Car Performance

Recommended Posts

the performance are based up to the Chinese GP. they plan on updating in future patch if there is a need.

So if you play the game, will McLaren now be backmarkers?
Yeah [Paul, a self-confessed McLaren fan, looks glum]. That's the thing – everyone asks why the game launches after the start of the season. Well, forgetting the fact there's no way the teams are going to give you all the reference details early enough, who would pick the performance order and the differences between them? You'd be getting so far off reality.

We started the submission process after China, so we'd seen all the pre-season tests, we'd seen Melbourne, Malaysia and China, and now you're going 'Well OK, here's the performance order', and then you see something like Monaco and McLaren pick up points, and you're like 'Well maybe they can turn it around'. And then you see China and that didn't go well – you can't knee jerk around with F1 as sometimes a particular circuit's characteristics may make an improvement.

I saw a video where McLaren was top ten? I think this might be wrong?

was that in 2014 mode or 2015 because the 2014 car was  middle of the pack it's the 2015 car that's struggling. Even then the McLaren got 10th at Silverstone and I believe Button got points at Monaco as well. Besides you do get strange results in sports sometimes maybe it's a one off. Personally I think it's good when sometimes you get a result like that as it shakes the game up a bit.
