Elimination mode is a good idea with bad execution

Qualifying is extremely needed. If you get put near the back of the grid there’s a massive chance you get caught up in some incident where you aren’t to blame and by the time you get past the crashes the guy in first will be over 5 seconds in front of you by lap 1 if they are any good. You end up having to overtake multiple cars whilst trying to close a 5-10 second gap to first place within 7-9 laps. You also can lose a lot of time overtaking cars so it just gives the people with a good starting position a bigger advantage. 

The only way it should be no qualifying is if collisions are turned off.

It should be on strict corner cutting because people cut or extremely extend corners on the exits to get a position to not be eliminated. If someone somehow gets 3 warnings just make them get instantly eliminated instead having them have a time penalty 

Having setups on fixed makes zero sense because you give people 30 seconds on the grid to ready up so let people put on their setups during that 30 seconds

  • Seems like how you ended the previous elimination race determines where you start in the next one.  The couple of times I finished 2nd I started there for the next race.  All others I was down around 18th after being caught up in the carnage of the previous race.

    Elimination is an apt description for it though, as it's not just the clock that can eliminate you. The impending eliminations seems to compel drivers to madness, but perhaps that was the intent.  After a couple of races I ended up accidentally tapping the backend of the car in front and spinning them out and then thinking to myself: I guess that's how we play this mode.

    As it is it can be fun for a while but I don't see a future in it without some way of discouraging the carnage.

    Elimination mode needs a few tweaks such as:

    A driver causes an accident should be eliminated

    A driver goes off the track or corner cuts more than three times gets eliminated

    This whole idea should be eliminated

    While we are on the subject

    Supercars should be eliminated

    Just my thoughts......

  • They are trying to make it interesting with new content but it ends up in demolition derby ☹️

    I agree with @Antic3 , this should be eliminated, it's not part of F1.

    If they want to introduce something, let's try quali format from Formula E.

    I played this mode when it first came out and thought that’s broken, I’ll wait until they fix it. Tried it again tonight and now after reading this realise it was never broken. LOL.
