re: 2022 Formula 1 Season Thread

Probably the best place to take engine penalties would be a GP with Sprint Qualifying, but this isn't terrible. Y'all think it would be prudent to take an extra penalty at Silverstone just to have 2 for the rest of the year?

Considering RBR had the worst amplitude of porposing in Spain I wouldn't read too much into who will be punished by this and who won't.

What? Didn't Mercedes have the worst numbers at like 6gs or something, or did the read the chart completely wrong?
Posted on 6/16/22 at 2:17 pm to saintforlife1
That was Baku. Someone has posted all the available data and it is all over the charts for each race.

reports that Charles is getting PU3 with a new turbo this weekend. So that means a 10-place grid penalty on Sunday.
Or is the thought they he'll know need it eventually, so why not do it now in a good spot?

Well, his last one is probably still in Maranello so he doesn't have a lot of choice.

I'll just say thanks in advance so I don't waste a post afterwards.

I'm just starting to get into F1 2021, but playing it a shite ton, so in the next week or 2 I'm going to purchase a racing wheel/stand/chair set and hopefully try to get into it a bit more.
I know iRacing is the best one going, but I wonder if there are any F1 specific type leagues?
I'm definitely not good enough now, I use a couple of assists and can still drive more erratically than I want to lol. But hopefully the wheel and more time put in can help with that.
Be careful, its very addicting
F1 2021 games are a good start, iracing is harder but is way more realistic and can end up in a race with Verstappen and has a ton of options as far as racing other cars, here is my Sim Rig setup.

You get three ICE. Once you use up those three it's a 10 place grid penalty. Each subsequent ICE used is a 5 place grid penalty. There are allowances on other bits and pieces as well.

And Merc showed last year that take tge 10 early and the 5 is much more bearable.
Fwiw the, somewhat lenient, penalties are a holdover from when RBR was burning through Honda engines and protested F1 that the penalties were too harsh, so they were greatly reduced.
Doesn't really matter, but shows how the winds blow, and usually in favor of the chasing teams.

My boys are away for the summer, my wife picking up all kinds of random shifts and working weekends, and I just have a shite ton of free time.

I'm gonna grab the Logitech G923 and a cheap $100 or so racing stand and start there.
Definitely not ready for something like iRacing. I really want to do the cockpit view but I'm just terrible at it, so I'm using the TV offset pod view on F1 2021 currently.
Again, thinking from being a starter, I've always been wanting to get a nice $200-300 office chair as I work from home at a computer all day, so I'm thinking I'll just get a nice chair, maybe a PC type gaming chair and for now just use that as my chair to get with the wheel/stand.
I guess if I'm still logging hours per day down the road, a setup something like you have would be something to look into. I'm very jealous.
I still don't think I understand what the DD does in addition the wheel's force feedback?

Thats plenty good enough. For sim racing and racing in general its all about the brakes. Sure a fancy wheel has some useful stuff like changing brake bias in race, and fuel mix and what not but its mostly just tight to look at, and the end of the day, you just need something to turn. Braking is much more precise and where you should spend money first if you ever do decide to invest.

In iracing its not even an option
All the pro e-sports drivers in f1 2021 use that pod view, which just seems bullshite because its sim racing as in simulated, i think the leagues should force them. Anyways, you get used to it real quick. IF you want to improve my advice to you is
1) learn the tracks, its the hardest thing to do, but track knowledge is how you go fast. That means turning off the racing line and memorizing your braking points and turn in points. Its gonna be a disaster at first but you can't driver properly if you are looking at the line in front of the car
2) Learn race craft, imagine its a $20M car that you can crash 100 times. To finish first, first you must finish. Lots of people want to treat every lap like a qualifying lap, but race pace is far more important. Just ask Leclerc....zing.
3) On tha note work on racing and doing long stints, don't just keep trying to do fastest laps.

But I know in real life, you may just stay behind that car for 20, 30 or more laps and just not be fast enough to get by them. I've gotten better but still have frick ups and run myself off the track getting too antsy trying to pass a guy.

I raced online for years back when rF1-based sims and rF2 were dominant. I assume rF2 is still popular with hardcore racing leagues? I loved the tire model in rF2, but I actually prefered the simplicity of the rF1 sims I used (GSCE/Automobilista). Anyway, one piece of hardware that I always wanted to try but never did was a load-cell brake. I finally realized from racing with someone who was very similar to me, that I wore tires out faster than others from overbraking with my crappy setup. I probably should have been smarter with the settings, reducing maximum brake pressure. But the added realism of a load-cell brake would have been sweet. I've never tried a direct drive wheel either, but I think I would want to upgrade the brake first.

F1 is the worst because the cockpit is so low, and the view is so bad. And now it's even worse with that damn halo strut in front of you. I saw on YouTube that some sim made the strut see-through, which I think is the way to go, because in real life I believe our binocular vision makes it easy to see around the strut, but you don't get that in a sim. Anyway, I raced for years with the camera above the cockpit, but once I forced myself to drive in cockpit view and got used to it, it was fine. I recommend switching to cockpit view sooner than later.

Definitely turn off the racing line! Your eyes are looking in the wrong place. Learn the lines by following the AI around. When you turn into a corner you should be looking for the apex and then the exit before you get there.

Sim racing teaches you so much about racing. Setup, strategy, tire wear, pit stops, being in the zone. It gets even better and more nerve-wracking when you race against real people. It's more fun when you can find people at your level to race with in a league setting. You will learn how incredibly stressful it is to lead a race with someone breathing down your neck. Your appreciation for what the real drivers do will skyrocket.

I got into F1 legit 2 or 3 weeks ago after randomly catching the last half of Monaco. Granted, I've read a shite ton of articles, but just playing F1 2021 at 50% length helped me learn the most of just the very basic understandings of the season and the races/strategy, etc. Again, basic understanding.
quote:Definitely sounds like it would take the fun factor up a few notches. My plan is to get the wheel in the next week or so, practice and hopefully see a marked improvement from where I am today, then see if there are leagues out there that may work for me.

The load cell helps so much, i stared with a load cell because I'm incapable of buying beginner gear when i do anything
The DD wheel is just so much fun, you can feel every little bump on iracing, its crazy how realistic the feedback is, its not so much even about the torque but since the wheel is the only actual feedback you get so it helps replicate that seat of the pants feedback you get in a real racecar.
