F1 23 • No Assists Guide - How To Drive Faster Without Assists (Racing Line, Traction, Braking, ERS)

[@Maddo03]

When it comes to turning off the racing line I found watching real life qualifying videos with the driver explaining it a great way to learn the track.

[@loicbenjamin-nobert9020]

Personaly, i just do races with the ai and i follow them to learn the lines and the breaking zone

Trailing is super important. You can use it to get your car to rotate through the corner quicker

[@pikestance8851]

The tracking issue mostly resolve itself once you turn off the ABS. The result of not using ABS is that you leave the corners with more exit speed thus a less likely you will feel the need to accelerate more quickly. The issue with ABS is that you have to brake differently with ABS on. You have to find the braking point irrespective of the racing lines colors. Keep in mind when you turn off ABS you will lock up a lot at first. It was on my third attempt that I minimized it. There is one particular corner I struggle to get around with ABS and without ABS I hit it perfectly now. Ultimately you are much better off without assist though you may not think you are.

[@JS-id7nd]

How long did it take for you to learn no abs

[@pikestance8851]

@@JS-id7nd I don't have an exact time, but the first thing you will do is lock up your brakes. You will teach yourself to gradually lift up to prevent locking up. Essentially, you will learn how to do basic trail braking. Don't fret too much on how long, when you do learn how to, it will be much better. ;) Expect it to strugggle with little progress in the beginning, but once you get it, it will improve quicker.

[@Faydurr]

After finally learning no abs and tcs med off the the corner braking line was the hardest to get used to. Especially as a controller player trail braking and in this tense moments accidentally squeezing that 1/4 in trigger travel out of corners lol after Qatar track new to this years game I instantly fell in love with the flow and being able to pull offf running very high downforce, I turned off the corner line and much sooner than I imagined I was gaining .5 sec a lap in time trial. Then went back to the braking line and was doing worse. So it may be a pain to learn no driving line. But in the end it’s so much more worth it. For lap times and immersive fun. Great video btw

[@jameswright1284]

Just got a wheel for Christmas and started with no ABS and medium traction control, all other assist off except gearbox while I learn to flippin drive lmao 😂. I spent the last 2-3 hours just driving silver stone and for the first hour I could barely complete a lap. Turning on the racing line for braking reference is great just ID something that is next to the first red indicator and your golden. I drove with “corner’s only” for about an hour and managed to crack under the 1:30:00 mark which felt sooooo good. I would use this if you are a beginner learning new tracks. I will probably do this until I can ID braking markers without corners only active consistently. It’s a grind but sooo rewarding and extremely fun

I play on controller with no assists + manual gears, but the racing line ironically is the one assist I struggle to turn off just due to the fact of forgetting my brake points. Edit: Turned off racing line and actually improving at a solid pace.

Same problem I can't brake in the time even in the tracks i know

[@S4V4GE05]

@@AliEfe-f7q After turning it off I am now very experienced with it off around every track on the calendar, all I can say is if you decide to turn it off, stick with it off and practice with it turned off. Watching guides is optional Imo as I just eventually adapted with it off over time.

thanks bro, i was lose againts my friend at first. but after watch this I can beat him easily

I been stopping hard on the inside of the turn and then taking off t had been working wonders for me , the tricky part is to find grip on the exit of the corner , i wont open up no more

[@sauroncro]

Over 250 hours on f1 games never learned to drive without assists and line, it is yust nightmare of a game.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I want your wheel! Lol Ready for this. I dont use breaking points. My mind is a weird but good one. I somehow go by feel and ive asapted to it so much its like I just know when or when not to just by eye looking at the start of the corner. Its just natural for me. I learned so so fast.

[@lifeduringwar]

Excellent intro, thanks for the vid

[@KonoComplex]

Very helpful! I figured everything throttle related on my own (by using logic, I'm pretty good at that 😉) and now I'm gonna master the art of braking (since i cannot for the love of god get a good break in an alpine on Bahrain on the first corner, since i lock up so much!!!) Also i would like to add that you did not mention any tips on how to get a near perfect stop in the video, Wich i hope you address in another video (i already how to get a decent start, just saying for everyone Wondering)

Some of these things dont matter in 2023 as much like the whole downshift faster in higher gears and slower in lower. It did in 2020 it was almost like it felt natural now in 2023 the downshifting feels slower in general. It feels natural. Some of you brake and downshift to fast imo hurting you. 😊

[@l.jboylan6704]

i cant drive faster without TC. I just feel like with TC i can get more out of the car. Im generally top 20% with full assists (no braking or stering obv)

[@Nizm0Mike]

Good stuff here.

[@massimarotta]

Hi! Great video. I have some experience (no assists, was top 3% on most tracks on F1 22). I kinda know a bit what I'm doing, understand balance, etc. But something I can't figure out is grip and minimum speed through corners. Looking at you and other pros it looks like there is just waaaay more grip mid corner. Any tips to improve on that aspect? Thanksssss

[@THOMB]

Try to consciously focus on getting better exits through corners, especially in hard braking zones. Line the car up so under braking so that it’s slow in, fast out. You can gain an immense amount of time like this. There is a lot of grip in the corners in F1 23, even I still have to finetune acceleration through corners as it’s quite easy to go full throttle very quickly. You got this, keep practicing!

[@massimarotta]

I definitely will. I guess watching also feels different than driving. I might be sending it a bit too much by braking late now that you mention it. I will give that a try! Thanks for the quick response!

If your new to turning off the Racing Line. Leave the line on for about 5 laps to speed up your leaning of where to break. Then turn it off.

Question, do you guys change brake bias, differential, and fuel Mixture for different turns during races? I still need to disable the line…so hard tho, first sim really. I bit and started with everything but the racing line off.

[@THOMB]

You can, but in reality only F1 Esports drivers do that for qualifying laps only. I would not recommend doing that yourself unless you’re racing ultra competitively. 56-58% is the golden zone for Brake Bias
