Lack Of Engine Power

Recommended Posts

Driving a Williams at Silverstone. First lap out of the pits I get to the end of the Hanger straight easily in 8th gear at 201 M.P.H. Second lap, same place, 7th gear just over 191 M.P.H. Third lap, same place, only just got into 7th, 183 M.P.H. Why is my car losing straight line speed? Also, the small car diagram on the HUD? Sometimes green, sometimes grey, sometimes red? Sorry if I'm missing something but what is this telling me? Many thanks.....

I thought red meant I was running the engine too hot which is why power was down, but even when its green with throttle hard down the engine will not pull on a straight.....

Would be nice to get some clarification. You  would think the manual that comes with it would at least make this clear, but its not mentioned......

I love the core driving experience the game offers, but there are some very strange omissions from Codemasters........

I even tried looking on the Help tab in the game menu but it just gives a link to Codies website!!! Why even put it there other than just to fill the options list out a bit.... ??

I've just done a few time trial laps and as a test I used full TC and ABS. My corner exit speeds are way better as I can jump on the power without worrying about wheelspin, therefore speed down the straight is obviously higher. Unfortunately on TT there is no mix option to test properly. I figured maybe it was my throttle application on exit with assist off that might be killing straight line pace...

the little car icon in the HUD shows you if ypur pit is available.. red means your teammade is in the pit, green means he is out then it turns grey again. 

but i dont know why there are perfomance issues with the car sometimes.. sometimes i am 10-20 KM/h slower than the others with aero 1-1 or 3-1
