Think main problem is most of the dev team for this game are now concentrating on next years game and updates for this current version are been given lip service at best.

I have had 5 safety cars in a recent race (100% race distance my driver career) including safety car going in after vettel pulled over and max pulling over at first corner after restart also due to mechanical failure bringing out safety car again( car was safe place in my opinion).

Good points but with new consoles out I can see them concentrating on upping the graphics and maybe a few new features to my driver and that’s it as they focus on the new consoles.

Sadly this has been going on years and doubt codemasters will ever fix it from lack of care or responses they shown up to now so sadly I can believe how bad it still is and why I never play online part even though I like too( also the rampant cheating of players crashing into anyone daring to overtake them and the overtaking player getting penalty for doing nothing wrong frustrates me).

true but it’s never right, if it says that rain is due in last quarter of race I always get rain in first 3rd of race, it always arrives early without exception and never later than forecast so not like IRL at all and was same in f1 2019.

Agree totally Bly way I ever seen to get a drive through penalty Is to jump start the race. Also if you change a lot of parts between qualifying and race surely that should be a pit lane start too, in my game it’s either demoted places or most of time the parts are not replaced at all.

Considering some problems go back to 2018 edition or before cause codemasters just keep rehashing previous game code means we be lucky to ever see a lot of bugs fixed, codemasters always looking to next version of game over fixing current one. Basically profit before pleasing customers sadly.

Agree about how they fix safety car as many people never see it but I keep getting safety car randomly when no incident on track at all, seems safety car driver is just bored and wants to lead the race for couple of laps.

Impossible to get ers low throughout the race after season 2 but what really annoys me is if you used all the ers for the lap well before lap ends, your engineer will still tell you to use more ers lol. About time Jeff and his instructions were overhauled.

Agree totally and not only that but in some races I had all 4 tires of track and got no warnings or anything then couple laps later I got 1 tire on kerb and 3 on the track and got a warning lol. One of main areas I had this problem with is the last 2 corners at Canada.

For me, every time if I look at pre race forecast and then go to race it rains about 30 minutes before pre race forecast says and it happens every time and had this in 2019 version too, gets tired very quickly as it happens way to regularly.

Had the same as well from Jeff, also had him tell me yesterday that no problems with my tires but my back left was at 82% wear and I was sliding all over the place with it...

£10 for that dlc isn’t bad at all when you look at what micro transactions are in mobile games and codemasters will have invested a fair bit of time and money making the dlc so they have to recover that and make a profit at end of day.

Safety car behaves semi normally for me, in first season bottas decided to take out the pit wall in Italy and totally destroyed front of his car leaving it stranded in middle of the pit straight yet no safety car lol. I also have a problem if I save a race mid race then come back later, soon as I load up the save safety car comes out soon as save has loaded up. This happens 9 times out of 10 for me.

Not only that but some companies have promised that xbox1 games will have graphics upgraded to new console free of charge for people who own xbox1 version at some point so let’s hope codemasters do it.

Codemasters said shortly after game was released that they would spend time first fixing bugs etc then go onto other things so figure that’s why colour scheme of mcclaren is not fixed yet.

Russell fairly good too especially if you invest in him too as I got him at start of season 2 and second driver in season 1 didn’t finish above 16th at all and by half way through second season Russell had 16 points and car had not improved greatly compared to top cars.

Not sure either if marbles still effect racing but got to agree the switch manoeuvre at that place is excellent place to do it but I have a tendency to disappear of track trying it lol.

Agree management option could be greatly increased but credit to codemasters as think this first try by them was excellent but many in game things needed as well( flag options are very limited compared to real life and same with penalties, only time you get drive through penalty is for jump starting but used more in real life).

It seems to go on your table standings but also the results just before you get the rival offers from Claire as in my first season I was in top 10 for finishes in the 3 races before Claire gave me the choices so I had vettel, Hamilton etc but in second season I had couple of bad races( I seemed to want to wreck my car on bottas every race at that point for some reason) and so got offered 3 near the bottom of the standings and for some reason Hamilton at top lol.

The last update changed driver ratings so guess it will alter how they are on track too but remember to take into account driver Difficulty lvl you set too.

I seen one person post that in season 5 had areas in all for sections of upgrades affected and needed huge amount of points to stop having car greatly downgraded in season 6.

Think it was fixed this week.

I have NEVER witness a first corner accident / yellow flag / safety car ecc, and I’ve been playing A LOT. Very disappointing. I don’t want a carnage, just a minimum of unpredictability, the game now seems scripted, I know AI will never DNF in the first lap of the race. on this, my first season on my team at silverstone, Norris at start mistimed his breaking into first corner and ran into back of vettel and Norris ended up out of race without even getting round first corner. - Safety Car bugs, in 2020 there’s the same bug of the previous years, it is not coming out. Some virtual SF every now and then. the above incident with Norris brought out safety car and in my first season I saw safety car way over a dozen times. Admittedly about half of them was because of me but plenty that did not have anything to do with me at all.

The new strategy issue has been recognised as a issue by codemasters so hopefully be fixed soon not sure about safety car but I know some people never see it and others like me see it a lot ( lando’s driving seems to be so different in game to real life lol).
