I used a controller in the first race with assists on medium. However, the slow AI qualifying is on the list to fix in the next patch. Like Mike, I qualified on pole with ease with the AI set to medium I qualified in Daytona 2 secs ahead of 2nd (the race was closer) and in Indy I set the AI to Hard and qualified 0.5 sec ahead of 2nd without a clean lap. So far I've practiced a few tracks (Daytona and Bristol), raced Daytona, Vegas (online) and Indy. adjustments to the suspension, grill tape, etc.), designing paint schemes, you have very few options to choose from apart from launching straight into a game be it, single player, multiplayer or career (one season in length - stats for poles, fast laps, wins, etc do carry over).Īll of the pre-race presentation has been devoted to the career mode, as when I did a quick race it just launched into qualifying without any pre-race build up.

Apart from tweaking set ups (each track has an individually tailored base setup like F1 2010 and with the advanced options you can do a reasonably in-depth setup for each wheel (inc tyre pressure and individially and make the usual rebound, etc. The front end of the game is a little disappointing. I'd say the game definitely delivers on that front for me. I don't have a huge amount of spare time for gaming these days so I bought the game hoping for a game I could pick up and play for 20-30 mins and hopefully enjoy close racing action.

I gave the game a quick blast on Saturday night and before I knew it a couple of hours had passed.
