F1 2010 Race distance

[TheOman]

I would like to know which procent of the race you all drive!!!!

 

[Sile]

I agree, I like to drive 100% of the race, but simply, ai drivers are much faster, primarily due to non full tank load .Did you noticed when you drive 100 race, that braking and turning are much more difficult at the start of the race,but that can not be said for ai drivers . I mean if you make sure that in fast directions when braking and stearing,you dont go off the track then you are much slower and you lose time.. ps I'm sorry if my english had a few mistakes...

75% races for me. I can't race at 100% without losing the effects on the track, so I limit myself to 75%

 

[Stephen Spackman]

I race between 50 and 100%. When i am doing 50% its a short race weekend and when its 100% its..well a long weekend

wow how ling does it take you guys to complete a race at 100%? 4 hours?? man ive been doing 20 percent and it take about 15 minutes, i cant imagine 100 %

A 100% race takes the same time as a real life F1 race - I guess you've never seen one.
Another way of looking at it is it will take 5 times as long as a 20% race, as 5 x 20 = 100. (Anybody that went to school for more than a couple of days could tell you that.)
However, a full GP weekend will take over six hours, but that is in five sessions.

Career mode I run 100% grand prix i stick to short weekend 40-60% distance. Wouldn't say 100% full weeknd takes 5 hours if you know the track well you can usually skip a chunk of the practice sessions.

 

[ProceededGT1]

The first season I did 50% race distance. I wanted to practice more and get used to a few tracks. I prefer 100% distance. Just started season 2 and the routine is to practice & qualify one evening, do the full race distance the next evening, take a day off, and repeat for the next track.

i should have figured that i do watch the races, i just never put 2 and 2 together

And what was the answer - 7?:sorry:

 

[DutchFarmer]

I prefer a 30% race. It is because i know i can't race a 100% race with allmost no mistakes. I will proberly never reach the finish then. Maybe if i have the feeling that i can race at a constant decent speed i will race longer races.

 

[Checo]

I race always with 40%

Its a good choice to make a semi-serious gp!

 

[David Kaye]

I selected 30% but use 20% (not a choice) as anything longer is not good for my anger management.

 

[My993C2]

I am a 100%'er playing the game on a PC with a G25 wheel/pedal set ... it takes a certain amount of time commitment and definitely a lot of mental focus to complete a race at 100% distance and while I have yet to drive 100% error free, my goal is to not make any major mistakes and slowly work on eliminated the small mistakes (but even the real world F1 drivers make mistakes). I have real world experience driving my '97 Porsche 911 at my local race track, so I think both these games and my real world experience help complement each other and make doing 100% race distances in this game more manageable. I do however have a lot of respect for the real world F1 drivers. To do what they do, in these cars with the physical forces and still have the mental focus to do a full length race is incredible.

 

[Mike Ellerker]

I don't see 20% when doing career race and I'm on the xbox 360 version.

 

[MARS3300]

50% with game controller for ps3. when I get my wheel and seat then 100%. 80 percent of the challenge in the game is the endurance of concentration, since there is nothing to make us feel G forces, heat, wind, and rain. The remainder is probably the precision. I will do 30% races just for fun.

 

[MiniHulk85]

I race 30% and I can usually do about 3 short race weekends. Will do 100% when in GP mode so I can get a feel for the different cars.

 

[James Chant]

I don't see 20% when doing career race and I'm on the xbox 360 version.

I assume this is like the difficulty setting in the paddock, If you have already started a race weekend, you can't change it til you have finished the race weekend.

 

[Graham Young]

50% thats all I get time for in the evening with 3 practice session and qualifying

waiting for my licence How long does that take?

 

[CeeGee]

waiting for my licence How long does that take?

What! :eek: Do you mean the Super-Licence that you need to take part in F1? I didn't think you needed one to play the game. Neither my agent or anyone from Lotus even mentioned it to me, and there is nothing on the box to say you need a licence to play the game.
I'd better get on to the FIA now and see if I can get one before I lose the results I've had.


RD online licence - can't help you with that. I haven't got one of those either:wink:
