F1 2011 How do i trigger an engine failure?

[Kimi450]

I am playing the game for 1 day and i havent experienced a engine failure, does anyone know how can i get one

Too high revs. I had one round Canada earlier. Its just f*cking epic. I set my gear ratios up wrong i suppose and it just blew. You just ned to rev the engine. It blows quite fast tbh

 

[Kimi450]

I dont use manual gear box ( dont know how o, too tough for me ) Is that the only way to have a blow

 

[Jay Jones]

It sometimes just happens. I have done a whole season, and it blew once.Tbh, you dont want your engines blowing. You only have 8

Not in carrier mode in gp mode, i want to see the fire blow from it. soooooooo curious btw how can i turn penalties off in the game ( sorry for offtopic question )

ive not had an engine failure but i have had a DRS failure in qualifying. Luckily i was able to use it again a short time later but scary none the less when your after a decent hot lap.

 

[Kimi450]

how did you get it ( over use or what and in which lap )

How to get an engine blow up:===> Drive on the pit straight at high speed (preferably top of 7th gear) and shift down super fast to gear 1...TA-DAA! your engine just blew up!

Hope this helped

I tried it on canada straight but it doesnt shift from 7 to 1 it shift from 7 to 5 or 4.... WHY !?!?!

Turn all assists off,and when you down shift keep your foot floored on the gas =)

Well it did it but there was no fire blow behind just plain smoke

could be graphics settings, I haven't seen any fire yet and I've blown 3 engines.

I play with everything on low

 

[Kimi450]

No special effect or particle effect thing is on very high ( TOP MOST )

 

[Kimi450]

I DID IT !!!!

 

[John Robertson]

hahaha very silly but it does look great
