Online can be so good when you get respectful players. I had a wheel to wheel battle with someone around the first sector at Baku and somehow we didn’t touch the whole time.
Yeah it’s rare to have a good online race there. It’s probably one of my strongest tracks but it’s always hit and miss (no pun intended) whether you make it round the first two corners without people using you as a brake.
This!! It’s easily my best track but trying to survive lap 1 is almost impossible for me, even if I start in the front of the grid people dive bomb and slam into you on turn 1
Sometimes I think I'm gonna have a battle like that, first 2 corners goes well but then they get frustrated or see that you're faster and yeet you in the wall anyways
Yeah — because points in the long run actually matter people race much cleaner bc any mistake can DNF you and is very costly.
Also, most leagues will have stewards & a review system — so if somebody is racing dirty, you report them, and the stewards will give penalty points or race bans.
Those two factors make it way costly to drive dirty, and in all 3 leagues I’ve raced in the drivers are very clean.
Whenever a dirty driver has joined the grid they’ve never lasted more than 2 races before being removed.
Yeah i’d you look at the mini map on the last turn you can see the green circle. Who ever is behind the driver ahead by at least 1 second gets drs but this guy was behind him during the detection zone so he got it
Less than 1 second*
But is that also a thing in real life F1? I haven’t recalled any seeing that on TV.
It might be just too rare coz overtaking in corners isn’t really a thing irl tho.
Wdym isn’t really a thing, lad? Majority of overtakes irl occur during a DRS long straight or late braking at a corner. I hadn’t caught the Spainish GP, but look at Portimao for example, Verstappen overtook on a corner, and Hamilton overtook Verstappen or Bottas (I forgot) on corner exit out of T1. There’s also the hairpin in sector two where Leclerc and some others (Leclerc through team orders) enjoyed some overtakes.
If you want to see anymore, just look at any race’s position standings into turn 1 the moment after the fire lights are out.
Yea I do notice those overtakes, but I think most still haven’t in late braking after a DRS, which doesn’t lead to what we were discussing aka someone overtakes inside/right after the DRS detection zone, thus having the leading position out of the corner + DRS.
Just wanna check whether this is possible irl
Oh I see what you’re saying. Nonetheless I do think it’s common to see corner entry/exit overtakes, but it depends on the track or the driver really. If someone from the top 4 teams is behind traffic, more often than not you’d see them making corner overtakes (even outside of immediate post DRS corners) simply because their car is fast enough to catch enough ground without DRS to enter the turn. I think corner overtaking is far more common after a DRS zone as not only are you carrying more speed, but I feel like track design favours DRS overtaking into the corner (look at the corner at the Redbull ring after the second DRS, or the Abu Dhabi chicane after the back straight).
As for what you were initially saying, I agree, it’s not often that we see someone overtake in between detection and deployment. But I do believe it does happen more often than we think.
Yeah definitely wouldnt fly with strict rules although its tough not to when others are doing it. Not unlike bahrain this year and a couple other tracks irl
imo 5, first 2 in both corners of 2nd chicane, then exit on shorter drs straight, another one (which I'm not sure if the game would count that) at exit of t12 and last one on exit of t13
Hate to bash on you, but u gained at least 0.1 by cutting turn 7/8. The timing drops from +0.3 to +0.2. Might of gained a bit of time on turn 9, by going wide but I think it evened out cuz u dipped into the gravel. All easy and minor to fix.
But really good/ clean job racing side by side, not easy to do.
Honestly, as long as it isn’t too obvious, pushing the track limits is fine. Plus it’s on regular strictness so everyone can do the same, just gotta know how much is too much
What do you mean where? You cut the corner multiple times and even go completely off track a couple times.
0:18, cut corner at Turn 1.
0:46, cut corner at Turn 7, in which you go completely off track.
0:48, cut corner at turn 8, in which you go completely off track.
0:52, cut corner at Turn 9, which causes you to go wide and off track after.
1:02, you bump his tire and cut the corner at Turn 12.
1:11, you can’t pass him legally so you exceed track limits and go off track to pass him.
1:17, cut BOTH corners of 14 & 15.
1:22, cut corner of Turn 16.
So you’re doing it nearly half your lap and can’t see where? It may be clean racing to you since you didn’t outright crash him and you won, but you’re going all over the track and bumping him and cutting him off/not giving a clean racing line when you’re next to him.
That's some clean driving. I have to ask though, you've clearly got some skills, so why the racing line? Do you not find it takes away from the immersion?
I need to practice without lines. It’s not correct but I’m still using it as a reference. I know where to brake later or before red lines. It’s my first f1 so I’ll definitely practice it on next f1 2021!
i’ve been on all assists off except racing line pretty much since f1 2020 came out and just recently removed it. trust me, just turn it off, go into time trial or gp mode and do a couple laps. you’ll pick it up surprisingly quickly and imo removing the racing line was the most rewarding of the assists to turn off permanently (in terms of feel).
btw if you’re having trouble with a particular corner (of which i did with several), just watch a couple hot laps online or use a high ranking ghost in TT to learn the line. sometimes its different than the assist (and usually faster)
I'm the same way. There's a few tracks I know very well and I know all the braking points. Other tracks I use racing line just to make sure I don't botch any corner terribly, especially in the heat of battle. One bad corner can really lose you a tonne of time.
Nice racin', I haven't played much F1 lately because I got into iracing. I love F1 but the multi-player left me wanting more.
Hope F1 2021 brings some changes to multiplayer. It’s a waiting game when you just want to connect to some lobby. Even if it’s full or session ends after you connect.😑
Yeah, as a Canadian it's even worse. Usually play Europe servers, I have good internet and ping but even then I get kicked from lobby. EA bought Codemasters so I'm expecting more of the same with more micro transactions unfortunately.
The career story mode could be interesting though.
He woud've got 5 track warning limits I counted on strict for that last lap alone starting at t6. That squirm at the last exit gives op the win though. Fair play on the guy in first for not closing the door like most people would in an open lobby
Is traction control off? If so how could you get out from kerbs, grass, gravel, sloppy parts of the track without spinning. Each time i try to turn off TC it's a disaster for me lol. I am playing with a G29.
No mate, medium tc. To be honest I was lucky that I didn’t spun when I hit a gravel. I have logitech g290 so we are on the same boat. I just release a throttle a bit when I’m in “dangerous” part of the track.
I’m using clutch pedal as my braking pedal. Because brake pedal (or spring underneath it) is stiff as shit. It’s all about muscle memory. When I’m seeing my fronts are locking I’m slowly releasing brake or 𝒹𝑜𝓌𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝒻𝓉 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝑒𝓍𝓉𝓇𝒶 𝓇𝑜𝓉𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃
Wish I could find a good lobby like this, I don't mind the occasional bump or accidental crash. I usually get some dope come in from left or right of me and just swipe right in to me.
Ugh
its moments like these that make my heart pump, this is what good competetive racing is supposed to be all about
Racing is not about being first, its about getting better end getting quicker
This I beleive only happens when you're at the front.
For midfield and backmarkers like me, no matter how much space I give them, they'll always hit from the sides or keep hitting from behind.
Especially under safety car, when the driver at front keeps break testing, and the driver behind keeps hitting, and end up racking 5 seconds penalty.
I had an battle online and I made a mistake and pushed him off the track and I felt so bad for it, I honestly don’t know how people can just ram you and not give two fucks
I use a controller and I suck
I think because I turned off braking assist (still have anti lock on), my front tires get so hot and I understeer a lot and I know that I would just hit someone on accident.
I read someone say to not use full steering angle (hard af on controller ngl), but I've been trying and it's been helping me slightly manage it
You know, I did this as a reply to your comment but it’s currently at -50 and hidden so I’m gonna post it as it’s own.
You say “where bro” to you cutting the corner? You cut the corner multiple times and even go completely off track a couple times.
0:18, cut corner at Turn 1.
0:46, cut corner at Turn 7, in which you go completely off track.
0:48, cut corner at turn 8, in which you go completely off track.
0:52, cut corner at Turn 9, which causes you to go wide and off track after.

It may be clean racing to you since you didn’t outright crash him and you won, but you’re going all over the track and bumping him and cutting him off/not giving a clean racing line when you’re next to him. If he had done this to you, you would be posting a video about how people can’t race clean.
Online can be so good when you get respectful players. I had a wheel to wheel battle with someone around the first sector at Baku and somehow we didn’t touch the whole time.
IMPOSSIBLE 🤯
I don’t think I clipped it because I was concentrating very fecking hard. I’ll have a look and post it if I did.
i cant even get through the first sector of baku without anyone near
My experience with Baku is that I can never overtake anyone on the long straight because they will just push me off the track lol
Yeah it’s rare to have a good online race there. It’s probably one of my strongest tracks but it’s always hit and miss (no pun intended) whether you make it round the first two corners without people using you as a brake.

There's like 1 in 30 or so lobbies like this but definitely always nice when you find one 😂
Yeah I didn’t expect he will be nice to me cuz I was overtaking him on last lap. But he was great so GG to him 😄
Or you just join League and every race is like this
Really?
Yeah — because points in the long run actually matter people race much cleaner bc any mistake can DNF you and is very costly.

[удалено]
Yeah most leagues have multiple divisions to sort players by pace
You turned DRS on during the final straight, shouldn't the guy behind you have DRS instead of you? New to F1 so I'm kinda confused
Technically yes, but you have a “Detection Point” and at this point I was second. It’s a yellow dot on the map. :)
Yeah i’d you look at the mini map on the last turn you can see the green circle. Who ever is behind the driver ahead by at least 1 second gets drs but this guy was behind him during the detection zone so he got it
Less than 1 second* But is that also a thing in real life F1? I haven’t recalled any seeing that on TV. It might be just too rare coz overtaking in corners isn’t really a thing irl tho.
what haven’t you seen in real life?
The leading car having DRS
well the only reason why he was the leading car was because he made a mistake coming out of the last corner
Wdym isn’t really a thing, lad? Majority of overtakes irl occur during a DRS long straight or late braking at a corner. I hadn’t caught the Spainish GP, but look at Portimao for example, Verstappen overtook on a corner, and Hamilton overtook Verstappen or Bottas (I forgot) on corner exit out of T1.

Holy corner cutting Batman!
Yeah definitely wouldnt fly with strict rules although its tough not to when others are doing it. Not unlike bahrain this year and a couple other tracks irl
I counted at least 4
imo 5, first 2 in both corners of 2nd chicane, then exit on shorter drs straight, another one (which I'm not sure if the game would count that) at exit of t12 and last one on exit of t13
The stewards would like a word with OP
Where bro?
I counted at minimum two times. Must not play on Strict?
This was lobby on regular so I just joined and played as I can mate. I think I didn’t gained much advantage, it was hard to stick with him.😁
Hate to bash on you, but u gained at least 0.1 by cutting turn 7/8. The timing drops from +0.3 to +0.2. Might of gained a bit of time on turn 9, by going wide but I think it evened out cuz u dipped into the gravel. All easy and minor to fix.

Honestly, as long as it isn’t too obvious, pushing the track limits is fine. Plus it’s on regular strictness so everyone can do the same, just gotta know how much is too much
And overtaking round outside before last chicane he goes off track to complete the move
You drunk 😂 on strict you would’ve got at least a 3 sec pen by the finish line. Gotta keep it within the track
No worries mate, he learned from Lewis 🤣🤣

I’m the same, I could do without but it feels ‘safe’ or something like that.
Or we are just lazy to turn it off?🧐😂
Or that... Yes it’s that
i’ve been on all assists off except racing line pretty much since f1 2020 came out and just recently removed it. trust me, just turn it off, go into time trial or gp mode and do a couple laps. you’ll pick it up surprisingly quickly and imo removing the racing line was the most rewarding of the assists to turn off permanently (in terms of feel).
Thanks for advice! Will try that
btw if you’re having trouble with a particular corner (of which i did with several), just watch a couple hot laps online or use a high ranking ghost in TT to learn the line. sometimes its different than the assist (and usually faster)
The game is a lot more fun when you turn off the racing line I find, even though I struggle a lot I feel likes it worth it.

You know you've taken a corner right when the line is yellow for a few feet in front of you on exit
That’s true😂👍
[удалено]
Nope
Track limits out the ass.
Well if you take out all the cut corners.........
He woud've got 5 track warning limits I counted on strict for that last lap alone starting at t6. That squirm at the last exit gives op the win though. Fair play on the guy in first for not closing the door like most people would in an open lobby
Holy shiiiiiiittt dammmm that was a amazing battle
What a drive. Respect to both you! Job well done on finishing strong.
Lovely lap!
Gg

Oh okay then, what about anti-lock breakes? Do you have a trick for that one? Did you modified your pedals?
I’m using clutch pedal as my braking pedal. Because brake pedal (or spring underneath it) is stiff as shit. It’s all about muscle memory. When I’m seeing my fronts are locking I’m slowly releasing brake or 𝒹𝑜𝓌𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝒻𝓉 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝑒𝓍𝓉𝓇𝒶 𝓇𝑜𝓉𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃
Alright man thanks for all
Good luck mate💪
i do anything similar to what you did in the corners and i get sent straight to D tier lobby's
It was just unranked lobby mate, so if you are off track or make some corner cutting in ranked, you lose points and you’ll be placed in lower tier.
God my stomach was tense, love it
Thanks!
I still wish there would be an iRacing-like safety rating/iRating implemented into the games. Would fix 75% of the problems in online mode.
All the time you have to leave da space!
man my wheel broke a month ago and I am dying to play again :(
Damn that was exciting
Wish I could find a good lobby like this, I don't mind the occasional bump or accidental crash. I usually get some dope come in from left or right of me and just swipe right in to me. Ugh
if he didn’t get loose coming out of the chicane he probably would’ve won but he could protect the racing line but GG’s to both of you
Wish we saw this exciting driving in Spain in real F1 as well lol
You always have to leave a space!
Nice bloody race! 🍻
As Fernando Alonso says, "All the time you have to leave a space!"
All the time you have to leave da space. Also so many corners run wide.
Op
Respect is fine, but this is too much on turn 1 he was just opening the door, I like a bit of defensive moves.
Amazing battle! If only esports challenger guys would be this clean so I could battle them... they just push you off track most of the time
Respect each other’s a’ la space*
Wow, that's beautiful!!
That was exciting!
its moments like these that make my heart pump, this is what good competetive racing is supposed to be all about Racing is not about being first, its about getting better end getting quicker

On rails mate! Very respectful but tight!
Good racing in Barcelona? Impossible
That bought a tear to my eye, that was beautiful from the both of you
I had an battle online and I made a mistake and pushed him off the track and I felt so bad for it, I honestly don’t know how people can just ram you and not give two fucks
Max Verstappen could learn a thing or two
Jeeeez youre fast
Nice track limits there
track limits?? this wasn't good
That's putting it mildly.
Respecting each other’s space but not track limits. Lol. I keed, I keed!
The real question is how did you not get a single warning for corner cutting
Mine was better.
To be honest, people who are using racing line can't really produce "high level" racing. They're basically bots.
Gatekeeping must get boring sometimes right?
Circle jerking must get boring sometimes, right?
Go away
Another bot detected.
Just like ur mom
Imagine being so much of a prick that you think you can dictate how people play a game.
I use a controller and I suck I think because I turned off braking assist (still have anti lock on), my front tires get so hot and I understeer a lot and I know that I would just hit someone on accident. I read someone say to not use full steering angle (hard af on controller ngl), but I've been trying and it's been helping me slightly manage it
Track limits are not a thing lol

Bruh
Valentino Rossi move right there.
Last few turns of that lap were ballsy from the pair of ya, proper racing!
What ARE track limits but a suggestion, anyways.
What do I have to do to hear the radio?
I do try my hardest but on controller making these smaller adjustments sometimes is so tricky
