I notice the F1 esports tab is not present in F1 22. Is the series finished? Is Jarno, Marcel, Brendon etc out of work? Maybe it was a flop. Anyone got any info?.EDIT: I thank the Gods of Death and Life for this respite, even it is to be only temporary.

Talk about a competitive advantage Sadly FG44141, In my opinion, there is no competitive edge because there is no competition. Same old faces all the time. We pay, they play. We buy the game, they get it free.We buy the Fanatec products, they get them free.We watch F1 eSports, they hit us with advertisements.If they have an issue with the game, its immediately addressed whilst others get left in the lurch.Hopefully EA can put their heel on this nonsense, Codemasters certainly did not.It fills me with much joy and hope to see the F1 eSports scam tab removed from the game. May it never darken our tabs again. If that eSports tab was removed to make way for thenew F1 life tab, I truly feel we got a great deal.Reason for edit: To remove repeated word.Why the bitterness towards e-sports drivers?It's always the same drivers because they're the best at the game. Kinda like real F1. Teams want the best exposure possible, and you don't get that by hiring someone who's 0.3 seconds off the pace, an absolute mile in e-sports terms.And there is a lot of competition, literally anyone can qualify if good enough.I agree with the different builds - we are treated like 2nd class citizens whilst paying for the game. We are the reason they have a game to sell in the first place, so, if anything, we should get it first.This year has proven that the beta was a good thing - I'm sure EA strolled in with arrogance and said "Right, here's how it's gonna be, no beta!", and assumed everything will be just fine. Basically, paying customers have become the beta testers. There are bugs every year, but this year is next level.

I wouldnt race him ever in collisions on, collisions would be off and distance would be 100%. We could do the best out of 7 in one day. Deliver this to your "champ". Dear Jarno.I'm racing with a broken controller aka the Gripper.I use ABS.I use AUTO GEARS. I use BRAKE ASSIST, not the low, not the med, the HIGH. What is it you said in Mexico 2020 in your assists test. First corner, "oh this is so SLOW!!!" Taken all of the above into account, At this time I am approx 2 secs of your pace be it TT pace or Race pace.If I had similar equipment, do you think I'd beat you?I can't afford a wheel. I'm poor. You seem to have loads of them lying around the place gathering dust. If not, Marcel has at least a dozen, and as for JD he would have an infinite number of them. I await your correspondence.Yours sincerelyWang Tiger Sounds like you should have spent your money on a new controller rather than a new game...I also think you're kidding yourself if you think you could trivially beat Jarno on the no assist version of the game if you had a wheel. If he were easy to beat then others would be doing just that.Louis Welch is a top controller player if you want a target to compare to if you get a working controller and switch the assists off.

Going to lock this thread as it is just going around in circles and adding nothing to the overall discussion. Darko

@ALittleTiger7 Lol, dunno. But i didnt have the same experience watching on my iPhone.

@BadMayh3m I seen the PSGL COTA. Jarno was much better, much more steady. Bari B is racking up good points. Would you enter the esports yourself if you got selected?

@ALittleTiger7 and that is how Fanatec sells their products, the belief that we'd be just as good if we had their STUFF.
And it works you cant buy their products cause they're ALL sold out except the most expensive.
Jarno IS the top dog and the one to beat and imo only Freddy R really stands a chance.

Hello again @BadMayh3m,
I watched Jarno in some youtube vids. In his career in Canada he is oversteering on the exits. He is correcting it a lot. He is not comfortable. He is at the game since June, he hasn't got it down yet. He is finding it hard to get the throttle application correct exiting slow and fast corners.
Brendon Leigh seems in good control.
Lucas Blakely has gas in the tank. From what I witnessed I see him has the main threat to Jarno, not unless Jarno is sandbagging his true performance.

The pressure must be immense on them.

Imagine sitting on your bum all day getting paid to play your favourite game.

@ALittleTiger7 Jarno won the PSGL race Wednesday and on his youtube channel he gives his Comments on his race and he says he is not up to speed.
The top guys are doing PSGL this season to help prepare for Esports......its on YouTube for those who dont know.

Esports will still happen, I believe the Pro Championship is in September of this year. I'd assume with the last patch before esports they'll re-add the tab given it's not really needed at this moment.
If you wanna keep up with esports I believe they have a website so look that up 🙂

Maybe you're right aidf1her, it might come later but it was present at launch in 21 and 20. Why remove it only to add it later?
To be honest, I wont really miss it. The F1 esports is just the same old faces all the time. There is people faster than them but they never get in.
I wouldn't go as far to say its corrupt, certainly not without proof, but I'd be highly suspicious. Suspicion is not an allegation, its an instinct.

@ALittleTiger7 1st off I'm very slow!
I'm also a big fan of not wasting talent.
If a person has the ability why not try is my thinking. If nothing else at least there would be no regets.

There'll be some new drivers, would be a crime should Thomas Ronhaar, Jake Benham or Tomek don't show up at any point even if as a 3rd driver

What stuff have you got? Pad, wheel, flight stick, fight stick, etc?
What time have you in BahrainTT? Are you PC, PS4 or XBOX? You might have the talent. What AI are you running on?

In TT modes the esports crew are slow. There is others much faster but yet they cant pass these challenger series.
If anyone says race pace is different than a one hotlap TT then I will not be conversing with that person in regards to that topic.
