Missing Baku Chicane.

Recommended Posts

Its the track's debut in F1 2016 and its missing the brand new chicane. I hope the missing chicane can be updated in the near future.... I also hope codemasters are considering it at all.. This does affect gameplay. it was added in real life for a specific reason.

Do you mean this fast left ,left ,right chicane in the 2.sector ? With the missing curb on the right side?

Take a look at the gameplay videos going around youtube of Baku. You will see that going into the castle area, there is a second chicane that is currently missing. There was also changes made to the pit entry. make a quick google search "FIA changes Baku pit entry and chicane" for a more in depth explanation.

That's what I mean from my first comment . I know . The curb is missing and it's closer .

Compare and see the entry toward the castle. there is indeed a missing chicane.

Yeah. I think it should be added if they can. It helps make a better more stable and quicker entry. :) Not at all a deal breaker for me, but would be nice to see the update.

I see what you mean now and when CM get the new track they only get the basic blueprints my guess is that that curb wasn't there on the basic blueprints and was added later. If it's not there in 2016 it almost certainly will be for 2017 I suspect assuming there is a 2017 game. Valencia too had this problem on F1 2010 when that came out and was missing some details but they were corrected for 2011 so chances are the same thing will happen with Baku.

I must be missing something, or have a different definition of chicane lol

I think he's referring to the curb but personally it's not that big a problem.

I think it is something that Codemasters had this layout prior to the real GP, but they didn't want to change it straight away because the FIA were adding this removing that ! It would be pointless adding something only to take it out :)

I'm not concerned about the kerbs being slightly wrong, I'm dreading coming into the pits and obliterating my front wing!

tbh I'd be more concerned with that too.

There isn't a missing Chicane, there is a missing kerb.

Its not a big issue, but sort the kerb and the wall at the last (proper) corner, and Baku will be ace.
