Hey Ben here is a tipp for future races: When the Red and Yellow Striped Flag is out keep you eye on the Track ahead of you, because this is the easiest way to spot oil on the track from an engine failure
Tiametmarduk the button combination for the pit stops get inverted depending on what side of the main straight the boxes are. if the boxes are on the right part of the main straight it will be like the ones you have done by the moment. but in tracks like monaco, canada, turkey...etc, the pits are on the left side of the main straight so the button conbination gets inverted.
i'll give you the commands: BOX ON THE RIGHT SIDE: front wing: triangle rear wing: X tyres: R1, L1, R2, L2. fuel: circle release: square. BOX ON THE LEFT SIDE: front wing: triangle rear wing: X tyres: R1, L1, R2, L2 here comes the change. fuel: square. release: circle
Ben this is so far the best series your doing so far. I have been a lifetime fan of f1 considering I am 23. I completely forgot how good the games were back then and even rules and regulations back then too. Well done again pal, big fan over here in Wales!!
Proud of you Ben finally using Traction Control properly, Idea for a video you can edit the grids in single races, Monaco with Ferrari/Renault/Mclarens at the back
Hey Ben. Just a quick tip, as someone who played this game religiously for year, on the start, if you quick shift up to the second and third gear almost immediately, you get a massive launch and can basically jump at least 2-3 cars ahead. Not sure if thats a fair system, but just in case you run into a problem in qualifying, the quick shift method always works like a charm.
In the formation lap you have to press accelerator and brake at the same time to heat the front tyres. When you are waiting in the grid, the more you accelerate, the more your tyres cool down, so accelerate at the last moment. I don't know why this happens, but it's just that way in the game.
I keep thinking you are driving completely wrong and going into every corner miles too fast and understeering like crazy, but then I remember that that was actually the winning driving technique in 2006. I really wish I could play this game, it looks amazing, and liking the videos :)
Codemasters should be embarrassed watching this...a game ten years old shits on any of the games they've made. Features like mechanical failures and oil on circuit, formation laps, the damage, the aggressiveness of the AI...this game was obviously ahead of its time.
Braking hard used to be a really good way of generating heat into your tyres, You can make it so if you weave and brake hard alot, that you do preserve some heat
Hi Ben, Fantastic videos as always. Just a few pointers going forward! Tweaking your set-up and spending the time to do so in FP1-FP3 can really pay dividends! A lot of performance can be unlocked. Tailoring your Aero and engine settings to each track works a treat as well. Also I noticed your suspension was 14, 14, that's too stiff for the kerbs, if you lower them that should help you when it comes to kerbs. Also you can choose your tyre compounds as well in the setup options, the softer tyre should help! I have played over 500 hours on the PS2 version, its a lovely game and great to see it on your channel!
Ben, I've played this game a lot in 2010 it was I think. Next time on the parade lap, put it in 1st, go full on the accelerator and hard on the brakes. You'll lock up the wheels which'll heat up the tyres. This won't affect tyre wear seen as this is only affected in the race! Heated up tyres give you a much quicker start!
just a Tip for The pit stop strategy: put The fuel to More than half (for example 12lap race- > pit at lap 7 or 8) if you press select (it was the select button on PSP..should be simular on ps3) you can ASK for an early stop...that way you can check how you perform and See if you can keep The tieres alive for More then half The race and pit Situationable (around lap 4-8 depending in how well you re doing/traffic/car DMG/pace)
You have to do what real-life F1 drivers do in Q3 back in the day - burn as much fuel as possible throughout most parts of Q3 and set a fast final flying lap near the end of the session! IIRC in Q3 you can still complete your flying lap even when the timer reach zero. Meanwhile, in-universe, Ben gets laughed at for crashing almost every single time and complaining about "kerbs" every single time. Then at 15:13 he made the overtake of the year.
on the warmup laps brake and accelerate at the same time it will lock the front heating them up and spin the rear heating them up it will also warm up the brakes
8 ปีที่แล้ว
If you want to go on an aggresive strategy, bear in mind that the time, there was refuelings at pitstops and that the Q3 was done with the fuel for the first stint. So you might go and try to put less fuel in your car for the Q3, you'll also have a lighter car for the start of the race, good to make up positions. Or you might just go the exact opposite !
If you are confident of getting into Q3, set your race strat such that you pit earlier, as it will mean your car is lighter during Q3. Not sure how the extra laps on the second stint will affect your tires, but these aren't Pirellis with significant degradation.
That ride hieght is loco! I always ran 14mm on this track. If you want more speed, highly recommend looking up car tunes for each track. The game saves your tunes for each track
4:51 I love this game, but you can tell like your first or second video that the track layouts aren't as mapped as well compared to later games. The two roads that are suppose to connect to the 13-mile track are missing. Edit: also, you need to give the front some space, get some speed, then brake hard while weaving to get the tire temps up. Weaving only lessens the decrease in temp at least in this game.
Yeah Tiamet said that the first video but you can really tell on that bird's-eye view. Doesn't matter, totally nostalgic of playing and those Alonso/Schumi seasons.
+amillwardmusic yeah the tracks are a little inaccurate that said the lighting in this game shits all over any other console f1 game it's simply stunning still codies could learn something from it for f1 2016
Haven't played this in years but from memory if you take off ABS and TC on the formation lap and hold down both accelerator and brake your tyres will get to 99 by the start of the race, hopefully that works.
For strategy, do a no-stop on 20% races. Go as long a stint as the game lets you in Q3/race, and just save a little bit of fuel through the race. Beware the tyre wear though!
If you would like to watch some old seasons get on daily motion and search for Johann Alboretto, he has 96, 02, 03, 05, 07, 08, 09 if I remember correctly. They are all Australian broadcasts with ITV commentary.
Strategywise, there no undercut. There is the overdue. The use of the tyres will be overdone by the lack of fuel so the one staying out longer usually wins in the pitstops. So reverse to what we have now.
3:37 - that was part of the strategy. Do you be agressive and have a light fuel load to get on pole or do you brim it and start further back but go much longer or on one less stop. I liked refuelling. Im guessing Max v's dad doesnt! (Bit of history for those too young to know what the hell im talkin about, search 'Jos Verstappen Pit stop 1994 German GP'.... bad, v.bad.)
You can restart races. You have to save the career before the race and if you crash then exit the career without saving and load the save from just before the race and you can have a second attempt
Ben you can press both circle triangle and cross button in the same time with your thumb on your ps3 controller ! You'll gain some precious time for your pitstop :)
When Champ edition came out, Playstation3 magazine reviewed it and said that the game was Soulless.But I think Champ edition has matured with age, it`s a lot better than Codemaster`s last efforts at F1 games.
Ben i have an advice for you that will make you seconds quicker. Try reducing the camber as much as possible (both front and rear cambers to the minimum). Similarly increase the ride height near the maximum. This works for all the long circuits. Good Luck!! :)
Ben if you search on yuotube for "f1 2006 qualifying" you can find full qualifying sessions. Also dailymotion has a lot of videos, including full qualifying as well, but also races and training sessions from 2005 to 2009. It's well worth watching for those who were fans to remeber the good old days of the v10 engines and the first years of the v8, and for people like you that didn't follow f1 back on these days
if you're using a controller, when you turn in, don't back out, or use choppy steering, it throws you to the kerbs and will for sure spin you out. Above all, if you're using a D-Pad, don't, use the joy sticks
Can't remember fully how to heat your tires on the formation lap but turning off the transaction control and wheel spinning heats the back tires and braking hard so you skid warms the front tires. This was ten years ago when I was playing the game on the PS3.
As a F1 fan of old, I think you should look for a 2006 season review :) It's both useful to get to know what was going on during this season and it's really entertaining, it was a great season :) I hope this helps!
Hey Ben if you prefer accelerating and braking with the triggers it is possible to change the controls in the options menu. Personally I play this game with a xbox 360 controller via an adapter. Thanks for a good series and loads of entertaining videos.
I'm hoping for a second season with a better Team (or a third with ~maybe~ in one of the top teams) that would be awesome. This game has not to hide from todays .
That's one of the quickest retirements BANG
They should remaster this game for PS4. Then again, it's an old game.
+Chinese Madafaka they should make it backwards compatable with PS4 atleast!
+Tiametmarduk or studio Liverpool take over the f1 license for 2017. If they still exist that is.
+Melvyn Davies They don't exist anymore
+Chinese Madafaka For PC too
***** I think it was a PS3 exclusive, so I'm not sure they would do that. But it's possible if they did it.
"This is one of the fastest retirements..." - Ben crashes out.. xD
Hey Ben here is a tipp for future races: When the Red and Yellow Striped Flag is out keep you eye on the Track ahead of you, because this is the easiest way to spot oil on the track from an engine failure
+Pascal Eifel also when you see this flag you have to move away from the racing line immediately otherwise you will probably spun

when a game 10 years old is better than the one of this year :P
yup... I have f1 2006 and more intense than f1 2015... more stuff... more fun... and the AI didn't give any fuck which is I like.
But this years F1 is the best ever 👌🏼
It is better than F1 2018
I'm surprised they haven't pulled a Kvyat on you. Except, you'd not go from RB to TR, but from TR to the bin..
:)
I don't think that can happen in the f1 games
+Commander Videogames I know Commander. Jokes..
also torro Rosso is the lowest for red bull
+Harry Verolme (TPT) TR to Formula Renault XD
be careful for the pit stop at monaco, the buttons for that pit lane are inverted.
+alexF1-2005 what >.>
Tiametmarduk the button combination for the pit stops get inverted depending on what side of the main straight the boxes are.
if the boxes are on the right part of the main straight it will be like the ones you have done by the moment.
but in tracks like monaco, canada, turkey...etc, the pits are on the left side of the main straight so the button conbination gets inverted.
i'll give you the commands:

Ever play F1 Challenge 99-02?
In the formation lap i suggest you push the brake and the gas pedal at the same time to warm up the tires
Sorry for my bad english
+Luca F1 i know but dont do it whole time do it like every 2 or 3 turns
yeah, you re right, on this game when you lock up the front wheels and press the gas Button, the tires warm up to 99

Proud of you Ben finally using Traction Control properly,
Idea for a video you can edit the grids in single races, Monaco with Ferrari/Renault/Mclarens at the back
BURNOUTS BURNOUTS BURNOUTS Lock your FRONT TYRES, the tyres are cold as liquid nitrogen
Ben is not going to finish in monaco ;D
How wrong you were
How to annoy the grid: qualify last and be a snail on formation lap so entire grid has cold tires
"One of the quickest retirements"... *crashes* XDD

My favorite part of this game is the in-race commentary it is priceless f1 2016 would be amazing if it had that
7:17 : "Hear that sound? It's a soul being killed."
In the formation lap you have to press accelerator and brake at the same time to heat the front tyres. When you are waiting in the grid, the more you accelerate, the more your tyres cool down, so accelerate at the last moment. I don't know why this happens, but it's just that way in the game.

Ben, staying out till after midway into the race is the best strategy. You'll have the freshest tyres.
By far my fave series
on the warmup laps brake and accelerate at the same time it will lock the front heating them up and spin the rear heating them up it will also warm up the brakes

You have an engine option to loosen up traction so you can warm up your tires at the parade lap
Strategywise, there no undercut. There is the overdue. The use of the tyres will be overdone by the lack of fuel so the one staying out longer usually wins in the pitstops. So reverse to what we have now.
7:05 let me guess, Ide spun out when trying to warm up his tyres before slotting into his grid position?
What a shame that Sony killed the father of this game : Studio Liverpool (who are the guys behind Wipeout too)
You don't need to go to the pits to set a new lap.
+Melvin Lee but he might want to get fresher tyres
+Auzcast Yeah but he should have just tried anyway since it wouldn't cost him anything .

if you want to pit in diferent lap from strategy, you have to press select button to inform your pit crew
staying out longer works better than the undercut due to having a lighter car than those who have pit and refueled
You can restart races. You have to save the career before the race and if you crash then exit the career without saving and load the save from just before the race and you can have a second attempt
Nicely done mate, can't wait until the next one (PS. I REALLY want this game)
1st formula one game I ever played and it's the best one by far was only 8 at the time loved it
If you want to do undercut in the race press the button next to the options button and the pit crew will be ready.
Ben for the pitstop you should press R1 R2 L1 and L2 all together. You waste 0.2 seconds focusing on the R1 and 2 and then pressing L1 and 2 ;)
Ben you can press both circle triangle and cross button in the same time with your thumb on your ps3 controller !
You'll gain some precious time for your pitstop :)

to warm your tires in the parade lap brake and accelerate at the same time AND steer left and right, and try to get the pack together
When I played this game in quick race mode leading a second from alonso was a pain in ass even though I drove as Michael Schumacher
Not going to lie i like this old f1 stuff more than the new ones :)
I love the real tv broadcast rev/gear/speed meter
if you're using a controller, when you turn in, don't back out, or use choppy steering, it throws you to the kerbs and will for sure spin you out. Above all, if you're using a D-Pad, don't, use the joy sticks
The realistic damage is real in F1 06
Can't remember fully how to heat your tires on the formation lap but turning off the transaction control and wheel spinning heats the back tires and braking hard so you skid warms the front tires. This was ten years ago when I was playing the game on the PS3.
I just realised that the Toro Rossos were running the older V10 engine in 2006. No wonder they sound differently than the others.
Anyone noticed that the Nordscleife is missing (i.e there are no track extra bit thingys that would go on/off the nordschleife)
Um ? Nordscheife is not in formula one dude hasn't been since the 70's
And the parts that joined onto it were covered in gravel trap back in the day

Hi Ben, this is my favourite series it's amazing! Can you keep doing episodes on this, I love it so
much!!
PLEASE KEEP THIS SERIES
CONTINUE AS AN 07 CAREER
On your warm up lap hold the break and accelerate at the same time whilst weaving
Strategy does not really matter for the race, just run with an one stop during the middle of the race and you can still win a race on this game.
Another one, another one, another one
Love the race, love the excitement. Just keep play this and I'm happy! ^^
best series ever
I love the damage on this game. So realistic and should be on F1 2016
orange and yellow flags are for oil on track after an engine failure ben.
Stoping in lap 7 or 8 in the strategy of the race
Hey Ben if you prefer accelerating and braking with the triggers it is possible to change the controls in the options menu. Personally I play this game with a xbox 360 controller via an adapter. Thanks for a good series and loads of entertaining videos.

Ben's 1:18.916 puts Hamilton's 1:22.000 to shame
"stood the test of time"nice reference to 2013
The fastest pit stop you can get is a 6.9 also be warned the anti-clockwise tracks are mirrored when in the pit stop.
That pace compared to TRL Martin's lel
loving this series!
In the formation lap use brakes and acceleration at the same time to heat up your tires!!!
TIP: To heat up your tyres hold down both the brake and the accelerator
Do more burn outs and intentionally lock up during the parade lap. It doesn't affect your tire wear and you can get them to 99s all around
Fantastic Triple Move. Never seen a move like this. :)
