Good Video, i'm playing with full traction and antilockbrakes on controller, before the handling patch, medium traction was so good to learn without traction, but now it's completely broken

[momocamorli]

Thanks for the tips. I could never drive without TC or ABS assists on F123, but now on F1 23 I seem to handle better without these assists. Currently I only use Race line on corners.

[eznorelol]

I've actually come to love the TC off and manual gearbox combo, will get you zooming out of the exits. Pair that up with ABS off and you'll be basically flying.

One assist not mentioned is the mini map. Disabling it is one less thing to distract you from the road track in front. Enabling the virtual mirror will keep your eyes forward and still let you know where the others are.

me personally full tc has been a lot quicker this year, i used to run medium tc and this year im like half a second slower with medium on, ive also tried none and im a little quicker on that but for some reason im the best on full even though ive been able to control medium for years

[matthewhead]

After the handling update I have had to turn traction control back on and I still can’t get off medium and slow speed corners as fast as the AI because of wheel spin. I’ve tried all sorts of setups and simply can’t eliminate it.
I am actually considering turning TC up to full to see if it gets any better.

[RikaRikaItsumika]

What stopped me from constantly spinning was actually to lower engine breaking by one click.
Ofc that only affects going into corners

[tubularcandy]

One very useful thing for me is the upshift tone.

Only use two, dynamic line, in which I do plan on turning off at some point.. also the DRS assist simply because of the limitations of Xbox inputs..

[luisfigueiredo]

Interesting...! Are you dropping COTA today? I'm going crazy 🤪!
Cheers mate!🙏🏻

[Argy_V]

I don't use any assists but i am on wheel and pedals ( plus 25 years of real driving experience). But on a pad its a different thing..

[LHEDITSZZZ]

This made me faster but it is so much Hader to drive without racingline

[Alexperrin]

Use every assist apart from steering assist and braking assist

[uvannaveen]

Bro I can't get over the engine sounds in this game. They remind me of the f1 2014 engine sounds. They sound terrible in this game. They literally sound like a roblox game lol.

[cameronharris]

Medium traction control is broken currently

[snOOziie]

I'm unable to use manual and traction control off at the same time on controller I am unable to manage 8 gears with my thumb and accelerator with my trigger finger at the same time is not possible for me. Any tips with controller layout maybe techniques would be good.

[SidVish]

I dont use any . What ever I do I do it on my own ability and nothing else. Im not very good btw.
