Hi people. After having F1 2010 sat on my shelf since release (as I didn’t have a pc spec capable of playing it until now lol) I am currently getting stuck into it. All I can say is it would be a perfect game if it wasn’t for the game breaking bugs. Anyhow, I thought I’d jump straight into the deep end and start a career on expert difficulty. Wow, it certainly makes you feel happy when you get a single point then if you was to win on one of the easier difficulties! Ive been playing sim racing games for years but its nice to actually play a new, officially licensed f1 game. Currently, my season is going like this…
Bahrain
Qualified 9th in the Lotus and managed to get my way up to 5th in the race but spun on lap 15 and, as my car was obviously facing the wrong way, the game decided to black flag me…gutted really as I had some points in the bag…
Melbourne
Qualified 10th and treated every lap like a qualifying lap and brought the car home in 9th. Had a tussle with Schumacher which was quite exciting lol
Sepang
Had a collision with Trulli in qualifying which saw me handed a +5 grid penalty and ended up 17th. Managed to get a good start and got up to 13th but got caught in someone else accident which left me with a broken front wing and a +10 sec penalty…?? Anyhow, crossed the line in 20th and thoroughly disappointed.
Shanghai
Qualified reasonably well in 11th and the race was a thoroughly wet one! Got up to 5th a one point but pitted and kept on wets but after a couple of laps the track was dry and suffered from a lack of grip. Was in 16th position but 2 laps from the end I spun and was overtaken by a train of cars. Finished 20th overall but still out qualifying and out racing Trulli but if I can just get my setup right I feel that points scoring finishes are a million miles away.
Spain next but having done a practice session there it seems that the ai are in a way different league.
Anyways, that was my progress so far. Might seem lame but all the other difficulties were just too easy. I did a race on medium difficulty and won by 90 seconds..:s So I thought expert would be a good choice and, sure I love a challenge, its making me race a lot harder than I thought I would lol
