F1C - Wow!

I received F1C today via Fedex from EBGames.  I've had time to get a quick
impression to post here, then I'm off to a friend's baseball game.

I ran a quick race at Hockenheim in Mika's '99 McLaren.  Some high points:

- The cars seem more squirrelly under braking than before.  Locking up for
any time at all results in a spin more often than not.  This means the cars
a bit more difficult to control, but it also makes them feel a bit more
"real."

- When letting off of the gas quickly towards the end of a long straight, I
could feel the rear of the car move around a little as the weight
transferred forward.  Unreal.

- The FFB does a GREAT job of making the car feel lighter going over some of
the rises in the stadium section

- The AI seem more aware of each other and of you now; it's more fun to race
against them and to watch them race each other.

Those are some early things I noticed.  I've got to run, but I'll try to
post some more impressions later as I get more seat time.

Bottom line:  BIG thumbs up!
