS ME

AND ONCE HE CRASHED AT THE PIT ENTRY WHICH CAUSED A SAFETY CAR, AND MY 16 SECONDS LEAD WAS GONE

I came 2nd that race BECAUSE OF ALBON CRASHING

I'm on the last race of the season

and I'm 10 points behind Hamilton

and I qualified 2nd

and albon qualified 3rd

I'm scared

[graceful tartan]

OH FFS

And it's monaco

Monaco wet

With a controller

39 laps

Mf it's heavy rain aswell

[outer prairie]

Its monaco

You can't be overtaken

[hardy leaf]

i have NEVER gotten the safety car in f1 2012. no matter what i do to try and cause one

safety car IS enabled, and even with the safety car fix mod it still never comes out

[autumn prairie]

And F1 2020 always gives a safety car lmao

[leaden river]

i have a new least favourite track

america

its literal hell for me

[keen brook]

I really wish the same weather forecast, I had back in 2017 a Monaco race with heavy rain and I won starting from 10th with 1 minute ahead of 2nd Verstappen, so much fun this 78 laps.

[graceful tartan]

Oo

78 laps of monaco heavy rain

With a controller

Can't imagine how it felt

[keen brook]

It was really fun, better than any other race in Monaco in dry.

[leaden river]

How to have a heart attack in qualifying:

both mercedes within 0.07

[keen brook]

That one was hard.

[pallid cedar]

rip

[keen brook]

Thrown out of Q2 by your own teammate who's underperforming the car, that was a really hard one.

But I'm really bad at Suzuka tbh.

And I spun in the last corner, otherwise I would've been in Q2.

I gained like a second or something like that.

Because the 1st lap was really bad.

After the spin the 2nd lap was just 1 tenth slower than the lap before.

[pallid cedar]

wow

I'm ok at suzuka

Not amazing, not terrible

[keen brook]

That's why I tried to hold the throttle to throw the car somehow over the finish line. It nearly worked.

Or I reversed over the line I don't know exactly.

And I had to start from last due to engine penalties.

[misty plover]

Anyone hyped for F1 2021

[pallid cedar]

me

just one week left

[misty plover]

I’ve pre ordered it

I love it that the ai actually race you now

They would never divebomb me in f1 2021

[pallid cedar]

*2020

[pallid cedar]

I'm just gonna get it when it releases

[misty plover]

They don’t have enough stock of the game since everyone’s pre ordered where I am

So I joined them

[pallid cedar]

you getting a disc?

[misty plover]

Yep

[pallid cedar]

Oh

[misty plover]

I’m old school And basic

[pallid cedar]

I buy discs as well, I just like it to have them physical.

[quaint saddle]

He overtook me final lap final corner

[keen brook]

But with such a small gap you need to be next to him.

[keen brook]

That's unlucky.

[cerulean pulsar]

ye

[quaint saddle]

We were side by side

[misty plover]

you shouldve shoved him into a wall, they cant give you a penalty after the race

[keen brook]

no

That's not racing.

[misty plover]

yes it is

[keen brook]

Not if you do it on purpose.

[misty plover]

Hamiltons fault for trying to overtake you

besides you can just say nothing after the race in the interview

[keen brook]

I always say nothing if every answer possibility is negative.

[pallid cedar]

I hate when that happens

I always ignore those

[lyric scaffold]

whats the fun in taking out your rival deliberately honestly lol

[pallid cedar]

ye, clean racing is more fun

[quaint saddle]

Yes

[keen brook]

exactly

[pallid cedar]

I love when you meet a genuine clean racer online

Which is rare

[keen brook]

Tbh my defense is sometimes not really clean but I try to improve it in terms of fairness.

But don't give the position up anyways.

[pallid cedar]

Sometimes I might kick up a bit of dirt purposely

But when I'm a sitting duck on drs straights I might try a switchback

[lyric scaffold]

i sometimes try to push an ai wide but they keep turning in so i end up flashbacking

[pallid cedar]

I have flashback off

[keen brook]

same

It really helps to switch them off otherwise you'll never learn to not use them.

[lyric scaffold]

i'll turn them off for '21

i haven't even played in like 3 weeks at this point lol

[silent sapphire]

😳

I sorta lied when I said I didn't want to get the new game because uh yeah

[elfin atlas]

[uneven quiver]

I'm fuckin hyped for f1 2021, deluxe edition comes out on my birthday.

[uneven nebula]

yee just won monza by 17 seconds

are ai weak in monza?

or is my ai too low?

only time i was not first was in the start and after pit stops

i qualified fifth and the first chicane was a cluster fuck

then i slip streamed and overtook my teamate in the second chicane

[keen brook]

Monza is one my best tracks but it was in my case as well one of just 2 or 3 tracks where I really dominated, I started 4th, was in the lead at the 1st chicane and from there I had 5 or 6 laps Bottas behind me but even he felt back and from there I was leading the whole race.

So maybe the AI is there UP.

[uneven nebula]

i always feel like i have a horrible lap at monza but its always good in the end

[lyric scaffold]

If you race clean with me, I will try to respect you, and race clean
And if you race dirty, I will too

[lyric scaffold]

Seems like luck but maybe turn it up a little

[uneven nebula]

yeah its on 97 ai i might try 99

[lyric scaffold]

Yeah
I'm good-ish at Monza, except for the first 2 god-damned chicanes

[uneven nebula]

im good at the 2 chicanes but i tend to cut the 2nd one a lot

im playing on normal corner cutting rules so i dont get punished tho

im horrible at the 2 right handers after the 2nd chicane

[lyric scaffold]

Max has pushed me to my absolute limits so far in season 5 tho

I've barely won so far
Monaco was won by me only bc I got a better start, and overtaking at Monaco is borderline impossible

Actually no I just pulled a questionable move at turn 1

Ferrari Engine 1-2-3

But seriously I might legit lose this championship if max keeps pushing me to my absolute brink

Holy sh!t I was on the limit there

Just sliding ever so slightly

Domination

[grim forum]

When everyone decides to become a dirty driver just because I'm too fast in Japan

[balmy moth]

The picture is barely visible

[grim forum]

I probably flew from Casino chicane to Korea thanks to a last lap torpedo

[balmy moth]

yeet

[lyric scaffold]

oh
basically my team is 167 points
The 2nd place isn't even in triple digits
It's half the season in (10 race season)

[grim forum]

Idk why I'm that fast and I only play on keyboard

[balmy moth]

[lyric scaffold]

Triple not double

🤦

[grim forum]

And everyone just seems to recognise me and my Alfa Romeo in lobbies lol

[lyric scaffold]

Is it me or is Renault performing oddly well

Wouldn't be surprised if Renault gets a podium

[balmy moth]

:gocheco:

[keen brook]

Russell 4th and Hamilton just 11th, nice

That in real life would be insane.

[balmy moth]

Things you hate to see :
1.

[lyric scaffold]

Hamilton seems to always have a skill drop around S3-S5 and never recovers

[elfin atlas]

yea

exactly

its weird ngl

[balmy moth]

fuck you codeys

[elfin atlas]

between s3 hamilton became from fighting at top to in s8 getting knocked out in Q2 with no podium in that whole season and getting outqualified by ocon

btw ocon is at merc at my career mode

[lyric scaffold]

SERGIOOOOO

Good day for Renault

[keen brook]

The old Force India duo at Renault. Interesting.

[dusty meadow]

well this didn't happen to me, coz Hamilton retired before S4 and between S1-S3 he was always fighting for the championship

[balmy moth]

AND THEYVE COME TOGETHER AND BLOWN THE CHANCES OF A PODIUM

[keen brook]

And again it's Pérez who slams Ocon into the wall.
Oh, there aren't any walls in France.😂

[balmy moth]

[lyric scaffold]

Uh yeah Renault is suspiciously fast

[balmy moth]

is your dominance over?1?11??1?

[lyric scaffold]

lol
Probably not but
Renault is 4th in raw car pace on paper
They're performing at a 2nd best car level

[keen brook]

In my career Ocon is performing like our car would be 7th or 8th in R&D but it's 5th best.

[lyric scaffold]

Absolutely amazing performance from Renault
At their home GP
Peréz 3rd, Ocon 5th

Peréz was putting a lil bit of pressure on me, legitimately
I might have to keep an eye on them

It seems like their engine is good especially tho

So now I'm 2nd in drivers championship, behind 3 points

I was legit expecting ocon to overtake Russell

That didn't happen, but they sure were keeping them very honest

Time for Austria
I'm traditionally good here

So um
The Renault performance may not be a fluke

Mercedes is out in Q2 for me OMG
And also Sergio had a bad lap lol

how bad is mercedes in your save holy shit

They're supposedly 2nd best car

So IDK

I got a 1:01.177

[autumn prairie]

I am trying to race withouth traction control and any other assist bs and i just keep spinning

At the start i just immediately spin

[neon heron]

I’m just gonna say something, damm they haven’t give a update to the mobile game

It’s like stuck in season 2019

[keen brook]

You just need to be patient with the throttle.

[autumn prairie]

eh

what

ahhh

I still spin

[stable cypress]

uh

roblox

f1

good

there is a game called ria formula racing

in roblox

which is really good tbh

[silent sapphire]

hey it's hell

thx monaco

[final ember]

mb, apparently it goes in #ot｜games

Sorry

[stable cypress]

oh ok

[lyric scaffold]

Just slowly get on the gas
Use medium brakes full TCS first
Then Medium braking, Medium TCS
Either medium braking, no TCS or low braking, full TCS
then Low braking Medium TCS
Low braking no TCS
No braking (ABS ON), No TCS
Finally
No braking (ABS OFF) no TCS

Maybe I should show what my fingers are doing on brakes and throttle through a camera on one lap of a track

[autumn prairie]

Okay so i should slowly start learning everything

[languid wing]

i do believe that he has the skill and the car to beat mercedes and lewis

[lyric scaffold]

🙃

[languid wing]

although it should be more clear to see after silverstone

[lyric scaffold]

10 wins 💪🏻

[languid wing]

due to mercedes upgrades and lewis' home gp

[lyric scaffold]

Yea

But

Max is better in pit stops

Like 2.19 seconda

Better then lewis

[languid wing]

that really doesnt have anything to do with the drivers

it shows that red bull are veterans

f1 games gonna be in a fucked state now

[vast hemlock]

so is ferrari :)

head boss marchionne dies, nee bosses, bad

honestly idgaf about ea doing f1 games

[lyric scaffold]

Fuck.

If they only have them make a few games, then just fully take the series for themselves, I will rage

[tawny oak]

Codemasters is still a separate area of ea

So they still won't have much say in the games

[vast hemlock]

i mean, after big company buing deal, it isnt new that Ceos will get replaced it happens very often even so no need to worry

[lyric scaffold]

Look
EA has done this many times
Buys a flourishing studio
Has them make a few games
Shuts them down (90% of the time, the studios ips go with them)

[tawny oak]

I don't see your argument, ea isn't exactly gonna fucking ruin the game

They'll probably make it better

[vast hemlock]

ea will give more investement

[lyric scaffold]

I'm worried that they'll add bullshit paid DLC and microtransactions

[vast hemlock]

and resources

[lyric scaffold]

Look

Don't go thinking code masters is safe

[tawny oak]

Oh Oh sorry a dlc

Big deal

They could've made you pay for braking point if they wanted

[lyric scaffold]

they definitely arent because EA has shut down many studios they bought a few years prior

[tawny oak]

They have that power now but they won't

[lyric scaffold]

Because they don't have full control
YET

[tawny oak]

Ea could do whatever they want

They could tell codemasters to stop making f1 games if they wanted

[lyric scaffold]

At least y'know when rockstar games was rumored to buy code masters
That could have been a totally symbiotic thing.
Rockstar gives investment, and code masters could have provided some decently realistic driving physics for maybe GTA VI if that were ever to come out.
EA, I just... Don't trust

[tawny oak]

Erm...

I'd rather have ea buy codemasters than Rockstar

They will literally make the game better I don't see your point

[vast hemlock]

imo its unnecessary to think this is bad news, its just a videogame, lifes more important and with that im off to enjoy life and not make me feel sad about some company buing other and ruining it

[tawny oak]

Exactly

[lyric scaffold]

true

[silent sapphire]

hell no.

first of all it's take2

second of all

take2 would have literally plunged codies into the ground with no sympathy

they are one of the worst game companies period.

[lyric scaffold]

Only way EA would get away with filling the game with microtransactions would be if they made it free.

F1 games are pretty much almost identical to FIFA

Story mode

My team career

Career mode

And just free play.

A game every year with the same basic gameplay

Only difference is F1 gets much better every year as its a much more complex game

[leaden river]

fuck

[leaden river]

bottas just threw away his title, he hit me and lost part of his front wing and had to pit

unless hamilton finishes out of the points next race bottas cant win

[misty plover]

Looks like bottas has memorised senna’s quote perfectly

[leaden river]

yep

[misty plover]

“And if you go for a gap that doesn’t exist, you are no longer a racing driver. You are Pastor Maldonado.” -Senna Probably

[leaden river]

i ended up winning the race

many flashbacks were used in the middle sector

[misty plover]

Oh yes

Of course

[leaden river]

at least 20

[misty plover]

Brazil is my favourite track to drive on (apart from spa) in this game

On a wheel it just flows so well

[leaden river]

i always get on the power to early at brazil

and end up trying to drift the f1 car

[misty plover]

I still have tc on full cuz I’m very trigger happy

I’m gonna turn it to medium soon

[leaden river]

i have it on medium because my pedals have around 1 degree of movement

that or my foot is just a brick

[misty plover]

I’m still an amateur so when heading into the first turn i occasionally hit clutch instead of the brake pedal

[leaden river]

i dont use clutch on my team

on online when i have to use it i have it mapped to the sequential shifter on my wheel

[misty plover]

I just only play career now

Online is a mess

[leaden river]

most of the time yes

i am about to do the last race of my season

wish me luck

[misty plover]

Good luck my friend

I suggest stalling to avoid t1

[lyric scaffold]

F1 2020 is trash its all about F1 2021 and Braking Point know

[misty plover]

F1 2021 has portimao and I’m so excited

Portimao is a god tier track

[lyric scaffold]

Imola too its going to be sick

[misty plover]

Oh yeah

[lyric scaffold]

New drivers New Teams

New tracks and a shit ton of driver moves

[misty plover]

And no Hanoi

Yay

[lyric scaffold]

Pog

[misty plover]

No Shanghai as well

Very pog

[lyric scaffold]

My least favorite tracks

[misty plover]

I hate them cuz it’s under steer city

Even with max front downforce

Which you never run cuz of the straights

[lyric scaffold]

did this happen in Brazil?

[leaden river]

yep

[lyric scaffold]

SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME

I WAS 2ND AND BOTTAS HIT ME

AND HE HAD TO PIT

IN BRAZIL AS WELL

[leaden river]

damn bottas must really love dive bombing it at brazil

[lyric scaffold]

NO

[lyric scaffold]

yup

now in the 3rd season I'm 3rd in the championship CAUSE BOTTAS SPUN ME IN CANADA

[lyric scaffold]

I'm asuming Honda will be ahead of Renault and Ferrari in the new game

[runic coyote]

it will

[misty plover]

Ferrari will be worst

[lyric scaffold]

What should I name MyTeam

I was thinking like Rosberg Racing

[misty plover]

Fok Smash F1 Team

Bunch of Wankers Racing

Oh I know

Mercedeez Mag Penis Formula 1 Team

Wait that’s an actual team

[leaden river]

lewis hamilton is the champion in my season

and ive signed lando norris for my teammate next season

[misty plover]

I desperately want to sign Kimi so I can get resource points

I’m on rd19 of season 1 cuz I stopped playing for a while

I also can’t be bothered doing practice programs so I simulate

[leaden river]

@misty plover important question

[misty plover]

Yes

What is the question @leaden river

[graceful tartan]

Mclaren 1-2🔥 🔥 🔥

[misty plover]

That might happen at imola this year

[graceful tartan]

Imola already happened mate

[misty plover]

Wait I meant monza

[graceful tartan]

Oo

[misty plover]

Got confused

[graceful tartan]

Hmmm will that happened

I think mercedes are prob going to win monza

[misty plover]

The Mclaren is an absolute rocket ship in a straight line

[graceful tartan]

Ye but they use a mercedes engine

They have a low drag setup

Merc and rb use a much higher downforce setup iirc

[misty plover]

And Rb faster than merc in straight line

Rb has less drag

[graceful tartan]

Merc will be faster if they have a lower downforce setup

[misty plover]

I doubt it

[graceful tartan]

I think ye

Bcuz look at baku

And i think honda are using a new engine meanwhile merc are using an old engine

[misty plover]

Get in there (the runoff) Lewis

[graceful tartan]

This is a sprint not a marathon

[misty plover]

Lmao

[graceful tartan]

Brake magic

Brake 🪄🪄

[uneven nebula]

anyone have a trick to singapore?

i keep locking up everywhere im running 92 brake pressure

my front right always overheats

nevermind

i thought i put a setup on

but i didnt

small brain moment

[misty plover]

Ok, first tip for Singapore is to turn damage off

[lyric scaffold]

yes

agree

[misty plover]

Second tip is to brake in a straight line and move brake bias to the rear

[lyric scaffold]

Okay

[keen brook]

Singapore is one of my favorite tracks tbh.

[keen brook]

Then you will never learn the track.

[lyric scaffold]

Exactly

well if i stay off the walls i become like 1 second slower lol

and even then i'll eventually hit the wall at some point since singapore races are longer than usual

[keen brook]

I damaged my front wing last race not because of the walls but because I hit Pérez as I tried to overtake him in the bridge section.

really stupid move

[lyric scaffold]

doing the massa but a failed one huh lol

[keen brook]

That's why I ended up only 5th could've been 4th, Ricciardo was possible as well without front wing damage.

[lyric scaffold]

a risky move on an ai always results in a fail since they turn in so much

[misty plover]

Singapore is a rough race cuz it’s long and like Monaco

It’s very hard not to lose focus

[keen brook]

I started 22nd and it was monsoon rain at the beginning.

It was very fun to fight through the field.

[leaden river]

my car is awful at australia

way to tail happy

[keen brook]

Australia is after Monaco my worst street circuit tbh.

The fast chicane is a bit tricky I often lose the rear but mostly I can catch it.

And it doesn't feel like a street circuit tbh.

That's why I like the other street circuits more than Australia.

[leaden river]

the fast chicane at australia is hell

if you take it to quick you lose the rear end

if you take it to slow then you lose places

[keen brook]

exactly

[leaden river]

tbh the first half of it is fine

its just the exit

you go to fast on the exit you go wide and get onto some of the grass

you crash

[keen brook]

That's the trick of it, not to hit the grass.

But the curb can do the same if you hit it wrong.

[uneven nebula]

i turned my ai down to 90

its a bit better

but still tricky

nvm ima just simulate the race

im never choosing singapoer in my season again

[lyric scaffold]

Singapore is my home race and I suck at it

[lyric scaffold]

[uneven nebula]

HAHHAHA I SMULATED IT AND I WON FROM 21ST ON THE GRID

BRUHHH

[lyric scaffold]

When the AI is better than you

One tip for Singapore

Always brake early

[keen brook]

You don't need to brake early, you just need to be careful by accelerating, there it's close to the walls.

The walls are often near at the exit of the corners.

It's my 2nd favorite track and my favorite street circuit so I haven't any problems with the track.

It's not so difficult tbh.

[uneven nebula]

my number one problem is overheating tyres

[keen brook]

That's normal in Singapore.😂

I don't know why but the track I had the most rain races already is Singapore.

[calm root]

can we talk bt AC here?

[hollow gull]

#racing-games

[runic coyote]

Singapore is a decent track

But I would say there are better Street circuits like baku

[keen brook]

Baku is nice as well but I like Singapore more even because it's more difficult.

[misty plover]

on the topic of street circuits, fuck monaco

the ai just plays farming simulator into t1

and dont even bother going online there

[keen brook]

If I wouldn't do mistakes during the races in Monaco it would be my favorite street circuit but because I mostly ever do it's only 3rd in my street circuit ranking.

[runic coyote]

But at the same when u don't make mistakes it feels 100 times better

[misty plover]

but you always make one tiny tap with the wall and then boom, your front wing is gone and so is your ability to take any corner

[keen brook]

exactly

[keen brook]

Exactly, and in my case it's often the left corner after the chicane behind the tunnel.

[misty plover]

in my case its always sainte devoite

then my whole race and lap is ruined

[keen brook]

That's the best overtaking spot in my case.

[misty plover]

how could you possibly do heroics into sainte devoite

for me the best overtaking places are at the tunnel chicane and rascasse

[uneven nebula]

you cant overtake at all in turn 1

drs barely works there

unless you are right behind

literally no point of drs in monaco at all

[misty plover]

i dont think there should be drs in portimao

the slipstream is op enough

[keen brook]

With the cars how there are right now every DRS zone is needed and it's needed to put one on every straight where it's possible to overtake.

and not dangerous as well

[leaden river]

won at bahrain

[pallid cedar]

Nice

Bahrain is one of my favourite tracks

[leaden river]

its a fun one

nearly as good as china imo

[pallid cedar]

China???

I don't like china

[leaden river]

i enjoy it

[pallid cedar]

I think it's just the roundabout at the first sector that I hate

[lyric scaffold]

china is dogshit lol i hate it

the track i mean

bahrain is definitely one of my favourites

[uneven nebula]

are qualifying on mediums a good strategy in russia?

hello

please

help

im about to qualify

[whole cliff]

Eh it does not really matter in Russia

Starting on the medium gives you more freedom though if you want to go longer or not

But tire wear is so low so starting on the medium or the soft does not matter it is a one stop anyway

[uneven nebula]

is it a soft to hard or soft to medium?

[keen brook]

100% race is a 2 stop with Soft, Soft, Medium, so 50% should be a 1 stop Soft, Medium.

or Medium, Soft

Or 25% or whatever you are doing.

[uneven nebula]

i qualified on mediums

yay

bruh

i got a brake failure in q3

and have to wait 7 minutes

bruh

[keen brook]

The best moment for that.

[uneven nebula]

YES I GOT Q2

BEST PLACE IN RUSSIA

my teamate somehow got a 1.26.9

full second ahead of me

this whole weekend i was within 1 tenth

and he obliterates me in q2

[keen brook]

Russia is one my better tracks tbh.

[clear eagle]

I find it a bit uninspiring

[keen brook]

Yeah, but my pace there is better than on much other tracks.

Because my pace is in general very good on fast tracks.

[drifting grove]

yo

in F12020

do teams in career mode change their engine supplier

cuz i race for mclaren rn and at the french gp it said it was my engine supplier's home race

which would be renault i think

but mclaren uses mercedes power

[keen brook]

Last year they had Renault, since this year they have Mercedes.

[pallid cedar]

In 2020 they used Renault

[drifting grove]

oh fr?

that explains that

[lyric scaffold]

Nice
Your save is pretty interesting
my save is pretty weird lol
Renault performed oddly well in France, then went back to 4th best performance

[lyric scaffold]

The exit of the hairpin, the tunnel, and the left corner after the chicane that you go into as you exit the tunnel

[keen brook]

My save is pretty boring, there was 2 chaos races, Mercedes dominates.

[lyric scaffold]

Sector 2 in general for me is pretty problematic

[keen brook]

Monaco was a bit chaotic and Hungary was pure chaos.

[lyric scaffold]

My team is kinda dominating rn
Mercedes is shit
Redbull... Ehhhh?

[keen brook]

And Red Bull was badder than Ferrari.

[lyric scaffold]

Renault went back to normal performance after the weird pace uptick in france

[river linden]

renault illegal engine

[lyric scaffold]

Ferrari is a midfielder for me
Which means my car is the fastest one with a Ferrari Engine

[elfin atlas]

for me merc are 3rd best on paper and they aint doing well ngl

[keen brook]

But Red Bull had only 1 driver who scored regularly points tbh.

[elfin atlas]

im bored with my current myteam save so i made a new one before f1 2021 comes out

[lyric scaffold]

Yeah LMAO
they were oddly quick on the straights, but all around were doing nice
Peréz was keeping me very honest
And ocon was keeping Russell honest

Yeah my pace wasn't the best @ France
but still

[keen brook]

Russell and de Vries got a podium in Hungary, Ricciardo in Monza, Norris in the USA, Gasly 2nd season in Bahrain.

[lyric scaffold]

Merc is 2nd on paper, but got eliminated entirely in Q2 for me in Austria

honestly I just hope EA doesn't kill codemasters after a few years

[keen brook]

I'm interested how F1 2022 will be, with the new cars.

How it is to drive them.

[lyric scaffold]

2022 better have a livery system like Forza has, where you can make anything without limitations

I mean in 2020 you can make some nice liveries

But it's limited

[keen brook]

Yeah, a livery editor would be nice.

Would give much more possiblities.

[lyric scaffold]

I want my main sponsor on the livery to be Google for example n shit
But I only have Xbox F1 2020
So I can't edit livery manually to do that

[keen brook]

same with PS4

[lyric scaffold]

I'm hoping to maybe get a Xbox Series S in 2021/2022

[keen brook]

F1 2022 will be only next gen?

[lyric scaffold]

Probably

2021 is only on Xbox One because it probably started development before next gen released

[neon heron]

i like the monza track

and update the mobile game, codemasters

[lyric scaffold]

They probs won't.

[neon heron]

so well im screwd up man

gotta get money for a PS4 and F1 2020

ive got real racing 3

ive got 2019 season and guess who i picked up?

[keen brook]

Ocon. Oh, there was something.😂

Leclerc?

Norris?

Or due to your name Kvyat?

I think that was my 3 guesses.😂

[white iris]

I hate hanoi so much

[neon heron]

Robert Kubica

[white iris]

this track is so annoying

[keen brook]

I like it tbh.

[white iris]

Everytime it comes on the calendar i wanna skip it

[neon heron]

but i was in a debate between kvyat and robert lol

[lyric scaffold]

So uhh
In my Austria race I just finished.
Max pitted.
For no apparent reason?

[keen brook]

Maybe he damaged his front wing.

[lyric scaffold]

Lemme watch the replay

[keen brook]

If you are in the screen after the race you can take a look at the pit stops.

You can see there if he changed front wing as well or not.
