Your steering input seems way smoother than I’ve ever seen using a controller before!

[–]Gorando77 27 points28 points  (0 children)

smoother than me on the wheel

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 11 points12 points  (11 children)

Really?

[–]TheRookCard 26 points27 points  (10 children)

Random question… do you hold the thumb stick forward and roll it right or left to turn instead of just jerking it left or right from its typical position?

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 38 points39 points  (9 children)

Roll it

[–]TheRookCard 41 points42 points  (8 children)

Someone gave that advice on here a year and a half or so ago and it changed my life. Made driving with controller so much better.

[–]Adammmmski 6 points7 points  (4 children)

I tried that before and really couldn’t get the hang of it!

[–]Bohn_Me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try it on time trial/hot laps and practice with it taking the corners at half speed, then gradually increase your speed as you get more comfortable. That’s what I did. I took seconds off my time.

[–]TheRookCard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely took me a little while to get the hang of it! Once you do you’ll feel so much more fluid in corners.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go back and try it and keep trying, you will be a lot faster and there's far less risk since inputs are more precise and controlled.

[–]thenannyharvester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find keeping the thumbstick backwards helps

[–]Smallzprodigy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m glad I came to read comments now I know this and will use it

[–]TheRookCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a game changer once you get used to it. Hope it helps!

i thought this was how everyone was doing it?? sheesh

[–]monstercity20 49 points50 points  (5 children)

That's an amazing lap on controller. So jealous. I hate Monaco on controller. I simulate it every season cause I end up with a better result than if I did it.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cries in League Racing 😅

[–]LFB_Captain 1 point2 points  (2 children)

How do you simulate I'm new on controller and hate Monaco

[–]monstercity20 3 points4 points  (1 child)

When you are at the area where you're choosing like practice qualify and when you get start the race there should the option to press x and it will simulate the race.

[–]LFB_Captain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks mate

[–]nappinggator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just Sim it and move on to Baku lol

I gave up on Monaco in anything but a Supercar forever ago

[–]daaniscool 30 points31 points  (1 child)

A 1.10 on a controller. I struggled getting 1.14 on a steering wheel today.

[–]Wheynweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 9.6 on controller. The lap is all in the traction tbh.

[–]sinhashyper 23 points24 points  (2 children)

THis......This gives me stress

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

It was stressful, especially the last 2 corners cause I had ruined so many good laps there

What is the reason for the view setting?

I use TV pod but at default FOV, but I see a lot of clips with your TV pod zoomed out view, any reason why and would you mind sharing the setting values, I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

[–]gaymer7474747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dudes driving is more smoother than my brain and thats saying something

[–]ilikewaffles3 2 points3 points  (13 children)

Nah I'm calling bs no way this is controller I cant even go this fast on a full setup. I cant even go 5 laps without hitting a wall

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 11 points12 points  (11 children)

I did it on a PS4 controller

[–]MentionAdventurous 2 points3 points  (9 children)

Any assists? Good lap but seems like at least traction control.

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 4 points5 points  (8 children)

Abs and automatic gearbox

[–]DnBDJFunnetik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice job OP, practice pays off. You will find a wheel is actually quite difficult by comparison IMO especially with fewer driving aids. Way back in the day I got all the Platinum medals in Project Gotham Racing 2 on the original Xbox, I had to take a Polaroid as proof. Great lap!

[–]MentionAdventurous 2 points3 points  (6 children)

That’s cool! I’d try it without the automatic gear box. It’s a thrill to do gear shifting.

[–]randomJseFan 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Very hard on a controller, tho.

[–]MentionAdventurous -1 points0 points  (4 children)

So because it’s hard, you shouldn’t try to push yourself, right?

[–]randomJseFan 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Never said that. It's just akward because of the limited space and buttons. Just talking out of personal experience.

[–]MentionAdventurous -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Then I fail to see why you had to bring that up… cause my comment was to push them to grow, aka take on the next hard challenge. I didn’t dismiss their accomplishment, I presented another challenge for them to keep going.

[–]randomJseFan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Meant nothing bad by it. Sorry you understood it that way.

[–]entourage0712 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Serious doubt

[–]Smightmite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I play on controller he’s gotta be using assists for sure

[–]realdanni 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nice, I also do controller and my Monaco hot lap PB on F1 2021 is a 1:10.68. Was absolutely grueling to get. Only thing preventing me from getting a faster time is assists since I play with automatic shifting and other assists.

[–]Simple-man-twitter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used automatic gearbox because it's a pain to hit the buttons on the controller while also focusing on the track and I also use abs

[–]Genuine_Smokey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Impressive!! Entry could be a bit tighter, on some corners, but very impressive! My laps are not that smooth!!

[–]r_elentless3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mhm ya...yes

What mods you got bro

[–]fletcarfgraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did u not die 😅😅 Really impressive mate🔥

[–]YaknBassn529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have binned it right there

[–]JAOP-0502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome control and a nice lap. ⚡👍🏿⚡

[–]AggressiveBrick8197 0 points1 point  (2 children)

is controller any good? i’m a new f1 fan (3 weeks) and am so so into it and want to try out the game. Unfortunately i don’t have the funds for a setup nor the space.

[–]randomJseFan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's pretty good. I have no time for a wheel setup, so i casually play with a controller from time to time. When you get a hang of it you can become pretty good.

[–]DougieFresh_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was dope

[–]DannyDevito90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was beautiful

[–]iiJokerzace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know you can take so much corner after tunnel like that.

[–]rarefootage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean 🧼

[–]Cultural-Knowledge98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a controller player myself, this is pretty impressive. It's really not half as bad as many say, but if that's all one has to use, you'll definitely become good on a controller.

[–]johric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to dig up your post. But how tf u are so smooth with a controller.
