This is also the reason your car is so prone to catch the death banks on the side of the road in NZ. If you're on a straight and close to the bank you naturally steer towards the middle of the road to avoid it, but you will end up catching the bank with your rear. As soon as you steer away from it the rear will actually move towards it.

IF memory serves me right, the Solbergs commented on this, this is why they were not playing in 1st person view. They had no feeling of the rear end position of the car. Something like that.. This year has been a big blur to me

that is the biggest joke even in this story, a "pro" should use the Cockpit Cam, the only thing which can be adjusted are the FOV settings, but not the TV pod cam. I grew up with F1 games where there was no TV pod cam (in Grand Prix 2 e.g.) so I was used to the cockpit cam from the beginning. But I get your point mate, sure you are quicker with TV cam, as you can see corners better as well. I think in USA e.g. I would make 1 sec min better than in cockpit view. But hey it is everyones decisions right? 🙂

We're not saying the physics aren't working right, we're saying the steering effect of the car model is on a center pivot - it helps with the feeling of being able to "rotate" the car on slippery surfaces, it's one of the reasons why gravel feels so good, but on tarmac, not so much as the rear shouldn't move as early as it does when it's pivoting on the center point. It's not being done incorrectly, ie. it's not physics set for a non center pivot model, and then them having a center pivot model act upon that. It's a center pivot model with the physics set to correctly act upon *that* - with it's obvious draw backs re the tarmac.

The weather report is not meant to be 100% right just like IRL.

And I want to share my experience and the stuff I found out. I actually raced up until midways throught the 8th season, at that point I was spending more time trying to figure out the AI more than racing and said "screw it" and simulated the 2nd half of the 8th season and all the 9th and 10th (more on that later). Team story: Started the first season running 50% races and 98 AI, finished the 1st season 9th in WCC, 4th the 2nd season, won my first WDC and WCC the 3rd season but my car was ranked 3rd in overall performance. Maxed the car and facilities in season 4 and from there on I won 5 other WDC straight and 7 more WCC (ignore the "laps driven" and "kilometers" since the game doesn't count simulated laps as "driven") Team mate was Lando, who won the last 2 WDC. Some funny stuff, Kimi retired at my 3rd season, Grosjean, Seb and Lewis never did, so they were racing at 45 and 43 and Seb still in Ferrari. Max retired in the 7th season, Stroll in the 6th (guess daddy ran out of cash), the last 2 seasons the top 4 guys battling where Lando (my Team), Leclerc (Ferrari and then McLaren), George (Ferrari) and Gasly (Mercedes). So lets start going step by step. Resources: As you can see on the screenshot I ended up with over 1B cash, and over 200k resource points. From season 6th and onwards every "rule change from next season" was useless other than an engine rule change. Both you and the AI have so many resources that can adapt every part and completely negate the change. I've had full rules change in the 4 departments, announced as late as Brazil GP, and not make a dent in any team performances for the next season. The only exception is the engine packs that are delivered by the developer, which seems to be random on how many packs will be reset and next season upgrades delivery times. This does affect the AI more than you since you can simply change to the new best engine in the off season and have a couple of races ahead while the other engines develop. Maybe for future games the solution could be resource points expiring over a while to avoid this, and having to re adapt facilities for the new rules to spend some cash, or other expenses like ordering extra gearboxes or engine parts actually costing money, or getting cash fines for penalties, etc. By the way the Porsche livery is from Racing_Legend_420 excellent mod: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/porsche-99x-hybrid-full-team-package.34503/ R&D: Aero: your team has the best aero possible. The 2nd best seems to be RB and McLaren. Chassis & Durability: all teams have the same level. Engine: Other than the staring point at a new game or after a rule change all engines are equal once they are maxed out (100 performance / 100 reliability), so it's just a choice of what sound you like more. Engine is the only random spec you get in R&D since you don't know when upgrades will come. You might have changed to a Ferrari PU after a rule chnage because they had a 90/95 rate, but only to find out their upgrades wont come until next season meanwhile maybe a 80/90 Honda engine has 4 upgrades dropping in 3 months and ends up as the best engine for that season. Ai: Oh boy here comes the pain... AI seems to be extremelly impacted by upgrades and drivers pace/racecraft upgrades. I played the first 4 seasons at 98 AI, that was enought to be 9th the 1st season and win titles the 3rd and 4th season. In season 5 Lando hits the 100/100 racecraft/pace with the same car, and I start to notice he's getting 0.500-0.600s better times in qualys, I can still beat him in race because the AI stupid things like doing 2 stops when 1 will do, or me starting on mediums and he on softs. By season 6th the qualy gap can go up to 1sec in some tracks, also as the other teams also start to max out other AI start to beat me in qualys, I had to lower the AI to 94 to qualy among the top 5. By season 7th I'm barely making it to Q3 with the best car, I end up cheesing my way to qualys like blocking other cars in Q2 or lowering the AI below 90 or even 85 in some tracks. Again, you can still beat most of them in race pace because of the stupid thing the AI does but by the time you are 2nd your teammate is 25secs ahead of you. I've started to notice some wierd things, like in Monza, having the best car, the best engine and the AI goes by you in a straight like if you were using a Monaco set up. By season 8th I had enough of that, when I secured the title I simed the rest of that season 9th and 10th befor Abu will I will race next. Btw you can also check on season 10 results that "your driver" AI when simulating is around average, it never beats your teammate and has a lot of ups and downs depending the track, race 1 to 8 I had the best engine after a rule change so my car was sllightly better, once other teams catched up, I started to drop in the simulation. So in the end. TL; DR: was it worth it?...yeah to see how the game behaves, but I don't think I'll do it again. Most likely for a new Career (when the performance patch hits maybe?) I'll paly until season 5 or 6th and start over.

Wouldnt it be cool if we had an option to be a works team or buy an engine from (Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault or Honda) in the MyTeam career. If we chose to have our own engine 1.other teams could buy our engine 2.It would be pretty bad in the start but we could make it a beast of an engine like the engine from the 2019 Ferrari. This could be implemented well as a new and exciting feature for myteam @BarryBL

I have some ideas of real dashboards for each car and I wanted to know which more is realistic. I remade them using SIM Dashboard and the results were very good. Please note that the Ferrari dashboards are not remade by me, and I didn't even made them for SIM Dashboard. The Ferrari dashboards were remade by Esportsim. Also remember that I'm yet to remake Mclaren, Haas and Williams' dashboards. But by the way, how does it look like at the moment?

I do not have the PS5 yet but sure thing mate, make sure you take your savegames from the 4 to the 5, then all is good, no worries. As written before, you can read everything in the internet and on youtube you find several videos already how to transfer your ps4 to the 5...so calm down and relax

Hi, Het valt me op dat ik geen Nederlandse competitie kan vinden die wordt gespeeld op de xbox. Ik neem aan dat er genoeg mensen zijn die in een f1 2020 league willen rijden met Nederlanders of mensen uit de Benelux. Heb of ken jij een Nederlandse/Benelux league op de xbox? Laat het me weten !

DR isn't a yearly title though. It's bi-annual. If you don't ever change or update anything then people lose interest.

I do not use any TV pod or HUD,just what I have on my dashboard.

With a pad i would seitch between cockpit and centralised tv pod but now I have a wheel its cockpit and realistic FOV all the way. Bought a 34 inch 3440 x 2560 ultrawide to recover abit of the lost FOV you get as it looks mega close to begin with. But going back to default is aweful now.

I joined this forum to post this. I also own a fanatec csw 2.5 thats useless with the game. its an absolute joke there is no support for this. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.

The difficulty will increase season by season because the other teams starts to improving aswell their cars.. i am currently in my 6th season and I am enjoying so much.. I am equally as a Mercedes in Performance stats and in Pace comparison in all the weekends and I had been in good fights for wins.. the Alpha Tauri and Redbull Racing are near to us so it's a extremely competitive season this specific for me.. speaking about the race starts fortunately I haven't any problems with that.. i can start 1st and hold my position or I can start in 2nd place and I can fight for the lead

I finished the race and everything is fine, went into invitational challenge, finished it and have no issues also so I think that this time issue could be on my side. If something change tomorrow after USA Grand Prix I will report here if not I apologize for being harsh.

As you can see from the image, during a race you can see the delta from your best lap on the wheel. I think could be a good addition the possibility to have an option to activate the delta on the HUD for the race, exactly like we have in quali. @BarryBL

Cockpit with Halo on only

half half first half of the season i drive from cockpit and the second one TV Pod

Basically what the title says. I do a lot of tuning by running free practice sessions and the message that says 'you can tell me what you want over the radio' gets on my nerves. Also the message explaining tyre temperatures every time I go out. So it would be great if we could have somewhere to check/uncheck the messages we actually want to hear.

Hello Barry, The issue has been resolved bu itself apparently as all the dlc packs are back. Hope it doesn’t happen again. thank you

Its exactly like this: 11 Spots, all for different sponsors and all colorable. but it's the spots we had before, like frontwing, airbox, rearwing...

OK what just happened. A Patch that includes new features, actually fixes stuff INCLUDING a lot of fixes for the Multiplayer. What the frig just happened hello is this real.

Hi @Darmorque, I've moved this to Suggestions and will add for the developers to discuss. Thanks for the feedback. 👍

Update: added Scotland. Confusingly, it actually is in Perth & Kinross, just as the game says. This is unheard of in DR2. The location is SS3 in the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally 2010. It doesn't use the exact same stages but it's close. This location has also been used in the Rally of Scotland, but the McRae rally stage is a closer match for the DR2 stages.
