Wondering if ability levels are entered manually or whether the game figures out how good you are and puts you in games with players of similar level?

I really hope it is at random. I race against drivers of my level in leagues, the public lobbies are there for me to sit back and relax a bit. Call of Duty also made a huge mistake with skill based matchmaking with Advanced Warfare

Relax in public lobbies?! They're the most terrifying thing in racing games, full of nutters and wreckers!

How would that work if you're playing with mates and you're all at different skill levels? 

On that topic, do you create a pre lobby with friends and then join an online race together, like you do in BF4?

That's the beauty of it! Having some fun avoiding the nutters and wreckers, and if you get spun out the small challenge of getting back to the front. The average pace isn't that good in a public lobby so it's really fun to drop to the back of the grid and then try to win it in 3 laps! (or 25%, depends on the game mode of course)

Is there any chance that the Host can kick troublemakers in lobbies like they could back on F1 2010? The whole kick vote system has been fairly useless since and has allowed the nutters and wreckers to thrive and ruin decent racing, so if there is a way of  kicking persistent trouble makers then that would be great.

I feel good after some 6 year old nutter or something goes on a rampage and I love avoiding them until you see the little notification that says (E.G) IAMGOD or something has disconnected (Rage quit after they put their car in the wall and couldn't catch up to the rest of the pack because they are nubbs) then I say TROLOLOOLOLLOLLOL. EDIT: I meant slow nubbs :P

I don't know if they do it for achvmts, test damage limits, noobs to this driving style, kids or to cause havok purposely but surely Codies could create a lobby for those that get kicked. Would be great to have tv cam viewing of these troublemakers in their races or whatever they call it

Im more hoping you can find people of your level, cause I know I am crap and just want to drive with people my level, so I don't piss the good drivers off.

Haha you guys sound like me. I have a very bad internet connection, so when I am bumping people on their screen, I am no where near them on mine. I try to race the cleanest that I can, unfortunately it doesn't always happen.

Hello, me and my friend have been racing in a custom lobby filled with AI, and there seems to be a problem syncing the race, in my race I'll be winning but in his I'll be 5th or whatever. But the final result comes out fine but it's as if we're not racing each other. Is anyone else having this problem and is it server related?

Fix this broken piece of crap. The multiplayer flat out doesn't work, AT ALL. 30 minutes I just tried to even join a lobby, nevermind get a race! I can't believe you would release a game in this state.

I'm trying to connect to an online session of three hours , the worst edition of which came out from 2010 , FBB on the T500 RS is a joke

Why is there no stat-tracking? 

[Danform123 0]

Online options are terrible!! I don't want a race where damage is reduced and all cars are equal!! Why can't we pick from a list of games like befite

 if you create a custom game nobody joins!!! Rubbish 

[Danform123 0]

Can't even find a game anyway online. Bring back lobby lists!! Nobody wants AI in an online race, who has time for 25%+ races!!

Damage isn't even full on hardcore..

no option for realistic car performance.....

might be be returning this as will my friends

Given the number of questions I've seen on Twitch and YouTube the past couple of days asking if it was still possible... apparently, yes, they do.

Ok so why not just have lobbies you create that people can join so those people can put AI in the race

i have no interest in racing AI, I can't be the only one who wants to race real people in a custom lobby

there was nothing wrong with how online was before, changed for no good reason

I think this is the worst F1 game I have had, I don't understand how you can make a game worse like this...

Multiplayer is full of people that just take you out and get no penalties or a 3 second penalty? What's the point in racing if you just get wiped out and have to either pit or lose 10 seconds on everyone else if the person who hits you just loses 3 seconds?

Welcome to every online racing game, ever.

This game has the worst multiplayer of all your f1 games.......who honestly thought that this hopper system was a good idea???....it's impossible to get into games and if you want to play a game it's full of options that nobody wants.......bring back public custom lobbies
