Only 0.3 off Vettel in Q2. May need to bump this up to legend if I keep improving.
Got this game and a wheelstand arriving tomorrow hopefully. God damn I can't wait any longer. Delighted to hear first impressions about this, sounds a massive improvement (and I really enjoyed 2010).
So what's the verdict on safety cars? They seem to be the one addition that was most discussed and I'm curious as to how well implemented they are / how much they bring to the gameplay.

Still getting used to the wheel feel at this point.
Disclaimer: I'm actually much better than I was when I recorded that video!
edit: Man, I hope you guys have been working out. There is a lot more wheel movement going on in 2011, arms are knackered

Wow. Driving in the wet is hard. Not only because you have to discover the parts of the track where you really need to feather the throttle, but because the AI are pretty damn fast. It's good to see a noticable gap between Lotus, HRT, Virgin and the rest of the grid though.
Haha coop championship is THE BOMB.
Really changes everything, love it !
After 3hours of racing, the new handling model is superb, everything seems awesome so far.
We did notive the "TC cheating AI" in the wet some but we were on Legendary so who knows what's going on for sure.
You chicken need to quit fooling around and get that VPN running !
Here are some screenshots before I hit the sack :
Crash
Co-op timing screen
Orgun getting beaten !
Not for long though =(

It's a complete season including (if you want) P1, P2, P3, qualis and race.DieH@rd said:
You get to chose your team, assists and difficulty etc..
Every session you finish gets auto-saved, and you can continue from there whenever you want.
It's really well done.
However you're limited to 1 co-op championship save

Awesome thanks!

Managed to fandangle an unlock of this last night, and it STILL doesn't run anywhere near as well as it should. Ultra everything, 1920x1080 no AA and still only getting around 30fps and the GPUs are both maxing out at about 50%. UGH. On the contrary, fired up Dirt 3 to test out the wheel and was only getting occasional dips below 60.

Wasn't available at retail in US last year either.
Amazingly, it seems it's only available on Steam this year. I guess that explains Codemasters upping their prices from 39.99 to 49.99 this year. With only a single seller for the entire country, they feel emboldened to charge whatever they want.
EDIT: Oops. Forgot non-PC versions actually existed

1 co-op championship at a time is fine by me. Between that, our online races and our league, I wouldn't want to juggle another championship, I don't think.
Can't wait for Friday evening when Lucius and I start ours. I might be a gent to him in our league but he's going to have to work to get past me in a career race.
Haha, nah. Will be good fun though. I'm looking forward to that the most after our league.

eg: if he wants to keep his wing he better be good at dodging.

Q9550@3.6GHz, 4gb RAM and dual 5850s OC'd. If it was happening in Dirt 2 and 3 I wouldn't be concerned but they both run fine. Their respective F1 games (D2/2010 and D3/2011) don't. I haven't played with RadeonPro and mucked around with profiles yet so there's every chance I could get them to run better, but unless there's ATI or Codies come out with a drastic performance update, I doubt it.Deadman said:
Another option is to lock the 2gb replay file, but I doubt that would be a factor in a shitty benchmark.

Have you disabled crossfire?
My 5850 dominated 2010. One card should be enough for near 60fps.

I agree, but that's not always the case. Sucks, but it's why I'll never go with two cards. Too much hassle.
*hugs 6950*
One card is all I need, baby.

Hopefully someone mods in the in-helmet beep notification when DRS is available. I know where most of the detection and activation points are for most tracks but it can be hard to tell if you're actually within the one second window and you get to use it or not. The cockpit view doesn't seem to have any lights or anything for it.
Definitely going that round next! Once there's a single card that benches consistently better than what I have now (vast majority of games are fine, it's really only the odd old/unoptimised games like Blur and Hot Pursuit that give me issues) then I'll dive in. But as it is, my current setup still dominates for everything else I play.Foliorum Viridum said:
In other news, my Gran Turgismo paddles shouldn't be too far off... they left the US on the 17th and it's the 21st now, so hopefully they'll be here by the end of the week at the latest.

I kepe crashing my car full on against others on the 1st corner yet they don't come out with the safety car. Any tips (yeah I'm asking for tips for this LOL) to make the game use the safety car?

Is DX9 loading still long/slow? not that I mind it but I do wish it was quicker.

Long times under DX9 are huuge, like 1 minute, maybe longer, but then you get no more loadings until you're done with the race weekend.

Only managed to play for a little bit. Pretty pleased. One minor thing that I liked was the sound of the DRS being activated "wooosh!". And one big thing is to be finally be able to save the car. Maybe I was too shitty or slow for 2010 but it's so nice to now be able to recognize that the car is starting to get too loose and actually be able to bring it back. I was able to do that more often in 20 minutes of racing than I think I did all my time playing 2010. Fucking A. Can't wait for this weekend when everyone can get together.

There's already a beep when you can use DRS in the race.
@orgun why are you using throttle & brakes deadzones?
