Is it possible to do the career with the real drivers and not as an avatar?

You can do a championship as a real driver, but not play as any in career mode I'm afraid.

Oh well... Pity( I'll be Nyck De Vries or George Russell then (of F2 2018 fame), they are in the list of avatars.

It’s one the things that bugs me the most about the game 1st Hamilton, 2nd a red bull..... I was excited when I found the list of names to be disappointed that mark wasn’t on the list. Mark is on all lists!!

No way is it not, Mark was in grid 1 even.
Seems strange, very common name.

There is some very obscure names, hopefully they will keep adding.

It’s a shame it’s not vr, does it work ok with triple screens? Thinking of getting this to have a go, haven’t properly played an F1 game since 2012...

It is a shame no vr, apparently there is a work around which works ok but I’ve not had time to try it.
I play on triple screens and it works perfectly in game play, just menu sometimes is a bit broken. HUD is adjustable so you can put it all on Center screen.

Can you change your FOV with triples? Also do your side monitors look warped? Thinking of picking this up but I play racing games with triples.

What is the VR workaround you mentioned?

av noticed a bug where the ai is not pitting to get punctures/damage fixed they just stay out on track going at a snails pace. ricciardo just kept going in the race with a puncture.

I’ve not tried changing FOV because it’s ok for me, I’m pretty sure that you can change it though.
Side monitors are a bit warped but I don’t think anymore than pc2

Triple monitor setup guys, what graphics cards you guys using and at what resolution?

Is this game playable with a controller or is a wheel required? I don't really have the room for a wheel at the moment.

Some people can put in ridiculously good times with a pad (faster than some peoples wheel times) it depends on how competent you are with the pad.
Personally I could never play it with a pad, pad for me is only used in games like Forza Horizon, The crew.

If I tried a pad with this, or Dirt Rally and the likes either the pad or me would be going out the window.
