** F1 2011 - Official Thread **

Having fun with this online however the race can be ruined by poor penalty decisions. Had a 16 car race last night in Canada and the first corner was the usual pile up - i swerved to miss the carnage and had to go of the track but managed to stay clear and rejoin only to be given a penalty for 'multiple illegal overtakes'. Annoying.
 
Got this on the xbox. It's got some annoying littlle bugs. Here's what I found so far:

  • Had the safety car deployed once, I came up behind it, in the lead, slowed down, Vettel passed me and didn't get penalised for it. (Overtaking under safety car rule).
  • The game then proceeded to tell me (on the penultimate lap) that the car in front (Vettel) had a puncture. He didn't pit and went on to win.
  • Lag / FPS issues when the car leaves the pits.
  • They don't use drivers names (or rarely). 2010 did, instead it's "the guy behind"

I gave up on F1 2011, too ruddy hard. I couldn't win on medium AI settings let alone legendary. Traded it in for Forza 4.
 
I haven't played this for a while, Forza has taken over. Will have a look to see what the patch addresses.

No idea why I started to think about this recently, but we had some fantastic races didn't we :)

Always close, fair and clean racing (well apart from Anuraj, but then he used to take himself out *most* of the time :)). Good times!
 
Surely they need to be releasing some F1 2014 info soon? The games have generally come out around September time previously haven't they?
 
Saw on the forums that an announcement is imminent. I skipped 2013, so will see what 2014 offers :)

September is always terrible imo - very late in the season and when I go back to work after the summer break :(
 
Is there an F1 2013 thread? Just searched and couldn't find anything.

I'd be up for a few races sometime, I'm not the quickest but it's all fun still.

Yeah it was good fun. Best F1 game they released IMO but that might just be due to have quite a few people playing every night. Never got into any of the others.
