And here's the "final" table of Driver Ratings I made. Some interesting thoughts: Only 3 drivers got an increase in Racecraft, while 7 drivers got a reduction of it; 4 drivers got the Awareness reduction: Leclerc (already commented - for Sakhir), Stroll (probably justified), Kvyat (Portimao, most likely?) and Grosjean (likely Bahrain...); Least changes happened to Perez - he only got the Experience boost and nothing else changed for him; Biggest changes, IMO, happened to Latifi - +3 Exp, +2 Racecraft, +6 Awareness but -3 Pace. Another mention is Norris - +5 Awareness and +2 Pace raised his overall by 2.

Obviously, with the new Podium Pass we will get a patch, because, after all, Codemasters need to "implement" the new stuff (it's not in the game files yet, last I checked). Of course, it will include other game changes, but I'm not very sure what changes will happen.

So... Seems it is fresh news, but EA has "tabled a potentially knockout bid for Codemasters, trumping an offer agreed last month with Take-Two Interactive Software". https://news.sky.com/story/games-giant-electronic-arts-gatecrashes-725m-codemasters-takeover-12160582 So... Who would we like to see more, EA or Take-Two?

Same as before - new comparison, comparing with the previous stats. You can see the previous comparison above. Biggest winner in this update is Latifi, of course. Biggest "loser" - Albon, followed closely by Kimi. Least changes happened to Vettel - the only change was a -1 decrease to his pace. (New stats taken from here https://www.formula1game.com/2020/news/f1-2020-driver-ratings-update-eifelgp)

So far, I think the most annoying thing Jeff says was in every start: "After the points finish last weekend, let's aim for another Top 10 finish" Bloody hell, I'm a front-runner car, I fight for wins, and you expect only a P10 for me? And not to mention this happens more or less every race... Say something more for once please.

Like the changes made. Now I can unleash my own Scenario 7 in the races. In the future, could we probably get AI number selection in other modes too? Or maybe a "Select AI" screen like in Multiplayer - would be a nice addition. Or just essentially a "Custom Race" with bigger freedom than in GP mode? 😅

As I got reminded on Twitter, Max actually has the same amount of GPs participated as Sainz, so maybe it's that. And Sainz has 66 EXP.

Here's a nice detailed table of the changes done to the ratings. Green - improved, Yellow - no change, Red - worsened. Comparison based on the initial driver stats (with those which launched with the game, based on the cards here https://www.formula1game.com/2020/news/F12020-My-Team-Mode )

(This procedure seems oddly familiar... 😅) 1. A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. I was returning to the pits manually (or the so-called In-Lap) and when I entered the pits, I got some confusing information - even though the game UI reported the Fuel Mix is set to 1 (Lean) (as I selected), a dashboard in SimHub I'm using (which uses the UDP data stream) reported that my fuel mixture while I was in the pits was Level 3 (Rich). Looking at the fuel usage, it seems like the game is actually using the "Rich" Fuel Mix, even though the UI says otherwise. I was using the "Haas" car in Bahrain (normal layout). 2. Platform PC (Steam) 3. What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.07 4. Game-mode? Driver Career mode. 5. What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. It happened every time in Practice - since I did all the Practice Programmes and I did the In-Lap every time (and did some Practice Programmes multiple times), it's most likely 10/10 times. It probably also happens in other sessions too - I'll have to check some more. Replication: - Exit the pits; - Drive a lap around the track and come back to pits; - Make sure the Fuel Mix set in the UI is either Lean or Normal; - When in the pits, check the UDP data stream - Fuel Mix will be reported as 3 (Rich), which is actually used in the game (most likely). 6. What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue Tried using different Fuel Mixes when entering, also tried switching Fuel Mix in the pits - didn't help. 7. What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) Xbox One gamepad. Also using my phone + SimHub + Custom dashboard for UDP data information. 8. Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears. I am not sure if I can do a video or take screenshots of this - since the UDP data is reported on my phone and UI is on my computer. Additional note: I feel like this is a bug continuing back from F1 2017 - back in that game, I remember having very similar issues with fuel usage in the pits, but I was told that's how it should be. With the new UDP data available, I feel like this is a bug which was in the game for quite some time now...

I think it's not only sound issue, but the engine performance itself isn't switching also. Might be a major bug if that's true.

I think it's not possible. Both gamemodes utilize different game mechanics. In one, you only need to take care of your results mostly (and no proper calendar, I think?), in another, you need to manage money, sponsors, 2nd driver, check calendar, etc. They are vastly different. My Team is, essentially, an expanded Career Mode.

Well, if you launch the game from Steam directly (not using a shortcut on desktop, etc), it will ask you if you want to launch a DX12 or a DX11 version.

Oh boy, here we go again... 😆

I mean... They are still there. You can't just "Replace" them yet.

Just... don't invite Scott (ITB), he'll rage too much 😄
