Some my team hints and tips for the new people

Ok I actually posted this as a reply in another thread.  But I thought it warranted it’s own thread and will help save time searching you tube. 

Disclaimer…. These are not the Meta.  And they might not suit everyone. Plus these are mainly based on last years game and the so far limited knowledge I have on this years.  But they should still help get you going. 

My team car is a big fat draggy dog that’s trying to run on a polished floor. 

ERS Upgrades are about the only power upgrades worth doing.  Early in myteam.  More importantly weight reduction will give you Better handling, acceleration and top end speed.  

Also more  important than power upgrades.  Drag reduction upgrades.  Also downforce upgrades that have no negative effect on drag.  Drs upgrades  are only worth doing when you can keep up with the cars infront.  

in pre season interview.  Answer either all questions related to aero or chassis.  Then If say you answered all aero. Select chassis as your gold star option so you can quickly upgrade weight reduction.  And if you answer all chassis then pick aero as your gold star.  Then start off season in activates pick the aero/chassis option 

If you start your career and you have £1.5m starting cash if you build spec 1 activity  facilities in marketing.  Then select your 6 day activity but miss out the first day you will get a nice boost on that activity plus the following 8 day activity.  

Also pick Ferrari as it has best performance and will keep you in the top half off the power rankings for a while so you can concentrate on aero and chassis.   Also sign a cheap 2nd driver £600 000.  So you have alittle extra cash.  All your first my team career teammates in your car will be poor and will only fluke the occasional point. Your better off spending money on facilities 

I put in over 900 hours just into my team in 2021. And I tried every possible my team variation to death and this was the way.

More hints and tips a few posts down in this thread

    @Dan78loki @It’s no bother I’ve played 100s off  myteam careers. When I’m not experimenting if different starting options these are always my go to.  

    I know I said in press interview chassis or aero.  I generally answer aero as answering with chassis gives you 2 minor weight redistribution upgrades when you want to reduce weight not shift it around so adds little benefit until your car has lost weight. 


    so first question responsive turning. Adds front minor downforce but crucially no added drag.  Then answer new ways at looking at drag (or something) then slippery car.  

    then you want chassis to have gold star. First thing on day way off new career. Go to chassis and r&d weight reduction. Providing it passes it’ll be ready for Bahrain.  

    meta facilities.  Spec 1, gives you 2 research slots.  Spec 3 increased research time and spec 2 research quality/failure  as for resource facilities  whatever you works for you.

    I upgrade facilities as follows.  Spec 1 reduced time Spec 1 research slots then a quality. The. Spec 2 time spec 2 quality and spec 3 time.  All other facilities builds are waste of cash.

    Thanks @ScarDuck14 I always pick one of each, so in effect making a huge draggy dog + 1 :D I will try all chassis and aero for sure and set the ai about 90, even if I fail all the minigames.
