Hot Engine Temp

[Kampfnudel]

Hy everytime when i start a new session, the engine temp start with 117 degrees.
That is not logic. When i start the first outlap, then i expect a low temperature, not a overheating engine.
Has anyone the same problem?

The lights go out and my engines are already overheating!
It's ridiculous how they didn't test the game...

Because they know stupid people will preorder it anyway. so why work on it? Toss out any old buggy crap.

The engine is warmed up in the garage in F1. In the game, I think they just show the temp that it would have out at the track. It is tied to ambient temperature, I'm doing P1 at Jeddah and the air temp is >30C, so the engine runs hot. You can run with higher temps but it degrades the engine faster. For practice, turn down the engine.

Maybe someday we'll get the ability to run more louvers on the engine cover at a cost of more drag.

at the start of the game the cars are pretty much trash so yeah engine cooling% is probably low, I started with a 2 star car (ranked 17-19th across the board grid wise) and I have like 31% engine cooling only...

Your engine overheats before the first 50 meters?

yep it started overheated, likely due to just sitting there on the grid like in real life lol, once I got going it settled down after a few laps

Like you all I have downloaded the Game yesterday. I could download it in the very very late evening, so I haven´t finisched my first Race yet.

The biggest Difference in the 2024-Version to the Predecessors (2022 / 2023) are the cool realistic mechanical Problems, which Red Bull and Alpine have in real F1 have atm.

What the Engine-Degrees belongs, that´s normal. The Technicans which work on the Cars warm up the Engine before the Drive get allowed to get in and dirve. The Technicans for the Cars warm up the Engine with intent some Degrees more.

After the Cars drive normal (Standard, Light and Lighter), the Temperature goes down a little bit to normal Working-Temp (about 106 to 110 Degrees).

It´s like as you driving with your personal Car. There you have to drive some Miles normal to bring it on normal Working-Temp. Then you can give more Power. In Motorsport the Drivers have their Car-Technicans to Warm up the Engine.

Hmm my engine was normal temp when the race at Bahrain started. Didnt have heating issues at all during the race till the last 5 laps when I had my drivers fighting for 19th and 20th. But I am running a full custom team with a new car design.

the cars rely on airflow to be cooled down, when they stand still or driving really slow, they basicly dont get cooled.
