decrypting 
Just looked like Grid to me with F1 cars.... The textures looked awful especially the decals and shadows...
something is wrong with this badly ported POS.
to me it doesnt look as good as SHIFT and even with 16xQCSAA and all settings maxed ingame im only getting 50% gpu usage and the game is barely using more than one core....
ive never had a modern game use so little gpu and im only getting 30-40fps.
the game doesnt seem that good either with a keyboard and all the assists on you can hold the accelerator down and its like your driving a friggin train around some tracks....
check this screenshot i took low 30's FPS only 44% gpu usage...
look how horrible the game looks lol the crowd in the grandstand look like lego people?

This is about as good Formula 1 game as we are ever going to get in the mainstream category (and that's the important part, this IS a mainstream game that is expected to sell millions). The driving model is somewhat forgiving but it's nowhere near the level of Dirt 2 or Grid. It's closer to iRacing than those two. That's not to say it's hard or at iRacing level, no, it's really quite easy to drive and more often than not you know when you are about to make a mistake. It's predictable as it should be, not random. One hour into the game I can clock pretty reliable laps improving my time tenth by tenth once I get used to the track. I already know my limits in quite a few tricky corners and I know if I push even a bit harder, I will end up with wheels on the grass or sand. I can honestly say that my GP4 days are over and F1 2010 is my new game of choice for offline F1 racing. (Although.. I do have to go back to GP4 at some point to drive those sweet cars from 1991 again. But F1 2010 for modern F1 racing anyway 
)
Graphics are fantastic at least to me and my "iRacing is good enough" standards. For the hour or so I tested the game I had my graphics set to high, 1920x1200 but no AA and the fps hovered between 50 and 60. Solid at 60 most of the time. I didn't try wet races though. Tomorrow I'll try the ultra settings with 4x AA. Q9550@4GHz, non-overclocked ATI 5850.
They have also somehow managed to make it so that you can actually compete with the AI drivers. In iRacing, with my driving skills, if I try to compete with someone too much or too hard one of us ends up spinning or crashing at some point. It might take a lap or five laps but something bad will eventually happen. In F1 2010 you can lightly touch the opponent cars and really feel your opponent pushing hard ahead of you as well as behind you. You might think you have passed an opponent by braking late and using the whole corner but lo and behold, the opponent actually took the inside line while you were braking late and has now passed you again on the straight that followed up. Small mistakes you can correct but bigger mistakes will inevitably lead into spinning or even crashing. While the damage model isn't the best we've seen, you can definitely lose a wing quite easily. Just don't expect the car to break into million pieces as their license doesn't allow them to show that.
The one thing I have problem with is the audio. The engine sounds just aren't good enough although using headphones definitely improved the audio a bit compared to my Logitech Z-5500 speakers. Also do spend time adjusting your wheels. I think my sweet spot is 0% deadzone, 50% saturation, 50% linearity but if someone thinks they have found a better setup, do tell. I'm using Fanatec Porsche 911 S.
Anyway, I think this might be just the game I was hoping in my wildest dreams. I'm a pessimist by nature so I was expecting the worst and I pretty much knew the game would disappoint me but.. it just didn't. It's brilliant. It doesn't rival iRacing but we all knew that even before the release and these two games aren't even trying to compete with each other.
edit: I can't believe I wrote a positive comment about this game. I've been wanting to hate the game since the early screenshots and kept expecting the worst. Ah well, at least WRC 2010 still looks terrible

is anyone else with an nvidia card getting really bad gpu usage? it cant be just me so far ive only saw people with ati cards on the forums i frequen and there all getting high frame rates....
just tried dx11 game looks a bit better but nowhere near as good as i hoped the game was going to look...
few more screens.
note poor FPS and still POOR gpu usage
][/url]
seems like they forgot to remove the console blurry effect to hide the bad textures or something :S nowhere near the clarity you expect from a pc game at that res, seems they are using a crappy filter like they did in grid aswell hopefully someone brings out a mod to remove it ASAP

Ah a man after my own heart a gp4 fan who is happy that will do me m8.
How would that be even possible ...
he is just trolling
If only I could install 10.9, my problems began when I tried updating via steam because I was having crashes to desktop when playing another Codemasters game (Dirt 2). Now I'm in a continuous BSOD loop whenever I try to do anything but go back to 10.4. It really is quite fun

I really like this, i just get tons of input lag and it is making it unplayable.
