[scarlet gyro]

You win the corresponding crate

[spark frost]

right

[tough fable]

Hello

Iam new

What serie you are

[scarlet gyro]

7 by choice

Hutch stop bringing Michael Masi style SC, with 1 racing lap left, everyone with 100% PU, no more strategy

[true oar]

Hi

[craggy bramble]

Keep racing on tracks where you need cornering, yet I loose every race to drivers that have far less cornering 🤬

[scarlet gyro]

Drivers dont have cornering stat

A track has 2 stats, setup stat and driver stat, drivers stats usually count more

[atomic dagger]

Are you over doing cornering?

I find it's better to be balanced more across the stats with a small bias towards cornering than it is to go all in on cornering and throw everything else in the bin

[scarlet gyro]

You can go all in but dont neglect driver stats

[atomic dagger]

It's more like a hint on what the most important stat is rather than a 'stack this at all costs' kind of thing?

You still need speed on straights etc.

[steel trench]

Not exactly

[astral adder]

What does captain, vice caption do? Extra anything?

[atomic dagger]

Please educate!

[scarlet gyro]

Stats is everything

I would run 1 speed and 300 cornering in a cornering stat tracks

[steel trench]

Balanced setups don’t work. Track stats make you faster per lap - even if it is race start (often missed). Stats that don’t follow the track specifics are just a waste of TS

[scarlet gyro]

I would gatekeep that info

[steel trench]

Why? It’s not like it’s not widely available already 🤷🏻‍♂️

[scarlet gyro]

I'm gonna give u another hint, never use DRS before eau rouge, use it at the kemmel straight

Go conserve until bus stop chicane make sure you're 2nd after turn 1

[final vigil]

Last season after they changed the amount of points needed and got it down to 5/6 races to win your crate is what I meant because now it's 4/5 and SC or the game forcing a forfeit and then taking forever to load back up and then you get coins 😂 all done on purpose to keep the spenders their advantage they pay for because they suck at this game and have to pay to feel like they are good at this game 🤔

[astral adder]

??

[steel trench]

No

Don't give vice president to someone you don't trust though 😉

[scarlet gyro]

You dont need to win to get a gold crate in sprint, 1-2 or 3-4 makes no difference

[fathom nest]

https://tenor.com/view/的9-gif-27299608

[wooden musk]

Hierarchy of kickable/unkickable 😂

[true oar]

How to create a Link with FB? I can't create it through the in-game button. It pops up a white page.😩

[steel trench]

To whoever said earlier that you can’t choose when to enter a sprint if you are in p4/5

[scarlet gyro]

Its because you rabbits decide to rush into higher series and are whale food

[steel trench]

No.

[vapid forge]

So basically it’s another thing to with money and spenders 🙄

[steel trench]

I didn’t want to finish above sprint as I had some work to do. I can still finish a sprint in p1-2

[feral tartan]

Good luck to everyone for this weeks GP; don’t forget to challenge yourself and try not to be tempted by the drooling easy path, a temptation I know a few on here struggle with

[final vigil]

I don't have a problem with spending my problem is that hutch focus is only for them and not the rest of this community like making the offers available up to a 100 times really 🤔 and then go and destroy sprints so ya that is my issue

[scarlet gyro]

Is what pays their salary

[vapid forge]

Oh because the ‘free to play’ would get too many and hutch are helping their spenders

[final vigil]

So I've tried this because I was told how to do it and it doesn't work for all phones but it does work 👍 but not for me 😆

[steel trench]

It does work. You have to be fast

[vapid forge]

Oh I see, the epics in sprints are low because of what I just said and to get us to use our boosts? Now I understand

[final vigil]

Maybe I have 😂

[misty peak]

😆

[scarlet gyro]

My weekly legendary crate delivery comes to an end 😢

[final vigil]

You have to remember their big big spenders have no issues with using boost because they all have over 20k of most of them and just keep spending so ya it's not fair play for the F2P players trying to have an enjoyable game experience

[vapid forge]

If that’s the case, why do we genuinely still play the game? It’s no fun and it doesn’t look like it’ll get any better

[vapid forge]

Especially just to support the big big spenders

[scarlet gyro]

"its only fun if I win"

[vapid forge]

Of course it is, why would it be fun if we lose all the time 🤷‍♂️ 🤣 😂

[final vigil]

Well if that ever happens Hutch will go out of business because the less then 1% they are catering to will not be enough to pay all their salary and bonuses 😂

[vapid forge]

Sounds like a hutch problem 🤪

[scarlet gyro]

Bots dont even use boosts, do you still lose to them?

[vapid forge]

Yeah actually

[final vigil]

Losing can be fun too if it's a fairly matched PvP game and it's back and forth

[scarlet gyro]

Matchmaking is based on TS, GP have assets limitations what do u guys want?

[final vigil]

Not entirely till this happens it's our problem 😂

[vapid forge]

True lol. It won’t be our problem if we don’t play it

[final vigil]

Ya when MM is over a hundred 🤦

[scarlet gyro]

Still winnable

Do you micromanage your power unit, do you carefully choose ur drivers?

Just won this

[scarlet gyro]

I just misread the "over a 100" part but that doesn't happen very often

[final vigil]

Ya it does and I've had over 200 TS MM quite often mate

[steel trench]

Are you in S12?

CAn you show actual examples of "over 200 TS" ? And no - hutsh series bots don't count 😄

[vestal thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/too-slow-gif-10580324

[stray gazelle]

Hello everyone, I had 1 hour left in the last GP to complete my final race. Why couldn't I play anymore? So I missed my qualification for Sunday's race.

[final vigil]

Yes I'm in 12 but I don't SS those it's not worth my time I don't even race them I just forfeit

[stray sleet]

Legendary driver scam

[mellow niche]

Sprint race points and weekly/daily objectives not working on my game,anyone else having problems

[scarlet gyro]

Do u have procrastination syndrome? You had 24h to play

[stray gazelle]

It's my question, not 24h but 23h

I waited to know if I should use boosts or not

[final vigil]

I love how whenever you have a valid point about what's wrong with what's going on with this game it gets deleted instantly what a joke prohibited text because I said something about their gimmick with the drivers and it not being fair like going perfect all weekend and not making the FR so not being rewarded for having a great weekend all because I didn't pay to play

[mellow niche]

My mistake,didnt realise lol

[steady obsidian]

thanks bro, going junior again, hoping for podium

[steel trench]

Are you racing in your highest series ?

[steel trench]

I’m sure you can express your dissatisfaction without cursing. I’ve done it often. I rarely have my posts deleted

[final vigil]

😂 do you think I'm not aware of this I did none of these things I was only talking about the legendary drivers

[steel trench]

I intentionally skipped that part 🤣

[final vigil]

Just keep swinging from them hutch testies your great at it

[stray gazelle]

Well ok thanks

[scarlet gyro]

Just kidding

Realy? And yes S12

[steel trench]

Not like you didn’t know that is possible 🤣

My earlier drops. In s11. Working as expected given we don’t have minimum series in them

[short totem]

Yeah i know but how much more to mess up the game

[short totem]

We? I was think you don't work anymore for them

[steel trench]

We = players

[short totem]

Ahh ok

[steel trench]

Despite what everyone thinks I’m saying is defending them (which is wrong), because I’m working for them (which is even more wrong) - I do consider myself a player above all. And when I reference to “we” - it’s “players”

[short totem]

It's ok but we=players can understand that wrong

[steel trench]

How? Players don’t have minimum level of drops, so that means we have everything from s1 to whatever series we are in 🤣

Not really, currently racing and if I get real player I’m dead. My best race start drivers can only manage average and slow

[steel trench]

Skill issue. Comes with the age

[vapid forge]

Man it’s not. That kind of sentence (I know it’s only joking around) doesn’t really help as I’m struggling

[vapid forge]

Maybe it is but I’m an experienced player (been playing since the end of 2023) 😉

[steel trench]

Yea I’m fully joking there. What are you trying to race with?

[vapid forge]

Bearman and Doohan

[steel trench]

S5?

[vapid forge]

Yes

[steel trench]

What about parts?

[vapid forge]

I’m running literally full PU with Quali and skipping Melbourne

[austere stratus]

hmm, it's annoying if you join a new sprint group and people already have 47 points 😦

[vapid forge]

Very bad news that is 😄

[austere stratus]

well, realtively speaking ofcourse. But that's a sprint yo can't win anymore unless they decide not to play further

[vapid forge]

Hadjar stats are rubbish

[steel trench]

Race start is all you care about

[vapid forge]

Surely you want your drivers to start high up with the Q on your car 🤷‍♂️

[steel trench]

Melbourne is not as bad. But focus on rs

[vapid forge]

So doesn’t matter about Q

[steel trench]

Race start tracks are very powerful

[vapid forge]

I know, race start can win you the race at every track pretty much

[steel trench]

It can. And it’s not only first lap either

[vapid forge]

My Q and PU are fairly balanced, will show you after this race I’m about to lose I think 😄

[steel trench]

I’ve had races in s11 on Melbourne where I’ve started 21-24 and I’m 9-11 with mediocre race start drivers

[vapid forge]

Yup lost another one. 🤬 🤬 🤬

I’ll try it

1. Your levels are way higher
2. I don’t have The Spire

[steel trench]

Wait

[vapid forge]

?

[steel trench]

Try this:

Alonso -> Coulthard -> Fischella -> Bearman. I assume Alonso + Bearman would work well

[wind stag]

Works for me in series 5

[steel trench]

I'm not maxed out, my rares are around 7-8, commons are around 8 too. You should be relatively close to me

[mossy cove]

Hi

[vapid forge]

I didn’t fancy using me Legacy Points on him tho

[vapid forge]

Hi

[steel trench]

Then use Alonso & Bearman without any legacy points

[vapid forge]

Yeah I’ll see how it goes

Alonso level 1 🤭 🤣

[leaden terrace]

How do people get max drivers so fast? I’ve burned through timing crates and played relentlessly since start and not even close.

What am I missing?

[vapid forge]

@steel trench with the chart you showed me

[leaden terrace]

What sprints are you grinding?

[steel trench]

You are rushing up too fast

[steel trench]

Do some upgrades. And try. Just see what works for you. But Alonso & Bearman upgraded will be pretty good

[leaden terrace]

I’m in S8, most people in my team are well above me

[vapid forge]

Yeah I’ll try work on upgrading, at least I haven’t rushed 😅 😄

What do you suggest them

My setup with supernova

Getting there 😅

Yeah I’ll do couple races, see how well they go 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[steel trench]

Compare to the general population. Majority are far from S8 😄

[leaden terrace]

Everyone I speak to and in my group all seem on that series or higher 🤷‍♂️

[vapid forge]

I don’t have the facilities for TR’s spreadsheet

[steel trench]

You are speaking to a very limited set of people that are heavily invested in the game. Most top tier clubs would have a split between a) people going pretty high and b) people staying low to farm low level sprints and unlock Asset Trading

[leaden terrace]

Fair enough, makes me feel better losing every race then and providing everyone with free coins

[vapid forge]

No, on my iPad and phone it comes up with this

[steel trench]

Press File -> Save a Copy

[leaden terrace]

It doesn’t let you stay low or you can’t compete dailies etc as you need to race in your highest GP.

You also don’t get pit pass trophies when farming low level gps?

Or am I missing something

[vapid forge]

I did 😉

[steel trench]

And did you open your own copy to edit it?

[vapid forge]

No, not sure how to do all that 😄

[steel trench]

You can drop flags in earlier series to "hold" a series. This way you can still do your highest unlocked series races in the highest series you have. I.E. (don't quote me as I'm not in the app) - drop 200 flags in series 5 so you wouldn't be able to unlock series 7 for example. You will always be short of flags to unlock series 7, even if you race only in S6

[vapid forge]

Yes got it

[gray salmon]

Wow

[leaden terrace]

Once you’ve unlocked though you can’t reverse it? Do you lose on purpose once you get close?

[gray salmon]

This is some good info for next season haha

[steel trench]

Yes, you do it BEFORE you unlock a new series. You can't do it after that

[gray salmon]

Unfortunately late for this year

[vapid forge]

Yes I’ll go look at my setup and begin my S5 victory path hopefully

[leaden terrace]

When in a team though you always gain more flags than you lose. You’d have to throw 2/3 losses for every win?

[gray salmon]

There is a cap on every series. If you have maxxed your flags on s6, you can’t get any more

[steel trench]

Real example - I need 1445 flags to unlock s12. If I max out s11 I will gain 1752 more. That means I need to drop 306 flags in series 1-10 to hold s11

[leaden terrace]

Oh that makes sense, fair enough. Then you can just grind S11

So when I get close to unlocking S9, lose loads in S1-5 to drop my flags

[steel trench]

Indeed. This way I can grind S11 (which will be my highest series) as long as I want and I would not unlock S12 until I want to. At that point - I do one race in S10 or whatever and get the needed flags

[leaden terrace]

And grind S8

Wish I knew this 4 weeks ago rather than getting slapped every race 😂

[steel trench]

We've been promoting this for quite some time 😄

Even if it isn't the most succesful strategy this year

[leaden terrace]

Haven’t always been on discord

[gray salmon]

So would you just (for example, I am in S8 now I think) start races in series 5 and 6 and just forfeit?

[leaden terrace]

And first time back on clash since 2021

[steel trench]

To drop flags? Yes. And I've done it before

[leaden terrace]

I’d probably start at 1-4 since it’s cheaper

I’m broke and can’t gift anymore away lol

[steel trench]

Whatever gets you to 1 flag below the target needed to unlock the highest series

[gray salmon]

I was wondering how I should do that. I wanna stay in this series for money and do s3 for chests, but then I need to deplete other series to stay out of S9

[steel trench]

Max out series 3, drop flags in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - whatever is needed to stay in S8

[leaden terrace]

I always thought just to rush to best series as you get more money from free crates/coin crate

Even if you start and just play for dailies you can accumulate a little bit of money just by watching ads

Also get better rewards from pit pass etc

[steel trench]

This year it might be a better strategy. It's still early to say but it's not as bad as it was last year for sure

[leaden terrace]

Is asset trading that big of a deal to unlock asap? Ive never experienced it

[steel trench]

It can help up to level ~4 for epics (if you have the asset unlocked and the money to upgrade). Apart from that? No. It's not worth it. Despite what people would try and convince you 😄

[vapid forge]

@steel trench @woeful dagger think I’ve found a way to win, put all starter parts except from aeroblade so you get hutch bot not using drs

[leaden terrace]

Does having 1 amazing driver/1 common driver still a tactic that works?

[vapid forge]

Yes it does

[leaden terrace]

So get 1 that finishes 1st, one that finishes 24th

Isn’t that the red bull strat in real life?

[vapid forge]

Yeah probably lol.

[steel trench]

If works up to some series. It’s wrong, teaches you nothing and when it stops working - you have to adapt and forget bad habits. I wouldn’t do it

[leaden terrace]

I watched the f1 clash help vid and that made me worse 😂

Are you meant to only use red engine mode on corners and medium/slow on straights

[gray salmon]

Used it a lot but since I got better parts I have a setup for S3 which gets me P1 and p2 every time without using boosts

Then the race ends a lot faster

[austere stratus]

not really, Since you get P1 and a much lower place. And oponnent can just go P2 + P3 and you have P1+P10 for example

[steel trench]

While it works it's fine. But what when you hit the point where it doesn't and you have to learn proper game mechanics? 😄

Why not learn it from the start ?

[austere stratus]

Today was a good day. i got 10 epic Bortoleto cards and upgraded from lvl 2 to lvl 3. WIll be usefull when the 10% boost comes

[gray salmon]

Good point. I just used it in the start of the season (started late last season so rather new to the game mechanics). It worked quite well, good driver got around 10th place , bad driver 24th and opponent 19/21 or so. But as you say, there is a point it stops working

[steel trench]

Indeed. And then you have to forget everything you picked up along the way while doing it and actually start from scratch. Which wastes your time

Oh no, I started getting @charred hatch bot 😭

[austere stratus]

why is his bot such a problem? you rather play vs a person with boosts?

[charred hatch]

So Bad? 🤣

[steel trench]

I'm joking 😄 It's more that we're in such a small circle of players that it's a small world ;D

I've given my bot to @stark crown , i've played him too, now Porsche F1, i've met others around here also

[austere stratus]

in which series do you play? S12?

[thorn hearth]

Anyone looking for series 6 set up this is absoutley perfect.

My drivers.

[tardy falcon]

I have play F1clash 2 years ago so much and 1 year I rested and come back this year to try .. gone from seria 1 to 12 without spending too much € .. but gone using my boost i had saved years ago .. and now iam in seria 12 and i see something same car same driver with boosts top5-8 without boosts 14-17😂 what the hell is going? I use boosts i win without any big problem.. i dont use boosts i loose badly !! And now dont have anymore boosts so someone to confirm me now in f1 clash 2025 need boosts to win in seria 11-12 ? Because if is like this better to left again😂 whatever no boosts no win same car same driver!!

My account without boosts cant win even in seria 10😂 with boosts fly in seria 12 . Something strange is !

[valid kelp]

hey y'all im a newbie but have been playing since last season well yeah still a newbie because just discover about F1 game last season and i deleted because i crashed out while playing this game like this season my team score is aroun 588 but when i play i got an enemy with a team score above me, around 673 or 621. does anyone here have a advice?

and like when i reduced my team score to 444 i also got an enemy with team score around 500 or 521

[fading kiln]

Am I the only one that find the DRS activate button co Stanley getting I erupted by the pit stop messages, man this is bad, put the DRS activate at the top....

[steel trench]

11, almost 12

[blissful kestrel]

Complained about this ages ago

Cost me several races

[thorn hearth]

Just press it before tyres go to 35% 🤣

[blissful kestrel]

Especially when I’ve been in close battles with my opponents

[thorn hearth]

But yeh that message is annoying when using drs caught me out a few times

[blissful kestrel]

Yeah but there are races where it’s faster to let tyres drop to zero than doing an extra pit stop

And also sometimes I forget

Also the main issue is when I’m about to press the drs button when the pit messages spam up, there was this once when I trying to activate drs and accidentally pitted for wets on the last lap of a completely dry race

[bronze shuttle]

Hi

[stark crown]

Haven't touched S11 in last 24 hours.. if you get me , it's my bot ! ..... Making merry of coins urges in S12 for some badly needed upgrades.. winning easily with ballast of all things.. never knew what to do with those..lolz... Time to burn some of them

[stark crown]

No it's not !!! If some goes almost full PU with some speed , this can be taken apart easily...that high qualy won't save you against someone who knows how to manage PUn

[fathom nest]

1st 2 races of the day, 2 SC's ... thanks for the ruined sprints

[stark crown]

Did few s12 s spardiocally.. but I never go for sprints.. ingot 2 5th today

Not worth frantic playing

[fathom nest]

I think SC's are directly proportional to power ups lol

[vague apex]

how come you have that many coins?

[stark crown]

But in the races I had SC , for some reason always Mexico in rain, I could pull off sainz and fasly with 1 stop.. got few 1st too with sainz lolz.. sometimes, he is rocket in mexico goes from 20plus to 2-4 within half a lap, others gets stuck

[stark crown]

That's not many... I am sitting on 331 mil after doing few 200mil/ 100 mil upgrades... Higher races will give out more payout.. with coin rush, it's even more

[thorn hearth]

Nothing to upgrade at the moment?

[fathom nest]

He he almost a Billion 😂 😂

[thorn hearth]

Well I'm on a 12 win streak at the minute. Of course I'll play better people who will beat me but it works.

[vague apex]

I need a lot of coins to upgrade my car and driver 😭😭

[stark crown]

That's good.. I am just calling out some fallacies of full qualy setup on PU tracks, cornering, it works mostly..

And don't read too much into winning streak.. it's not too valuable... Here's mine

You will be a bit sad once you lose your longest streak though... Takes time to build it !

There are players here with 500+ win streaks !

[fathom nest]

S1 players ... 😂 😂

[stark crown]

Win is a win !

[fathom nest]

Mine is 217 in S10 only atm... lost it to a good rp lol. He beat me fair and square!

[stark crown]

Reminds me of myself last year when I was struggling with setups , experimenting, lamenting lack of coins and whatnot

[vague apex]

can anyone help me set up my car and driver?

I'm still a beginner

[stark crown]

I think i completed whole of S11 over 2 days with about dropping 3-4 races max

[stark crown]

Best tip anyone can give you is stick to series stats and choose your best assets.. use pinned TR sheet with highest driver/ component tab to figure out upgrade path and play in a series where you win a lot by building up coins

And experiment from there

There is no fixed setup that can make you win

[vague apex]

but does every circuit have different criteria?

[stark crown]

Yep.. one driver and track stat .. what series are you in ?

[vague apex]

series 3 apex predator

still confused to install what is good for my car

[stark crown]

You need a cornering setup with all round drivers

As I said, use TR sheet

[vague apex]

Maybe there is something that can be corrected again?

[late echo]

Hola

[vague apex]

sup bro

[vague apex]

this is making me even more dizzy😁😁

[stark crown]

This game takes a bit to be used to.. not candy crush saga ..😂😂😂

All about numbers and optimisations

Goodnight folks.. see you all tomorrow

[vague apex]

damn bro This is quite effective apparently

one more question first upgrade the car or the driver?

[stark crown]

First time since I started this season, I am breaking even on epics ..

Almost

[vague apex]

thank bro

[zealous reef]

What driver is the best for serie 3?

[burnt bear]

What the hell is this bro

[wooden musk]

That's Max Verstappen, 4 time F1 World Champion
🏆 🏆🏆🏆

[steel trench]

It’s a level 4 to 5 upgrade of a series 9 card

[burnt bear]

its 100m for a series where i only get 5m for a win (2.5m profit)

[steel trench]

42 wins to upgrade it. You should see the higher levels which are even more 🤣

[valid cargo]

Hey everyone, newish to the game, have about 5000 bucks saved up from the small offers and such. What exactly does everyone do with them? Other then opening their little crates to keep space for the better ones.

[pure quest]

.

[steel trench]

That’s it, nothing else you need to do

[fluid glade]

Profit is $7.5m per win under Coin Rush so in reality it is 14 net wins for this upgrade

[steel trench]

You don’t always have a coin rush though

[fluid glade]

Yeah you kinda do with the milestones system

[steel trench]

3 slots with 3 hours per week? What about the other times?;)

[fluid glade]

Haha

12 hours this week 😉

Edit: 14 wins is less than 2 hours…

[steel trench]

Fine, 4 times.

How many can pull off 3 hours non-stop 4 times in a week ?

Do they help? Absolutely. But it’s still a steep price for one of the earlier upgrades too

[fluid glade]

Yep

[oak dagger]

And that’s just one level for one asset.. Now multiply that by 8 for the other S9 assets..

[vapid forge]

I’m seriously thinking about deleting one of my two accounts as life is getting busy and the game gets in the way sometimes with crate slots etc

[mortal shore]

@opal carbon where can i report this guy?

[vapid forge]

Cause I’ve got to go and I’m right in middle of a sprint but I’ve to go now so not sure what to do.

[vapid forge]

I’ve someone to report to as well, but later, someone out laughing emojis and I’m going to report them

[vestal remnant]

Well next year you wont race there

Hello everyone,

If I don't use DRS in my Series 7 configuration, will I only have opponents without DRS?

[night trellis]

[night trellis]

You can meet people with or without DRS doesn't matter if you have Drs or not

It's based on what car setup your up against

Omg why isn’t Madrid ingame yet ?

[fathom nest]

OMG Qatar is still in queue 😂 😂

[steel trench]

I gave up on that one already 😀

[stable pasture]

Ok, thanks.

[night trellis]

@opal carbon 😆

[vestal remnant]

To be fair, Sam said for now we wouldnt have new tracks... for now...

[night trellis]

For now....
who said we can't even Qatar later on, now they have to make Madrid as well

[vestal remnant]

And we are almost having Brad pit as a epic s12 driver 99 all

[fathom nest]

Madrid will come in 2030 here 🤣 🤣

[vestal remnant]

Why so positive?

[oak dagger]

No, Legendary L13

130 stats

[vestal remnant]

Dont give them ideas

[vestal remnant]

0,0000000001% drop rate

[night trellis]

I can't wait to see brad pit in game for 10K bucks for 1x

[vestal remnant]

Who s senna compared to Brad pit

[night trellis]

Who's senna? I only heard about brad pit being so good

[oak dagger]

Bruno. He was average

😏

[vestal remnant]

Yeah when we speak about senna the first that comes to mind its bruno senna

[burnt bear]

0 legends again, lovely 😍

[dawn swift]

yea opened 6 couldn't even get the 25% to get a legendary driver

some pull rate this is, just sheer luck as usual

[wispy lagoon]

R we allowed to do this in gps?

Cuz some people want to get the 20 gp races for objective and r worried they cant get to finals

So they get as little points as possible by using wets

[pure pawn]

The items in the objective store don't change with the series???

[oak dagger]

Its locked for the week.

[pure pawn]

Fair

[oak dagger]

A little annoying

Something else to factor in when progressing through series 🫠

[oak dagger]

Odd one. It doesn’t directly impact the rival unless you get lapped and start blocking them.

[dawn swift]

this is so balanced like

im so happy i play this knowing i can start at the back and my opponent can start on the 2nd row

👍👍👍😊😊😊

[oak dagger]

Improve your qualifying and you can start there?

[dawn swift]

yeah improve my qualifying to where I compromise everything else and then I fall back anyway

you’re a genius aren’t you my friend

[oak dagger]

Which is likely what the rival did!

[stark crown]

I told you earlier .. no point playing 2 accts

[dawn swift]

yeah thats why he ended 1-2 right

[opal carbon]

Much easier to do from 4/13 than it is 19/24

[oak dagger]

Clean air is quick air. Dirty air is slow air.

Some tracks are better than others for qualifying setups

[dawn swift]

yeah well, had i get good matchmaking i would be able to put up a fight and not fall back so far

[steady obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[opal carbon]

Your opponents Team Score was 1142 while yours was 1115. This was not a matchmaking issue but a setup issue

[oak dagger]

Russell for S10 isn’t great unless you Q near the front.

[pure pawn]

If he strengthens his qualification, he will receive another one with a better qualification 😄There is always one stronger 🤣

However, how can I not automatically start another sprint if I finish 4th or 5th?

[oak dagger]

Russell’s worst stats is Defending. It’s a Defending series. You expect him to perform well?

[oak dagger]

I don’t know how for the coin ones.

[dawn swift]

what bronze gp is defending

[pure pawn]

Then my day is over 😐

[dawn swift]

no course of variety

[oak dagger]

It says it in-game.

Complain all you want about MM, but if you’re not selecting a suitable loadout then..

[oak dagger]

#🏎│real-f1-chat and #🙊│off-topic-and-memes would be better

[viscid patio]

Oh oops

[dawn swift]

im not gonna sit there and scroll through every track cycle to know what to prioritise when the tracks are randomised anyway, bar that im gonna get outmatched and then get told its a setup issue, increase your qualifying, i then comprimise every other stat and my car wont perform well, then i get told its defending, so my drivers with high defending most likely wont defend cause of my car underperforming, its a non stop cycle

but no sir, it must be me thats the problem 🤷‍♂️

[opal carbon]

Every Series has 1 dominant Track Stat across all tracks. That is shown on the Series card before racing.

[oak dagger]

It is for ignoring track stats with Russell.

[dawn swift]

who has the highest qualifying... im trying to maximise position gained aswell as him having good overtake stat i'll presume he can get by fairly, or does that get trumped completely by defending

[oak dagger]

It doesn’t get completely trumped, but I’d advise stacking into the Track Stats as much as possible and then make subtle changes to the other stats.

I’d rather have a driver with 99 Defending and 1 Overtaking than a driver who’s 50-50.

[dawn swift]

ok so i've 'tweaked' my setup and line up, my ts is at 1079, whats the maximum ts i should be facing

[oak dagger]

It’s not that the non track stats do not matter, they’re there for min-maxing for each specific track.

[oak dagger]

A rough guide is +/-10%.

[oak dagger]

But it depends if you’re on the higher or lower side of the population for that Series.

[dawn swift]

well the low side is 1050, the high side is 1300

[oak dagger]

Verstappen over Russell is already going to make a massive difference

[dawn swift]

except imma have poor race starts

like across the board anyway

[oak dagger]

I personally wouldn’t run Aero Blade or have my PU too high. 3 Cornering tracks and 1 Speed track. Any stat that is not “needed” only adds to your TS and MM

[dawn swift]

so what should i use

[oak dagger]

Yes. That’s the balance you need to find with selecting 2 drivers.

[oak dagger]

Test and see.

[dawn swift]

well now im below the minimum threshold at 1039

[oak dagger]

Follow the track stats. See what is effective and what isn’t. Do you think DRS is good for the tracks you’re racing on? Does it help you in a race or could you save the TS increase DRS adds?

Only you can really make those decisions based on your situation.

[dawn swift]

i understand it now.

[thorn hearth]

Hi guys I'm moving into series 7 today. What should I prioritise? Thank you

[opal carbon]

The Track Stat for Series 7

[thorn hearth]

I checked the tracks one

2x power
1x speed
1x cornering

[scenic mountain]

Tyre management is probably the most important.

[thorn hearth]

Wanted to find the balance

[opal carbon]

Every Track has 2 Track Stats

[thorn hearth]

Is they a way to make tyre managments better or is it just the driver?

[rugged lion]

Hi Sam, it is correct series 11/12 Tire management?

[opal carbon]

Yes

[steel trench]

Oh a bit early this time

[fathom nest]

Did I guess correctly??? I was in 2 minds between RS and TM

[scenic mountain]

Which drivers have you got that have Tyre Management as their best stat (not who has the best TM, but who has TM as their highest value)?

[thorn hearth]

@scenic mountain

[dawn swift]

😭 as soon as i prioritise cornering, i get monza

this is actually funny i cant

[fathom nest]

I run higher speed and I get Zandvoort and Monaco all the time 😂 😂

[dawn swift]

i run with whatever the track stat says cause thats how u win apparently

[fathom nest]

Like 4 point diff in Speed than Cornering but it is funny

[wispy lagoon]

For series 10 i just do monaco and zandvoort and i forfeit austria and monA

[scenic mountain]

Epic Bearman appears to work in that series. And Coulthard has high TM stat, so should also work. I used Rare Ocon through that series instead, but you don't have him so DC should work too.

[fathom nest]

That does not make sense? Is it because they are 10 and 9 laps?

[thorn hearth]

Thank you. Now going down to car what would you prioritise in series 7?

Speed cornering power unit? Thank you.

[wispy lagoon]

No cuz i run full conering

I sacrificed speed

[fathom nest]

Ah okay I read it differently 🤣 🤣

[wispy lagoon]

Its either i get easy rivals at monxa or austria or i get better rivals at monaco and zandvoort

[steel trench]

It’s still weird

[fathom nest]

I run a bit balanced in speed and cornering in S10 with a dash of qualifying and it works fine. Bortoleto Epic is a beast at L5.

[wispy lagoon]

And i always get rivals that run very good driver and series 1 driver

Like series 12 driver and series 1 hadjar

[fathom nest]

That still works?

I am running Bortoleto L5 and Norris 😁

[burnt rover]

Probs should have added that to help section my bad

[wispy lagoon]

I just use self-control on my epic borteleto

Then i try to get my rare max to high position and i might still win

I win most of the time cuz their series 1 driver is always last

[ripe trench]

@opal carbon you were busy yesterday and I guess you didn’t see the message: contender group which Davor Os won, is it 1st or 2nd strongest? Thanks.

[opal carbon]

It's not detail I'm going to share

[ripe trench]

Ok. You told someone he’s in 3rd strongest.

[steel trench]

One way to find out 😀

[opal carbon]

I did as it was relevant to that conversation

[steel trench]

🥹

[ripe trench]

Ok then. How the hell I’m in group with ppl with P1 contender when I don’t have one? 🤣
edit: how am I in strongest contender group?

[steel trench]

Are there enough people just with p1 contender to be able to form a group just with them?

[opal carbon]

Because grouping is not based solely on previous GP experience in that specific tier but experience in all tiers.

[fathom nest]

And in no way related to previous season correct? All reset... just checking don't shoot the rookie in 2025

[opal carbon]

Correct

[steel trench]

There have been only 4 gps so far, 2024 doesn’t count

[fathom nest]

Meant to write season, not system 😂 😂

[opal carbon]

There have only been 4 GPs in the 2025 Season

[rough maple]

That’s a bummer already in a though group

[vestal remnant]

Well but i could

[vestal remnant]

Well... groups are with 100 people... only 52 per year... even if all in the same group all year some won't get one

[oak dagger]

I finally got Sainz this morning. Still no Gasly.

[dawn swift]

yeah idk how im losing

[night trellis]

I know I won't stay this week 😆

[steel trench]

Gasly I got at 2 😀 with a lucky sprint I might also get him to 3

[night trellis]

..............

This is just making fun of me, I need just 1 sainz

[oak dagger]

You won’t see him for a few weeks 🤭

[night trellis]

A few weeks minimum lol can't wait to see how long will it take me

[final cliff]

Is it ok? (green crate)

[steel trench]

Restart game, old visual bug

[dawn swift]

does it say on the track map that monza's always raining

yea i give up this is a rerun of last season u hit a wall and cant progress unless u just exploit the game for easy asset trading and get nonsense icba

[sudden breach]

@opal carbon do the objectives only count in the highest available series? im in series 9 and just did some races in series 8 and did not count towards objectives...

[steel trench]

Tap the objective. They do mention highest unlocked series and gps

[sudden breach]

thanx

[quiet thunder]

lvl 3 already...
damn

[stark crown]

Once levelled up 4 and above he is the best !

[long vessel]

Still, it means he didn't enter the first 3 GPs. How can he end up in a strong group, let alone the strongest one? Is GP result the sole factor for GP groupings?

[vital radish]

If I race at a lower series than my highest unlocked series will I be entered into a sprint league?

[oak dagger]

Sadly won’t be useful for the next rotation. And the driver I will need I don’t have

[opal carbon]

The first GP is always an exception as there is no GP history to refer to. Other mechanisms are used to group the Player with similar strength opponents. After the first GP, their GP history is the gauge.

[vestal remnant]

When we have a system without progression and with SBMM that no one can really tell exactly how it works its what we get

[rich gazelle]

シリーズ10何をやっても勝てないのだけど。勝たせてくれよ

[lean obsidian]

The groupings are a complete mystery but I’ve ended up with the best start to any past season so far. I’m playing more slowly this season so flag count not as high. Would that impact any GP groups?

[stark crown]

This is bad... I have been building up my assets not doing GPs in the hopes of getting easier pass in the first GP... That's all a waste now ?

First GP was , atleast last year, best chance to get highest possible position.... With this change , it doesn't look like so, as someone following along similar lines, might have made up more ground

[opal carbon]

I haven't provided any detail as to what the mechanisms are that are used.

[opal carbon]

It's exactly the same as last season

[supple plank]

Guys how to make red bull paint of bolid?

[stark crown]

You implied similar strengths .. meaning level playing field , for someone with no GP history ! Or I might be placed in higher groups as my assets are at higher level due to build up ??

[opal carbon]

There are multiple ways to gauge this.

[stark crown]

Maybe paint your phone in redbull vinyls ? And colours ?

[supple plank]

I don’t know

[stark crown]

Ok .. will see.. done one junior GP so far , will move up this cycle to be my first challenger or contender ... I hope my flags or asset levels don't put me at a disadvantage

[stark crown]

I was just joking !

[supple plank]

Ok

[supple plank]

Then the red bull will sponsor me

[opal carbon]

If you've made it to the final round of a previous GP this season, my previous comment is not relevant to your GP groupings

[lean obsidian]

I started out this season with the challenge of not progressing to the next level of GP until I’d got a 1st in each. Always dashed ahead to the more difficult ones in the past. Seems to have worked for me so far.

[dawn swift]

sure just DRS and not overtake that’s just perfect

[oak dagger]

Why on a corner? Why not on a straight where it’s more potent

[opal carbon]

DRS isn't very effective in corners

[dawn swift]

i activated it from exit turn 4

[opal carbon]

By mistake?

[dawn swift]

no i overtook ocon and then stroll decides to nascar bump bortoleto and not complete the overtake

it’s just funny how things can go so wrong for 1 player

[opal carbon]

Probably because you're not receiving any benefit from the DRS because it's not on a straight

[oak dagger]

What tyres is AI Bortoleto on? What tyres was AI Ocon on? That has a significant impact on your ability to overtake.

[dawn swift]

from what i heard about the DRS introduction it was to improve the speed and overtaking chance, yet i see my drivers dont want to overtake after they complete 1

[lean obsidian]

If that’s Austria use DRS only on the long straights. Never in a corner.

[dawn swift]

hard and hard if i remember correctly

[oak dagger]

It’s Spielberg

[lean obsidian]

Mustn’t type and race Monza at the same time 😂😂

[opal carbon]

It improves the speed and overtaking chance, most effectively on long straights. It has far less impact, if any, in corners.

[oak dagger]

Using/doing X doesn’t mean you should just pass like they don’t exist.

Sometimes you cruise through the field and other times you don’t. Like rolling a dice. You take the highs with the lows.

[dawn swift]

yes, t4-5 is a reasonably long straight and the overtakes happen at the exit of t5 as my drivers like to think its nascar manager and not f1 manager 🤷‍♂️ i cant control my drivers direction in where they should overtake im just pressing deploy and DRS activation

im not saying its your fault

im just saying its absurd that so many unlucky moments happen and i get screwed every single race

[dawn swift]

yes but not once has that happened, im having to fight my way through the field and then somehow the bot on the last lap has 70% ers to just dump on the final lap that DRS just becomes redundant

[oak dagger]

You can call it lucky you passed AI Ocon where you did.

[dawn swift]

so all the hard work i did the entire race leading to the final has been wiped out and i lose

[dawn swift]

no the drivers just slam into the side of the AI and complete it, nothing lucky its more dirty if we're linking it to irl

[opal carbon]

T4 is the end of a long straight that starts at T3.

Based on your screenshot, your DRS is active through T4 going into T5 which is not a straight, so not benefitting from DRS. This suggests your DRS was active at the end of the straight rather than through it.

[dawn swift]

im using aero blade which lasts quite a long time

[oak dagger]

That’s not what’s happening under the hood though. That’s just a visual representation of an outcome.

[dawn swift]

?

[opal carbon]

Despite it being active, it won't be providing any benefit through T4 and T5

[oak dagger]

You either overtake or you don’t based on an algorithm. What we see is just a visual representation of that

[dawn swift]

so its just by chance that i lose more positions than i gain every race, based on the algorithm

[oak dagger]

Stroll in a Defending Series? Same discussion as earlier.

[lean obsidian]

Have you optimised your setup? Could be one of the reasons why you’re losing positions every race.

[opal carbon]

No. It's a result of calculations comparing your car's stats, tyre, track position, etc against that of the opponent.

[dawn swift]

i literally have no other decent defending drivers mate what am i supposed to do

[oak dagger]

Strolls second worst stat is Defending.

[dawn swift]

a series 10 stroll

which trumps every other driver i have

[dawn swift]

ive tried to optimise it every single way, shape and form to where i can get good qualifying and not drop back in the field

[oak dagger]

Irrelevant

[dawn swift]

how?

[oak dagger]

There the “best” you have available in each stat and then there is the “best” in slot available

I’d rather use Doohan than Stroll for Defending tracks

[dawn swift]

so what am I doing wrong

imma comprimise my quali and race start just for an extra 7 defending

i dont see how this 1 singular value trumps everything else as everyone just flies by

[oak dagger]

Probably because you’re not using the one singular strong stat

[opal carbon]

https://hutch.helpshift.com/hc/faq/1699-what-are-track-stats/

[dawn swift]

so getting a poor start, dropping behind and losing is because i didnt have a good singular strong stat

[oak dagger]

Part of the big picture

[vestal remnant]

In short? Yes

[lean obsidian]

You need strong defending on a defending track

[oak dagger]

Track stats are key.

Repeat after me

[dawn swift]

i get that, but if i've dropped back i dont see how it means much unless my drivers act different each start

[dawn swift]

im not a child bro relax

[vestal remnant]

We can always argue tyre management as lets say a bad TM driver with higher def would make you with a worst strategy or even a RS driver or Q driver... but in general yes, the one with higher track stats will be the fastest on the track

[oak dagger]

Qualifying and Tyre management is always a track by track case

Monaco? I want Qualifying.
Barcelona? I don’t care about Qualifying as it’s so easy to overtake .

[lean obsidian]

Are you using boosts as well?

[dawn swift]

hard to use a nothing boost

[opal carbon]

What do Track Stats provide to you?

[vestal remnant]

Yes that's the thing... in some cases its better to take one with less track stats cuz he ll open other strats but in general it's the higher track stats driver

[dawn swift]

well mostly defending, then its cornering and speed

[opal carbon]

Wrong. Read the link I provided above

[oak dagger]

For GPs that’s very important. For Duels you can split and boost to cover 😂

[vestal remnant]

Leclerc and norris 2024 before the dificulty rised coff coff

[dawn swift]

i thought you meant in game

[lean obsidian]

Is that a no?

[opal carbon]

I did mean in-game

[dawn swift]

yes, its a no

[dawn swift]

as in, whats being shown in the series

[nova oyster]

hill in s4 💀

[lean obsidian]

I’d recommend boosting with one of the basic boosts which will also help on track.

[vestal remnant]

Wait... you expect people to read? In what world do you think you r in?

[dawn swift]

again, i dont have any boost

[opal carbon]

I know. I put too much faith in humanity

[dawn swift]

why u taking the mick i misunderstood the question

[wooden musk]

Do you not have bortoletto epic?

[scenic mountain]

Track stats give you a boost to all stats. In a series with defending as the consistent stat use drivers that have defending as the highest number across all their stats.

[vestal remnant]

It was a joke... based on previous experiences

[opal carbon]

The question about what Track Stats provides to you was asking what effect that have.

Your response tells me you don't understand Track Stats so provided a link to the explanation in the FAQ [here](#💬│f1-clash-general message)

[lean obsidian]

That won’t be helping either given how effective boosts are this season

[vestal remnant]

But in short... the higher value of track stats you have the fastest laps you ll get

[scenic mountain]

It's entirely possible to win without them as well, though. It just takes a little longer, and requires better alignment of your car setup to the track stats.

[oak dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/drinking-coffee-ttthefineprinttt-take-a-sip-swinging-on-a-hammock-camping-gif-25829253

[lean obsidian]

Only non-boosted players I’m facing this season are bot players. And the AI for some of the drivers is off the scale 😂

[vestal remnant]

Was last year too, we are just weaker now and it shows more

[lean obsidian]

I get that. The OP says their stats are optimised so what else to do 🤷‍♂️

[oak dagger]

There’s also been a shuffling of the drivers stats which affects the AI more than people notice.

[brazen fjord]

On iOS is there a way to change my username from the generic one? Also my picture?

[vestal remnant]

Picture its FB based... name yes you can go to profile and edit name

[wooden musk]

Might also be worth to farm some coins in S9 first since you don't even have enough entry fees for two S10 races. Not a good idea to race S10 when you're still not confident enough to win it, especially without boosts to give you an edge.

[brazen fjord]

Where is edit profile? I only see account management in settings and there are no options in there.

[scenic mountain]

The guy's using Stroll on a defending series... It isn't optimised, however much he wants to claim it is.

[vestal remnant]

On the main screen top left corner there is your player ID name... press it and you ll get a screen with "edit name"

[opal carbon]

Tap on your name on the home screen.

Yup. It's part of work to move away from relying on Facebook and providing some other account connection options.

[oak dagger]

It doesn’t have to be like that 😆

[vestal remnant]

Not has to be like that... but here we are

[mighty pollen]

@opal carbon why will there be identical tracks when changing tracks at 11 and 12s?

[wooden musk]

Earn in-game profile pictures and its photos of all 20 drivers on the grid 😂

[opal carbon]

Are they identical?

[mighty pollen]

yes

[opal carbon]

The Track Stats are the same. The tracks themselves aren't published anywhere

[vestal remnant]

We know the tracks stats... we dont know the tracks, they not necessary have to be the same

[mighty pollen]

Will it stay that way?

[night trellis]

Why do we have to wait for the track rotation to go live to see the tracks,why can't we know the tracks for the element of surprise?

[steel trench]

Sam said yes

[opal carbon]

Not everything needs to be known beforehand

[mighty pollen]

I agree

[steel trench]

In a few weeks we will know the exact tracks too.

[night trellis]

I'm sad we will lose the RS track so good for Sprints as points are not too hard to get

[steel trench]

No thanks 😀

[vestal remnant]

Goodbye hungary... you wont be missed

[wooden musk]

How many TM tracks do we have. Spa, Bahrain, Jeddah, Silverstone, Spain... what else

[night trellis]

Oh this one definitely won't be missed but the others are nice

[vestal remnant]

Yeah the other ones are

[steel trench]

And all of this wet too

But spain its good, belgium for some reason too

[night trellis]

I love my level 3 Alonso with cuppa being in the top 3 by the end of lap 1 in Mexico

Now might be a good time to ask @opal carbon why we don't have any PU Defending tracks this season. Or did I miss it somewhere?

[vapid forge]

Force close the app on last sprint epic!!

@opal carbon if I was to play a race in S2, could you stop my coin surge for 5 mins or no 🤣 (probably silly question)

[scarlet gyro]

Had to swipe up to bring the button and the game registered that touch

[opal carbon]

No

[vapid forge]

I’ll do it when coin surge has finished 😉 trying to get some coins for GP

[opal carbon]

There's no rush. Just looking for anyone to confirm 😉

[sinful crane]

go up to s9 then 😏

[vapid forge]

That’s ok then 😅 someone will probably confirm before but 🤷‍♂️

@opal carbon confirmation, pit lane acts normal in Suzuka

Thanks! DM me your Player ID and I can pop you a little thank you gift 👍

[vapid forge]

5 self control 😂

[wary epoch]

Water one?

[subtle crypt]

Hola!!

[opal carbon]

It's coming out of your account

[gray salmon]

Drain it!!! 😬

[steel trench]

Child lock it during school hours

Hagamos una carrera todos

[quiet thunder]

That was actually a good one👌

[mortal shore]

@opal carbon just saw this, its acting normal now

The pit lane I mean

[spark frost]

Crazy a series 9 verstappen is 💩 in series 6 without a higher cornering stat parts.

[opal carbon]

The Series of the Driver isn't important 😉

[spark frost]

I know im testing all the drivers I have rn. Figuring out the right parts for the right drivers myself 😁

[opal carbon]

Whatever works best for the Track Stats 😉

[dawn swift]

i cant find the drop rates for free crates and coin crates can someone send them

[sterile pawn]

I got to series 7 and I stopped winning completely cause all cars are like 80-100 points stronger

Real issue or massive skill issue? 😞

[astral magnet]

Skill issue 🤓

[dawn swift]

ermmmm

change setup and look at track stats like everyone said earlier

[steel trench]

Did you change your setup when you moved up?

[sterile pawn]

Not really, i have the same as the one i had in series 6. It's the highest team score tho. I'm not sure if it matters judging but how terrible they perform

[steel trench]

s6 is all about power unit, s7 - about tyre management - and out of the 4 tracks just 2 are power unit based

You will suffer on Spain and Silverstone no matter how high the TS is. TS is not a good indicator

[wary epoch]

@opal carbon working okay, just cars pathing little weird

[wind aspen]

For the sponsor tasks based coins in objective store, what do you guys find better value in during redemption- 1x Platinum or 3x Gold and 1x Race Crate?

[scarlet gyro]

Did my first race without touching the screen, just with voice commands

Android Voice access, if only F1 Clash had accessibility and added labels to buttons, it would be easier

[steel trench]

I’m sure that can’t be abused no

[vapid forge]

They’re touching the grass 💀 💀

[dreamy vigil]

Any news about the club tournaments?

[slow sparrow]

they dont even give normal rewards in sprintsd why ask for this as its only pay to play game

more taken from players each year this will result in more players for short time long term players leave the game

[feral tartan]

765 vs 834!

To the people at Hutch, what is the point?

Why should I waste my precious spare 7 mins playing this game if you are going to matchmake like this, I want to truly understand the thought process behind this?

[mortal shore]

@burnt rover @wary epoch hope you are proud of your clan members.

@final wasp reported

[red lintel]

Why wets on dry track?

[blazing marsh]

Hello agen .I communicate in game with support.and I gave my mail . I didn't take answer from yesterday. It's simple on champion I just finish 72 and I didn't take Reputation. Is working like that or it was a bug;

[gritty vine]

It may take a bit longer for them to respond. If not, send in another ticket:

https://hutch.helpshift.com/hc/en/10-f1-clash/contact-us/?p=web

[knotty mantle]

@opal carbon I know i’m looking way ahead of time on this but … knowing how Imola is off the F1 Calendar next year, can we ask that we at least keep the track in game until Quatar becomes available (if ever) ?

[feral tartan]

I pray the opponent was a bot, I would have personally forfeited the race

[scarlet gyro]

Idiot wasting boosts

[red lintel]

That's what he gets for sandbagging the series

[vapid forge]

Save that question till 9am tomorrow 😉

[scarlet gyro]

Nah, I went to the series 3

[wary epoch]

Sorry mate, we warn our players about this babycry strategies, but we have more than 270 players, so we try our best to guide them. We warn him once more, if he do it again, we take action. Thanks for the report

[burnt rover]

Apologies from my behalf and the Captains it will be dealt with

[red lintel]

😂 Did the other guy set Hutch HQ on fire or what did he do to deserve this shi

Most diabolical matchup Ive seen so far

When I drop series I always get strong opponents still

[vapid forge]

I know, I’ve been getting them. The recommended to in s5 is like 550-800 and mine is around 650 and I’m getting 740 rivals! Like ? It’s not like I’m weak. Come on hutch! How many times have we asked?!! 🤬

[vapid forge]

Yeah, shouldn’t be doing that. Especially during sprint day. ❤️ legend

[vapid forge]

Not to sound rude but do you really need to waste Cuppa ? In a sprint, I mean you only get 5 epics now, just do them with no boosts 🤷‍♂️

[steel trench]

People still fixating on TS 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[scarlet gyro]

Dude wasted a ton of juice, if you see youre gonna lose, just forfeit

[vapid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-gif-11044008572353593456

[scarlet gyro]

How much was before?

[steel trench]

I repeat again and again and again - showing TS was the biggest mistake hutch did with the interface

[sullen stone]

If I reinstall the game will the track stats work properly or will they still be worthless rubbish .

[vapid forge]

Idk but you get the point 🤷‍♂️

[scarlet gyro]

How many epics

[vapid forge]

Why would they change 💀 🤣

[vapid forge]

I’d say worthless rubbish 🤷‍♂️ 😉

[vapid forge]

Not sure. I only started playing end of 2023

[sullen stone]

[scarlet gyro]

Thank God there's no more breakdowns

[vapid forge]

Yeah they did 😅

[vapid forge]

We’d be pitting every lap 🤣 🤣

[young barn]

Since a week it rains in Monza. How could I not have read about the flood in the newspaper?

[scarlet gyro]

We need more gamemodes

[vapid forge]

There was a flood on the f1 track in Monza?

[steel trench]

People don’t understand one and you want more? 🤣

[blazing marsh]

And suddenly the game have me the Reputation 🙂

[vapid forge]

Who says they don’t understand one?

[atomic dagger]

Make it bigger number wins
You just put your team score against another player and bigger number wins with some fancy graphics.

You win TScoins that make your TS higher.

It's self contained from the rest of the game

[young barn]

Must to be. It is always raining there. I have just won a race with motorboat.

[steel trench]

You are reading the messages here right ? And you wonder ?

[steel trench]

This is how people think it works now

[atomic dagger]

Exactly

[vapid forge]

Maybe 😏

[vapid forge]

You had motorboat race

[young barn]

I was the only one with boat

[vapid forge]

It never rains in Monza. It’s always sunny

[royal garnet]

I feel the same in S2 and 3😭

[vapid forge]

That’s how it was for me in S5 🤣 🤣

[red lintel]

Yep, wasn't ready to start S7 until after I got all the flags for S6

[royal garnet]

I'm a newbie in this game and it really feels weird sometimes

[vapid forge]

I’m getting few more wins now for some reason

[knotty mantle]

In no way, shape or form is this type of behavior acceptable. Thanks for flagging.

No need to be cheeky and call out Mr @burnt rover and asking if he’s proud of the behaviour of 1 dude out of all the people in the VRT family.

This game isn’t the easiest to get messages thru from top to bottom of 1 Club (or many).

As Preco mentioned, we will deal with the issue internally and reinforced once again the message across the board… I wish all teams and Clubs would do the same to get rid of this stupid behavior.

Cheers mate @mortal shore

[young barn]

I'm serious mate. It's really annoying thar in S10 every race is rainy in Monza. I'm the only one with this honor?

[wary epoch]

Damn, Jeddah is so fast. 376 km/h 😂

[young barn]

With 50km/h backwind😂

[red lintel]

Drag Reduction System ❌

Drag Removal System ✅

[oak dagger]

Static weather. In S11 it only rains on Australia.

[wary epoch]

Wasnt there sometimes back litle hint on every track in series, that how much possible is rain there?

[oak dagger]

Irrelevant now for S10+ as it’s fixed weather for each track.

I’m not a fan of it. I would prefer the old % system.

Doing the same 4 tracks is boring enough, now it’s the same weather too. Because there’s no variation with the weather, it means every race is the same strategy.

[vapid forge]

I thought you meant real life lol. Tbh I’ve never had that much rain in Monza

[vapid forge]

Must be the DRS 😅

[wary epoch]

Only in s9 now, didnt knew about that. So thats sad...

[rough maple]

Every race in monza is raining. takes forever to finish the race

[vapid forge]

Every race or specific series? Might be because I’m only in S5?

[oak dagger]

Yup. No more mixed weather races in duels either. Completely fine with it for GPs as it gives the same conditions for everyone.

[rough maple]

Only monza in s10

[vapid forge]

That’s why, at least I know what to expect 🤦‍♂️ 🫣 🤣

[wary epoch]

Why is that a thing in duels. Sometimes calculation even help you win harder duels, when your rival missread weather... I think thats step back

[night trellis]

Got myself in the top Sprints groups yay 😂

[vapid forge]

Mate, why do you look at the sprint group? By the way @wanton goblet is in it 🤣

[wanton goblet]

Im always done after one day with sprint race. Always begin with other players that already 47 points. But I am happy for you that you have something to laugh at😆 😉

[night trellis]

Cuz I want to see my position plus I noticed in in the top groups

[night trellis]

Yes I'm in S12 racing now

[wanton goblet]

Thats a big compliment being part of a top group

[vapid forge]

Yeah shows how good he is 😄 ☺️

[night trellis]

But it ain't fun lol can't get P1 anymore and with p2 giving less than 4 epics most of the time and P3 with no epics most if the time its really 💩

[night trellis]

Shows I grinded a lot to be in s12

[vapid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-did-vinny-assisted-living-s3e4-for-sure-gif-25257523

[wanton goblet]

Yes I already know he's good. And do you have any screenshots of glory?

[night trellis]

At least the pit pass will be S12

[wanton goblet]

No every monday i start positive with the sprints and even if i win everything and no sc i end often a p4. And if i end at p1 or p2 the crate is not satisfiying me. So after a couple of sprints im done 😂 and i open every crate i win so that takes extra time, it wont help winning

[night trellis]

Yeah exactly lol, I'm just racing now sprints are just a small bonus I can't go up against the top guys

[vapid forge]

Unfortunately not 😄

[wanton goblet]

It will coming before end of season 😉

[vapid forge]

I’ll have some glory too hopefully, just you wait 😉

In our country the most famous airplanes has the name KLM so maybe you need to change your name to have quicker glorys

Not that much i see😉

[dusky orchid]

I'm so bored with defense tried to go back to 9 and finish up the flags but it's so tedious think ill just leave that one unfinished all the rest are done anyway. Plus im still getting the same opponents over and over either im good or the system is broken

[atomic dagger]

I did have the same opponent (bot) and track 3x in a row today

Felt very strange, like questioning if I actually had that happen or I've just played too much and need to touch grass

[dusky orchid]

Oh man 3 times that's lucky I've played 30 races against the same 4 opponents

No it absolutely happens

[night trellis]

🤣 🤣

[atomic dagger]

Wow lol

[teal igloo]

Should I change my Gearbox?

[dusky orchid]

@atomic dagger was great during a 3hr coin rush those guys took a whooping

[atomic dagger]

Real people or bots?

Beating the same people over and over...must suck for them

[steel trench]

Does your current series benefit more out of PU? Do you need the quali?

[steel trench]

If you get them 30 times in a row it’s 100% bots

[dusky orchid]

@atomic dagger I can't tell when the season first started I actually got some emojis in return now it never happens so I think im mostly racing lap times

[atomic dagger]

Also speaking of bots, what's the guest2747261 type usernames? Always bots or someone who hasn't registered or something?

I think all the ones I've met are bots, but I've not kept a log or anything

[teal igloo]

That’s why I’m asking because my series actually benefits for both

[dusky orchid]

@atomic dagger I think they are less bots and more relative lap times set by others but you can pretty well tell when they use all thier boost on the second lap and drs as soon as it's available nobody is gonna do that naturally

[vapid forge]

@woeful dagger I’m trying everything in S5, no drs and still losing. If I get real player I’ve lost

[atomic dagger]

Yeah that's a dead give away

[steel trench]

Thads the definition of bots 🤣

[steel trench]

Skill issue 🤪

[vapid forge]

Thought you were helping too 🤪

[steel trench]

You are doing something wrong. You can’t be losing that much in s5

[vapid forge]

Maybe skill issue 🙄 🙄 🙄

[wanton goblet]

Maybe it would be better to download a airplane game, you dont have to change name and your change of winning would probably higher...

[vapid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-brennan-huff-step-brothers-no-not-at-all-gif-16704124883174027526

[steel trench]

That’s what I said and you didn’t like it? You should be flying with race start in there

[wanton goblet]

@vapid forge you see, flying...

[vapid forge]

Getting matched with people 60ts ahead and I’m about done with this game tbh

[vapid forge]

Wdym download airplane game, doesn’t relate to me struggling 😅

[steel trench]

Upgrade your Bearman, it’s not going to be wasted as he’s useful

If you have some cheap upgrades for the parts that can give you power unit - do those also as they will be useful in s6 too

[wanton goblet]

Just a joke, spend some bucks and buy coins upgrade your drivers and parts

[vapid forge]

Do you think that’s good idea?

[steel trench]

No no no. He even said it’s a joke. Don’t

[wanton goblet]

Thats what i would do. Upgraded everything when i could

[wanton goblet]

The joke was about KLM and airplane game, a good match

[vapid forge]

I’ll have look tomorrow.

[steel trench]

As long as they don’t codeshare with Air France 🤣

[steel trench]

Don’t waste your bucks on coins. Not a good idea

[wanton goblet]

But if he dont win he only loose coins

[steel trench]

He has 5.8m, he can do a few upgrades

[wanton goblet]

I can check for you tomorrow i can make a good setup

[scarlet gyro]

Do you have time to stare at your sprint ranking?

[wanton goblet]

Yes he was sprinting against me

[vapid forge]

Will not 😉

[scarlet gyro]

Did he still win?

[atomic dagger]

Speaking of strategy @steel trench you've mentioned track stats over everything. Is it so extreme that at, say a PU track you'd happily run a car that's 1 for everything and 300 for pu if you could?

[vapid forge]

Just upgraded bearman now have 1.6 million, 🤦‍♂️ all that hard work getting coins up for GP 🤬

[wanton goblet]

Of course i stopped real sprinting on mondays at 12am

[vapid forge]

This game is pay 2 win

[steel trench]

What do you need coins for in a GP?!

[vapid forge]

Upgrading for races

[scarlet gyro]

No its not

[steel trench]

Well that helps you in actual duels too 🤷🏻‍♂️ you have to do them

[steel trench]

If I could and it’s a pu track - i would. But don’t forget the driver

[vapid forge]

Yes, that’s what grinding is for 😄

[wanton goblet]

You have to upgrade or go low in ts for duels

[steel trench]

And this is why hanging out in lower series is not easy and you have to find the correct balance

[fluid glade]

You have too much cornering. Upgrade Bearman and try it with Mach I engine instead of Mach II. You will lose quali but get better MM.

[vapid forge]

I only have assets up to S5

Except aeroblade 🫣

[scarlet gyro]

This means I didn't rush, if you're not winning the actual race, you shouldn't be racing in that series

[steel trench]

Mach I is series 1

[fluid glade]

Wait - you have AeroBlade?

Use it!!! - with Glide not Synergy for better quali and speed at Melbourne

[scarlet gyro]

Dont u have vortex?

[night trellis]

Yeah I even met this guy I don't know @vestal remnant

[steel trench]

You are having fun in s12 I see 🤣

[fluid glade]

Votex no good for s5 MM due to its wasted cornering

[scarlet gyro]

Another rabbit in season 10

[night trellis]

So much fun!!!!! 5k coins are too good to be true!!!!!!!!!

[scarlet gyro]

😂

Because you were staring while others were racing

[vestal remnant]

Maybe you should look less time to sprint group to not get the coins

[night trellis]

No because I had to to up the elevator with no internet so too much time lost on that one, plus I joined this group 1 race behind so

[scarlet gyro]

Dude that s#t is super tough, no time to look back, I dont even have time to queue crates

[vestal thunder]

Sorry.....

[night trellis]

Damn you all roasting me over this, cyber bulling over this

[hidden tinsel]

Can anyone assist me with understanding the controls, as I am finding difficulty understanding them?

As I'd like to start playing a bit better

[night trellis]

So you get the easy groups???? While I get the super hard ones 😍

[vestal thunder]

No, i just do them in 4 races 😂

[scarlet gyro]

no he doesn't stare at his sprint group 😂

[vestal remnant]

Oh here it's where the good rewards are... been all day looking for them

[night trellis]

Hungry every goddamn time gets me to do 5 races

[vestal thunder]

You want to see the two leg crates i opened today also? 🤭

[scarlet gyro]

What do u find difficult?

[vestal remnant]

Why not?

[night trellis]

I opened today 4 golden crates 3 of them had rus can't complain

[peak lion]

Hi one question, I was about to win a match and suddenly ran out of battery. Am I getting my rewards?

[night trellis]

Damn you

[vestal remnant]

That's the same crate twice 😅

You dont drive

[hidden tinsel]

I don't drive???

Huh

So the only thing I do Is control pit lane time

[scarlet gyro]

What u mean control the car?

[vestal remnant]

@steel trench CC points for coins done 🤣

[night trellis]

Thanks to this I don't 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[vestal thunder]

That one will just make u go contender again and give u a hard group 😆 dont get tempted

[hidden tinsel]

So basically for the game controls In races, Is it all tlit based or how are the controls structured. As you've said I don't drive and I am confused?

[night trellis]

Will give contender another chance this week, probably won't get p1 lol

Push, normal and conserve

[hidden tinsel]

Engine level

[scarlet gyro]

Power unit

[hidden tinsel]

^

[scarlet gyro]

MGU-K and MGU-H

[hidden tinsel]

Thank you that makes sense, so depending on my level of power unit is how fast I go. So I don't tilt my device at all

[scarlet gyro]

Yes

Pushing wears your tyres at a faster rate

[hidden tinsel]

Oh ok, what's DRS mode like?

[scarlet gyro]

You need a rear wing from series 4

[dusky orchid]

@steel trench is it i figured bots wld actually have some variations and limited decision making but I guess that wld be to complicated

[dusky orchid]

Devs for God's sake take the pit notification out or move it. I'm fed up with going to hit the drs at the exact right moment to pass and instead opening the pit menu because they align perfectly on most tracks. Annoying as heck

[lilac pike]

You can turn that off in settings - "Team Radio"

[spark frost]

Damn this is a good tip. Thanks!

Am i doing the right thing not equipping drs on series 6. I got 5 win streak while with drs i was losing 10 😭 but who knows i swapped two parts so might be just one of em thats making me win

[zinc sedge]

FERRARI

anyone can answer?

[vague apex]

how can that be?

[night trellis]

I remember it once said recommend TS is 1000

[simple wyvern]

Can anyone tell me why I don’t get the 1 gold coin bundles on offer every day? I’m from Australia and I have mates that play who get these offers daily

I have not heard back from support

[night trellis]

They lied to you, the 1 coin bundles for the community creates have stopped before we changed to the new season

[scarlet gyro]

It was a destock

[simple wyvern]

Huh? I mean they didn’t lie cause they literally got them yesterday and I’d seen proof - wdym destock

[night trellis]

They got the 1 coin surge offer and that's it, this one was given thanks to a poll on the game socials

[simple wyvern]

No, they get multiple -

[night trellis]

I have never seen those offers before.
Probably hutch give them to new players to motivate them

[simple wyvern]

Yeah it bums me out completely

[wooden musk]

When did your friends started playing this season?

[simple wyvern]

About a week or two ago

[night trellis]

why? The amount of coins is barely nothing and it's only a 1h coin surge you get from the objectives store 3x 3h coins surge
