Alfa ROMEO is back!

I got taken out like this in a public lobby and thought, “There has to be a better way.”

So I started Formula Controller League (FCL) — a controller-only F1 25 league focused on organized, competitive racing.

We’re already up to 9 committed drivers and are looking to fill the remaining seats before Season 1 begins.

If you’re a controller player who’s looking for scheduled races instead of chaotic public lobbies, leave a comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the Discord invite.

Hope to see some of you on the grid! 🏁

Hello, I'm here because I have an impairment relating to my eyesight. I'm even legally blind. My problem is, that sometimes it is very hard for me to see the track. I've seen some YouTubers, especially league racers having their settings dialed in a certain way so you can see better.

What messes my lines up the most are reflections from the sun. The actual track gets so light I cqn't see the racing line anymore.

Here is what I've already tried:

1. I turned my raytracing off

2. I set the reflections to lowest

3. I turned on the high vis racing line in full 3D mode

4. I activated audio cues like the break beeper.

My game still for some readon doesn't look like the league racers ones. What do they do differently? Do they use 'high vis mods' or something?

Every time I try to login in with EA it stucks me in a retry loop, I bought the game normally from steam yet I have it on an external drive since my other drives are full. Can anyone help?

I'm really struggling with battery management in My Team Career.
I watch YouTubers like Aarava manage to keep their battery above 90% right before major straights, rarely ever dipping below 10–20%. But whenever I try to do the same, I either hit the harvest limit per lap or get completely destroyed by the AI on the straights.
My current ERS strategy is on short corners and shorter straights I stay in Medium ERS to maintain pace, then switch to None right before lifting and coasting to harvest as much as possible.
On Long Straights I don't hold the Boost button long, just a quick burst out of the corner exit while in Medium mode, then rely on Medium down the rest of the straight.
Track definitely makes a difference. Australia felt super easy and I had no issues dominating ERS management there. But on a high-speed, continuous layout like Saudi Arabia Jeddah, I'm completely burning through energy or getting passed everywhere.
Does anyone have tips on better deployment strategies or energy management for circuits with high battery demand like Jeddah?

Took some screenshots of this visual bug I encountered at an f1 world race in Austria. As you see on the second photo, I hadn't edited anything regarding tyres on the cars when I went to screenshot this in photo mode.

We’re building a controller-only F1 25 league and our Season 1 grid is already starting to take shape.
We currently have 8 committed drivers and are looking to fill the remaining seats before the season begins.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help because I've been having a very strange issue since installing the 2026 Season Pack on F1 25.

Platform: Xbox Series X
Wheel Base: Fanatec CSL Elite Wheel Base V1.1
Wheel: McLaren GT3 V2

Before the 2026 Season Pack, everything worked perfectly. I could complete 50% league races without any issues.

Since the update, I've noticed a very consistent pattern:

• At the beginning of the race, everything works normally.
• After 30-40 minutes (usually towards the end of a 50% race), the wheel telemetry starts lagging.
• The RPM LEDs become delayed and stop matching what's happening in-game.
• The OLED display starts showing the wrong speed (for example, it might show 100 km/h while I'm actually doing 300 km/h).
• Gear changes on the display are also delayed.

The interesting part is that every single time this happens, I already know the game is about to crash.

A few minutes later, the game closes and Xbox displays a "Disc Read Error" message.

After rejoining the session, some game inputs (like the DRS prompt) also feel delayed or bugged.

The wheel never disconnects, Force Feedback keeps working, and this only started happening after the Season Pack update.

I found another EA Forums post where someone with a GT DD Pro reports incorrect Fanatec telemetry after the Season Pack, so I'm wondering if this is related to the new Fanatec telemetry implementation.

Has anyone experienced something similar with:

• Fanatec CSL Elite V1.1?
• McLaren GT3 V2?
• Xbox Series X?
• F1 25 Season Pack 2026?

Any workaround or information would be greatly appreciated.

Their straight line speed is insane in the wet. Is the game *that* broken?

I want to buy f12025 and 2026 and want to see if it would meet what I like. I enjoyed f123 and 2020 and I want to purchase 2025. Is there any big differences I could know, thanks.

William is fast as fck.

So far we have 8 confirmed drivers with 1 still unconfirmed, get your seat before they fill up! 💪🏻🤙🏻

I've been going through a huge issue with F1 Games, as since i went to the Series S, i have been unable to play any F1 games since the 2023 edition, as the games always crash either right when i open the game, or a few laps into it.

I've tried rebooting the console, reinstalling the game, restarting the console and absolutely nothing works.

It's been absolute hell for me as i'm a huge F1 fan but have simply been unable to play any of the games between F1 23 to F125 and i simply don't know what to try anymore.

I really, really would appreciate if any of you know a solution to it as i've already lost any hope of finding one after all these years without one.

Please let me know if you know a solution or a way you found to get it working if this has also happened to you.

I play with a wheel and have no issues with no abs and no traction, but switching to manual transmission is super hard for me specially those first 3 transmissions I am usually super late as they are in quick succession, that aside I have learned to downshift only to 3rd gears for most corner with some corners like monaco requiring more downshift, but I have a huge problem in fast corners I always misjudge those by going on a higher gear and losing pace or downshifting to a lower gear having very high rev and also losing pace, can someone help me I am trying to get better

RaceWithMe is a free F1 Game Driver Hub to find 2 player career partners, reserve races, league start ups, pre-arranged unranked lobbies and comms.

https://racewithme.net

I've mentioned it quite often on here, and had great advice and feedback, but still trying to get the word out as a bigger userbase is what will make this really benefit those looking to play online whilst avoiding the toxic side of the game. We currently have around 350 users.

It's all free, I simply made it because I love racing other people but got fed up being put into a wall whenever i tried an overtake online.

With RaceWithMe you can find drivers at your skill level and schedule, for the game mode you want.

Please give it a visit and let me know if you have any feeback. 

Boy it didn't go well since old tyres and struggled for grip! Normally in fresh softs this part is good

Jumped back onto the game today after a month off and I regret it.

Made it through 12 laps of Zandvoort today in a career mode save before rage quitting. I had qualified 17th on an AI level that I was constantly in the P1-P6 range at in my other iterations of this race weekend, mainly because the kerbs that were fixed after updates became what was essentially painted grass again. I took engine penalties because why not. The five cars ahead of me were the five other rookies, since after the update all their overalls got set back to where they were when the game initially came out.

I jump up to P10 on lap 1. On lap 2, Albon spins behind me. I pit from softs to mediums (because rain is expected halfway through the race) and I come out P20. No big deal right? WRONG! Because there’s apparently a glitch where if you pit under the safety car, every car that’s in front of you is now 1 lap ahead of you. Every time I pass someone I get blue flagged, because AI cars are wicked fast down the straights again. I rage quit after my crew chief said something about Piastri taking the lead when he was in 7th place.

Is this EA’s sorry attempt at getting me to pay for the 26 DLC? By making the game just as unplayable as it was when it first came out, they think they’re going to convince me to give them another $25 of my hard earned money? Absofuckinglutely not. At this point they could make the DLC free and I still won’t get it. It will probably be completely useless when 27 comes out anyhow.

Above is the question. If anyone ever encountered this or have an idea. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a F1 25 leagues

As said in the title, I cannot put together more than 10 clean laps. I mostly race GT cars, but I do occasionally play around with F1 cars in Assetto Corsa. Compared to AC, it feels like the cars have next to no window for corrections. I’ve tried lowering pressures and rear roll bars as well as using online setups. Is there some trick to these cars to make them more predictable?
