Tips & Tricks:
————–
* Play the career mode! The career mode is an excellent way of getting used to
the game with a smooth progression curve- but if you do play it, try playing
one of the lower ranked teams. The higher ranked teams start have far harder
objectives for you to complete.
* Pay attention to R&D. In the career mode, you can invest in R&D and unlock
new perks for your vehicles- dont ignore this!
* Your race engineer, Jeff may sound like hes only there to interject at
inopportune moments but he does have some words of wisdom. While youre out on
track, your team is working behind the scenes to make sure youre getting to the
finish line as quickly as possible.
* Newcomers, stick to using Ferrari cars. This is because these are the easiest
to handle, so they are far friendlier to newer players to get a handle on things.
* Be mindful of your surroundings! Tracks in F1 2018 are not like tracks in Mario
Kart, but there are still things to keep track off- curves, slope, weather, and
more.
* Practice! You can get used to any car, track, or variation in the game- as long
as you practice. You are not going to start winning at this game right away- but
just stick with it, because if definitely pays off.
* While re-running practice programmes can help improve your race strategy, you
also have to think about the durability of your car. Parts wear out and theres
penalties to face if you use too many too soon. Only run the bare minimum of
practice sessions to save parts.
