Portimao, Imola & Jeddah: Out Now ✅

[MadEvilBeavis76 53]

I mean more his last tracks. Hockenheimring is a good one. I like both the new and the old layout. I´m not playing the game at the moment so much. Downgrade for me since 1.06 in thermes of graphic on ps5 and the sound is like mono sometimes. Needs a big overhall. Look in 2019 and for me 2020 and 2019 are crisper with checkerboard rendering. Cutscenes and Replays looking so much better, because of minor or no tearing in the previous games. 

It would be nice to see the tracks before the jeddah grand prix, they should sell the game for less money. This is not a full price for a current gen console. It would be better to sell the game for 50 Euros and make an add on with the three tracks and a bit more content for 20 Euros.

That is my opinion. So many bugs, this is a beta game, nothing is final here only the podium pass and pit coin shop.

No answers from the developpers nothing, since one month.

Ballancing is very disappointing. I like how much they work on the patches, but it is unacceptable to not give us any informations for a game that is bugged in every way.

I´m really frustrated at the moment, because. I have three big bugs in a row on the sochi course. First I´m starting from last place, because I´ve changed the MGU Power unit, second I´m starting in the race from the last position, but the mgu is broken. Third, I cannot manage the fuel consumption. Take to more litres since I know something is wrong with my tank on the first race since 8 laps.5 laps before ending the race I´m going out of fuel. I have fuel for one round. Lift and cost for three rounds before. Start the race with 2 litres more and the car feels really hevy and is not working well with my setup. Tyrewear is gone to early. Sorry but this is no fun. One race before, I spun without any reason on a straight. 

I´m an average player, but good enough to see that this is not normal. I can´t play without replays in the new game. Game is crashing more in the my team carreer like before 1.05. My team carreer is not playable for me. I think they make a reroll on the ps5. A lot of gaming components now of a earlier state. You can see that on some tracks on the level of detail. Very disappointing.

Sorry that was a lot of off topic stuff. It is not oly codemasters it is in so many games at the moment. WE are the early access player.

Chain Bear has a solid piece on Tilke's tracks

It's almost like he's fond of jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes he spits out something like this. Sometimes he manages beauties like this. He either built or renovated:

• Red Bull Ring (technically just renovated but it was a huge overhaul)
• Sepang (built)
• Bahrain (built)
• Shanghai (built)
• Istanbul (built)
• Singapore (built)
• Buddh (built)
• COTA (built)
• Baku (built)
• Korea (built)
• Mexico (renovated but significantly)
• Hockenheimring (renovation)
• Fuji Speedway (renovation)
• Nurburgring (renovation)

A handful of solid entries in there. However he also designed from scratch or renovated:

• Abu Dhabi
• Sochi

Really like the Red Bull Ring. Never raced in Sepang, Istanbul, Buddh, Korea and Nurburgring, but the first three here are of fame and well regarded by fans and drivers alike, as far as I know. And Bahrain, Shanghai, COTA and Baku may have sections that displease some people, but they all have character and I personally love racing on them. Singapore is also a hell of an event on the calendar.

That may well be the video that I was referencing, yeah! 

I think one of the bigger complaints is that it's all a little too safe now.  I don't mean in terms of drivers not having monstrous accidents as nobody wants to see that, but more along the lines of there's so much run off that you're not punished for mistakes. 

Some tracks are decent but there is a sense that it's basically the same cookie-cutter that's doing them all. That being said; some of them have rather beautiful scenery. Others are limited based on geography but I think he's generally done an okay job with what he's got to work with.

I've been wondering whether this is made by CM or not, the graphics, animation, and physics certainly did look like it was from our game:

What a dull circuit, reminds me of skiing, left-right-left-right... Can I swap this for Turkey (please?) 😄

No because We Race As One, it's the best location you know 🙃?

Herman Tilke designed some of my favourite tracks and some of my most hated. It is like with the game love and hate. Sometimes I love it, and sometimes I hate it. I hope in the future I will love it more 🙂

Has he designed all the grandstands on the tracks too? Has he? THan he had designed the most innovative looking grandstands. Sepang, China, Bahrain and Pitlane straights with innovative looking pitlane buildings and grandstands.

Edited August 13, 2021 by MadEvilBeavis76

[marioho 1,250]

@MadEvilBeavis76 I think Tilke's studio also has grandstands and track surroundings as a forte. One of the reasons for corporations actually going after them for their track renovations and projects. Tilke's designs probably incorporate both stands and buildings in the design instead of simply leaving a blank area for whoever to fill in.

And I wouldn't be surprised if some of his shortcomings come from the contractee requirements for buildings and amenities.

Intendo più le sue ultime tracce. Il circuito di Hockenheim è buono. Mi piace sia il nuovo che il vecchio layout. Non sto giocando molto al momento. Downgrade per me dalla 1.06 in termini di grafica su ps5 e il suono a volte è come mono. Ha bisogno di una grande revisione. Guarda nel 2019 e per me il 2020 e il 2019 sono più nitidi con il rendering a scacchiera. I filmati e i replay hanno un aspetto molto migliore, a causa di strappi minori o assenti nei giochi precedenti. 

Sarebbe bello vedere le piste prima del gran premio di jeddah, dovrebbero vendere il gioco per meno soldi. Questo non è un prezzo pieno per una console di generazione attuale. Sarebbe meglio vendere il gioco a 50 euro e fare un add-on con le tre tracce e un po' più di contenuti a 20 euro.

Questa è la mia opinione. Così tanti bug, questo è un gioco beta, niente è definitivo qui solo il passaggio sul podio e il negozio di monete dei box.

Nessuna risposta dagli sviluppatori niente, da un mese.

Il bilanciamento è molto deludente. Mi piace quanto lavorino sulle patch, ma è inaccettabile non darci nessuna informazione per un gioco che è buggato in tutti i modi.

Sono davvero frustrato al momento, perché. Ho tre grossi insetti di fila al corso di Sochi. Per prima cosa parto dall'ultimo posto, perché ho cambiato l'unità MGU Power, secondo parto in gara dall'ultima posizione, ma la mgu è rotta. Terzo, non riesco a gestire il consumo di carburante. Prendete più litri poiché so che c'è qualcosa che non va nel mio serbatoio nella prima gara dopo 8 giri. 5 giri prima di terminare la gara sto finendo il carburante. Ho carburante per un round. Sollevare e costare per tre round prima. Inizia la gara con 2 litri in più e la macchina sembra davvero pesante e non funziona bene con il mio setup. Tyrewear è andato troppo presto. Mi dispiace ma non è divertente. Una gara prima ero andato in testacoda senza motivo su un rettilineo. 

Sono un giocatore medio, ma abbastanza bravo da capire che non è normale. Non posso giocare senza replay nel nuovo gioco. Il gioco si blocca di più nella carriera della mia squadra come prima della 1.05. La mia carriera di squadra non è giocabile per me. Penso che facciano un reroll su ps5. Molti componenti di gioco ora di uno stato precedente. Puoi vederlo su alcune tracce a livello di dettaglio. Molto deludente.

Mi dispiace che fosse un sacco di cose fuori tema. Non sono solo i codemaster, lo è in così tanti giochi al momento. NOI siamo il giocatore ad accesso anticipato

That's the most annoying bug imo

Didn’t Jeddah get blown up by the Death Star in rogue one

BREAKING NEWS

Due to the complete destruction of the Jeddah race track, FOM had confirm the Death Star Grand Prix will be replacing it on the 2021 calendar.

"We're very happy to announced our cooperation with the Galactic Empire and host our first ever Death Star Grand Prix in 2021, Empire united over all, we race as one."

Fans reaction:

"Will it be included in the F1 2021 game 😍?"

"Didn't the Death Star already modelled from other games?? Should be easy to implement it straight into the F1 game then!🤬"

"Is it gonna be design by Tilke again? 🤢"

[Ultra3142 1,394]

Was the track blown up by a fan keen to avoid a boring race I wonder?

(I fear Zandvoort is going to be a complete snooze-fest too, so if a temporary closure could be arranged to add a race somewhere more interesting actually...)

 Typical crazy fun time Dutch tho.  In a completely flat country they build a track like that on the only hill...  it’s hard enough getting around the rollercoaster.   But it’s a pain in the ass trying to avoid ai when overtaking or being overtaken

I'd love to be proved wrong but I fear overtaking action in real F1 is going to be rather Monaco-like in its frequency.

It's a fun track to drive when there aren't other cars in the way though 🙂.

[ScaredDuck 784]

I’ve only race it in my team season 1.  Did great in qualifying.  Race pace wasn’t great across the whole lap.  Some corners I was quicker than ai behind.  Then another corner they would be all over me

from the track layout i would say that there is no spot that is ideal for overtaking.
And since it will be a track through the city (like singapore or baku), it should also be quite narrow.
Doesn't looks like a fun track to race.

 I like Baku.

That's the overriding fear with the track.  It'll be a great experience to hear all the Dutch fans at their home race (as they're pretty decent already in Belgium and Austria) but like Monaco, and even Imola to an extent , the cars have got too big and too quick to make the racing as exciting on the older tracks as it once was. I think the atmosphere will be amazing but the race a little flat. 

That being said, i'd like to see Hamilton/Bottas trying to race out the circuit after punting Max off on the first lap again.

A French streamer, Hydro, interviewed a certain Dan from Codemasters, he would have told him that the tracks would be available in September and Hydro repeated it in two of his videos on Youtube

Well if that is true it may confirm that it's probably coming in with the new Podium Pass. If i'm not wrong it ends in the first half of September.

[SmokyAtom07 401]

Yeah, there's a guy called Daniel on another site who says they're coming next month.  I've no idea who he is but all the others treat him as a god so I imagine he must have more intricate knowledge than us mere mortals who feed on scraps of rumour.

Supposedly the 3rd week of September.  Absolutely zero proof and without official notice from CM, it's just hearsay.
