Race Pace

Recommended Posts

in the race lap times are so much quicker than they are in real life, why?

https://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/championship/results/dhl-fastest-lap-2015.html

1:30s at australia? i just did a 1:26 in a redbull during the race and same with almost all the other lap times and a 1:16.9 in canada? on f1 2015 you can do easy 1:12 - 1:13 during the race can this be fixed for 2016 where lap times are alot closer to that of the real life F1? and i noticed when watching onboard when they race that the lines they take are sometimes quite different and if you try it on the game it wont be the quickest line

anyone else feel this way?

also the track dimensions are also off by quite a bit, the flat out right hander at canada into that little stadium section? i think? anyways in game you can go flat out around it get your car all the way to the right side of the track and then brake, but in real life you go flat out and brake before you can get to the right, heres a video:

i also think in the game you can brake much later then you'd be able to in real life which would also improve your lap time

actually, now that i think about it, the braking later part may solve what i just said up there ^

The lap times are faster in the game due to the physics being extremely easy, forgiving and unrealistic.
Not knocking them for it, it's a design decision for accessibility.

I'd agree with the race pace begin incredibly quick, I (Vettel) qualified on pole at China on at 1:37:9.. and I was about 6 tenths faster than Bottas then in the race on the second lap Bottas is doing 1:37:5's and I'm doing 1:39's so it seems the ai aren't affected by fuel load or tyre wear because I had to make an extra stop before finishing 4th...
