Yeah David Croft mentioned something about "recording for the new game" on Twitter the other day, assume that's for the 'reporter' bits that he does.

I think the game should have Martin Brundle interviewing you on the grid before the start of the race.

Martin:'So, did you see the presentation for Michael Schumacher at the start of the race?'

Answer:
(A) 'Yeah, he's a great driver. I'm inspired by him.'

(B) 'No, I am focussing on my own race'

(C) 'I was having a sh!t'

I'm not going to pre-order F1 2011 like I did with F1 2010. This time I'm going to wait AT LEAST a month before even thinking of buying this. If it has the same amount of bugs as F1 2010, then it would be money wasted.

I think inevitably with these sorts of games where you get a 2010, 2011, 2012 version unless the studio is intent on getting it right first time the it's not worth buying as you always get something half baked and it's only worth playing just before the new version comes out.

Are your speeeds in mph or kmh? If mph then you are lightning fast through the gears. I can barely get up to 220 on the long straight at spa and monza

It's obviously KPH. I don't think any F1 car can reach 200 MPH in 3rd gear. :D

So I finally got the game via steam/PC and find it odd that there seems to be hardly anyone online playing
anyway my handle is JTDiesel72 and am looking for any folks out there to be added as a friend or joining some community or something.

Anyway, game is fun, just getting the hang of it and still using a few assists but tonight I'll start testing with fewer assists to see how it goes.
Also using a gamepad and not a wheel yet

cheers

Well online racing isn't all that great in this game anymore. Too many people just ram each other off the track, and I was also finding that everyone was finding "magic" setups and suddenly you were 4sec a lap off the pace and there is nothing fun about running around on your own. In short, lots of nonsense in this game has put a lot of people off of online racing.

I know what you mean about the banger racing, some people just dont bother to stop for corners or go for over takes from miles back! The best thing ive found to do is to move out the way at the start and let everyone pile into the first corner and make up places that way without being wiped out.

Dont get me started on Forza 3 though, online on that winds me right up!
