Reminder not to use DRS while going through 130R

[u/KG_Modelling]

I’m surprised you managed to keep it on lol

[u/Kie_AS → u/KG_Modelling]

Agreed, especially considering they locked up too

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/Kie_AS]

I think that's what saved me actually, the one time I'm glad to not be running ABS

[u/Kie_AS → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

Either way, good catch mate

[u/StickStickly963nyny → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

Yeah that lock up caused just enough understeer to stop the oversteer. Just as you planned.

[u/N0085K1LL5 → u/Kie_AS]

I believe that's a real thing drivers do to keep from spinning out. The rear tires having more traction than the front.

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

This is back when unrestricted DRS use was allowed right?

[u/Zealousideal_Honey80 → u/bwoah07_gp2]

Yep. It was restricted from 2013 onwards.

[u/Luuks_Vader]

Box and change underpants confirm. New underpants confirm.

[u/CameronIb]

You can keep DRS open you just went into that turn too heavy on the front. Make it a gradual turn in instead of sharp entry.

[u/Orr-Man]

I mean, that was a good save though!

[u/the_doorstopper]

Which F1 is this? I kinda wanna play it, and for some reason it looks faster than regular

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/the_doorstopper]

This is F1 2012, it is running at 60fps on PC so that could be why it looks faster than normal

[u/the_doorstopper → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

Well like, I run uncapped fps on 23/24 and it defo doesn't look this fast, and im running well over 120fps, max settings

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/the_doorstopper]

Could be the FOV maybe? It's not adjustable on 2012 so maybe it's a high FOV making it have a better sense of speed.

[u/Reddituser8018 → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

This was made in 2012? It looks really good.

[u/Keyoya → u/Reddituser8018]

Honestly? From 2017 down the games went for realism and amazing graphics. After 2018 the graphics changed significantly to the style we have today

[u/Kirran-]

Code brown moment

[u/Sensitive_Dot_2853]

What

[u/Silbaich]

that was a great save ngl

[u/Sd_card_868]

Yup, i too had the problem on all tracks in F1 2012

[u/LocalActingWEO]

It is possible but you gotta be careful on entry. Very nice save though, only slightly over the white line too!

[u/LooseAsk8454]

superb save bro

[u/Jaded_Towel6081]

Nah that's just the ferrari being shit

[u/sgdynamo_1953]

Crazy good save there

[u/Zavii_HD]

Good catch

[u/Left-Walrus6577]

That's a crazy impressive save man!

Great driving

[u/bulletrhli]

The physics look better here then in pretty much any of the last ones lol

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/bulletrhli]

I'd say generally they're pretty good, especially if you're on controller, although it does lean more towards the arcade side than pure sim

[u/zonda747]

Mama aint raise no bitch. Go back around and take that MF flat with DRS open NOW

[u/Fritzerbacon]

Nice save!

[u/AaronsLifeGame]

ooo memories f1 '12

[u/JimmieTheGent]

Nice save 🙌🏻

[u/Pure_Way_7930]

What a save 🗿💀

[u/bigknight47]

It is possible, but you need to be very gentle with the steering. For me, it's about 50-50 of either making it or spinning out xD

[u/Conscious_Wait_5384]

Vettel actually did this IRL

[u/TracyMcGrady0127]

Senna: Yes you can drift like that

[u/Fishy-King]

In this version is actual pov easier

[u/Norman8ply]

Nice save 😎

[u/Fit_Recognition5963]

I know I’m gonna look stupid, but what is DRS? And while I’m at it, 130R? Thanks

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/Fit_Recognition5963]

DRS is drag reduction system, where the flap in the rear wing opens for better top speed. Now in F1 you can only use it in DRS detection zones but back in 2012 it could be used anywhere on track in practice and qualifying sessions.

130R is the name of the fast left corner at the end of this clip

[u/Fit_Recognition5963 → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

Thank you!

[u/huangcjz → u/Fit_Recognition5963]

130R is the name of a corner at Suzuka Circuit.

[u/zward0522]

130R isn't a DRS zone...am I crazy? I swear the only DRS zone at Suzuka is the start/finish straight.

[u/SpeedieSamantha98 → u/zward0522]

This was back in 2012 when you could use the DRS anywhere on track during practice and qualifying

[u/zward0522 → u/SpeedieSamantha98]

Kinda makes me want to go back and play 2010 just to try unlimited DRS.

[u/juniortifosi → u/zward0522]

DRS introduced 2011 season onwards.
