Don't include that straight-line speed reduction in the DLC. Just change the teams and drivers and remove DRS. That speed reduction is awful.
The FIA announced the changes to the 2026 regulations a few hours ago. I'm just curious for everybody's reaction who plays the F1 games. I'm relieved that FIA decided to make changes. I realize that my dream of non-hybrid V8s and bringing back DRS probably isn't going to happen, but I can learn to live with these modifications. I was worried they would double down and spend the next few years smearing Verstappen and other critics.
p.s. To clarify, I still have some distrust of the FIA right now because they ignored all the people that warned the Bearman crash would happen. Also, I think we all need to show some patience with EA and Codemasters right now because the FIA has made it really hard to develop the 26 DLC and the 27 full game.
I think the changes will help the visual experience (and improve safety) as cars are less likely to run out of energy. However, it doesn't resolve the underlying issue that these cars are pretty tame, and drivers are rarely required to push to the limit.
Fully agree. Unfortunately, the FIA cares more about attracting as many engine manufacturers as possible so we are probably stuck with 50% electric power units at least until the 2040s. Please correct if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that if they went back to non-hybrid engines then the teams would probably only have 2 to 3 options for power units. I think this would create a more competitive season and would help grow the sport even faster via Drive to Survive on Netflix. Non-hybrid engines would lower the cost of running a team and make it more affordable for the growing number of super-rich people in the world.
