how to remove ice on kerb option

Nope, you can walk on them barefoot in the wet no problem. Going full beans on a 1000HP+ machine in a funny angle and steering lock, that's a different story.

Kerbs do not provide the same grip as tarmac. Even less so than rubberized tarmac on race day. Your flip-flop stickied to it if it is hot enough.

Edit: Just so that it doesn't fly over people's head. It is the grip difference between the tarmac in a fast track (as in opposition to a green track) under the full load of a F1 car's downforce capability and the kerbs that is the issue.

You'll see lap times improving just for the extra rubber from FP3 to Q3. That's when these machines are at their best. Going from that special surface to a kerb, grass or painted strip pretty much always makes a difference. It is up to the driver's skill to handle the car in such a way that when the sudden drop of grip happens, its effects do not hurt their trajectory and line.

You do that with your inputs.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the differential? @mariohomoh will correct me if I'm wrong but presumably unlocking the diff. should make the car a little more forgiving re. spinning on kerbs.

Like many I guess I was driving round Zandvoort yesterday, for the first time in a long while. It took a few spins to retrain myself not to be a muppet and accelerate on the kerb exiting turn 4!

hello, can someone tell me how to remove ice on kerb option please ?

cause I don't understand why I can't reaccelerate on kerb

Stop driving over them under acceleration, especially the higher ones, and angled ones. Flat ones you should be ok with still.   Staying off of them though will likely solve your problems.

It would definitely be nice if they could decide whether they are drivable or autospins and not change their mind from year to year of the game.

Do you think its particularly different to last year? I've not driven all tracks yet but can't say I've noticed an obvious difference myself. And like last year I generally think it's more realistic that we have to be careful about how we handle kerbs too.

@Ultrasonic_77Particularly? Nope. And I'd say the "bulk" of the modest difference actually comes from the handling characteristics of the car (torque and traction specially) rather than any changes to the kerbs parameters.

just finished watching zandvoort q irl, I can say kerbs physic is unreal, irl f1 cars put throttle on all kerbs possible while in game is impossibile you spin everytime, need a fix absolutely
furthermore just finished zandvoort in game and after cinematic pit stop my car went inito box and the I found my car in the middle of finsh straight stopped lol 🤔

And irl those kerbs are being driven over by Elite drivers who get the use off their Elite bottoms feel how much grip they have

Was it really that different? I can't quickly find a good example for today but below is last year's pole lap and other than I guess turn 4 Max's lap doesn't look wildly different to in-game to me. It  must be phenomenally hard for the game to be exactly the same as real life too.
