esports drivers say the updated handling is a step back
i totally agree. front end is still too sharp and unrealistically too fast.
Forum Discussion
@JurassicStark6 It crushed me when I drove the updated handling.
They reverted basically everything. The braking was amazing but even that was reverted. I've been league racing in F1 since F1 2020 and I've put up with bad handling models before but having a good handling model only for it to be taken away has completely killed my desire to even keep playing this game.
If this is the handling model we're gonna be stuck with then I think I'm just gonna drop out of my leagues and call it quits for F1.

This is only the beginning crybabies like Alex Gillon are pushing for more changes to be made
- @JurassicStark6 Idk why they ever thought his opinion was of value. He's never driven an F1 car before in his life. If they consulted with Max for the handling and he said it was realistic then that's what they should've stuck with and anyone who didn't like it could cry about it. Realism should be the number 1 goal and it shouldn't be sacrificed to cater to people who apparently have no idea how fast these cars actually are.
- @shery_a_coleslaw The changes - and it werent many - were not made to make the cars slower - in fact they barely got slower on a select few tracks..
Sliding through corners and being faster that way - unrealistic
some weird midcorner oversteer in low speed corners? unrealistic
Were the changes perfect? Far from it, do some esports drivers also say it improved things and people shouldnt try the same super egdy setups with the new handling? Yes some do
Its all not as easy as there were MANY complains of Esports drivers, drivers that had IRL experience with racing cars, so they had to change things.- @Meza994 I think everyone universally agrees that there were some issues they needed to address in the release version but to say that this update didn't make the cars slower is a factually inaccurate statement. Compare the TT times now after the wipe to what people were doing before the patch and you'll see it's slower everywhere.
That's esports people though who may have been abusing the goofy turn in from the previous handling but I noticed the change myself too and I wasn't driving the car in an abusive way pre patch.
For me personally I'm at least 1 second slower across the board and I attribute most of that difference to the reduction in feedback from the car. I can't feel what the car is doing like I could before which means I can't put it on the edge as easily which means I can't really push the car.
It feels like I'm driving a car floating above the track not a car that's actually on the track with all the suspension kinematics that they hyped up. I could 100% feel the new suspension system making a difference before the patch so something they've done has effectively muted this.
Couldn't agree more with these quotes what is the chances it will go back to the the release handling
We have to be loud enough together so we can make them hear us over here. I wont sit down and see a Good game going down like this
- @JurassicStark6 The kicker too is that now they REALLY do need to make changes. This is so much worse and the league racing community is already struggling. F1 22 almost killed the community and another year of a handling model that isn't fun to drive might be the final nail in the coffin for what was once a vibrant and thriving community in which I made several IRL friends.
