F1 2012 Legend too difficult?

[Chris]

Well, as no doubt 99% of you have the game, and will have tried out the "new" legendary difficulty.

I signed with Force India, and they're usually around the 6th-13th place in Qually and the Race. Buttt with legend AI, i qualified 18th, with a time of 1:29.4 around Melbourne. Not the best time, but it felt like i got as much out of the car as i possibly could.

Now, i dont consider myself to be a shabby driver, not the best, but not bad either. I just find Legend too difficult. Like, im struggling to hang onto the back of Torro Rosso's.

So, i tried out Professional, and it was wonderful! Qualified in 5th with Schumacher @ Monaco, 100% distance. and had the race of my life, so thrilling i could have gone for 100 laps instead of 78.

Anyway, just giving ya'll a heads up, that, if you're finding legend too hard, just put it to professional and it's a much more enjoyable experience.

Unless of course you're finding Legend just fine, then kudo's to you, because for me, its literally impossible.

I think legend is just fine. The only thing that i don't understand is how can i get the pole in melbourne (Williams car) and then i just cant keep up with the AI in the race.
I can easily qualify with 1:26:XX , better than the AI, and then when the race starts i'm always around 1:30:00 and they're always 1 second faster than me, which makes me lose my first position in a few laps.

Your setup is for qualy maybe?
You will get pole, but in the race, you will be slower. A simple example, in qualy you use DRS all the time, in race 1-2-3 times. So if you setup your car to be fast with open drs, when drs is closed your gears will be far from right ones for the race.
Because of the park-ferme, now you have to balance car setupsomewhere between race and qualy.
First laps you will be slower, because of the heavy car, and not using DRS
