F1 2010 Montreal - Canada (Dry)

[angelmaker30]

ok guys i have a challange for you. I have a great tt set up on this track but it does not work so well on actual races. Can you give some pointers to a good race set up on this track? thanks as always.

 

[Andrew Bortz]

Just improved my time to a 1:09 flat.

I cant give any tips on your set up Angel due to you not posting it.

Original setup I posted will be updated shortly to reflect new time.

VERY NICE setup Bortz, change that rear stiffnes to 1 in montreal was great, I did a sub1:09 with it (1:08.833) and I was like 0.100s after my ghost too, so it is possible to improve. Thx

Victor's setup. Career year 4 of 7 Virgin, legend, no assists but traction, full sim. Qualification 1:16:717, pole. Race 1st, 1:17:731 personal.

 

[Viktor Andersson]

1:08.664 and after doing this lap I can see that under 1:08.500 is definatly possible.

 

[Lorenzo Claeys]

1.15.976 with Lotus, 1st season in qualification.
Using Ben's setup with Viktor's gears.
Great setups guys!

In races, AI uses what is called Catchup. That is how Hamilton did a 1:14.1. Only way to turn that off is if you have the PC version of the game and use a mod that disables Catchup.

Oh great! All this time I thought the AI cars are were increasing their performance on the later part of the race because of fuel getting burned off (cars getting lighter). I have PS3 so I guess I'll just have to live with it.

1.13.803 2nd lap usin viktors setup usin ps3 controller traction full auto So whats the gap ment to be using a wheel?

 

[calaisz174]

1.12.504 using Ps3 controller. I need a wheel!

 

[Rob Butler]

Calais, apply for a license and get involved with the racing club, the more ps3 racers the better!

I found the lower gear ratios are important for acceleration out of slow corners.
Also using the front wing adjustment in cockpit when on primes.

PS am loving this game and all the help from those posting here.
Check out Cadmuss too on Youtube with his "F1 2010 lets play career mode on expert" for more tips and entertaining race commentary.

Yeah im in my sixth year won 5 wdc obviously haha. Can sorta see how i've progressed when i look back on it i started at lotus on easiest level and didnt even win every race only now i've put it to legend i can do pretty well most tracks i've only ever played career this was the first track i even tried time trail. Love the game just joined mclaren and tool button has r and d focus on intermediate up to hockenhiem still haven't even got a fast throttle setting yet makes it a bit more of a challenge i guess. And started to do full race weekends with full races and tires and fuel cant wait for the new ones. And whats this i read on here about bugs in the game? What as they? Ps3

Managed a 1:15:272 using OP setup with Toro Rosso, then managed a 1:15:072 during the race, all aids on except auto brake using a contoller. I'm not fully confident in driving without ABS or TCS just yet.

 

[CavaF1]

1.12.504 using Ps3 controller. I need a wheel!

It would be great if there was a seperated ranking depending wich platform and controller you use. I ha ve the same problem. I know i'm quick but its with a PS3 controller

 

[SkroTor]

With Simon's setup in a Lotus I got a 1:17.088 with primes and a 1:16.036 with options, and I'm destroying the rest of the field. Great setup
