When the tyre wars was in full swing in 2006, there were several different versions of Bridgestone, as Ferrari had their own bespoke tyres that they only got. Other Bridgestone teams got tyres that were not as good as what Ferrari were using.(I'm not referring to compounds like soft , medium and hard. The whole construction of the tyre was completely different for Ferrari) In the end, Michelin were the better tyre. Everyone got the same spec of tyre and the drivers could push hard every lap and the tyres would still offer loads of grip and they were not fragile like the current tyres are in F1. I think it was 2006 when there were only 6 cars on the grid using Bridgestones and each team had their own version.
+Harry Verolme (TPT) Debateable. 2005 of course it was Michelin. 2006 it didn't really matter. The only reason Ferrari, Midland and Super Aguri were the ones on Bridgestones is because Ferrari paid Bridgestone an absurd amount of money to develop tyres that would suit the Ferrari, And the Ferrari alone.
+Tom _F1_ well, I'm just going by who won the championships at the time. Ferrari was rather competitive, but it wasn't without a reason that most teams had Michelins.
The aggression of your warm up affects the grip of your tires. You can still get them up to temp without thrashing them. Also if you turn stability to medium or low you get rid of a lot of the understeer. That being said you have to make some set up changes because I think your car will swap ends a lot.
He has to do Season 1 all over again to change difficulty and race lenght. So he had to do it on Hard and with maybe 30% Race distance in a Toro Rosso, Midland or Aguri again.

+GamingStaR Nope you can't. I never played championship edition. Only 06 on PS2. And it's basicly tge same game. Also Ben already has restarted this season at the beginning ofcthe career mode to change race distance. He drove Melbourne again but offscreen.
Put the traction control on 3 for the race, you're wearing out your rear tyres more and losing time through the exit of slower corners due to wheelspin.
Just to note that on hard difficulty it is much harder to even get offered a second driver contract for any of the teams. Passing the targets in an okay way only gets you test driver roles, for race driver contracts you need to destroy the test targets by more than 1 second, probably around 1.5 seconds to be sure. Also, downforce makes a big difference for top speeds and a slight compromise will help the balance out the differences in engines. It is also possible to get punctures (shown by visual tire wobbling) if you make light wheel contact too many times, and you can tell the engine health from the car indicator.
In 2006, the Michelins were really good in qualy, they got they pace and the grip much faster than the Bridgestones. The Ferraris were, until 2005, the only top team to fit the Bridgestones, and they used to struggle in qualy and at the beginning of the races until they got the grip. The positive point was that the Bridgestones were almost custom designed for them, as the other two teams to have them, until 2005, were Jordan and Minardi.
The gap between the Michelin's and Bridgestone's in 2006 was really close. If I remember correctly the first half of 2006 Michelin were superior and then Bridgestone came fighting back in the second half of that year, which was different to previous seasons where Bridgestone in particular had the advantage or 2005 where Michelin spanked them everywhere except Indianapolis. So put simply either tyre choice will be okay given how even they were in 06.
Funny that you mention Parabolica as being deceiving in this game. I picked up F1 2012 years ago and used Monza as my test track. Parabolica ALWAYS caught me out; either I was too slow going into it or the back end would spin me around. Turns out I just really suck at driving in these games!
bridgestone tailored made their tires for ferrari (schumacher in particular) in real-life for most of the early 2000's whereas michelin supplied multiple top teams (Williams, Mclaren, Renault). I don't know if there are any differences between tire manufacturers in-game. in general tires were made to be driven fast and on their limits so no dropping over cliffs.
before next season, take a break and play random races with Matt, Harry and AARAV (sorry for putting Noble lol) on 2015 say, maybe actually FINISH 'Drive Till -the- -tyres- you explode' lol Also, are you doing a 2012 career mode now after 11?
The used tyre compound doesn't really make a difference. The cars using Michelins overcome the ones using Bridgestones because most of the back markers use the Bs and two out of three of the fastest teams use the Ms.
Don't look too much into the tyres in the top 10. It would have been an equal split in the top 10 had Schumi's engine not gone and you hadn't assassinated Massa
Depends on the circuit in terms of tire type. There are more Michelin than Bridgestone teams. I think Michelin are slightly softer compounds so run faster but it can differ between circuits. Personally I prefer the Michelin teams.
Bridgestone! All you need to remember is the US Grand Prix in 2005. Yes I know that's a year earlier than this game. But Bridgestone was the best back then. Period!
Hey Ben, do you know that you can change the gearing on your car to get a better top speed. Just remember that lower values = higher top speed & higher values = better acceleration.
IRL Michelin used to be overall the better tyres in 2005-2006 seasons, expecially 2005, because they took temperature way sooner than Bridgestone. Schumacher maybe could have made 6th WDC in a row in 2005 but managed to win only 1 race (the controversial USA gp), although Ferrari F2005 was a good car, maybe not competitive as previous years, but still amongst the best. Bridgestone tyres were just terrible, you can compare them to the Pirelli Hards nowadays instead Michelin were like Softs, but still durable. In the middle of the season Bridgestone tested new tyres, much softer and well performing in short stints. Schumacher at that point was extremely fast in the 1st part of the race (even got a pole in Hungary missing from 14 races), but due to the fact that in 2005 tyres changes were abolished during pitstops, those tyres became trash after 20 laps. In 2006 the difference between M and B was still there, but less significant. In the game you see more Michelin cars in the top 10 just because those cars are faster than many of the Bridgestone ones.
Are you playing with the setup at all? You should have put your gears up further so when in the slipstream you could've got a better run and not max out your revs which hurts the engine and straight line. Also, the AI like to dive down the inside unless you block the inside line into a corner, other wise when you turn in they like to smash into the back of you.
1. No extreme strategy is op. It's better to take more fuel in beginning but not full tank. 2. Michelin was clearly better in '05. In '06 Bridgestone managed to tie the gap which gave Ferrari a chance to compete with the Renault. So not a huge difference there.
dont know which tyre is better, but only ferrari, and the backmarkers (toro rosso, super aguri, midland) used them. and as both ferraris retired, you were the only competitive bridgestone runner
Hey Ben, go to a team that's not around anymore and somewhat competitive (like Honda, Toyota or BMW - I know they're BMW Sauber but still feels different to me)!
ben, since you need to sign with another team to do season 2, why dont you do season 2 doing quick races with quali so you can customize it as you want?
At the time Michelin was better but, not by much 2006. season was a bit closer than 2005 when Michelins were OP. Anyway Renault, Ferrari were the top dogs of the season. Honda and McLaren were somewhere up there also, and behind Toyota and BMW-Sauber.
You should up the difficulty after this season, that should sort out most of the AI problems. Although I'm pretty sure you have to restart the whole career mode to do that :S
Hey Ben, would you consider doing an F1 2014 modded season in place of F1 2011? I would enjoy realistic damage, aggressive AI, and the 1979/1994/or UA-camr Mod.
The difference between the tyre manufacturers doesn't have a impact on the game, but if you really want the better compound from real life I should choose Bridgestone.
Turn the difficulty up and they will brake properly
Ben: we just avoided crashing out there.
Klien: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.

It was 2005 us gp
yay! the disaster races is back! hahahah nice vid ben!
+Nicolas Lopes nice
YES!!!! CHENEEEEEEEEESE GRAND PROC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly
BEN! you forgot to say it!
At that point it was definitely Michelin. I think it was only Ferrari and the backmarkers that drove on Bridgestone tires, so yeah..
+Harry Verolme (TPT) Debateable. 2005 of course it was Michelin. 2006 it didn't really matter.

toyota was also on Bridgestones
saturn185
Don't think so, i have 2006 on DVD and i don't recall them using Bridgestones

Do series 2 with McLaren, longer races and a higher difficulty!
Agree !
He has to do Season 1 all over again to change difficulty and race lenght. So he had to do it on Hard and with maybe 30% Race distance in a Toro Rosso, Midland or Aguri again.

I don't think I've laughed so much during a career mode video LMAOOOO

THE RED BULL CAME LIKE A TORPEDO!
man, that overtake in Button remember Max Verstappen overtake in Ericsson at the same corner, great Chinese GP and great series

I don't know if there are any differences between tire manufacturers in-game. in general tires were made to be driven fast and on their limits so no dropping over cliffs.
Another tip: traction control on 1 for formation lap for weaving, but then put it up to 3 to help corner exits
I'm about to start playing F1 2014 (previously only played '99-'02', 2005, 2006 and 2010), and I'm genuinely nervous about meeting Maldonado on track.
before next season, take a break and play random races with Matt, Harry and AARAV (sorry for putting Noble lol) on 2015 say, maybe actually FINISH 'Drive Till -the- -tyres- you explode' lol
Also, are you doing a 2012 career mode now after 11?
harry and noble is the same person
***** ya
Harry is Noble
+Allflattious Sorry lol I'm a cunt
+Count Fisco language James...
the bridgestones took longer to heat up and grip, the Michelin's heated and griped up faster, but they started to wear earlier
Sorry to say that, but it was your fault at BOTH Accidents on Monza...

I'd say Michelin however the strengths and weaknesses are slightly different depending on certain scenarios like weather, conditions and circuits.
Depends on the circuit in terms of tire type. There are more Michelin than Bridgestone teams. I think Michelin are slightly softer compounds so run faster but it can differ between circuits. Personally I prefer the Michelin teams.
I loved this game i'm so glad you did a playthrough!!
love how difficult this series is
Losing a part of the nose helped me a lot in the straights. It did cost me some time in the corners though
Bridgestone! All you need to remember is the US Grand Prix in 2005. Yes I know that's a year earlier than this game. But Bridgestone was the best back then. Period!
Hey Ben, do you know that you can change the gearing on your car to get a better top speed. Just remember that lower values = higher top speed & higher values = better acceleration.
mostly even between both tyre manufacturers
Revenge for Button hitting you in qualifying in Monaco.
Awesome stuff with the video Tiametmarduk.
Michelin were the stronger dry compound tyre but Bridgestone were really OP in the wet
1:04-1:07 But there's a video series in that. "Drive Till The Engine Explodes!"
Who remembers that crazy 2005 United States Grand Prix where only the "Bridgestone" users were allowed to race? They were only 6 cars in that race.
09:10 Barrichello getting hit like Tom Coronel in WTCC, Race 1 in 2015. He's out for Race 2
This must be why Alonso gets engine failure after engine failure now, he saved up all bad karma from his early career.
Ben if u could just take ur time in the warm up laps that way cars in front of u will lose heat in their tire n u will get a beastly start
got hit with a large dose of karma there Ben ;)
+Bezza yes Bezza lad watching Ben's vids
You mean kvyat
Kyvat took someone out once be quiet
+Wavy Handles I've literally seen you crying to everyone that makes a kvyat joke like damn calm down fam don't get too upset
+Wavy Handles everything will b ok
+Wavy Handles unless you're kvyat
+Wavy Handles whats your opining About max Verstappen Swaps with kvyat
amazing to think these times are slower than the 2015cars
Check your E-mails and recruitment messages. You actually have on recruitment message already.
Go Honda next season, Michelin tyres
+Allflattious nope still to easy better red bull
Last time I was this early, ultra mod wasn't scripted
Ben, if you want the AI to break later put the difficulty up and they will. You can also stop breaking like a mad man..
+jp27fcp Can't do it mid season.
+flyhighpizzapie Can't do it for the entire Career Mode actually. To change difficulty, he has to restart the Career Mode, from Season 1.
I know but he should restart the career mode next season. Make this a season 0, next one starts for real
Ikr, the amount of broken car parts is crazy in this series.
Oh wait, you weren't talking about "breaking" :trollface:
Jelle Soeffers Autocorrect bro xD
my opinion is go with Bridgestone tyres because i think they're the best ones in terms of grip and longevity
i guess its your car set up that makes you slower on the straights but faster in curves
Good job today Pastor :)
Alonso absolutely destroying everyone
Benjamin Maldonado
Sounds great!

When you got retired look at the lap counter lol
Kvyat + Maldonado = Tiametmarduk + XmattyG
Ren Hazuki was also used to be like Maldonado in F1 06.😅
Michelin are generally the better tyre, but the bridgestones are much better in the wet
Alonso is Nobel2909 of this series.
you forgot to turn on the traction control and the abs
Can you change your gearing? Ur in the limiter for ever
5:09 revenge for monaco qualifying
That Red Bull was Kvyat!
Michelin tyres are better in the start of the race but bridgestone are good with the tyre wear.
the thing i dont understand iw why fisichella is so down on the clasification having a damn Renault.
I believe the michelin tires were the OP tires back then

i always drive with michelin tyres, i don´t think there is a big difference between the two types
Check your setups if you want to be more competitive in some tracks(monza being the most obvious example)
Ben. You need to make more playlist. A playlist foor F1 2006 Career and Nascar
Why michael schumacher didt dnf in that last race... His engine blew up
Don't you burn throught the fuel at the end? Meaning that at the end everyone will have the same amount of fuel
If you go central/right on the straights they won't go past as easily
Should have made your gears longer.
I think it's pretty fair that you also retired from the race after what you did to Button ;)
Really the TC was used at very low speed, not for all the time.
The Toro Rosso is so underpowered in this game. Even with a rev limited V10 engine
Hey Ben, go to a team that's not around anymore and somewhat competitive (like Honda, Toyota or BMW - I know they're BMW Sauber but still feels different to me)!
You can´t adjust gear ratio in this game? Straight Lines are cuting rpm redline on last gear...
Ben I think you should do another season of this and then something on f1 2013 classics :)
its because you are playing on normal or low difficulty
ben, since you need to sign with another team to do season 2, why dont you do season 2 doing quick races with quali so you can customize it as you want?
At the time Michelin was better but, not by much 2006. season was a bit closer than 2005 when Michelins were OP. Anyway Renault, Ferrari were the top dogs of the season. Honda and McLaren were somewhere up there also, and behind Toyota and BMW-Sauber.
Ben, once when I played this only 5 finished
Dat short 7th gear though!
Your incredible sloppiness gets boring...
In real life michelin was the better tire for dry conditions and bridgestones for wet
Put the 6 gear in 7,2 and 7 gear in 6,7
You know you can change to soft tyres in the setup menu?
Michelin tires was way better then the Bridgestone.
That came outta nowhere
Brigestone had harder tyre compound compared to Michelin
You should up the difficulty after this season, that should sort out most of the AI problems. Although I'm pretty sure you have to restart the whole career mode to do that :S
Hey Ben, would you consider doing an F1 2014 modded season in place of F1 2011? I would enjoy realistic damage, aggressive AI, and the 1979/1994/or UA-camr Mod.
