Tips for a beginner pleaseF1 2010-2016

Hey dudes, just bought F2010 today. I've been playing all the GT's so it know what car games is about. I saw that you can change a lot of settings on you car etc. I am starting with a Lotus.

Is there any settings that you would recommend me using?

I just usually use the engineer's quick set up, but many others spend more time fine tuning.

Hi there,
generaly each track is different, and need different settings of downforce, ridehigh etc.
You will find a lot of setups here in the forum. Or directly in codemasters forum.

But at the beginning You can drive with settings shale i say "standard" in the game.

If You want to fight for best times in time trials than You will need to change setups more deeply.

Okay, thanks for the tips guys. Its very diffrent from F1 in GT but im starting to learn it

It takes time to get used to that transition from GT, trust me

It gets a lot easier after a week or two. Don't worry about tuning yet - the default setups are actually quite good (if you pick the right one for the right circuit)

other than that, just start practicing. and PLAY ONLINE - you will get very good very fast due to the competition you are up against

I'm new to F1 also.. and coming from GT5, i thought this was a rather "arcade-ish" game.. boy was i wrong.

I started out with no assists and at the hardest setting. I could never keep up.. and ended dead last. So i switched the difficulty and now i'm actually winning a few races. My advice is to start on "easy" and go from there.

p.s. And i know that you wanted the Settings, but i just wanted to share a little of bit of what i just experienced

Cheers.

for dry circuits, always pick the the engineer's set up furthest to the right (lowest downforce)
