I think I'm doing something wrong. After spending most of FP1 learning the Bahrain track, I managed to top the leaderboard, and again for FP2, skipped FP3 completely, but it leaves me thinking I'm doing something wrong. Originally I started on hard mode, figuring that would be the best, but I was having a terrible time, so started again to medium, and it's now too easy. What options would it be best to alter to give myself a challenging game? I know as a Lotus driver that I shouldn't be expecting to win, just beat the other new teams, and maybe a Toro Rosso if I'm lucky/skilled... I think the corner speed indicator things are probably one of the main things that are helping though :x
 
Even after activating my game via the VPN, I still need to be connected to it to start the game. Don't have to be connected to play, but if I'm on my normal connection, it just says pre-load. Bit random. You would have thought it would activate, and that would be that.

As for the racing, I was up in 14th or so in Australia in my Lotus, pitted, and the I was back to 24th, even though the others were quite far behind me. Bit annoying.

Chances of powercut/internet breaking/new pc not arriving or missing vital component around 99% I'd say :D:p

While connected to the VPN set Steam to offline mode and restart it then you can disconnect from the VPN and just leave steam in offline mode till friday.
 
but when your games list show when you last played it does it say today, even tho its not activated ? ( when you log back in out of VPN )
 
Had problems with this till i took the overclock off my 5850's, now running at ultra setting with 4x AA and getting 70-80+ Fps on everything other than monaco (get about 55-60 on that).
 
Finally finished my first race in career after many restarts, quite enjoyable but not the challenge I thought it was going to be.
Expert mode, all assists off, 20% race weekend and was able to finish second in the Virgin racing team.

I've read about Legend mode but can't see it in the options.

The pit bug is a real pain. Can be left sitting there for 12 secs as other cars you've pasted just drive by.
Had to change my strategy opposite from the rest of the field to hold position. Very rarely locked brakes and wheel spin wasn't much of an issue.

Comparing to Ferrari Academy, this is more arcade like but good fun none the less. Hopefully it will be good online but with gfwl I have further doubts.

Do you have to install the games for Windows Live crap or is it optional?

Yeah, I had that with the cars flying past me. Is there a fix for it? Or will we just have to wait for the patch?
 
Game looks amazing i the rain, runs like a dream on my system

Have done 2 races in campaign mode, well impressed.

Played the Xbox 360 version earlier today also. PC version wins hands down. nice to see it's not just another nasty port
