Hi my Name is Patrick and i am the WR holder for F1 2015-F1 2018. Today i tried running the Any% category for F1 2019, and at first i really liked it, that you dont have to race at all the curcuits, because it brings the element of Strategy into the mix.

But! After running it for like 6 Hours (multiple runs), i found a few problems with it.

The Biggest Problem is that this run is 85-90% RNG. Because:

• you loose about a minute+ each time you get given a rain race. -> even if you skip the track and drive another track instead you would still over all loose time because we dont drive the longest tracks....
• Winning the Championship is a nice goal for a speedrun, but it implies that you have to beat AI. And the AI will finish every Race diffrent from run to run.... -> This means i had to drive Abu Dhabi, and wait for Bottas to crash him out because i couldn't have won the Championship otherwise, altough scoring the same amount of points as WR (390 = 15*25+15(FL)) (he had 384 Points before the last race) -So i lost a lot of time to this, and it wasn't even my fault.

Please don't think that i am only salty because i didnt beat the WR, wince using no Assist im considerably slower, so i wasn't really expecting to beat it. I Don't even think it is a bad category! because of the element of strategy and crashing on purpose could mix up runs, what i am concerned with is: that this is main category of the game, and it has not much to do with the skill of the person.

I will upload the run anyway although loosing 15 min in last split xD. As i said im not salty because i didnt get WR, i m salty because i think its more RNG then anything which it wasn't for the past few years. If i could have had a clean race, i would still be Third in the standings, so it is really not because i didnt get WR.

If you disagree/ agree with me, please let me know. And i don't know if you guys knew that the speedrunners from last years game made a discord server for F1 Speedrunning :D https://discord.gg/tzjrgT

I have nothing against In_Sanity, but at his run in Mexico he had an extremly open defintion of track limits in Turn 1. I just wanted to ask, because i thought it was a 1Lap%, but without corner Cutting, altough the game didnt realise i think it shouldnt count, cause i can't even redo it, because i always get a penalty just for leaving the track....
