1. A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. Playing My Team mode on 105 difficulty and with the exception a couple tracks, especially Monaco which has totally opposite problem to insane degree, I'm finding it extremely difficult to match my teammate in qualifying but then romping away as far as podiums in the race. Can't even pass qualifying program even though I set the fastest lap time of the entire session! 2. What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.02 3. Game-mode? MY TEAM 4. What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. Baku is 1 of the best tracks to replicate the issue as I couldn't pass the quali program, even with a TT setup, then qualified just behind teammate with a similar time, and then in the race using same setup I drove to P3 with no safety cars, just on pure speed vs AI. Happens an most tracks to some extent. 105 difficulty, no assists, setup only slightly tweaked from 1 of the default options. Off the top of my head I think it was wings 3-5, differential default, geometry default, suspension 3-3 5-5 3-4, brakes 100% 54, Tyre pressures all middle except front right 1 click lower. Nothing extreme. Monaco also great example of similar issue. Failed quali program despite going 3rd fastest. Same failed laptime put me 5th for the race in 2nd to slowest car on the grid, and then in the race was over a second a lap faster than teammmate. What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue Tried using strict corner cutting rules to stop myself unfairly gaining advantage over the AI in the race. Tried running a default setup, but that made it worse. Qualifying then was last place and still easily top 10 in the race on pure laptime. Last resort seems to be to dial difficulty down for practice just to pass the Quali program (probably while setting fastest lap of anyone!) Then dialling it back up for Quali and then dialling it WAAYYY up for the race. What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) Standard xbox one controller 7. Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears. Picture of finishing results after 100% Baku race attached. All dry weather, same pitstops as AI, no safety cars. Same setup and driving style as in qualifying where I barely matched my teammate near the back and failed quali program by some margin. For video just watch any of the F1 youtubers doing their My Team career series. Almost all having same problem. Thanks

This has been well documented and codies have said they are fixing it. The grid is showing the fastest times the drivers did over the entire of Saturday. Dont worry, the grid order is still correct.

hhmmmm. If thats the engine performance chart literally as it is when you very first start the My Team mode then that is a bit odd. You would think that if you didn't answer any interview questions to give your engine R&D some already installed upgrades, that the engine would be a stock Ferrari unit like all the others. Maybe they are trying to say that if you answered all the questions to boost your engine department, it would be on par with the others? I think personally all the engines should be slightly apart on the chart at race 1, so Ferrari units all occupying the top but not all equal. Because from pre season testing to race 1, teams would have theoretically had time to get some upgrades on the unit. Hell even in the game we know that you can chuck on a load of R&D things after the last race with any points you have left and they will be done by race 1 the following season. So why couldn't Haas, Ferrari and Alfa have done some upgrades from 2019? The game even let's YOU get some upgrades on before race 1 by giving certain answers in interviews.

Exactly why I drive in cockpit cam only. Don't get any fulfillment from having worked hard to get to the point where I can drive with all the assists off like real F1, but then can switch to magic view and gain laptime.... what's the point? Might as well turn all the assists back on lol On the subject of ABS. In this game I already find the braking WAY TO EASY with ABS off. Unless you do something really stupid you basically can't lock up. You can run 100% brake pressure, which is the default value now for gods sake!, and 50 brake balance with ZERO rear locking. I'm not totally against the changes as it helps those of us who couldn't or wouldn't exploit the old braking system, by running it unrealistically rearward or with ridiculous pressure settings, to stay competitive. Personally I'm for as much realism as possible. So ABS SHOULD make you faster by a small degree. But I also have pushed for years now for a realistic brake setup where running the brake bias more forward decreases braking distances with the increased risk of front lockups. There's a reason the real drivers can be seen moving the bias forward when coming up to a big high-speed braking point. Ironically on f1 2019 this was actually the case on many tracks, I tested it thoroughly. However the overall gain by going crazily rearward was often far more powerful for all the other braking zones, bar the 1 or maybe 2 BIG stops on the track.

There is a bug with 1st gear, several reports about it on here buried in the hundred plus threads. I'd be willing to guess if you don't turn any of the engine or ERS settings up from what the game puts them on as standard for race starts you will still find the same or at least similar issue. It also happens at monaco at the hotel hairpin. When you slow down in 1st gear to very slow speed and the revs drop below a certain point they will suddenly plummet. If you then try and put just a little bit of throttle input in they will do nothing for a few moments and then suddenly shoot up like crazy as you have been experiencing. Some of us think it's a turbo bug. Massive turbo lag basically causing throttle input issues when going extremely slow or stationary in 1st gear.

Weirdly on xbox 1.02 I have opposite problem. With parc ferme enabled it not only restricts all the normal stuff once qualifying has begun, but it also locks the tyre pressures in as well. Now unless there was a very quiet rule change that I missed, I was sure that tyre pressures were adjustable at all times under parc ferme just like front wings and differentials?

Literally every real race at hungary since Pirelli came in lol. In previous games setup and driving style only made a minor difference to how much they overheated. You had to go waaaay to slow to keep the front left in check round Hungary. On F1 2020 if you adjust setup appropriately, lower the pressure on the correct individual tyre (front left at hungary) and just back off a little bit at the worst long right handers, it actually stays very much under control. I even tested it myself and posted a vid of how I was driving and the tyre never even went anything but green on the mfd.

Yes this happens at every race. Entire quali system is bugged, including the quali practice programme at certain tracks!

1. A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. The Qualifying practice programme on My Team mode is broken at multiple tracks. I have the 9th fastest car on the grid, AT BEST, yet the game wants me to LITERALLY set the fastest time of ANYBODY to just get the green pass score for the practice programme, not even purple pass time! On 105 difficulty, 100% session lengths & full simulation mode assists. Then come the race, on the same settings, I'll be suddenly flying past other cars!! 2. What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.02 Xbox 3. Game-mode? My Team season 1 4. What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. Has happened at multiple tracks over the season. Most notably at Baku and now at Canada, as shown in attached image. To replicate, simply load up 1 of many tracks, Canada in this instance, in my team mode with all assists off, 100% distance and set appropriate difficulty setting so you can just pass the qualifying sim programme with appropriate effort and compare your times to the rest of the field in much faster cars. 5. What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue Game restart, simulate rest of session, let the session run in real time, different setups etc makes absolutely no difference. 6. What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) Xbox controller 7. Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears. So after many attempts, and dropping the difficulty down to 104, i managed to just pass the quali sim programme with less than 3 tenths to spare for green pass mark. As you can see, that very lap time was faster than all the top teams drivers managed on the same soft tyres!!!!! In a car that is fighting Williams performance wise, I should not be topping sessions while only BARELY hitting the teams minimum requirements.

Ok and again I'd like to see an example of this happening that ISN'T caused by shoddy driving. I don't see why you uploaded a vid to supppsedly demonstrate your problem of tyres overheating in a situation that you believe they shouldn't that only demonstrates the tyres overheating in a situation where they ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE? It's a bit like me reporting a problem with my cars brakes saying that when I brake normally/gently they go full on and then when I demonstrate the issue to the mechanic I drive forward and then stamp full force on the pedal and go "see what they did". It's a Sim/arcade game that's trying to be a better sim when you set everything to SIM. If you want it to be more like an arcade game like the previous versions then turn the sim settings down..... don't complain that there's something wrong with a game thats simulating the real world too well when you ask it to lol

"gave a link where a YouTuber, who mainly plays F1 games, denotes the same issue and you can see his driving style on a wheel." Mate I just finally found the bit of this vid where he says about the tyres and he literally says exactly what I just did lol. He said "in this game you need to lower the tyre pressures", "the tyre pressures have more of an effect in this game" and "in hindsight I should have lowered them more". His front left goes yellow through the massive high speed double right handers, where EVERY F1 DRIVER is told to look after the front left!, at full speed and nearly full lock lap after lap, in a back marker car, and that's your idea of a problem with the game? It's doing exactly what it's supposed to!!! Full speed, lots of lock lap after lap through 1 of the most tyre killing sections of race track on the F1 calender, on full simulation settings, with a setup he admits wasn't quite optimal, and they go yellow..... and that's wrong? Ok

If your driving in the clip is shoddy and that's what is causing the issue why upload it as evidence of the issue. Please upload a clip of you driving in the more smooth and refined way that you described with the setup I suggested, as you asked for, and show what happens please. On the older games I drive the same as I did in my clip which even you admitted was "clearly better" and in races I always had my front left going orange if I pushed too hard for too long. In this game the extremes are better modelled, in both directions. So if you REALLY scrub the tyre it REALLY heats up, but if you look after it better it actually DOESN'T heat up or wear as bad as previous games. The amount of esports f1 players I've already seen talking about f1 2020 and the fact that "tyre wear isn't anywhere near as scripted as 2019" or words to that effect is quite staggering. This game does a better job of simulating real F1 than previous games if you set it to SIMULATION mode. If you drive even slightly hard round Hungary in reality the front left burns, we've seen and heard that from real F1 for years now. If you don't want it to simulate realistically what your doing then turn the sim settings down or off. The fact the previous games did a WORSE job of simulating tyre temps is not a negative on this game, it's a positive of this game and a negative of the old games. Again, please just show us a real representation of the issue your having so we can make accurate and fair judgement on it. An over dramatisation doesn't help. Ty

yes I have same issue. It feels like enormous turbo lag. Seems to be a 1st gear issue as also happens at monaco at the hotel hairpin. You go down to a certain rpm in 1st gear and then it suddenly bogs down massively and when you try to accelerate it does nothing for a couple seconds and then suddenly the revs shoot up uncontrollably. For starts I have to now barely touch the trigger and just wait until the revs catch up with the input and then try and let some trigger input out to hold them there. Which is damn near impossible.

This ^ And I'm glad someone else finally mentioned the run off areas having too much grip. I refuse to drive my car all but 1 mm over the OTHER SIDE of a track limit kerb out onto run off areas and be able to just brake and turn in to the corner like its normal track. There is a reason the real drivers don't do this, it's called a fear of crashing lol. They don't even brake or accelerate on the normal kerbs unless they absolutely have to lol.

"when the engeneer ask me if I want to change my strategy I have to choose between "keep the same strat" or "do nothing". There's no new strat possible". I've also had this happen. I've also had the engineer telling me to come in just a short way into a stint on barely used tyres for no apparent reason. He says "we're changing the strategy, box this lap" but I don't get any option to say no and it doesn't even show what the new strategy is? Can we also PLEASE finally have the ability to adjust strategy during the race? Just add 1 extra menu slot to the car adjustments mfd page to adjust the lap number of next stop? It's not that hard. MFD front wing adjust, tyre compound choice, pit stop lap. DONE

I agree it's annoying when you get penalised for using a part of the track the real drivers use without issue. But lets be fair here, the rules say the white line is the track limit and the line is in the correct place relative to the real tracks. Now having said that, if there are notable bits of tracks that in real life the stewards make a very clear exception to the normal rule of the white line for, then yes it would be nice if Codies could make those adjustments to match reality. But to be fair they can't really do that until AFTER the real race when they then know what needs to be changed. And is that a priority right now when we have game breaking issues to deal with? The rule is the same for everyone on the track and the rule is true to the real F1 rules so not really a big issue if you ask me. Not yet anyway.

Good to know about this issue, will be watchful for it myself. I also have issues with ERS and safety cars. I want to be able to, as Ferrari's race engineer always says on the radio, put "recharge on, recharge on". If I'm crawling around behind the safety car why can't we switch the ERS down to setting 0 to recharge the battery? Seems like a simple error to fix. 🙂

Your absolutely right about the issue with simulated quali times in previous games. Thats y for the last 3 games U always run the entire sessions and always drive in and out of the garage lol. In quali I even watched my teammates lap on board from the tv monitor in the garage. Which ironically actually tends to slow the AI down lol.

When I drive Hungary on any of the previous games my front left overheats if I push round every long right hander on full lock at max speed, that's realistic. "no apparent reason for the overheating of the frontleft trye on clockwise tracks." The fact it's a clockwise track is literally the answer to that question? The entire 1st half of your response was you explaining why you basically drove in such a way as would Purposefully cause the front left to overheat. Again, if you drive in a way that should make that happen and you have the game set to SIMULATE reality then what you think is gonna happen? Until you can use a controller that doesn't have "either gas on or off" or doesn't have broken control sticks, and you learn to "roll with the triggers" don't get angry at the game for doing what its designed to do. So I literally just booted up a 5 lap race at Hungary with all assists off, standard XBOX CONTROLLER, full simulation settings in cockpit cam, red bull, default max downforce setup option with ZERO changes and ran the race. I can't capture gameplay so had to use a replay and record as much as file size limit would allow to post to the forum using my phone camera. My front left tyre temp went up to a max of 99 during the entire first 4 laps and then on the 5th and final lap I pushed for fastest lap and it just nudged 100 coming out of the final corner. What's wrong with that? 20200712_174202_1.mp4

i think it's fairly safe to say this is an update 1.03 issue as everyone who's uploaded vids of early release versions of the game, on any race distance setting, are not having this issue and myself and all my friends playing on xbox which is still on version 1.02 have no issues at all. In fact I have the opposite problem whereby I'm doing my team mode with honda engine & 100% distance on everything and my first gearbox, with no developments, is only wearing 10% a weekend!

Mate Im sorry but your driving like someone purposefully trying to overheat your tyres! Steering looks like a keyboard. You went into every corner too fast and totally off line, slid wide and then round the entire corner on full lock trying to get back to the inside, while also on the gas! You need to turn off the simulation settings if you dont want the game to simulate what your driving would actually be doing to your car in reality if you drove like that. Not that it would help much with current driving style but have you tried using the high downforce default setup at Hungary given it's literally described as a max downforce track? The default setup for max downforce puts the tyre pressures down almost to the very lowest settings which is what you do in real life at high downforce tracks.

I've been an avid player of the codemasters F1 games for years and I'm now at a level where I can race the Legend AI with everything turned off in cockpit. However when I recently decided to do a full career instead of just using GP mode it became obvious that the AI are as fast in career as they are in GP mode BUT my car is way slower. Perfect example is my career race at Bahrain. I'm in the lotus having gold star'ed the driver test and using my own setup which is much faster than the default fastest setup I'm struggling to lap within half a second of my teammate and the faster cars are lapping over a second a lap faster. Yet using the same car in GP mode on the same difficulty and same setup I am on pole by a second and can drive off from the AI by a second a lap. My car is about 3 seconds a lap faster in GP mode than career but my teammate Raikonnen set a fastest lap of 1;34.5 in the career race and a fastest lap of 1:34.4 in the GP race. Where as I set a fastest lap of about 1:35.2 in the career race and on just the 2nd lap of the GP race I was in the 1:33.3's. The other big difference for the player between the 2 modes is tyre wear. In GP mode my tyres tend to go off at about the same time as everyone else's and the pitstop strategy of the engineer is perfect. In career my tyres are completely shot about 2 laps before my pitstop window yet the AI keep setting faster lap times every lap till they stop. The career AI needs to have there cars development start and improve the same as the player and legend AI in the other modes needs to be made harder or at least have there setup values displayed for the player (teammate of course) so we can use equal machinery. Career is spoiled knowing I'm at a massive disadvantage to everyone else. Until this is fixed I'll go back to using GP mode to do a career by recording the results myself and using the default setups to keep it challenging.
