They want a distinction between 'being an F1 driver' and watching one on TV.

I don't buy that. A HUD that isn't the cockpit view by very definition will ruin that.
It's a good question about the DRS zone for tracks that haven't been yet. They get decided very close to the races, sometimes.

You'd think the F1 license would get them the rights to it?
But maybe not. Who knows. I just want someone talented to mod it day one

no demo this year.
they didn't wheel out the bullshit licensing excuse this year though, this time they're too busy.

That only really sucks because I don't know if I want the PS3 version or PC version. You guys all play on the PC version and that'd be the reason I get it for PC, but the PS3 is so effortless to boot up and just race and it doesn't heat up my whole living room like the PC does.
Is the PC version going to be a Steam release again? And are they going to have that silly YouTube upload stuff like DiRT 3 has?

If you can get run it well on PC it seems stupid not to go with that version. DX11, 60fps, mods...

if 2011 is a refined 2010 then we don't really need a demo, same with dirt 3 it was a more refined dirt 2, just that some dlc choices and lacking rally spoiled the game a fair bit.
doubt we will see cars as dlc in this game unless it's classic dlc or something.

Can't say I have had any problems running 2010 with everything maxed @ 2048x1152. Solid 60, for the most part. Dips to 40s sometimes online, but even that's better than consoles, especially with the DX11 bells and whistles. It seems very well optimised.

well yeah that is a rather beefy machine, more moderate ones get frame dips in areasFoliorum Viridum said:
c2d 2.8 and gtx260 which still runs most games perfectly fine.2011 should be a lot better if they take some notes from the dirt series this time.

I got similar results before I overclocked from 3.2ghz, had a 5850 and 4gb RAM, too.
But yeah, I can't really speak for the low end, these days. My opinion may be different if the game came out before I upgraded to a 5850 from my 3650

This sounds great. PGR2 also had this (events with fixed cars in fixed conditions), and these were my favorites.
Thanks for the impressions amar. Waiting for the game to launch got even tougher.
However I'm still worried about the AI behaviour. Let's hope they change it in the final code, because from what I've seen the AI continues to approach some corners very slowly like in F1 2010.
Director Mode sounds awesome and seems to solve all my problems with being able to know exactly what's happening on the track and being able to have a tactical approach during the race. Unfortunately it requires to pause the race, but it's better than nothing (and online it's not going to work ofc)

Bummer. I didn't buy F1 2010 and I'm unlikely to buy F1 2011 unless I get a demo.Wax Free Vanilla said:

no need to waste £40 on f1 2011 now, i'll wait for this free f1 manager/driving hybrid.

Very intrigued by the free game (I loved GP Manager 2), highly sceptical over F1 2011.

Those sky shots of 2012 don't look too hot but then I would think the same for the current game, you need to be racing level to see the details since you race at that angle 99% of the time.
Interesting move, hope they don't go stupid wazoo with it and completely kill their efforts because of bad transactions.

...so you're comparing the graphical fidelity of a full price retail game with a free browser-based online game?
