I've got a similar system to this (although a TNT2 instead of the V3) and
also think the sim runs fine.. not perfectly but more than adequate and I
haven't finished playing around with all the settings yet.

My biggest problem with it is that the collision forces seem almost
non-existent. Most of the time when I hear the message over the radio
telling me that I have collided with someone I haven't even noticed it...
all other sims seem to give much better visual or audio cues that contact
has been made, but unless it is a quite hard contact F1 2000 is quite poor
in this respect. Anyone else finding this???

Also it's a shame that the FF implementation isn't too hot.
