hi, i've been using the f1 car for a while now and until a few days ago it was totally fine and i've been getting some pretty good lap times in it and winning races and was happy with it. However a few days ago i took it out just on a practice race in gt mode and it was handling like a dog. It had loads of oversteer and wheelspin and i couldn't drive it at all. I changed all the setup bits to default, and even added loads of traction control, and there was no change. The weirdest part is that in time trial/free run it handles totally fine. Anybody had a similar problem or have any suggestions? Thanks for the help

That is odd, I've run the F1 championship twice with different F1s, plus a number of other races and have never had a handling problem. What tracks are you having trouble with? If it is Sarthe maybe its the bottoming out problem?
As far as arcade, that doesn't use the same car as is in your garage, as I understand it. So that wouldn't have the same problem.

hey, thanks for all the replys. It does it on every track, the first time was on tsukuba, but i know what you mean about sarthe and its much worse than that. Its as if all the traction control is turned off since it wheelspins so much and there is no downforce in the corners, its really bad. Its not too much of a problem, since i think its fine for proper races in the halls and i prefer time trials to be honest anyway. Thanks for the help anyway, if i work it out i'll post again. Cheers!

good luck with that. all cars have some kind of wear and tear on them, all you would have to do is do an oil change or refresh (in the other section for weight reduction and roll bars) but the f1 doesnt have a choice for either of those.
someone in this forum or annother forum has seen damage on the F1 so mabe its damaged, see if somethign looks phisically wrong with it, because it may be the problem, and you may want to win annother one and try it out. at the very least for testing purposes try to win one anyways to compaire the two.

Well... is it the car or just that you are not used to the way it handles? The F1 is a twitchy beast at best. A small amount of steering input yields a larger than expected response, especially at high speeds. But it is also a forgiving car if you do get out of shape because it is stuck to the road like glue. But, once it lets go, it does it all at once and you have no chance to correct as you do with a lesser race car. Just remember two things: Never drop two wheels on the grass with the power on and never, never let the rear wheels go red.
Run the 15 GT Championship races in a-spec and you will learn how to drive the car and find out that the F1 is way better than any other car in the game.

ok man thanks i gona practise and practise with it but one thing why can u not buy parts for it is there anyway
-6 Toe out is how the formula can steer well in the first place..
Anywho, I wouldn't expect the F1s to screw over. Since you cant tune it or oil change all i would expect that it would lose its top accelertaion potential and since you cant buy Refresher, do expect the car to steer off the road on its own and not turn as well.
OH WAIT! that's probably your problem, Your car really needs the refresher plan, but you cant get one. The body has probably warpped all over. Well have fun...

One would hope that, in the 18 months since the original post was made, timeloun would have found a solution.

Eh? Maybe it's because you're not driving with the EXACT driving Habits? I get lots of oversteer and loss of traction when flooring the throttle oout of a slow-speed turn. Also, You can't really change much with an F1, Maybe it's the warping of the F1's chassis?(You haven't really stated much detail aobut your car. Might you present your FGT's mileage for us?)
