You can also fully customise the difficulty e.g. tire simulation, fuel simulation, aids, damage, AI difficulty etc.
Just got my retail dvd rom pre-order. Game is a serious letdown already 
1: Loading times are very poor indeed even on a SSD + 980X + GTX480 it took me nearly 10 mins just to get my first ride in a car
2: Gfx are really poor & dated. Only the stunning rain graphics & car models are hi-def the rest is bland/low rez/console junk
3: Codemasters have once again produced another long winded menu system which seems even worse than the Dirt2 version (is that even possible).
Glad it only cost me £19.85 as its not a decent effort at all tries to be a mix of hardcore sim & arcade combined not a pick up & play game at all) you even get penalties ingame like the real thing for cutting corners on the easiest career mode. AI is tough as well.
Oh well maybe it will improve with time but no DLC planned as they are already working on F1 2011 so you can bet patches will be limited. They need if nothing else to reduce the amount of time you spend not driving as all the menus & media driver stuff is very poorly implemented & you cannot skip any of it either

Trying to find a good MP game. Managed to connect to one session and was shunted off in the first corner. Manager to drag car back up to 3rd in a 3 lap race after though, even with wing damage

I'm in no way saying you are wrong at all because the loading times are pretty long but if you went straight into career then it loads and there are no more major loading screens until after the race, so practise, qualifying and the race are covered by one loading screen.

Jesus, something is up there then. That is insane.
I know but even then it takes me ages to get there its just loading like forever. Very poor for such a high profile release the loading times should be instant considering the poor graphics & small install size. Trying it on my other PC now to see if its any different on a Samsung 1TB with 32Mb cache.

1. 10 minutes??? Takes me no longer than 2 and it is not even on my SSD! Plus the whole weekend is covered by just ONE loading screen, so no biggie anyway.
2. Would kind of agree. Does look awesome in the rain though. Also depends where you race - some tracks look better than others e.g. Bahrain is incredibly plain in real life too.
3. The Menu system is nowhere near as long winded as Dirt 2. I really like it.

My stuttering seems to have come back, but if I go back to garage then it goes, for a bit.

Do we need to get a race arranging thread going?

Even with v-sync off? Was so glad this fixed it for me as the game would have been unplayable. Can't believe it is still an issue in the Ego engine.
