    ----------
    F1 2021 is a racing game that caters to players of all skill levels, but also rewards those that want to challenge themselves. Today, we’re talking about how to drive without assists in F1 2021.
    In this F1 2021 tutorial I’ll be taking you through what I feel is the best order to switch each assist off in, so that you can experience an ideal learning curve going forward.
    In most racing games, assists are designed to help players who struggle with certain aspects of driving their car. This is no different in F1 2021.
    The first thing to point out is that assists generally make a car safer and not faster, so if you’re looking to improve your performance, you’ll want to learn how to drive with some, or maybe all, of them disabled.
    By turning various assists off, you increase the complexity of the driving experience, however you also increase the amount of control you have over the car itself.
    This can allow you to do things that weren’t previously possible, some of which are to your advantage.
    That being said, there’s no right or wrong way to choose what assists to want to use, so if you’re having more fun with some assists turned on, leave them on.

    00:38 - Casual vs Standard Race Style
    00:56 - Auto DRS
    01:11 - Steering Assist
    01:24 - Braking Assist

    Learning how to drive without assists in F1 2021 may seem daunting, but can become easy with the right approach.
    But why turn them off though?
    In most racing games, assists are there to help players who struggle with driving their car.
    This is fine, and if F1 is more fun for you with some assists turned on, leave them on.
    That being said, it’s possible to improve your laptimes and beat faster cars by learning to drive with a few of them turned off.
    Driving becomes more complicated and it’s easier to make mistakes, but on the flipside you also have far more control over the car itself.
    You also don’t have to turn off every assist at the same time, and some are easier to master than others, so let’s focus on the easy ones first.
    ✅ Graduating From Casual
    Depending on what Race Style you’re using, you may not be able to change the Assist settings in F1 2021 at all, so let’s take care of that first.
    If you’re playing on Casual, switch to Standard and you’ll see all of the settings you can change. There’s even presets that suggest what ones to turn off first.
    Auto DRS automatically opens the rear wing whenever you’re allowed to do so, though by switching it off you can now choose to delay the activation in tricky corners.
    This can be useful if you’re driving without Traction Control, as opening the rear wing reduces rear grip, and may cause you to slide.
    Next up we’ve got the Steering Assist, which attempts to steer the car for you in order to keep you on the track.
    This will typically keep you on the road, but you may find yourself fighting its suggestions sometimes, and switching it off will make you go faster.
    Braking Assist does a similar thing to the brakes, and will often brake earlier than you want to, slowing you down too much.
    Again, switching this off will help you go faster, and you can still keep Anti-Lock Brakes on if you want.
    Pit Assist and Pit Release Assist are interesting ones, as you may gain an advantage by leaving them on.
    In short, Pit Assist will stop you getting penalties from entering the pitlane too quickly, and Pit Release Assist will automatically release you once you’ve done your pitstop, and stop you getting penalties on Pit Exit.
    ERS Management is another one you might want to remove, as it automatically handles your battery deployment during a race.
    A simple way to manage ERS is to only use it at the start of long straights, before switching it off at high speed. That way you get the speed boost it provides, without draining it too much, too early.
    The remaining assists are a little trickier to master but also give you the biggest boosts in performance, so let’s start with the one I recommend turning off first.
    ✅ Manual Gears
    Manual Gears is the first of the major assists I would recommend you try turning off, as it gives you more fine control over your pace through corners.
    Upshifting is rather easy, you wait for the shift lights to appear on your display, and once they reach the gear number you’re at the best point to shift up.
    This is the ideal shift point for most cars, and you’ll quickly learn to do this without thinking.
    For downshifting, you want to pay attention to the noise the engine makes, and shift down when it sounds low.
    Normally this is just after the shift lights are no longer lit up.
    Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you can now try techniques such as Short-Shifting and Engine-Braking.
    Short-Shifting is when you deliberately shift up gears early, long before the shift lights are lit up.
    This is handy out of slow corners or in the rain, especially if you drive without Traction Control.
    Engine-Braking on the other-hand is where you shift down a few gears very quickly, normally at the start of a braking zone.
    This helps you slow down a little quicker, and brake later as a result.
    To do this, quickly shift down 2 or 3 gears at the start of a corner, before slowly going down the rest of the gears to your desired speed.
    Using Manual Gears will take some practice, but over time feel natural and the extra control you have over your car’s speed and rotation will make a big difference to your performance.
    ✅ ABS
    Next up we have ABS, the Anti-Lock Braking System.
    This detects when your wheels are about to lock up, and automatically releases the brakes for a split-second before applying them again.
    You can brake as hard as you can and still make the corner, although it does take slightly longer to slow the car down than it would without ABS enabled.
    When driving without ABS, you’ll have to constantly feel the limit of the tyres and just how much pressure you can apply while slowing the car down.
    Ultimately, it comes down to a combination of two factors.
    You can brake harder at high speed than at low speed, and the more you turn the steering wheel the less you should brake.
    Balancing both of those is tricky, but stick with it and after a few days you’ll get the hang of it.
    One quick tip here is to focus on braking in a straight line to begin with.
    Once you’ve got a feel for the brakes and developed the muscle memory, you can then try combining braking with turning, for specific corners.
    ✅ Traction Control
    While getting into corners is tricky, getting out of them is one of the most common difficulties I see players struggle with.
    Driving without Traction Control makes it much, much easier to spin the car, but at the same time also allows you to control your exit speed and rotation to a great degree. This extra control allows you to exit corners faster.
    The easiest way to do this is to gradually add more throttle out of a corner, instead of putting it all down in one go.
    Much like with ABS you will need to develop a feel for the limit of grip, though it’s a little easier to do than it is under braking.
    When the car begins to slide too much, gently back off the throttle and turn the car to straighten it up, and then drop more power down again.
    In most scenarios, you won’t want to go full-throttle until you’re almost entirely straight.
    ✅ Racing Line
    One more assist to consider switching off is the Dynamic Racing Line.
    While this may seem simple in theory, it challenges you on a different level to the other assists, as it’s not the car you need to learn, but the tracks themselves.
    To help with this, it’s best to break down each corner into simple components.
    First you have the braking phase.
    This normally starts around the 100 metre board, with your car on the outside line.
    Brake in a straight line and bring the car down to the right speed before turning in.
    During the turn-in phase, you’ll be looking to bring the car from the outside line towards the inside line, clipping the apex at the middle of the turn.
    As you near the apex cast your eye beyond the apex, and get a sense for where the car is going to end up.
    In most scenarios you want the car on the outside line again so that you can get a faster exit.
    As you pass the apex you begin the exit phase of the corner, gradually adding power and straightening the car up again before going full-speed.
    While corners come in many shapes and sizes, this is the basic principle behind each.
    Over time you’ll begin to identify the right approach for every corner, in order to get the best laptimes.
    For more detailed analysis subscribe for more videos, and I wish you the best of luck, in your next race.

    I bought this game one month ago and it's my first proper racing game. I started playing without assists since day one. I couldn't finish a single lap, now I can at least do three before spinning or getting DNF lmao
    UPDATE: I can now win races against 80% AI in tracks like Imola, Silverstone, Monza or Interlagos, which is a huge step from not even being able to finish a 25% vs 60% AI. I still can't do street circuits, Spain or Hungary very well tho

      That's what it takes baby steps. Especially with F1 cars. Focus on going around the track slowly checking breaking points. Then build up speed. The slow progression in speed will help staying on the track more.

    I've played manual and no traction control in racing games for years, but only recently tried no ABS on F12020. It was hard at first, but honestly it makes the game better. You can feel what's happening, it kind of teaches you how to manage your tyres better, and it's so much more rewarding to get right. It says a lot about how necessary force feedback is though, and how much better it has gotten. ABS on older games and controls was a nightmare.

    • @SupraJoel
      @SupraJoel Pƙed 2 lety +2

      Without loadcell pedals you will never really know how fast an F1 car can stop. Loadcells wont lock the brakes up. Dynamic racing line is for people who run non loadcell pedals from what my pedals say. I only ever use Dynamic racing line to learn the corner speeds.

    • @listerofsmeg884
      @listerofsmeg884 Pƙed 2 lety

      I found that reducing the break bias to 50-52% reduces the front wheel locking a bit and keeps the tyres from heating up too much.
      Some tracks (Monaco, Zandfort, Hungarian GP) are still a pain though.

    I drive mostly with just the automatic gears, pit assists and a bit of traction control. As a pad player, it's hard to get the sensitivity to manage with no traction control. Biggest issue I have is excessive tyre heating with the ABS off, especially as your car gets close to maxed out.

    When I decided to switch the major assists off, I checked which one makes you lose more time and it was traction control. It's a big mistake to switch traction control off before automatic gears, the car will spin non stop because it shift gears automatically during the accelaration in low speed corners disrupting the balance of the car and I just thought I was really bad at the game (not totally wrong tbh).
    Don't turn traction control off before the gears

      Linearity is a godsend when getting accustomed to it. It’s definitely possible, though I will admit I felt the exact same way when I first turned it off.
      Now I have it off, and rarely even think about it. You just need to be gradual with every movement.

    • @Haniel93
      @Haniel93 Pƙed 2 lety +4

      It is not impossible. You just need to really concentrate on using the full range of the triggers and sticks and not slam them full left, full right, full pressure. Since in most other games you dont really make use of like 30% control input, it is almost as if you learn to use the controller in a new way. And it takes practise. When I started disabling TC and ABS with my xBox controller I was also tempted to give up. You don't learn this in one race and it can be frustrating. But you will be getting better. So if you want to drive without assist, I encourage you to give it another go with this in mind. However, if you don't care that much and have fun with assists, stick with it to kep the fun :D

    I find the difficulty evaluation really interesting, because to me it seems, that it might be totally different for certain players. For me for example turning off the dynamic racing line was between easy and medium, i would say. After a few laps (and maybe one of your track guides ;) ) I remembered the braking points and had similar lap times as before. On the other hand I struggle with manual gears - not because i cannot shift to the right gear, but because i find it really difficult to concentrate on the gears and the right breaking points.
    so I think for certain player types like me, developing the needed automatisms (technical aspects of driving) are just more difficult to learn than the theoretical aspects.
    btw. i feel like manual starts should be included in this list. easy to learn, hard to master.

      Interesting to me too. I started playing half a year ago, and never used any assists beside Anti-lock for the first few days before I turned it off, not because it would assist me, but because I feel it would hinder me. The racing line because it shifts my focus away from where I need to look, and traction control because... well, I want to feel the traction of the car myself so I know the limit.
      Gears come naturally to me, just listen to the engine and shift accordingly. And ofc I want to shortshift whenever I want.
      I'd range the difficulty like this:
      Easy: racing line, gears + minor ones
      Medium: Anti-lock
      Hard: Traction
      AND THAT'S JUST A THEORY! I'll show myself out.

      If you need 'half an hour to an hour per track' for learning to drive them without the racing line then there is no way that you are getting decent lap times. Learning braking zones is easy when the only variable that you are looking into is if you stay on the track or not, but it takes WAY, WAY longer if you are trying to get good lap times without a dynamic raceline.

      Try looking at it from a logical point of view, if that is something that you are familiar with, which I honestly doubt:
      If you know how to drive without traction control, brake assists etc, you can use those skills on literally every single course, because it is a basic skillset, mastering braking zones on the other hand is individual on EVERY.SINGLE.TRACK.AND.EVERY.SINGLE.CURVE, it takes way longer, since, as I've said, it is not a general skillset but something that needs to be practiced and perfectioned for every single track.
      So, again, if you say that driving without racing line is an easy skill to master, that proves that you are not good at the game, sure, you might think that it was easy to learn, but your times will prove my statement.
      My thesis is that both of you are nowhere near decent times in time trial, you can prove me wrong by showing me your time trial times though. :)

    Buy some loadcells pedals. I then spent like 2hrs adjusting them to the F1 game configuration. Once you have brake and throttle matched perfectly to the pedals, with a bit of practice you will barely notice the difference between traction control on and traction control off. All you have to know is, short shift 1st, feed the pedal in 2nd and usually 3rd, never throttle over curbs in F1 2021 and try keep the car straight as possible. in corners I tend to driver up a gear so I can tap the throttle mid corner need be. The rest is learning some corners and tracks are more slippery than others. Like turn 2 in Austria is lethal for no traction control.
