F1 cars do not benefit much from slip streaming and in most cases it slows them down as they loose downforce which means less grip and braking force... For slip streaming to be effecive they need to be almost touching..

I,m no F1 Guru I just remember watching a program about it on the Tv was quite interseting and showed how Aerodynamic an F1 car is. F1 cars leave wakes behind them like a boat and a plane, this is what is refered to as Dirty Air.

I agree that slipstreaming doesn't work in corners because of the dirty air effecting grip but on straights such as Monza and Spa slip streaming gives you a good run on the guy infront because he is punching a hole in the air. Get within half a second and you effectively have a big Fduct.

Slipstreaming in this sense is used all the time in F1 and even touring cars so should be in the game. I can get a really good exit and be 10mph quicker down a straight but sitting behind another car doesn't give me anything extra when it should and they just pull away.

I remember in Geoff Crammond's Formula 1 Grand Prix, slip-streaming had a very obvious effect. It felt great when slip-streaming.

In f1 2010, the effect is non existent.

And F1 cars do benefit from slip-streaming lol? That's pretty much the technique any f1 driver will use on a straight to overtake or get alongside his opponent. Don't know what F1 you're watching.

EXACTLY.

Slipstreaming on a straight has a MASSIVE effect and is what usually allows a car which is slower or of similar speed to overtake the car in front.

It is there, but you have to get close enough. For some reason it doesn't have as much of an effect as real life F1 - there must have been a reason for this?
 
Try ramming a car off track and then try following that car. ITs like nothing happen, it fly away.I did this to hamilton's car, he crashed agaisnt a wall, a dnf in real life but he some how drove away like its his birthday. The game is losing its early sheen just to show its ugly side

I haven't noticed any at all, just that the AI cars are so damn slow that you are eventually accelerating faster than them.

So many of the fundamentals of this game are just poor, it's an arcade game based on F1 nothing else.

Guys im really enjoying this game and seriously contemplating buying a wheel instead of using my 360 pad.

I will be buying GT5 so the obvious choice is the logitech wheels that will work with both PC and PS3.

I think for a newbie Racing driver the G27 is a bit steep and i have found the Logitech Driving Force™ GT around is this any good ?

Anyone else got any wheel recommendations ?

yeah, over saturation doesn't make it look better. although currently they ore a bit under saturated. I've done a quick tweak to one of my screens in PS, and a slight change in saturation makes it look a lot nicer, but not cortoony

Original
Saturation Tweak

EDIT: Although that original looks a lot less saturated as a screen than it does in game...

I know that afew people still prefer the G25 to the G27 because the ffb is not has good, something todo with the ffb being smoother and more forgiving, there are afew sites still selling it if you know where to look.
