I'm really looking forward to Friday, off work to collect it from HMV

So, F1 2011 comes out tomorrow. I'm pre-loaded and ready to rock. Who's with me?? I'll be starting up a Co-op Championship with my buddy. Looking forward to it.

Feel free to add me.

I have it preloaded too, I'll add you once I'm home, and I have to find someone for co-op

Let us over here know how it goes guys

First impressions are that the game looks much better, high resolution textures do most of that. I could feel the car more and anticipate spins better, the cars are much harder to push, my wheel (G27) settings were completely off from the 2010 settings. The values have changed considerably for the wheel, and I still haven't found the best settings yet. With the DRS and Kers the game is much more fun, and if I used the DRS any more then a straight it would do the same thing as in life, I accidentally tried taking the eau rouge with DRS and landed up in the barriers

I have it on PC and with everything cranked up my system wasn't getting the framerates I was expecting, I have 2 6950's (unlocked) in crossfire for 1920x1200, but the fps was around 30-40 mark, so the drivers aren't optimized as yet.

Here's a preview from one of the lucky ones:

I think I'm feeling.....sick.....cough....cough. Man, I wanna go home right now.

Guys are saying the car is much more alive and you do a Maldonado if you hit the DRS in the middle of the turn, so it's encouraging. Setups are about the same. We get a fuel mixture button this time around. I have a dial on my Logitech DFGT just waiting for it

Looks great, thanks for the opinions guys.

looks good
will probably get it in the next week or so

Have they added a proper replay system that look like a TV replay and inboards for 2011?
have they added a race save or lap save function that can export properly?

Got it. Won Malaysia in a Williams. Stoked as hell already with this. I just wish they would have bonus cars from different eras of the sport as rewards.

No & No, from what I have seen so far, but the car itself seems much more on the edge, its much harder to push the car. I drove a F2000 a couple weeks back, and I felt a lot of similarity in how delicate the cars feel in reality and in this game.

Btw this could also be because I still haven't found the best wheel settings yet

Unfortunately in F1 2011 people are finding tons of bugs and the laps times are way off from real life again. I guess they care more about making money off F1 than quality. Dont get me wrong, still a cool game, but just a slap in the face that they continue releasing games riddled with bugs etc.
