I'm worried about DLC 26. Real drivers talk about increased wear on the rear of oversteering cars and it will be important to manage the recharge. If you update in theory as usual, do you copy and paste 25 except cars and a few things or do you also make some small changes to the physics? Who knows, I have many doubts.
Past experience has shown us that it will be copied and pasted. The base game will be F1 2025 with the F1 car design from 2026. We shouldn't expect too much for 2026. After all, it's an EA product.
As 26 is being released on DLC I do feel it will be copy and paste and that should show in the price when it comes out. In all honesty if the price is fair for what they are going to release i would take that on the chin for one more year an they put all resources into 27 with a new game engine which is desperately needed to move on from this bug ridden game. EGO 4 as been stretched to its limits and probably why ps4 was removed from this years game.
im expecting around £25 for the DLC if we compare how much GT7 charged for their DLC
in our community we have appointed the bugmaster company at every online race or track there is a bug either new or old absurd
Given the first round of testing at Bahrain - from what many of the drivers are saying - it seems that the key to fast laps is managing the recharge - more so than turns/cornering.
Alonso was quoted as saying "Now you don't have to take risks as a driver, it's about having more energy, because we all use it on straights and when cornering we don't want to waste it. So, this means that we go quite slowly when cornering, while then on the straight we have all the energy available. But going slowly when cornering, the driver's main function, which is to risk everything when cornering, is a bit dying. You don't do much when cornering now.”
He went on to say “This is an F1 without risks, the driver’s role is dying.”
I hope this is not where things are at after the new regulations.
Well Verstappen called it "Formula E on steroids" and Andrea Stella made a comment about how difficult it would be to overtake so I'm also a bit skeptical about the quality of racing were going to see this year.
Also there was a test race start with a few of the cars at the end of the third session - where many didn't move after the red lights went out. Not sure what caused that - the announcers were talking about the amount revs needed and the time needed to rev up to be able to have a successful launch given the new elements of the engine/electrical configuration.
This is probably the best I've seen it described, without getting overly technical.
Until the car is over 50km/h it cannot deploy any of its electrical boost, meaning the initial getaway is reliant entirely on the V6 turbo engine.
Under the previous set of regulations an element of the power unit's hybrid system, known as the MGU-H, was used to spool the turbo to provide the optimum boost pressure for the start, but the MGU-H was removed as part of the changes to the power unit this year.
As a result, the V6 engine now needs to be revved to build up turbo boost pressure and minimize a common phenomenon in turbocharged engines known as turbo-lag.
