Interview With Lee Mather
Apologies if this has been posted in another thread already but this will probably be of interest to most: https://youtu.be/-sG5d_38fjU
Forum Discussion
The videos I've seen have all been commenting on the cars understeering rather than oversteering? Which did you have in mind? Maybe there's a distinction to be made re. low and high-speed corners.
@Ultrasonic_77 Well im sure its too much front end in low speed. Therefore the traction problems and higher low speed cornering speeds than IRL 2021..
Regarding the high speed might mostly be more fear on my part and the fact the preset setups are all understeery (stiffer front, more rear downforce).. but in general those setups shouldnt be oversteery at high speed from what i saw, just rarely and then possibly sharper setups..

Hi, this is an article maybe taken from the same interview:
Another lengthy video interview with Lee Mather out today below, with a few bits of new info. One bit I hadn't seen before is that pit stop mistakes can happen to take extra time and that in My Team you'll now be able to train mechanics to improve pit stop performance. Two less positive bits of info. are that crossplay will only be for social lobbies and 2-player career, and a strong implication that a Braking Point type element will be back next year ☹️.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Yeah for some reason all big review people claim that Braking Point is a big loss this year and missed by the fans.. They are probably gonna do this each year changing, one year Braking Point (2.0 then 3.0 etc.) will take the major time effort of the team and the next year the F1 Life updates will take the time😂
Saw a video from Alex Gillon talking to David Greco that you’ve probably seen by now (https://youtu.be/L7jwRa1oVFo), saying the cars were under-steery in general, but you could easily apply too much throttle on corner exit, causing over rotation - which I guess could be interpreted as over-steer? Technically not the same though.
- @Monzstar83 Well i saw the video dont remember him saying the current cars are understeery.. Also the setups suggest a very different base car.
When you have very understeery setups (which they got in F1 22) the base car cant be understeery.
What im trying to say is: Even the most oversteery car in the game will be understeery with a certain setup- @Meza994 Good point 👍🏽. Alex mentions it around the 1:45 mark in the video, although I’ve also seen others (Aarva et al) making similar comments. It’ll be interesting to see how the cars behave when we get our hands on it. I think with the wings now being 1-50 across the board on all tracks, we’ll have some more flexibility to tailor the aero balance of the car to our liking that we might have had previously.
