i think it is quite nice to play with using a wheel. it is not as realistic
as GP3 as for example u can keep going if u are partly on the grass etc, but
it is not entirely an arcade - at least u can have some decent racing with
the wheel without spinning at every second corner!

it is better than GP3 and any other F1 sim with its force feedback - riding
curbs, crashing etc are all very good. It is a small and simple element but
makes a hell of difference in game play.

but the AI of the computer cars are shit! they just bump me off the track
all the time.

also, i have 3 questions to ask and hope someone can help me:

1) i got 100% for all 5 super licence tests but i can only get offers from
the like of BAR or Minardi - i want to race for Ferrari! how to do it?

2) can i reply the game during or after a race? can i save the replys?

3) any network play?

4) i see screen shots where they show the race like on TV - ie on track
camera with TAG Heuer subtitles and timing - how can i view that in the
game?

thanks

It's entirely an arcade game. If you can't keep the car on the track
in other games with all the helps available then, well, I don't know.
In playing around with it some, I think I can answer a few questions:

The game is set up in career mode. You probably have to win the WC to
get a better drive.

I saw no replay feature.

There is no network feature.

I saw the same screenshots. I don't know where they got them. Makes
you figure there is a replay feature somewhere we don't know about.

The root problem here is: Too many sims, too little time. If I'm
gonna waste time and be slow, I might as well do it on a good sim.

Just being difficult.

Well I had to dumb down my language for easy comprehension. Always start
with the lowest denominator ;)

only a moron would admonish someone's typing mistake with a run-on sentence.
