2025 Special Livery Feature
The F1 games have always featured special events where you can either unlock special liveries from the current season, 2023 had the likes of the special Ferrari Las Vegas livery, The 2023 RB Miami livery, The McLaren Triple Crown livery and so on and so forth. F1 2024 didn't feature much, maybe one or two from either McLaren and maybe another manufacturer, however with the current season of F1, I feel that there's some really special liveries that stand out in a big way, regardless if you're a fan of the particular team or not, for example, this year we got probably one of the most iconic liveries from Red Bull with the Japan race with the white and red livery, which paid tribute to Honda by sporting a design inspired by the RA272, which gave the engine manufacturer its inaugural win back in 1965. (pictured below) We've also seen McLaren sporting their Monaco livery a week or two ago (pictured below) and we've also seen Haas with their Japan livery (pictured below) My point is that I feel that EA should consider adding a function for whenever you create a grand prix, maybe career or whatever mode allows you to race the official F1 cars and underneath where you select the team / car to race in, adding a "Toggle Special Livery" option which allows you to switch between the special liveries that manufacturer has released during the season. For example and pictured below, this function could simply be added beside the advance option, I'm on console so my advance option is A but there could be an option beside this that switches the liveries of that manufacturer, maybe the X button or whatever corresponding button or key bind you have on your platform of choice (mock up pictured below) I also feel that considering that for other titles such as Assetto Corsa, a team of people or even one person can create a livery as soon as it's revealed in real life and released to the public for free or an optional donation to the creator for their hard work. Pictured below is both this seasons Red Bull Japan Livery and McLaren's Monaco livery for Assetto Corsa. Now, it's understandable that when it comes to certain sponsors, maybe EA can't acquire certain licencing deals and it's understandable that in EA Sports F1 games, they don't feature any alcohol or gambling sponsors as that would then make the game rated for 18's or above and EA want to cater to all age groups and casual audiences, however I feel that requesting a function like this should be a simple enough ask for the fans of the series and of the sport who want to race around tracks with their favourite liveries throughout the season. And before it's mentioned or even considered, this shouldn't be a function or additional content that we seen back in F1 2023 where we could only use the Ferrari Las Vegas livery for roughly a week or two and then the car reverted back to it's default livery, no, this is an update that adds a functionality to simply toggle liveries at your discretion so that we can race in our favourite liveries now and into the future, for as long as the game is active. So please EA or any devs or community managers reading this post, please consider this feature as liveries such as the above have already released prior to the games launch so it feels that even with the current roadmap or plans ahead, these liveries might be missed. Please also share you own thoughts below and upvote this as much you can if you feel that you agree with this idea for a future update or near soon update!
Saturday Racing League EU/Na Welcome
Hey guys! TTR is a league run by well me! Our series right now GRL runs at 12pm est which is 5pm for our British friends. We format this series differently all the time but currently we have 4 academies Mclaren/Haas, Redbull/RB, Mercedes/Alpine, and Ferrari/ Williams!

As you can probably infer this is a realistic series. This league is built on cleanliness and community. ALL SPEEDS WELCOME! To start driving in TTR you will need to pass a quick trial race but other than that we just need you! Heres an invite and we hope to see you all soon! https://discord.gg/xGMkWkGYNEO Racing League - Recruiting reserve drivers & staff for Season 5!

The AI is very slow in free practice. Playing on the same difficulty as qualifying, I noticed that they set very high times in free practice; the last-place driver is almost 4 seconds behind the leader, while I'm the fastest, more than 0.5 seconds behind second place. And in qualifying, I'm between eighth and tenth. My teammate is 1.5 seconds slower than me in free practice, and we're almost tied in qualifying. I believe that only the teams' performance update can fix this. This game is broken2 player Career mode Unplayable!
We are extremely disappointed and frustrated with the current state of the game, particularly Career Mode. After spending $75, we expected a functional and engaging experience—but two months post-release, things have only gotten worse. Major Issues Encountered: Unplayable Two-Player Career Mode Since the latest update, we are completely unable to load into two-player Career Mode. The driver stats screen becomes stuck with no way to proceed. This bug makes the entire mode unplayable and is unacceptable given the time since release. AI Performance Unrealism In the second season, the AI receives massive, unrealistic upgrades. This completely breaks immersion and ruins competitive balance. The jump in vehicle performance makes it feel like we are racing against a different class of cars. Starting Grid Bug On several occasions, despite qualifying P1 and P2, the game randomly places us at the back of the grid when the race starts. This completely undermines the time and effort we put into qualifying and ruins the race experience. Overall Experience: This has been incredibly disheartening. We waited months for fixes, but with every new update, new issues seem to arise while major problems persist. It feels like player feedback is not being taken seriously, and Career Mode—the heart of the game for many of us—is broken. We urge you to: Prioritize a fix for the two-player Career Mode loading issue. Rebalance AI performance progression between seasons. Investigate and fix the qualifying-to-grid bug immediately.Cost cap
Hello, Why is it that if I end a season strong, smartly managing my money, avoid reckless spending, and carry over a healthy reserve, I'm penalized for it? How does that make sense under any accounting system, real-world or simulated? If I enter the new season with, say, $85–100M in the bank, the game counts that entire amount as if it’s been spent for cost cap purposes. Which means I’ve already “used up” most of my $135M cap without spending a dollar. How is that even remotely logical? That’s not how a cost cap works in Formula 1, or in any business for that matter. In the real F1, the cost cap is based on expenditures, not cash reserves. Meaning that a team can have $500 million in the bank, and it’s completely irrelevant unless they actually spend it on regulated activities. The FIA doesn’t fine teams for having money. They fine them for how they use it. Which means EA should apply just a basic amount of accounting logic to this game. It punishes players for smart financial management. It forces you to dump cash for no reason, which isn’t intuitive or explained anywhere. And it flat-out breaks immersion when your championship-winning team is told it can’t spend what it earned without violating an artificial limit.Too frequent boxing problems in career mode
Dear EA team, it's already hard enough to keep up in the second season in Myteam mode as the AI continues to develop its car like crazy. The patch should now remedy this, good! But please start making mistakes far too often at the pit stop. I've already made the necessary improvements during development and still there's an error when removing the wheels at every 5th pit stop. Honestly, that's just far too often the case and it's so frustrating when I drive into the pits in P2 with a mega inferior car on 102 AI and then drive out in P5 again because of this mistake. The rate is around 20%, which is far too high. In real Formula 1, the teams have maybe 2-3 mistakes in the season, so in every 10 races if at all. Here it's every 5 races or even more. Please adjust this, because it's frustrating to the max.NEO Racing League - Recruiting reserve drivers & staff for Season 5!

This game is almost impossible to complete a full race on controller without the force feedback suddenly disappearing. The car goes light and you have no feeling for the circuit underneath you and the only fix is to pause the game and it comes back but then it disappears again a few corners later. It’s literally impossible to drive with decent pace when you don’t know what the cars doing cos there’s no feeling at all.
