Assits Dlc 2026

Hello everyone and the Codemasters team,

There is definitely still a massive difference in tire wear between controller and wheel players in this 2026 DLC.

I understand that assists need to exist in racing games, but right now they are far too powerful and give an excessive advantage to players using them. In this 2026 DLC, managing acceleration and braking points without ABS is much harder. When facing a driver with assists, it’s almost impossible to compete: they never slide and can floor the throttle before even exiting the corner. I already felt that assists were overpowered in F1 24 and F1 25, but now the gap is even wider. In the leagues where we welcome everyone—regardless of whether they use assists or not—this is creating a massive skill gap.

Please, test the game on a controller without any assists, and you will see that the tire wear is massive. My friends and I have tried tweaking car setups and in-game settings, but it makes almost no difference.
I am losing hope for the franchise because, with every update, very few fixes are actually made to address this
