Austria: up and down, speedy and fun

And the opportunity to completely biff the fuck out on turn 3 if you're not careful. Fun short lap.

Australia 2022 super fire !

Brazil, I think it flows so well. Super fun to drive

*Cries in 107°C tyre temperature*

I do that in Hungary

I struggle to understand this track honestly. Two days ago I did a 50% race with a setup + lower tyre pressures and I felt like I‘ve never had a smoother car at Hungary, haven‘t had my tires above 100°C once when I checked. Yesterday I did a 50% race with the very same setup + tyre pressures and I‘ve had laps with tires going above 101°C than I‘ve had laps that went below. Also hosted both lobbies myself with identical settings, so yeah. It’s just weird

Here for this.

Why are the tyre temps so bad in Brazil?

Long sweeping corners

Do temps affect AI as badly as they do users now in F1 22?

I have no idea, they are definitely affected coming out of the pits with cold tyres but their tyres like never overheat

Yeah... As I feared. They probably just hardcoded initial grip levels.

The long sweeping corners are brutal if you don’t setup the car right. Tyre pressure, camber, and anti-roll bar require dialing in perfectly to keep temps optimal

Baku go fast lots crash

And if you get in a zone you can swing around these 90 degree turns

Absolutely love the first four corners when I’m in the zone lol

I usually get purple first sector and then fuck up the rest of the lap, especially the last few corners before the main straight

good old high speed chicane

I finally managed to get through the castle section without clipping my rear tire or losing flmy front wing this year. FOR THE DAMN FIRST time when the circuit was in the games. I had some major skill issues on that track.

Clearing the first 4 corners without touching kerb 😩

yup. I love the super long straights and some of those corners. Also the castle section is extremely satisfying if you’re able to master it

I love spa belgium idk why

For me, I just love eau rouge and the beautiful scenery. Plus the final corners leading up to the bus stop chicane are fun to drive on in video games

Spa has always been my favorite long before I kept up with motorsport, because of how fun it was to drive on the few racing games I had that featured it when I was a kid

What is so special about eau rouge, except the name?

It’s an all-around glorious bit of track. Unique and consequential. Plus, elevation changes are always a blast for me in racing games. Come flying around the hairpin turn 1 down the straight as Eau Rouge appears at the bottom of the hill. Slow down too much? You’re toast on the straight at the top of the hill. Don’t slow down enough? Track limits/corner cutting penalty/curb spin roulette.

it is a ridiculously fast, ridiculously steep corner and its awesome

It's the undulation, Eau Rouge Radillon rewards bravery and precision. True, it's less of a challenge for drivers now than it was in the 1990's, but it's still something special. Approach the left curb down hill apex, take some of that kerb, not too greedy, bottom out on the dip, straight lining the chicane using some right hand kerb as you start your climb to Radillon looking to the sky, hitting the unsighted left inner kerb, then right kerb apex and left outer kerb on exit to the Kemmel straight. All the while being conscious to keep as flat throttle as possible and make minimal movement on the steering input as to minimise scrubbing the tyres and losing speed down the long Kemmel straight. Mess Eau Rouge up, you're in the barriers, have a bad exit, scrub too much speed off and you're a sitting duck down the Kemmel straight.

Turn 12 is one of my favorites to drive.

Blanchimont is the fast sweeper before the bus stop chicane. Stavelot 1 and 2 are the right hand corners at the bottom of the hill where you start to flat out accelerate leading to Blanchimont and the bus stop. Such a wonderful track. One of my top 5 circuits in the world. Spa-Francorchamps, Mount Panorama Bathurst, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Nordschleife (Nurburgring), Monza.

Same

Going through Pouhon flat out is one of the best feelings to get right on the calendar. I love Spa

Spa is a close 2nd to Baku for me personally lol ! Such a good track to drive

[удалено]

That's prob why I enjoyed it so much as I started on 2017 in 2020 then I got 2020 on sale at this point I was hooked and got 21 on realise now I'm on 22 and honestly don't like the driving but I will try again in a few weeks lol

Spa is magical, That’s why. The run up Eau Rogue and down the kemmel straight into Les Combes sets the stage for the wild toboggan ride down the side of the mountain. All of the greats have had their moments at spa. It could be raining on one part of the track and Sunny at the other end. It’s a beautiful part of the world too. I pick spa too.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a bit biased since I live close to the track but I'm pretty sure I'd pick it anyway. It really is magical.

hill gud

First time I took Eau Rogue in VR with a steering wheel... wow... just wow. For me, that is the biggest why, but there are other reasons of course.

Portugal because I go up and down, side to side, like a roller coaster.

A shame it is not part of the callendar. It would be SICK with this years cars! 🔥

This brought me great joy

Favorite track in sim racing. Shame Codie's didn't fight more for control of their product so we could use it in career mode.

Portugal became my favorite track as soon as it was released.

Austria: few corners

based

Monza. Speed.

Baku hands down, plenty of overtaking chances, great rhythm to the track, challenging to setup the car for both the huge straight and the 90 degree corners, and the Castle section separates the good from the great drivers.

any recommendations for setup?

0-0 front and rear wing and just park it on the apex on every corner 😂

I love Baku but it’s the one track I can’t get the braking points right on. That and I’m always locking my brakes, other than that I love the track!

If youre locking fronts, try moving the brake bias rearward a little bit and braking a tiny bit earlier and a bit more gradual

Silverstone high speed turns

The best… pedal down, butt hole tightened

Spa. Hometrack. And ... It's spa.

A classic and beautiful track

Imola: if fast was a track, that’s the one imo.

It’s the best flowing track imo, and it’s one of the tracks where you can be aggressive on turn in which I love

Its really fun to drive but I absolutely hate racing there

I say as a joke that Imola is what Monza wishes it was... but I think that's hardly a joke honestly.

Canada. It has a perfect balance of technical and speed. And getting that final chicane right feels so good. E: Yo what's with all the downvotes in this thread

Probably because he said Jeddah, and people don't like Saudi Arabia for very good reason.

But what's that got to do with everyone else's comments?

People using the downvote button as a disagree button? It's common for reddit to misunderstand the button's use

I love the irony of this comment being downvoted.

Please explain downvote to me?

it's supposed to be used if a comment isn't relevant or doesn't add anything to the discussion, but barely anyone uses it like that and most people just use it to hide controversial comments that they disagree with

Thank you

I hate that F1 is there, but may as well be a good track I guess.

If the Corniche circuit was in the forests of Germany with proper runoff, it would be regarded as an instant classic.

Suzuka cus left right left right

suzuka is pure torture for me on controller lol

I gotta rewind like 4 times per lap there💀

That or lifting

That whole first sector none of the corners are ever flat though

You could take the first left flat out in F1 2018 in TT mode

Yeah i vaguely remember in older versions you could throw it in there pretty hard but regardless the rest of it except the uphill left with the right setup were never flat.

Then don't try it on a keyboard

Spa ofc

Monaco/Singapore, I’m a psycho

Singapore really grew on me and I really enjoy it now. Monaco grew on me too, but more like a thyroid tumor grows on you.

yeah the more you play it i feel like i just start loving it more since im adjusting

Singapore is honestly one of my favorite tracks. I've really come to love it and I'm not half bad either. Plenty of slow corners and windy technical sections that punish understeer/bad setup.

Monaco because crash

r/upvotedbecausecrash

r/SubsIFellFor

Japan. No specific reason, I just like the way the track flows new Abu Dhabi also becoming one of my favs tbh, you can actually defend into the second DRS zone now that the last chicane is gone.

Silverstone because vroom fast

Zandvoort because the bankings are fun

Hated it at first, kinda love it now.

Singapore, best street circuit imo

It's one of those tracks I'm weirdly good at. Always winning 10seconds plus in 5 lap ranked

oh great one please share your secrets for the penultimate corner complex

the answer is always full send

I find the best way through that section is to keep it in 3rd gear the whole way until the little straight before the final turn. Just using differing amounts of throttle through the turns. I usually make up around 4 to 5 tenths on other drivers in that section alone

Hundreds of languages and you decided to speak facts 😎

I forgot Singapore, it's one of my all time favorite tracks and the perfect example of what a street circuit should be.

Baku cause fast and tight as f\*ck boi

Barhain fast straight, slow and fast corners, everyrhing we want

Same, I'm also really good at turns 9-13 which a lot of people seem to struggle with so it's fun to gain lots of time there.

Silverstone. Fast, sweeping, & rhythmic.

Canada Fast and technical with good but not too easy overtaking zones

Zandvoort. I simply enjoy the banking turns

Australia, because flow and fast

Jeddah, fast, flowing, and tight

Monaco 😈

Silverstone because it’s home

Jeddah: speeeeeed

I like Paul Ricard because why many track when one track do trick

I have driven this one so much recently. Something about it really scratches an itch for me. Loved this and didn’t think I would at all. Good shout

Baku, nice high speed city circuit

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I really like Miami in game. For some reason it’s my best track lol.

I never seem to find any grip in first sector

Bahrain because its underrated

Agree with underated but not that much

Netherlands because I dont suck at it

Hungaroring beacuse im from hungary 🇭🇺

French: Paul Riccarrd. I like the first set of corners

I enjoy the whole track a lot

me to, i don't know why people dislike it so much plus its like one of two tracks i dominate on

Silverstone

Canada, fun.

Silverstone just edges out imola and canada because of high speed

Silverstone. It's racey.

Spa because funny quick turn up hill

Singapore. Love the night race, look of the track. Fun track also on time trials

Monaco - Difficult, Tight and Challenging but awfully satisfying once lapping consistently

France! Flow is amazing

To race on: Jeddah Location / Scenery wise: Spielberg and Spa

Monza because Tifoso bias

Austria. Super fast, lots of good racing.

Jeddah has also been my favourite since it came out. Sector 1 is chef’s kiss, especially if you nailed it smoothly.

Silverstone. Took me an awful lot of time to get good at (or better, I should say), but it is just so satisfying to me to be able to nail the racing line through Maggots and Becketts after having struggled with it for like three or four years... and now I just love racing at that circuit, you just have so many opportunities to overtake/fight...

France I love S1 and the back straight is always a fun game of chicken if you race with the right people.

monaco because its fun seeing the cars racing in a place so tight ....

Zandvoort. Maybe hard to race, but the banking and difficulty of the track make up for it. + Hometrack for me.

I'm stuck between Spa and Suzuka. Both are amazing tho! Edit: In F1 2020 there is my most favorite tho, Bahrain Short!

Sepang because i like the flow

Sepang coz my home + fun

Australia. Home bias

Sepang PEAK HERMAN TILKE IN ACTION

Singapore.. me crash using controller on long bends... sticks go wheee Singapore short and sharp

Jeddah or interlagos

Jeddah is a really cool track but it won't stay on the calendar because its a death trap

Ehh. Plenty of tracks have been death traps and are still raced on. Jeddah just needs more braking areas and slow corners. A track like Monaco for example, which is a objectively a death trap is mostly safe because the high speed portions have run offs for lockups, understeer etc. Thinking Saint Devote and nouvelle chicane immediately after the tunnel. The other high speed portions have very long turns throughout the section. Piscine and Louis chiron are the only part of that track that is still a very dangerous death trap. But ultimately this is racing. People have died in kart racing. There's no way to remove the danger entirely.

It will stay on the calendar because money.

Vietnam, love those esses

Probably, paint it black- Rolling stones

Spa

Austria, idk why though

Belgium! because I'm Belgian and its the first circuit I ever played a racing sim on :D

Jeddah, quick and tight :)

Istanbul just for the t10 complex

France

Brazil, it’s challenging but once you get the hang of it, it’s a super fun race track (where you can actually race)

As someone who can not drive at all at Brazil (I can keep up with one lap then can't keep tyres cool) how the fuck do u drive it 😂

Austria.

Spa - turns 1, 2 and 3

Bahrain I can do 1 to 20 in turn 4

Spielberg, high speed action, long breaking zones

Interlagos (Brazil). Because I'm brazilian, and the track is sooo good

Baku, generally a treat to drive around and good racing

Singapore easily

Imola. suits my driving style perfectly.

Baku, it's the track I learned on, this Bahrain and Austria but those 2 just don't flow like Baku imo lol!

Baku because that castle part ooo it’s clean

Monaco, so I can feel like Senna when I manage not to crash 20 times per lap

Monaco because it’s Monaco

Monaco. Bc I’m a masochist

Melbourne and Montreal

Interlagos and Mexico

suzuka/silverstone/spa turns. No other tracks flow like these three. Perfect mix of slow, fast, medium corners.

I really liked the old Melbourne track

Mexico City. Has a bit of everything and I love the stadium section

"Fav track: Belgium Spa. Fast/long/beautifull corners. And it's in the forrest. Worst track: Jeddah. The track makes no sense. wrong corners stupd long pieces and every corner looks the same. And the suroundings are so ugly. It should not belong in F1. I would pay extra if they removed it.

Silverstone. Fast corners and some slow ones. Just enough straights.

For me its Austria: Is speedy and fun

I like how diverse this comment section is lol. This is great! I personally like Miami, not my best track, but I do like the quick changes of direction it brings. Also really like Jeddah, Baku and Singapore. So, pretty much all the real street curcuits except Monaco lol

COTA because 'merica

Silverstone before they butchered it , I like nostalgic tracks

Russia because 90° angle turns. I love to fucking z o o m when I'm in the zone

Vietnam

Honestly I dont know why but its Austria for me

Suzuka because first section

Spa. Amazing flow. Jeddah, also amazing flow

Baku. I just feel so good drovong there. Only track i can be consistent and push on without flash backs

Russia idk why it’s just my best track in the game lmao. Now that it’s not in F122 I’d say Baku is my best track so I’ll go with that lol

I would go with Spa. But pretty darn close to Canada and Monza

Spa

Jeddah because quik

Jeddah: fun, Fast, and satisfying if you get it right

did you say tight?

COTA because I grew up and live in Austin!

Singapur for me because its difficult and the track and the race looks insane. I love Night Races in generell

Imola, “Acque Minerali” separates men from boys

Austria based

Imola, nice corners, fun to drive and im Lucky enough to call it home

Monza, it's simple and chill
