Why F1 cars are no longer present in multiplayer?

Is Kunos going to do something to avoid the fastest cars from continuously being discarded from multiplayer in relation to the mainheim they cause? The most iconic F1 has been abandoned. Unbelievable. The 919 will follow shortly.

Unlocking achievements should be a optional prerequisite to enter certain servers.
At least people would practice first before going online with one of those cars.

 

So you basically want that Kunos decides what we drive online and how we drive it?

Didn't the Italians abandoned fascism in ''45 when they shot Mussolini?

Even google didn't help to decipher ''mainheim''

 

In relation to what he wrote, the word is obviously mayhem.

Anyway, F1 are still used in leagues and locked servers. And true, they're not popular on public servers because no one can race them without crashing hard. That leaves maybe AB MR servers, but the majority here likes to drive more than fly

 

Yeah it's unfortunate, I really miss the F1 servers, but I can see why they are not around. The learning curve is too high and without driver aids it is not public server feasible. Even with good drivers you seem to still have to lower the damage settings since the cars were pretty fragile (love taps and hip checks).

No. They implemented driver aids, if people refuse to use it and then abandon cars on servers because they can't drive them...

 

Forcing someone to enter a server to unlock achievements is not a good idea. The few times I race, I want to race against people that are on the server because they want to, not because an achievement tell them to.

 

Indeed, if that is the case, “The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” Why force driver's aids upon the driver or have him belittle himself by turning on ABS and TC on an F1 car. Not the way humans tend to work.

I have never got along with the F1 car in AC (excluding the 50/60s aero free, they are awesome), it was a different matter in NetKar. Ripoffs, dirt buildup on visor, tyre warm ups were better, the tracking going with little taps have all kind of vanished. The damage you sustain in AC in F1 is just meh in comparison. Well that's my opinion anyhoo.

 

the Ferrari F1 we have in AC is too good at simulating the real thing, as in real life not everyone has the talent and has put the work into developing ability to drive a modern F1.
Definitely not public, read more amateurish, multiplayer server material. Specialty league, absolutely, for those who can handle it.

As for me, that F1 is way to much, so I enjoy some hotlaping, and I use the term loosely, as in my hand the F1 is not doing hot lap, more like practice.
A great thing with that car is that I realized how good any actual F1 driver is at driving a race car and think about that before criticizing anyone about maybe not have tempted to overtake or have misread a situation and create an issue on track.
Everything happens so fast and at the same time you need to think to manage the car and drive it at the same time, they are aliens as they need more than human reaction time to deal with all of it.

 

I think it's a great shame lots of the cars never get raced. It's not just the super fast but also some of the more driveable but just forgotten (McLaren F1 GTR for example). It would be great if AC had some sort of quick play servers where it cycled through all tracks and cars. Also I think there are plenty of people who can handle these cars in public servers but they see "3/24" (once the ones who can't have given up) and think "nah" and join the GT3 race with 23/24 instead, myself included, even though that race with only 3 people would probably still be pretty fun.

 

That would be really cool. Race of the week with different cars and tracks. Would most likely bring alot of life into multiplayer.

 

As someone who's relatively new to racing and not actually familiar with making setups, racing any sort of race car can easily put me in disadvantage. While I can work harder to make most of the car as much as I can and end up mid-field with GT2/GT3, I don't think there would be any chance I could keep up with the fast guys if I were to race modern F1 cars with them. Just thinking about the idea of changing brake bias/ARB stiffness/ERS presets on the fly makes me cringe.

With that being said I do enjoy dicking around in an old F1 car on Nordschleife.

 

It makes no difference what servers are up if people dont join them. When it comes to a trickier car youd need at least MR AB limits which even more shy away from. Then of those few that join while emtpy that may not be able to drive it properly so the servers stay empty.

Making more empty servers wont help if most people will only join a very busy server. Many would prefer whats run on other servers but are waiting for 20 very good other drivers to join before them so good luck to them and their server suggestions.

 

There are servers featuring the F138, and the SF15-T regularly, with people racing on them too... it's true that there are not as many servers doing so, as when the Red Pack was released, but that holds true for any other car too.

If then, there's a definite shortage of people racing the Maserati, and Lotus classic F1 cars.

 

i think you are wrong Dictatorship is what still rules this world, don't get fooled by the word democracy

 

Faster the car and shortest distances for brake, most difficult is for drivers run races close door to door. Too easy to make a wrong judgment and brake too late ruining a race for some one else.

 

Frankly I'm not sure what is this fuss all about.
Sure F1 cars in A.C. post a challenge ... but they are not that difficult to control once you have enough laps to get up to the speeds.
Yes, sure I'm far, far, far away from the top times but never ever really tried hard to get close especially with these.
It's true though that I have some experience doing simracing F1 for a few years which could help me not to spin that often I guess.
But with practice and the adrenalin from the race itself, it is not that difficult to deploy KERS or DRS, or change brake bias during a lap, even if you have somebody looking over your shoulder.
And I admit ... some people are just faster then others. And when you beat them on track it is even more satisfying ... for you.

 

i'll try to open up a f1 server tonite (asia time)

 

This is true they actually arent that hard to drive, its just that many in pub servers are very bad and dont understand the basic idea of how to stay on the track. Many have no idea about racing in traffic and the same bad drivers which may get away with some of this in a very slow car with ABS and TC wont show how bad they are until they get into a quicker car with no aids. Its really not so hard to drive a little slower to not be a hazard to everyone else in a server in a car you havent really got the hang of. If the person has no idea at all then best to run some laps offline but this is not something many even consider. Any reasonably decent driver can jump into any car get in a few laps without bothering others then be able to race without being a complete hazard and hitting everything.

They look for the busiest server they can find, dont even bother running a couple of laps in qualy to get a basic feel for the car. Then jump in at the race going 100% trying to outbrake people into every corner until they crash then escape to pits, wait til they can get going again make it around t1 then crash at t2. Repeat the process til they are bored or kicked or complain that the car is crap etc etc.

 

Agree with what @martcerv said. Also you can notice that the fastest cars to some degree attract the worst drivers.
I guess that's because they are fancy, popular and "cool".

Nevertheless, I've had good races in the SF15-T and F138 on public servers. It's just that it's only a rare thing.
Most of it is mayhem.

Edit: Apart from that I don't really get what this is about.
There are servers with these cars.
