Perez last sunday?
And sorry, but saying that oversteer isn't a big deal in an single seater demonstrates a lack of knowledge.
And we don't see drivers just going straight having no front bite all that often either.
Perez on Sunday? Exactly as I said "
Yes they will sometimes get light in the rear under braking and subsequently turn it around"
Watch the replay again, he is unsettled under brakes because he is off line the corner before the hairpin, and then into the hairpin he outbrakes himself in the marbles and dirty part of the track trying desperately to not run into Hamilton. By his own admission he got it all wrong and carried too much speed into the corner and spun, the same thing will happen if you try that in the game.
You can call me unknowledgeable all you want, and I'll just do the same back to you. As far as I'm concerned grouping F1 generically in with 'single seaters' shows how little you know. There are singles seaters, and then there is F1.
If I'm wrong, why was it Ant Davidson, someone who has actually driven F1, who has been asking Codemasters to increase the understeer? Steve Hood actually said they were reluctant to at first but on his insistence they did and are now very happy with the handling.
Those cars are extremely agile and stiff, they go from stable to throw you into the scenery faster than you can blink.
Plus the fact that the car doesn't oversteer on entry kills an important driving technique where the driver uses the sliding rear to achieve a better turn in.
F1 2012 suceeds on making you "look" like an F1 driver, on that we can agree.
And I have no problem with aggressive turn in with F1 2012 so I fail to see you point? If I couldn't achieve the same level of performance in game as what I see on TV, then I would be asking questions - but I can.
F1 2011 was ridiculous, you could drive faster and harder than any real driver could in a real F1 car. That is no longer the case in F1 2012, or at least the delta is much smaller now.
I don't disagree that there are some drivers who prefer a car that has slightly more oversteer than understeer, but in general balance is what they unanimously seek. Oversteer will eat your tyres, something they can ill afford to do in 2012.
Anyway, we're going around in circles here (excuse the pun). The handling hasn't been modified since release and is unlikely to be this year. I'm personally loving it, guess we'll see what happens next year eh?
