Unless anyone here has actually driven an F1 car, it's hard to say what is realistic, but going off some experience driving some high performance sports cars and 10 years of Sim racing, I'm a little surprised how easy the traction feels in F1 23 with full no-assists.
The handling model has been highly praised by reviewers, but I do wonder if today's generation of gamers just prefer an easy ride rather than having to work for something.
F1 22 did admittedly feel a little random with grip levels, but i feel like 23 has swung right to the other end of the spectrum with many corners that you had to modulate the throttle and balance traction in 22 being completely flat in 23.
Maggots & Becketts is almost completely flat now, which is a little disappointing! I feel like much of the challenge has been removed.
- cearp88582 years agoRising Hotshot@SDGMatt You have had lando norris say that real f1 cars were easier to drive than the f1 games were and that using medium traction control was more realistic, this was said i believe during covid lockdowns when all you had a few drivers playing he game alot
Just because the game is “easy” doesnt mean it is wrong.
Iracing version of the w13 drives somewhat similar to how f1 23 drives in terms of traction and more realistic gear selection for corners.
As David Greco has also said it might be easy to drive but is it easy to go fast? Esports drivers will always be a lot faster than me i did a 1:12.2 at spain in tt with a lap i felt was really good and i check the leaderboard to see esports guys doing 1:10’s 😂- Darthsausage442 years agoRising Veteran
Can’t comment on more ralistic having not driven a real f1 car but as others have said those that should know say it is so happy with that. What I can comment on is It’s more enjoyable. and that’s ok with me. If it’s too easy turn up your distance, AI level, failure and damage settings. If it’s too easy maxed out then I’d say you’d be better off with i racing or some such
It is easier than 22 in some respects so I’ve turned my ai up by 10 for this years game.
