Is anyone up for getting a few together and see if we can do some 25% race distances?


I'd be well and truly up for it.

I'll tag along for that. I'll drop you a friend request tomorrow?

Good man Greg.

Have F1 2010, 2011 and now 2012, much prefer 2012 over 2011, it seems more polished, the handling on the game is more fun and rewarding i think. Been practicing with tyre wear and fuel wear switched on and you can feel the difference over the laps and its really easy to over reach the tyres in a couple of laps.. T'is a great effort. Does PH have a league for F1 racing online?

Is tyre wear and fuel use turned on as a default in the career by the way?

Must be as I haven't disabled it and I definitely ran out of fuel last night tyre wear is working here too..

Although it may depend on how you answer the "how much of a challenge do you want" question when you first start..I wanted it challenging.

Love it, the best AI in a racing game ever...I have played multiplayer too, works great.

What y2blade said is correct if you set it nice and easy then there will be no tyre wear and fuel loads...

[y2blade]

I finally got a comfortable key setup for all the functions....just got to remember them for tonight though

needs more buttons!

Is it simply plug and play in any car you wish online or do you have to go through the career mode and work your way up through the teams?

Any car you wish.
Although most lobbys I've been in have been set-up with Equal performance. (you can set the lobby with equal or unequal performance for all the cars)

I set it to 2nd hardest difficulty when I started it so think it does have tyre wear. I'm going to lower the fuel amount for a race and see if I run out

[DanDC5]

I maybe up for some races later on. PSN addy - DANCTR

So you put it on the easiest mode?

I'm only joking. Are you on tonight for a few races?

[R300will]

I've managed to work out that for me using the same set up that worked for 2011 i'm 3 seconds a lap slower (1.07.5s around Sao Paulo on 2011/ 1.10.5s Sao Paulo 2012).

So that shows the handling changes that's been made for the new game and i do find it a bit on the understeer side of things and found i didn't have the grip through the corners that i had on 2011.
