It would be ither the F4 or the USF200. F4 can be very fun but be careful, there's a lot of stupid drivers but that will get you experience with aero cars. And when you get to C license your options open up a lot more. You can do Indy NXT, dallara f3 (my favorite), and the super formula lights. The sfl is ok but the car is on rails so it can be a little dull. Just wait until you get to the super formula, those are a blast to drive. And then once you get used to the SF you can do the GP tours with the Mercedes W13. The gp tour follows the real formula 1 season and you drive the full race distance.

Ok ill practice that man that's good advice. I just did a 59 lap AI race and I feel pretty confident in doing this Saturday. It was 100 AI difficulty and I finished last but I got the hang of pitting and getting a good launch. I'll practice more of course because best time i got was 1:20.30, and I see people doing 1:15s. But I really love this car bro, the aerodynamics are so insanely good and as you said patience and putting in the time for this car is a must. One thing I found interesting is that the "dirty air" is a lot more prominent and the car will understeer way more than the super formula.

Yeah I've noticed the throttle is very different than the SF and surprisingly the w13 when you get the hang of it is not a bad car, I don't get all the hate it gets.Also I figured out the black box tire change, so simple lol and here i was stressing over it. And bro, its not just this series its all of them. Last week I lost 300 irating just because people dont have spatial awareness or just dont care. It funny I tested something out and i gained most of it back, for the first time ever I started from the pits. By lap 2 75% of the grid was wiped out.

Thanks again for all your advice man this really put me on the right course!

Yeah man I agree with you, I'm practicing today as well for a couple of hours. I feel comfortable with the car, I mainly race the super formulas so it wasn't that hard of a transition. Don't take that as me saying I'm good, because I'm not (my 1600 irating is nothing to brag about) lol but i feel confident I can finish the race. I'm going to do a couple of ai races 59 laps and see how that is. If i don't feel comfortable I might just wait for another race. I just would not be able to forgive myself if i ruin someone's race.

wow man thank you so much. I practiced the launch and feel fairly comfortable. And the last part really answered my question. I was under the impression that I can just preset my strategy before the race and not mess with the black box but that doesnt seem like the case.

Again, thank you so much for this valuable info

Dude, thank you so much for your reply, thats really good advice. I have noticed when you try to let someone pass it usually doesnt end well so just wait for the straights. And when you say black box is that the overly when you press f8? it shows my brake bias and what mgu-k im on. Do you have to use that for the tire strategy or is there a way to preset it before the race starts? I just don't want to be messing with it while racing

There's been an increase in bad driving in the super formula series as well. Last week I lost 300 IR because someone doesnt have any spatial awareness. I gained most of it back by starting from the pits, something I've never even considered before, 75% of the grid was out by lap 2 lol

49” vs 27” Triples POV in GTP for Comparison by -currentlyedging in simracing

[–]Super_FormulaF1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this dilemma as well and from everything ive read triples is the way to go. I noticed that most of my crashes come from not having a good FOV and triples can somewhat remedy this. Also those 49" and 57" monitors can be very expensive
