Team and/or Driver acclaim might have a factor in it too. The higher that is, the more chance suppliers will fall over themselves to be part of your team. Just a guess.

The Esports build was updated several times up until a few days ago, and the full patch version is now up to Patch 13, as of this evening. You can check here: https://steamdb.info/app/1080110/history/ I've been in the habit of checking it every day and chewing my fingers to the bone with impatience.

New version of the patch is in testing according to SteamDB. Guessing it'll be up Monday, *hoping* it'll be up Friday.

I remember in previous F1 games this was definitely a thing that changed, and it's something that would freshen the next season up if you did well, i.e. not be rubbish with Williams and not have to crawl to the end of the pitlane next season. It's something that's always been done, so why it's not in the game this year I don't know. Pretty meh if you're doing MyTeam, you especially want to see the change in the heirarchy in the pitlane to reflect the rise (or fall) of your team.

It's by design apparently. I was looking at it again the other day and even in the narration it's stated "How you perform on the track will decide which F1 teams will come in for you", in so many words, can't remember the exact phrasing. But the key part is he definitely says "on the track", not "who you choose as your academy".

Why don't you want them in the game? Overtake mode and fuel mix are in the game because Codies have been told (including by drivers such as Lando Norris) that this is how F1 cars work.

I still have this manual myself, and the chapter "One lap of Monza for the rookies" is the reason I've always done my first laps on every new F1 game at Monza to get the feel of it.

In my experience, the more straights and less corners there are, the slower the AI will be overall. The more corners and less straights, the quicker the AI will be. This is because the AI does a perfectly programmed lap every time - they are programmed to keep a specific time (each difficulty level equals 0.100 seconds, so you're really manipulating a set pace for the AI), whereas a human player has to physically and mentally manage each corner. The more corners there are (Monaco, Singapore), the more likely it is for a human player to make a mistake, or be not on the pace for certain corners and therefore cause themselves to lose tenths every lap and fall backwards. On tracks with more straights (Monza and Austria are the best examples) you'll probably notice that you have to turn the difficulty up. Straights are obviously easy, and the corners on those circuits are relatively simple. This year the AI are supposed to be prone to make more mistakes but it's nowhere near what is required to balance things out. In nearly 3 seasons, I have seen a total of 2 saves by the AI. There could well be incidents that I'm not seeing but on the whole there have been zero accidents, zero DNFs from incidents - still all DNFs are from mechanical failure. We need more incidents, more brainfarts, more examples of the AI not being quite up to scratch, not making corners as well as they could, more humanizing of the AI, then things might just balance out a bit better. The AI are still on rails at the moment and it's a shame.

Well I don't know about you, but I've been specifically looking for a love marriage specialist located in Raipur, so I guess it's my lucky day! (jk) The last instance of crazy spam I saw here was trying to sell forged passports.

Yeah, I've only played Driver Career so far. Haven't touched MyTeam yet.

No, sounds like something that should be in there but isn't. A shame if it's been left out. I really miss having objectives. I don't know where I'm supposed to be finishing in races. I like having something to aim for. I especially miss the old system of having a number in a box next to your name in the driver list on the OSD, showing where you were supposed to qualify/finish, and it would be red or green depending on where you are currently.

I hope it's soon. I quit my old career save weeks ago and have been waiting to start afresh with the correct performances. Tying myself in knots waiting for it. 😁

I'm guessing it's because you forgot to change the fuel amount before you saved the setup the first time around. Saving the setup also saves the fuel amount too. I've made this mistake myself several times. Also, you can definitely change the fuel during parc ferme.

Description: Bahrain, race, 25% distance - race went fine until the post race cutscene where the game froze (once as the winner was getting out of his car, twice during the podium celebrations) and I got an EGO Dump dialogue box telling me the game had crashed. I have attached a crash dump zip. This is the first crash I've ever experienced on F1 2020. Platform: PC Version: 1.09 Game Mode: Driver Career Times Replicated: 3/3 Troubleshooting attempts: Switched to DX11 but the race was undriveable due to very poor performance, so I have no idea if it would have made a difference. Peripherals: PS3 Dualshock 3 gamepad via SCPToolkit 683168-20200916-031822-0.zip

Realistic helmet designs, not novelty pumpkin heads. I also wish we could grind out pitcoins with races, but that would obviously be pointless for Codies.

I understand this has been replicated and with the developers, but just to update this is still an issue on 1.07 during both formation laps and safety cars.

I also had this idea myself over the past few days. I'm not sure you can really compare the addition of a single driver to the addition of an entire circuit. Assuming Codies could get permission, they could use last year's facial model and texture (doubt they'd be able to schedule a facial scanning session just for this), then it's just a matter of putting his attributes in and sticking him in the Free Agent list. Would be nice to be able to sign him on MyTeam and finally give him that elusive podium.

Description When given a new strategy, you are only shown the current strategy that you are on, and not the new strategy that you are being offered. Can confirm this issue is still present in 1.06. I had reported this issue a while back and was told it was with developers and a fix had been found, so I'm re-reporting this issue under the assumption that it was supposed to have been fixed, but the fix isn't working. Version 1.06 Platform PC Game Mode Driver Career, MyTeam Peripherals Used PS3 Dualshock 3 gamepad via SCPToolkit

Confirming this isn't fixed in version 1.06. Started a new save to test and sure enough Parc Ferme rules aren't enforced at the start of the race, despite having it enabled. Can anyone else confirm that they're having this issue in season 1 only? And if you're in season 2, did it fix itself as it did with me?

Description The live timing section of the OSD (next to the drivers names in the top left) which displays the gap between you and the 4 drivers around you doesn't update when you enter the third sector of a circuit. It will only start updating again when you cross the finish line. This leaves a whole third of a lap where you are unsure of the gaps. It will also keep showing PIT next to drivers who have pitted while you are in sector 3 until you cross the finish line, upon which it will then update. This has a knock on effect if you're trying to work your strategy out on the fly, whether you should pit or not - you have nothing to measure your potential decisions against because you're not being given updated information on the other drivers. Game Version 1.5 Platform PC Game Mode Driver Career, MyTeam, Grand Prix (could well occur in multiplayer too, but I haven't tried that) Times Recreated This has occured on every lap of every race I've had - I'm reporting this as a bug although it could be by design. Peripherals Used PS3 Dualshock 3 gamepad via SCPToolkit How to recreate: Run a race in Driver Career, MyTeam or Grand Prix and as you enter sector 3 of the circuit, the live updating of the gaps will stop until you cross the finish line, upon which it'll start updating again. This will happen every lap.

An update on this, like my post in the Parc Ferme thread, this issue seems to have disappeared since starting Season 2. I'll let you know if it comes back.

Just to update, this was happening in every single race for me in my first season of Driver Career mode, but I'm now starting the first race of Season 2 and it's started working properly. @BarryBL I'm wondering if you're on Season 2 of your save, perhaps that's why you can't recreate it? Seems to be Season 1 only.

Closest I've got to this was finding Charles Leclerc's Monza time trial ghost that he did on one of his Twitch streams. Pretty awesome trying to keep up with a real F1 driver, also taught me a couple of things regarding braking technique and braking points. Idea: 'Beat The F1 Drivers', a section in Time Trial where every official F1 driver has submitted a ghost for every circuit and you have to beat it.

Version 1.05 Platform PC Game Mode Driver Career & MyTeam Peripherals Used Dualshock 3 gamepad via SCPToolkit Times Replicated Has occurred every single race since game release day / 1.04, so that would be over 12 occasions without fail. Session types I've used: Full qualifying, 50% distance race, 25% distance race Description When you go to the race and you're sat on the grid, go to Car Setup and all options are available and you can change everything, even though Parc Ferme is enabled. Parc Ferme works correctly during qualifying (setup locked after leaving the garage).

I've skimmed through the replies since I last posted, no idea if this was mentioned but there's also the matter of Exclusivity, let alone licensing in general. Because tracks like Nurburgring, Imola etc. weren't meant to be on the 2020 calendar, the games who do have licences to them probably aren't exactly going to take kindly to their ownership of their licence to suddenly not really mean anything. "Hang on, we made a deal, we've got the licence to that track and paid a lot of money to be the only game (or only one other than Game X or Y) to have it on our roster, and now you're saying that the F1 game is going to get it too?" The legal ramifications of that would just hold everything up anyway. And still, it would take a long time for Codies to build the tracks. By the time they've done that, they've wasted money and resources on tracks that probably won't be in the 2021 calendar, and could instead have used the talent and resources for other legitimate purposes. Edit: Also just saw a reference to the reference photography, I was going to mention this too. This was mentioned by Lee Mather when he was talking about Zandvoort. I think due to the Coronavirus it made recon of the circuit a lot harder. I may be misremembering though.
