I'm playing loads of Dirt2 to get me in the mood for driving games again. They are good fun, even if I am a bit of a slow n00b and play on the easier settings!

Got Grid on Monday. Had no idea how good that game actually was, F3 car ploughing up Eau Rouge is good fun. Running your own team adds to the fun, hiring/firing team mates and getting sponsors is great. Haven't touched the US or Jap races yet. It's just damn good fun even if the handling of the cars is like being on rails most of the time.

Had my first F3 race in Milan last night .... oh dear, hit every wall in sight and caused plenty of pile ups. Can't wait for Monaco !!!
 
This may be mentioned earlier in the thread but does anyone know exactly how the multiplayer will work??

I'm dying for a game that me and a mate can play together online against a full field of AI drivers for a full world championship!

Thanks...

Helios posted this recently, may new info for some of you...

I posted this over at the rllmuk forums initially but it seems relavent to this thread as well.

Hopefully this answers your questions about the MP

F1 2010 has a variety of quick modes as well as the option to create your own custom GP tailored to your tastes. Here's a brief overview of the quick modes.

Quick Modes allow you to quickly enter a game without having to change multiple settings beforehand. Within the Quick Modes, all cars are of equal performance and team allocation
is random.

POLE POSITION

Pole Position replicates the intensity of
qualification. Each Pole Position race lasts
20 minutes and the winner is the player posting
the fastest lap time.

SPRINT

A single race of 3 laps duration, with dry weather and
with a randomised starting grid.

ENDURANCE

A single race of 20% length, with dynamic weather and
with a randomised starting grid; this race will include at
least one pit stop.

ONLINE GRAND PRIX

A single race of 7 laps duration, with dynamic weather.
The starting grid is determined by a 15 minute qualification
session and the player must pit at least once during the race.


Then on the other hand you have custom grand prix


Custom GRAND PRIX allows you to use your own settings to create an online game, or set specific search criteria to find a game already in progress.

For custom grand prix you can tailor such things as:

Race Length

Permitted assist level

Weather - Dynamic/Set

Fuel Simulation - On/Off

Tyre Simulation - On/Off

Damage Simulation - On/Visual Only/Off

Qualification Session - On/Off

Equal Car Performace - On/Off


Finally there is Time Trial Party, which enables you to compete against a group of friends on a single console/PC, with a single controller. Simply enter the mode, select the weather settings, number of players and attempts on each track, then compete amongst yourselves to take the fastest lap.



Oh, one final thing...I'll hopefully getting the official Steam F1 2010 community group started soon so make sure to keep an eye open for that!

Also, maximum 12 players MP. Don't think two people can be in the same team though :(. I am sure F1 2011 will have that though.

I think I read/heard that due to licensing, each team has equal rights in MP.

So you can only have 1 player in each team.

So you cant have all the top teams only in MP.
 
So it doesnt look as though you can do a championship season on multi-player then!!! :(

I dont see why its so problematic - I'm sure the TOCA games had a championship series you could play!!

Very disappointed!!!
