F1GP - The Soaked Season : Round 05 - Montréal

Great stuff 👍 Did you modify the AI somehow or are you just an alien? 😂 I found it impossible to race against AI in wet, was around 4-6 seconds off the pace no matter what I did 😢

Thanks. No I didn't not modify the AI (the mod changes the performance of the drivers). At first it seemed indeed impossible to race against the AI, given the level of grip it has, but after many tries I realized several things: - the key for the setup is understeer. Otherwise you won't get any traction. So I start by configuring the rear wing to get a decent top speed, using very little front wing, then I add front wing until the rear skids too much. Small detail: tweak the setup with a fully loaded car (starting full length races) - be very very gentle with controls: use as little steering angle as possible (traction changes drastically). - the AI weak point is braking, even more than on dry tarmac - the AI seems to have a performance boost in the first laps (doesn't feel that way on the dry), after lap 5 the pace settles. During the same first laps, the player cars feels like a tank: heavy and without grip. It gets better then. - I do around 40-50 race starts (doing a lap or two, when I can), trying to learn the AI movements off the grid. A majority of those starts ends in crashes.

@@zifox921 interesting . approximately how much front wing and rear wing did you use in this race for example?
