ERS - Qualifying

When I do Qualifying on grand prix (no career) I cant turn my "overtake" off. 

"overtake" is always activated, which results in my battery being drained to 50% when I start my fast lap. And its completely drained after that fast lap so I cant do 2 runs.

I got no assists and every helping setting is turned off. I want to control my overtake button during qualifying because when I abort a flying lap, I dont want to use my battery so I have some power left in the next lap.

Please note this is during a Solo Grand Prix ( No career ).

Maybe in career mode its differen?

  • In qualifying, you can only be in 'hotlap' or 'off' ERS mode, which you change via the MFD. It's the bottom line of the first page when you open it.

    Just remember to turn it back on again before the last few corners of your outlap!

    Hello Rephii,

    Thanks for your answer, I had no Idea I had to find it in the MFD. I would assume it would work the same as in a race, but apparently it doesnt.

    I usually dont use the MFD because I need my eyes on the road lol.

    Will test it tonight but I think "problem" is solved then! 🙂

    Hey @EA_rephii , it is indeed working with the MFD during qualifying.

    So sorry, I thought it would work like in the race.

    Problem solved!

    Hey @Run4lf,

    glad to hear that you found the option for that 🙂 

    For qualifying sessions, the ERS is only changeable via the MFD from Hotlap to OFF. In a race or in a training session, you will be able to just press or hold the button for using the ERS 👍

    Thanks for giving us the update, and I wish you lots of fun with the game!
