Season II - F1 2016 RACEONOZ Formula One World Championship (PS4)

Ahh so it was the tablets I was taking :/ though so

Just for your own personal growth, maybe in the future you shouldn't take the pills some random guy gave you on a street corner.

Nothing to write home about, a good start ruined in a carbon copy of Spa, but no SC to help this time. Had some severe braking issues throughout the race which hampered my progress, but my crash into the pit wall trying to make up time was all me. Hopefully it doesn't hurt too much in the long run.

Huge congrats to Motors on a fine win.

Victory got stolen by what I think was a Motors lag punt on lap 23
Was on a comfortable 1 stopper but after hitting the wall (whilst I was fully along side early in the 2nd DRS zone) I had to pit again due to wing damage.

Dissapointed to run around 5th for so much of the race only to run out of road inside Jim and the result being lots of wear lost in the spin and 15 or so laps later a penultimate lap puncture......go figure Was gambling with a 1 stopper and it nearly paid off, oh well I'm getting glimpses of cutting it at the top of the field but reckon I may be a little to opportunistic

Well done motors on the win and @Toranafan-02 on managing that 1 stop...

Race started and my glorious g29 pedals had jammed the brakes on and yeah that's me..

Had some really good scraps throughout the race. Just disappointed my race ended the way it did.

Yep I hear ya @Bryan_F


@RHINO11 i had no issue with the first contact, we were racing side by side through a corner, no biggie.

Full race video.

First 5 minutes of Benny's race where he's behind me really illustrates this, I seemed to really struggle for traction trying to get the power down and had to correct the car quite excessively through almost every turn for the whole race. Evern on brand new tyres...any ideas as to why this is happening?

Seemingly a much less interesting run for me. No major incidents. Expected to get lapped MUCH earlier than I did with such short laps. Got somewhere around the 20 lap point before the blue flags came out. Pretty happy with that.

Race:

Do you run traction control? If yes its gotta be setup

Bump your differential up. Default setting is far too low.

Oooh might want to fix that up mate, you posted the Monza race!

That I did. There was bound to be some kind of incident somewhere tonight.. hahaha All fixed.

Its the never ending setup battle of F1, to have good turn in and stability getting on the throttle. Wing balance, suspension and diff all have an effect on how early you can get on the throttle.

That for me was the race of many emotions
First off was able to grab my second pole of the season by the slimmest of margins over Knuckles who was very impressively on the front row and Razor with all 3 of us being within a tenth of each other.

Got a tidy launch off the line but like everyone else really struggled with traction so was unable to pull a margin over the chasing pack behind. Ended up pitting lap 7 to get the horribly worn Ultras on to switch to softs.

As the SS starters cycled through the pits for their first stop i resumed the lead but despite pulling away from Knuckles. Benny was on a charge and by lap 18 he had completely caught up after i'd been held up by Hatfield who i ended losing a piece of front wing to. My attempts at holding Benny off resulted in some pretty cool side by side racing however lap 23 came around and after a better run out of the hairpin Benny once again was next to me and then randomly crashed into the wall (Just want of make it clear there was zero contact on my screen). Then the same lap on the approach to the final 2 right handers i receive the dreaded "Migrating Host". I freaked out because i knew with the likes of Jono, Seth having difficult races i knew their wouldn't be many more chances for me to win a race. Have to massively thank Hatfield/Warrior whose additional invites sent prior to the race got me back into the lobby.

Ended up back in the race on lap 25 where i pitted immediately knowing the likes of Benny, Razor and Knuckles had already stopped to put SS on. With a slightly BS front wing change of 2.8 seconds i was able to just get ahead of Knuckles and that was all i needed to bring the Silver Arrows their first win of the season. After the heartbreak at Monza with the console freeze this was the best way to recover from that with Pole,Win and fastest lap.

@Nigel Burley Mercs are back on top mate, You said it last week. .

First ever front row start. Happy with that. Good start but tyres where always going to go early. Undercuts worked and the battle at the end was great fun. First time ive got to really race benny since season 12 gt6. Always spot on. Poo end but this game gets better every week.

Yeah you can see I tried to avoid it as I darted to the right when we made the contact but oh well, my spin was my trademark overly optimistic move gone wrong

Cheers @its-benny-racer, @JonoStan96 and @Toranafan-02, will have a play with my setup and see what I can do but I can't set up a car to save a live.....end up using Spectres set ups every week Yeah was running low traction so will have a play with that.

I normally go in time trial and play with a couple of the top setups until I find one stable enough for me
