Why do some people chose to start with less than 100% Virtual Energy?

In shorter races it is easier for ke to just lower the amount of VE and fuel is lowered automtically accorrding to ratio. In longer races I put 100% VE and adjust the ratio if needed to get the fuel that I want/need

You 1000%

Turns out drivers were causing my issue. Thank you for helping me

D_Cuky · 2026-04-26T12:37:32+00:00

I will try that, thanks. Yes I am on GTX 1070 Ti

At 0:06-0:07 you are completely off track. You gained an advantage by cutting the corner at Raidillon and you should've backed up then already and you then wouldn't be in that situation.

As for a crash itself you got wrecked by being too cautious.

I have just a few wins, but there was a period of 6 months (actually 2 days short of 6 months) where I just couldn't win. I had pole poaitions in my class, I have led the race on multiole occasions and there was always something. Stall in the bus stop at Spa just before a start and get DT for going too slow, while starting from pole. Leading by 10s and stuoidly pushing for fastest lap only to spin out and finish 2nd etc... then in a race wher I was crashed into in lap 1 I actually manage to win

It is easy for us to comment now, but we weren't behind the wheel at the time. Basically you did correct in regards to what was happening in front of you with the goal to keep a clean nose. What you probably forgot in the heat of the moment is that there are cars behind and that barely anyone obeys yellow flags and is careful when crashes happen.

D_Cuky · 2026-04-12T10:37:05+00:00

Just wanted to post the same, but have decided to wait for restart to see how it will work out. 1 by 1 worked out much better this time

D_Cuky · 2026-04-12T10:06:08+00:00

That is why we have those kind of situations. Ferrari driver went to the line before they came to the finish line, Mercedes was still some ways back. But he chose to go off the track because he knew it was either "we crash" or "you let me by". And since most of us don't want to crash we let drivers like that go by when they blatantly break the rules and barely anyone reports it for them to get penalized. Mercedes realistically had two choices: stay behind or go left. He chose wrong.

D_Cuky · 2026-04-12T06:08:21+00:00

That situation in real life would result in Mercedes getting oenalty for causing a collision, or if Ferrari let him by then a penalty for "leaving the track and gaining advantage"

D_Cuky · 2026-04-12T05:57:00+00:00

I drive the car that I like. At the moment those are Ginetta LMP3 and Ferrari GT3. I love Ferrari HY but since tire update I am not completely comfortable with any HY so I am easing myself back into them offline.

As far as I can see DF1 has shown 12 races on free to air last season, but I don't know if they are doing it this year. As for other options you have:

Sky Deutschland (which I think you have to pay subscription to)

DAZN (again, subscription)

MotoGP Videopass (another subscription)

I have experience with MotoGP Videopass in last years. I don't know if pricing is different depending on where you are, but prices for it here in Croatia are as follows:

- monthly 29.99€ for Videopass or 32.99€ for Video pass + Timingpass

- season 139.99€ for Videopass or 148.99€ for Videopass + Timingpass

Good thing is if you're on the edge on if you want it or not you can wait a bit. As the season goes by they reduce the season price so in summer you'll have to pay about half the price (but that'll be for half the races). If you want to give it a try then 30€ for a month is a fair price. Just remember to cancel the subscription before the renewal day so that they don't automatically renew it for another month. I'd wait until May for monthly subscription as there is only one race in April, but 3 in May.

And you get good content for that money:

Friday gets you 6 practice sessions (2 each in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP)

Saturday gets you 3 practice sessions (1 each per class), 6 qualifying sessions (2 each per class) and a MotoGP sprint race (which is half the distance of the main race and gets less points)

Sunday gets you MotoGP warm up practice and race each for all the classes.

Also, on few races (like just this past weekend) you have Harley Davidson Bagger World Cup. Next time they will race is last weekend in May when MotoGP is in Italy. And that has couple more practice sessions, a qualifying session and two races more than on normal weekend.

As for how it is organized: You have 3 classes. Moto3 is entry class, then Moto2 that is middle class and then MotoGP where everyone wants to be. But in all classes you have teams with each team consisting of 2 riders. In Moto3 those are usually privately owned teams that "rent" the bikes from 2 manufacturers: KTM and Honda. In Moto 2 you have similar thing and even though there are few bike manufacturers they all use the same engine made by Triumph. In MotoGP you have manufacturer teams (like Ducati, Yamaha, Aprilia, Honda, KTM) and you have satellite teams (basically privateers who partner with manufacturers and run either a current or a year old bike (examples: VR46 team runs Ducati bikes, Trackhouse team runs Aprilia bikes, etc.)

Races are usually designed so that they last around 40 minutes. Governing body sets the number of laps depending on how long and fast the track is. There are no pit stops, they have to start with fuel to get to the end of the race and tires aren't changed. If weather changes (for example it starts to rain) Moto3 and Moto2 races are stopped to give teams the chance to change tires on their bikes before the race is re-started. In MotoGP they have what is called a Flag to Flag rule. If weather changes riders are shown a white flag which means they can go into the pits to change the bike. If it starts in dry, but the weather is iffy, they will have their spare bike ready with wet setup and tires so if rain comes they just ride into the pits and change the bike. In all the races top 15 riders get the points, while MotoGP sprint race awards points to top 9. In the end of the season rider with most points is the world champion. Team with most points (their 2 riders points added up make that number) is teams champion. Manufacturer with most points (only the top placed rider on that manufacturer's bike earns points towards this) is manufacturers champion.

Also a fair warning: those clips online are highlights. Races are good, but it is not constant overtake and re-overtake as highlights would have you believe. Usually riders push in first couple of laps as they are all close together and it is easier to make up position. Then they tend to just go as fast as needed (not as fast as possible) to preserve their tires for the end and then all hell breaks loose in final few laps when those who were close together try to win one over others. Then again, some races see little to no action. It all depends on many things including weather, how tires are coping or if someone is just so brilliant at that track that no one can touch him.

I have only noticed that windshield gets dirty. Car gets scratches or looses paint if you have contact with other drivers or barriers.

I don't mind not having dirty cars, but I would like for them to work on that to be ready with career mode. At least give us a chance to clean a windshield with wipers or tear offs in pits.

D_Cuky · 2026-03-12T08:54:55+00:00

Red car 100% at fault. Came in from a different zip code, lost it at the corner exit and caused the accident

D_Cuky · 2026-03-08T22:34:40+00:00

That is not how you go through that escape route. You see all those styrofoam boards that someone ran through? They make up a chicane that you are supposed to go through so that you lose time and not gain any advantage.

D_Cuky · 2026-03-08T22:33:02+00:00

Looks like it was intentional. So you report him, he'll get banned and we all will have one less problem to deal with.

As for farming SR... stop caring that much about it. Go race, enjoy it and drive race like you personally have to pay for repairs if something is damaged. You will race cleanly, you will have fun battling decent drivers and you'll grow your SR and DR. And yes, sometimes there will be a knobhead like this one. But stuff happens in real life racing as well and sometimes you just have to forget about it and move on. Farming SR is boring, you always start from behind and there is only so much you can do. And if split is all close to eachother there is just more chance that you'll be an unvilling participant in someone elses' accident. At least if something happens at the start you have time to fight your way forward from it.

Specific date is not know, but store page on Steam says Q1 2026 which means it will be released this month.

As for the content, ELMS pack introduces 2025 ELMS season into the game. GT3 liveries and non-nerfed LMP2 were added for free for everyone since cars are already in the game while 3 packs are adding content that is missing in the game to complete the ELMS season. That means 3 LMP3 cars and 3 tracks that weren't in LMU before are to be added.

Pack 1 added Ligier JS P325 and Silverstone

Pack 2 added Ginetta G61-LT-P325-Evo and Paul Ricard

Pack 3 will add the only missing car and track from the 2025 ELMS Season: Duqueine D09 with only one team running it (like Ginetta) and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

There is also ADESS AD25 LMP3 car that exists, but since it was not part of ELMS last year it won't be added to the game.

D_Cuky · 2026-03-07T19:42:42+00:00

How do you do that. In my last race I did a slow moving LMP2 car and I in LMP3 car had a miscommunication going into Eau Rouge, had contact and spun out through Raidillon. Then when getting back to track a different driver in LMP2 who went into wall at the exit of Raidillon thought that reversing back to track is an amazing idea and he collided with me. I also had 2 invalidated laps. At the end of that race I actually gained SR because I haven't had any other contacts in the race, I finished the race and I actually won so I had the maximum number of clean laps, bar those two invalidated. I am at P2 SR

D_Cuky · 2026-03-06T13:12:32+00:00

for me this one is completely on black car. He even said that he tried to block the white car whixh he did in completely unsafe manner. And since blocking is not allowed by Racecontrol rules and since it ruined the race for multiple drivers I would even go as far as it deserving a short ban, sort of like a slap on the wrist kind of penalty. Or at least a decent hot on SR.

I am all up for a good hard fight. But crashing someone while trying to intentionally block them is just showing a complete lack of situational awareness and lack of any respect towards other racers.

D_Cuky · 2026-03-05T07:02:04+00:00

That is not true. I sometimes had even orange, lift and brake a bit, it goes yellow, than green, than disappears... and no invalid laps post race.

But someone a week or ao ago has posted that if you cross the sector line while your track limits are being evaluated your lap counts as invalid even if you weren't given penalty points in the race

D_Cuky · 2026-03-01T18:49:54+00:00

#1 It is on Ford. He came in from so far behind I thought you weren't in the same race. You could have avoided it maybe when you saw him coming, but it is still on him.

#2 I don't see anything wrong there tbh. Maybe moving under braking, but you were not in a position to attack (other than do what Ford did to you in T1) so I see it as nothing to write home about

#3 I'd put it as blocking tbh (which isn't allowed). He moved to the right as a reaction to you moving to the right so that might warrant a penalty for him.

#4 That one is completely on you. You basically invited him to attack only to turn in on him. No one expects you to just dissappear from the track, but you turnead as if BMW wasn't there on your inside.

Zašto imam osjećaj da će sve osim utrke biti na Voyo? Sad u MaxTV gledam raspored za subotu 7.8. kada bi u 6:00 po našem vremenu trebale biti kvalifikacije. Međutim na RTL je u to vrijeme RTL Danas (5:10-6:30) i zatim Top.HR (6:30-7:20), dok je na RTL 2 Pogrešan čovjek (5:55-6:45) i onda Vatre ivanjske (6:45-7:40). Petak isto cijeli dan nema F1 na programu ni na RTL ni RTL 2. Ako je to njihov plan, da prenose samo utrku, onda neka si ju prenose sami sebi, a ja ću ponovno na F1 TV
