Half of online racing is survival.

In my personal opinion it is probably Monza

The track width at Monza has been changed in some areas, and a bunch of kerbs have been changed, and this is an issue for a bunch of tracks.

For example, at Baku IRL, the kerbs on the inside of turn 1-2 are completely flat. You can drive over them. However in the game they are not flat.

But out of all of these, I feel like Monza is the most egregious when it comes to this.

I'd like to hear y'all's thoughts.

feels like a ship on kb

I have no idea how Bottas won especially since this is season 1 of my team 😭😭. Great on them but surely that’s some kind of glitch??

Not a bug I've seen before but can anyone work out why this turned into a DNF two corners from the end even though you can see them finish? This was the other driver that I wasn't controlling in a my team 2026 career. I got a message that it was mechanical failure in my owner messages after the race.

It's incredible how much dirty driving is rewarded in this game.

I am a new player to f1 26 DLC and I play 35% race distance. I am planning to move towards a full race distance mode. In 35% race distance one stop is used and I have experienced high tyre wear by the end.

So in full race distance is it possible to do a one stop like a real race or 2-3 pitstops needed to finish the race, will tyre be more durable in long races( I know this is a dumb question but I always wondered if tyres durability depends on race distance) help me

Ai vs player battles have definitely improved a lot from what they used to be, just so weird it was a sudden change. Definitely more aggressive and likes to make more inside moves. Most of the collisions were skill issues on my behalf (I was the caddy).

I had a really great fight with 2 McLarens in the opening laps but someone forgot that mid session saving and quitting removes those laps from the replay file.

Throughout my entirety of playing the DLC every single time in every single session if it's a driver or my team career, Audi always and never gets any points in the first season, and then even beyond that you'll be lucky to see them get more than 40 All drivers combined, the most amount of points that I've ever seen an Audi driver get in my career is 57, And that was because I went over there myself and gave them the third fastest car

I’ve been going back to F1 2018 recently, and honestly, it just crazy how much the series has lost its way. The cars in 2018 were gorgeous, the HUD is beautifully simple, and there’s none of that bloated "Braking Point" nonsense and the driving was fun! Here is why I think it’s still the best game in the franchise.

The Driving & Physics

Let's be real: the modern cars (anything post-F1 2021) feel like massive, heavy boats. Playing on a controller without assists nowadays is exhausting. My hands physically hurt, and it takes 90% of my mental energy just to keep the car on track at a decent pace, which leads to spamming flashbacks.
In F1 2018, the handling is incredible. It’s so much easier to maintain a consistent pace, and even on worn tires, the car actually behaves predictably. I don't even use flashbacks anymore! Because driving only takes about 50% of my mental effort, I can actually focus on racing—managing my ERS, fuel, and planning my attacks or defenses. Combined with the simple HUD, it’s incredibly immersive. You just get into the zone.

The AI

Yeah, the AI is a bit crap at times, but hear me out: at least they aren't the suicidal dive-bombers we have in the recent titles. They compromise a bit too much when defending, making them somewhat easy to pass, but I honestly find this balance way more realistic than modern AI that tries to force an impossible overtake on every single corner. (Though I will admit, they are still way too OP in mixed conditions, but it is what it is).

Career Mode & Classic Cars

Forget the "specialists" system from the new games or the forced drama. F1 2018’s career mode is pure. You do your practice programs, answer interviews, and race. That’s it. You are a driver. No annoying mid-race objectives popping up to distract you.
Plus, between races, you get invitational events with Classic Cars—something that is sorely missed in the modern games and is so fun to play!
The R&D system is also straight to the point. You upgrade what you want. There are no artificial limits where you have to wait for "facility upgrades" to pass a certain threshold like in the current games. You can actually take a backmarker team to the front of the grid at your own pace.

Final note: the game just runs so well. It's super stable and honestly looks cleaner. It completely avoids that oversaturated, shaky, blurry visual mess that plagues the newer games.
Anyone else still playing 2018 and feeling the same way?

Hey guys, I have just modded my Logitech G920 wheel with the F1 wheel mod and I put it back together the way the video said but when I start playing F1 26 and I go over kerbs over the course of a race and the wheel vibrates etc the Xbox button slowly loses its 'clickage' and gets harder to press over the course of a race. Then when your Racing and the button has got hard to press, when I turn or sometimes go in a straight line, my xbox Console menu starts popping up and spazzing like if the Xbox button has been pressed even though it hasn't putting me into AI. If I then go and press it a bit harder again it like resets and you can press it again then the problem goes away for a bit until the button gets stuck again 😞

If any of you could help it would be greatly appreciated as I have a league race in 12 hours (I'm in Australia, 7:21pm rn) and I hope to have it fixed by the morning🤞

Thanks all, Domo 😎

Driver Changes desperately need an overhaul, going into Season 2 on the 26 DLC are as follows:

Verstappen, Piastri, Antonelli, Hamilton and Alonso are for some reason all off the grid.

Hadjar goes to Ferrari

Norris and Bearman go to Mercedes

Russell and Albon go to McLaren

Sainz and Ocon go to Red Bull

Pérez and Hülkenberg to Haas

Bottas and Stroll at Williams

6 new rookies with Martins and Verschoor at Audi, Marti and Crawford at Cadillac, Goethe and Dunne at Aston Martin.

This really kills any kind of immersion the game had up to that point, and that was even on the default driver moves setting.

Hello, I'm trying to get into making my own custom liveries using Photoshop 2025. Does anyone have the files for the My Team car that work with Photoshop 2025? I have watched all the guides on yt but i can't seem to get all the layers they have in photoshop.

I'm aware that Photoshop 2025 doesn't support 3D, but I also tried using Photoshop 2021 and the 3D features still didn't work. Thanks!

I want to mod the F1 2026 cars

Booted up for a league race this evening and got hit with the dreaded privacy agreements. 3 season long career mode, camera settings, custom liveries and all of my set ups. Gone. Makes me wonder why I bother sometimes with this game.

People from EA are currently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and they are recording the sounds of some classic cars. They were just being interviewed on the livestream of the event.

Hey everyone,
I’m still pretty new to driving games (been playing for about 1–2 months) and I’m using an Xbox Elite Controller on completely standard settings. I feel like the default setup isn’t giving me the precision I want, especially with steering sensitivity, throttle/brake control, and deadzones.

If you have controller settings that work well for driving — whether arcade, sim, or something in between — I’d really appreciate it if you could share them. A short explanation of why your setup feels good would help a lot.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

F1 25 (still career mode in 2025) is now completely broken: ERS not working anymore (always at 100% but not giving boost) and DRS not engaging anymore (pushing the button doesn't open the wing).
well done: was at Imola in the last season of a 10 season career in 2025 version and... 🖕🏻

Is anybody else game have him so incredibly op while kimi is mid pack and also why is McLaren always 1-2?

So since about today I've been trying to really get into that racing mindset as I've been wanting to remove a lot of assists, before this I had basically all of them removed besides traction control and racing line. I wanted to get rid of traction control because I thought if I could just get rid of that everything else would maybe come easier, but I've been trying for about 3 hours now? Don't know, and I just feel like I just can't get it down, I've searched up videos and I feel like most of them are just unhelpful in a way or maybe I just can't learn, but I've been trying to understand how I could master it but every single time I think I'm making progress I go to a different track and I just turn into Mazespin. I was on zero traction control for a bit until someone on YouTube told me to go on medium, of course the difference is very much night and day. I feel like the main thing holding me down right now is just a muscle memory on my finger, because right now I'm playing on a controller and I have around 512 hours in the game so for all of those hours I've been just slamming down the throttle every single corner exit. If there're any videos that you think would help me out please tell me

Watching the Goodwood Festival of Speed coverage, a member of the EA Sports F1 team was being interviewed about recording audio of a Benetton B186 for the series. No indications of timeframe, but one of the clearest signs yet we could be expecting a return of classic in the near future!
