If you look on Youtube it seem's F1 2010 has been leaked already and you can download it with a crack :/

If this is the case then wow. How the hell has it been leaked so early? I hope it facks up peoples systems I didnt pay £20 for nothing!

I laughed quite a bit with that video, haha.

I also bought the Logitech DF GT today using gift cards (one my dad won for being extremely smart that covered 95% of the cost, the other card covered the rest )!

From what I understand, the idea is to provide the experience of a genuine F1 driver. Who would have the necessary skills to be able to drive a F1 car, unlike sim heroes such as us. So a difficult to drive car is not necessary (and quite frankly detracts from the gaming experience for most gamers) for the game.

After all, do F1 drivers think their cars are difficult to drive? One could argue its the opposite when rookies/youngsters can come in and do well enough with little experience.

Good post ^^ !

I think for sim racers, what they want are cars which move around alot, thats not F1, and thats generally why hardcore sims usually have touring/gt type cars or smaller single seaters. bar of course the addition of the FW31 to iRacing :p

LS - sounds positive...

Ive got a question about setup. How detailed is it ?

The FW31 appears to be very, very eagily anticipated in iRacing. I doubt I'd race it, but I'll probably end up buying it just to experience it.

I personally do like cars which move around a lot - in iRacing, the few races I've done this year (I've getting bored of all sim racing ) have been in the Mustang, which is great fun - but one of the most popular series, certainly early on, was the Star Mazdas, which are hardly opposite-locking beasts, so I think it's just down to preference.

It's the way it is in reality too though. When we go karting, if it's wet, I prefer to win the opposite lock race, while others are going outright for the win. If it's dry, you can't really slide them that much, so I just race too.

I answered my question not long after I posted when I watched autosport's review video on youtube :p I just cba to come back and edit my post.

I am majorly excited about this, not only because it's a new f1 game, but its the first game ive bought in over a year or even two (except LFS)! my disk drives never used to work lol!

The joy of watching the instal screen is a feeling I will once again know! I cant wait till im driving my Virgin around Bahrain in FP1.

Alot of you I guess have already pre-ordered. If so where would be hte recomended place for best price?

I'll give any demo a go, but I've played enough Codemaster titles to know not commit any money to them until I've experienced what I'm getting.

I'd need a good deal more control than most of the Youtube videos are showing - though I assume that's the inexperience of those doing the driving at various promo events, I'm not about to part with £20+ in order to play F1 2010 based on an assumption.

I'm not much of a gamer any more anyway, but if it's good (either being more realistic than expected or fun when I've had a few) then I'll buy it.

£20 - best I could find for pre order.

Trying to stretch my money to this and for Glasto 2011. Something's gotta give

probably marketing strategy, if theres gonna be a F1 2011 ( safety car, parade lap, etc then it makes sense for them to include stuff fans are telling them they want as it makes it more marketable for next year, The perfect crime! )

Only your own helmet, and thats the ones they provide in the game ie national flag

As for the names, i think you have your name present in multiplayer along with your mates, but as for the season its the drivers real name ( licencing )
