Nice one Phinor.

There is no reason for an F1 fan not to play this game, it looks and sounds like tremendous fun. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. This game will be bitchin :D

Your analysis contradicts the post in one point i feel. You have said there is a risk that even the hardest AI will be too easy, the post pasted says even the easiest AI level is brutally hard and this comes from serious sim racing types.

What I meant by that is that in few months or a year when we learn the game there's a possibility (based on other racing games) that the hardest AI just isn't hard enough. But now that I think about it, Dirt 2 definitely had tough enough AI drivers so maybe I shouldn't worry about this game having only six different settings. And if it really becomes a problem, they can fix it in F1 2011 anyway.
 
I highly doubt that "95%" statement is anywhere near true, but it fills me with joy that an iracer is happy with the physics. Considering a pre-order.

Someone who is in process of reviewing it posted on a forum with some info on what it was like and said
1.) Eye watering visuals. Without doubt the sexiest racing game I've ever seen. I'm running all settings maxed, 1920 x 1080 with 4XAA, on my [email protected], GTX 470 and 8GB DDR3, and it run super smoothly. The rain effects are sublime, but the real star of the show are the tracks. There's just so much stuff in the background that I'm often distracted by the view.

2.) Handling is not as hardcore as iRacing. While the cars have a propensity to spin if you apply too much gas coming out of a corner, they don't appear to mind if you drive them across the grass at 150km/h. I've lost count of the number of times I've cut a corner, with hardly any slowdown as a result. The force feedback also isn't quite as lovely as iRacing - it is good, but iRacing's bumps and steering feel more realistic.

3.) Car damage is quite forgiving. At times it feels almost like bumper cars - I'll often make contact with other vehicles, rubbing tires, with no penalty. I've got damage cranked to full, and full race penalties enabled. I'm more often given a penalty by the stewards than seeing any physical damage. so other intresting points,

4.) The sound engine is superb. The screaming whine of the F1 engines are captured beautifully, as is the trackside ambiance.

5.) The AI is brutally hard. I've set it to amateur, and have come last in every race so far. It's quite strange - while the handling seems easy when set to full real, the AI is still hard when set to its most basic.

6.) Overall the game is fantastic fun. While hardcore simmers may dislike the ability to drive over grass and bump and grind with other cars, most racers will love the way the game makes you feel like an F1 driver, piloting a rocket ship on wheels.

i noticed lewis driving across the grass cutting that corner without recieving a penalty and thinking this doesnt bode well for online play :(

I think lewis hamilton has been playing to much of this game then, explains why he rubbed up against massa yesterday and was surprised his wheel came off hehe
 
why is it I seem unable to find this on any of the popular web shops any more. It has disappeared completely off Play and Zavvi.
 
They wouldn't turn down anyone's money though surely?? It's not even on the pre-order list.
