F1 2010

[markav]

Just finished work and got back from town with both Dead Rising 2, & F1 2010, plus £13 left on my Gamestation trade in card. Gotta love the fact they give you an additional £5 off a new release if you trade in any game.

Gonna have a blast on F1 once I've installed it to the HDD. Gonna try and ram that German c*nt off the track.

Good man 

So i had a few races today and to me it's basically GRID with F1 cars. GRID is one of my all time fave games on the 360 so no bad thing. Anyway, picture this- i was racing around hockenhiem and the yellow flags are out warning me of a hazard in front. I turn the corner and there he is, the soft c*nt with his mercedes sideways across the track and it says live out your F1 dream on the box- thank you codemasters

I completed my first career race last night, i opted for team lotus with a short race weekend and i played on medium with traction control on medium and fuel and tyre wear switched on with damage on cosmetic only. I managed to qualify in 20th, but got knocked back to last on the grid as i received a 5 place penalty for causing a collision when exiting the pit lane during the practice session. I chose to have a 30% race (15 laps) and although i managed to climb as high as 19th i skidded off the track on a tricky bend when i clipped the curb too much and ended up finishing in last place. Gutted, but i still really enjoyed it and i think i'm gonna be playing a hell of a lot of this game over the next few weeks! I'm watching the singapore night race qualifying on tv as i type, thought i might get some tips!

I had 3 races in career this morning, (same settings as D-Fuzz) and qualified 14th, 11th and 15th, but ended up finishing last in all 3 races. I had 3 ten second penalties in the second race! I seem to be fine when there are no cars around, just really suck when I'm in traffic!!!

i panic as soon as there is an overtaking opportunity, or if there is a car close behind me. My palms go all sweaty and i start breathing faster, then i usually make a mistake. I'm sure we will get better though

Apologies for not playing last night fellas, connection was been a biatch.

I finished 8th in my 2nd career race, but ended up been 24th after getting a 10 second penalty.

Wooaah!
This game is even better online!!

Gonna play this way more than i thought i would.

It's brilliant. I've just been playing around with it this morning, so far I've managed to flip a Force India up in to the air and make it lose all of it's wheels (one of 6 cars I maanged to "remove" from the race); almost ran out of petrol whilst trying to burn my tyres out and ran over the lollipop man whilst trying to do a manual pitstop... fucking brilliant

BTW, I worked out why my save game got corrupted, heads up for anyone playing career, save anyone else losing one (3rd post on the thread below)...

Our races last night were a hell of a lot more exciting than the real grand prix today!

Hamilton going off is always funny, Kubica is having a stormer though.

Well, from being extremely frustrated this morning I had a play around with the car setups and have finally managed to finish a career race in the points (although I then ended up last in my next race) and then finally won a stand alone grand prix which unlocked 90G I can at least now drive round two of the circuits (Bahrain and Monza) without spinning off at almost every corner

I am a lot better on the game now too marty, haven't finished in the points yet but i am in a lotus so at least it's fairly realistic, my last three career races i qualified in 24th, 18th, and 23rd and finished in 20th, 14th, and 21st respectively. The main thing is that i finished each of those races ahead of my team mate Trulli, which means my rep has gone up and the team are fairly happy with me. I am still only using the quick engineer set ups though, if i could be bothered to mess with the car i would probably do even better.

I'd definitely recommend playing about with the settings, I can win on Monza without any problems at all now. Shame it took me about 4-5 hours to get it right, I can't be arsed to do that on every course!
