Qualifying Practice Program to Difficult?
I had already noticed it in F1 2022 but can it be that also in 2023 the training program of the qualifying round is much too difficult? The other programs are no problem for me but Quali is very extr...

@Hennes17121987 The further I’ve gotten into my season I’ve noticed there’s some tracks like Montreal and Las Vegas where I had no problem completing the Qualifying program but Bahrain, Baku, and Monaco were way off. For P1 I always set the AI 50 to easily pass the programs and normally qualify and race in the 80-90 range. At Baku on 50 I was off by 0.755 but I passed the Race Program by 3.5-4 seconds.
I only just started My Team yesterday and also noticed that the qualifying program is obviously broken (which also means that the devs haven't beta-tested this, because oh boy is this obvious). I did a really decent lap and was 3 seconds off target. So I've basically experienced what you guys have experienced as well. Luckily, we can always finish the programm in quick practice, but that's only a workaround for something that is broken.
- @EyTschej The only way is to drop the difficulty settings specifically for practice, that's what I did the last couple of years. 100% is the usual sweet spot for me except for a few tracks (such as Monaco), if I couldn't beat the time in fp1, I waited to try it again in fp2 or 3 where the track seems to have more grip from track evolution.
Honestly speaking is not a solution, but I feel my team progression is lightspeed fast I can get from the worst car (no comment on all interviews starting as the worst team 460 performance) to the best car overall 750-800 in 1 year (23 races, slightly more than one year if I play 16)
That made me invent the rule of completing only one practice program per race week (to get less bonus). I could then easily skip the qualification program (that is bugged and impossible). My goal was to get the best car after 4-5 years, as I like to fight for the middle position quite a lot. To achieve it, after a few tests, I found out I had to use all player stuff (RD - money - team xp - player xp) to reduce.
My rule so far is to enjoy MY TEAM.
- Interview - No comment to all
(starting performance between +/-460 as reference RedBull 1st performance 615-620)
- Difficult level 75
- Only complete one program per practice weekend
(you can select it strategically; I usually tend to do the one with the most Aerodynamic or Chassis, obviously not Qualif. practice)
- RD player - Reduced
- Money player - Reduced
- Xp player - Reduced
- XP Team - ReducedCompleted 1st season - performance level lower half (slightly better than the start. Actually, the first year is the hardest as you get less money because you have fewer adv., and with lower XP you don't get team lvl 15 that quickly)
Completed 2nd season - performance level top half (things start speeding up)
I am playing 3rd season and in the top 4 performance. By the end, I think I will be 2nd or maybe already 1st but by the end of the year, probably.
In the fourth season, I suspect I will get leadership, maybe not win them all because I sux at some tracks.
The fifth season is the last one. I think there is no really any reason to keep going. You practically dominate for me usually, it is the last season end of the game.
Then I will start again, this time with an entire realistic weekend (the first time I use 5 day race), and maybe bump one the difficulty to 79. This will take me busy for probably 1-2 months, but I will go down to 16 races per calendar. I feel 23 is a bit much. There are some circuits that I don't like at all, and it feels a little draggy.
Yeah, it is too difficult and has been for some time. I just started a season in MyTeam, AI 105, car ranked 10 in development for Bahrain. Qualy practice programme wants a 1:28.2 for 17th place. In Q1, a 1:28.2 is good enough for P1. P1 time is 1:30.something… Go figure…
