First season at Virgin is going well. Just finished Silverstone weekend, finished 9th so got a couple of points, qualified 11th but couldn’t really progress in the race. Loving the game, I am playing on the hardest AI difficulty – legend – and find some tracks harder to master than others. Valencia was tough, finished last with a pit-lane speeding penalty after qualifying 23rD! Yet in Montreal I qualified on pole by 0.2secs and finished 2nd in the race. Hamilton overtook me, my prime tyres weren’t as good as the options.
However, I race with automatic gearbox and full traction control, which obviously makes things easier.
I am wondering how much faster you can go without these if you can master them? Anybody know?
Cheers
I think driving with all assists off definitely is a big improvement in time. You feel like you're more in control of the car, if you know what I mean. But of course, there is a slight learning curve for feathering the throttle as you come out of corners, or you'll spin.Quote:

I guess one can go faster with only traction control on, because then you won't have to be so cautious coming out of corners. But using manual gears is definitely a clear advantage.
I've heard the Formula 1 2010 game is full of bugs and glitches and that its not worth buying, is this true???

For me personally the bugs annoyed me at first because I was expecting perfection (Wrongly), but once I had it a few days it was great. Enjoy it for all the things right with it as aposed to the few problems.
Cheers, i'll be getting it some time soon :DQuote:

I race without fuel simulation. I don't think fuel burn on the A.I is caculated right.Quote:

So gimmie a weeks practise and;
It. Is. On.
:D
no it is not- qualified 14th in a Lotus- could keep up with them for a few laps and then just lose touch with them as soon as I complete a pit stop- I can drive perfect laps and be nowhere near themQuote:

oh and is there a way you can retire from a race (without blowing an engine or crashing heavily)
