Questions about the Research and Development

Recommended Posts

In F1 2016 career mode:
1. If i do a lot of upgrades, will the car be faster in Abu Dhabi compared to if i make no upgrades? I guess it should be.
2. Does the rest of field make as many upgrades as you, or is their upgrade rate independent from the player? For example, if i make no upgrades during the hole year, will it be more difficult to win in Abu Dahabi compared to if i make a lot of upgrades? Or are just the times for everyone faster or slower (see question 1), but the difficulty is the same?
3. Does the upgrades remain in the following season? For example i go 3 years with the same car, will it be faster in the 3. year, if a make a lot of upgrades in the first 2 years?
4. What happens if i change the team at the end of the season? Are all upgrades gone?

1. I assume the cars get quicker if you upgrade, So Yes.

2. They make A LOT less upgrades compared to What the player is able to do if (s)he plays all the practice programs. One of the big problems in F1 2016 imo.

3. Yes, upgrades stay on the car, But if you switch teams you Will obviously have to do with the upgrades that team has already done (And you can still do more yourself) + you lose resource points When switching.

4. Your upgrades Will stay on the team you leave, But the team you go to Probably Will not have Done the same upgrades. E.g. If you go from a McLaren Thats Fully upgraded to Mercedes, then the McLaren keeps the upgrades it had, And you Will drive with the Mercedes, with Only the upgrades on it that they have already Done.

hope i've answered your questions.

Hello Phil, thank you very much for taking the time for these extensive and excellent answers.
You say that the other teams make less upgrades in F1 2016. How was that before in previous F1 Games? Was it different? I could never verify it, cause i got faster, but mostly for making less error's.
How many difference can you make in one Year? If you make all or lot of upgrades, will it be 10% more speed for the 2. year?
Can you see somewhere how many upgrades did the other teams?

Best regards
