Hey all,

We're expecting a review copy of the game soon and would like to know what you'd want to see/answered. Let us know and maybe we can make it happen in the run-up to the review. Videos, questions etc.

Looking forward to your requests!

Is the reputation still rubbish (probably not possible to test in a short amount of time)? Can you really throw the cars over the kerbs and not crash? Is the engineer less annoying than on the first game?

Is there anything (good or bad) that other reviews have missed?

Have they fixed the brake testing online cos endless times ive been brake tested on a straight and got a penalty for it.
Does the renault sound different to other cars?
Can you save it when you do a co op championship?

what about last year´s catchup system, still in 2011?

Dylan Hember · Sep 17, 2011

Dirt 3 had a option where you could turn catchup off, is this in F1 2011?

Want to know all about spectator mode please. Is it just for those that crash out/finish 1st or can you spectate any online game without competing?eg: instead of joining an online session you can choose to spectate? Also the after race Directors something? Wot's that, can you review whole race? any car? etc

Robin Chung · Sep 19, 2011

Thanks for all the requests thus far! I will definitely cover all of those in the review. We are working on a few innovative things so please keep your requests coming. Not long now...

I want to know if they are finally in the game before the start of the race or / and on the podium!

Diego Lopez · Sep 20, 2011

A few answers. SO far I see no reputation on Career. Your choices to start off (which you do @ pre - season) is HRT, LoTUS, VirGIN, FORce India and WIlliams. I take this since they have new drivers on this season. personal recommendation Force India.

Barichello.

In multiplayer either via LAN or online can you have a long race weekend (3 part qualifying etc)?
I know the co-op does, but I don't want to be in the same team as my friend to start with.
Thanks in advance.

Have a couple of other questions.

When going wide at a few corners in f1 2010, it was like hitting a brick wall when going in the gravel, like the 2nd chicane and lesmo's at Monza. Is this in f1 2011? Or is it real gravel where you don't lose stupid amounts of speed?

With the reputation (going back to my original post), just to clarify more than anything, do they still sack you at the end of the season even if you win the championship in a Ferrari but don't have enough in game reputation? Might not be able to determine that in such a short space of time though.

I don,t get that, why the wait?

When you host an on line game can you fill the spots with AI and then start on your own while you wait for players? I tried but could,nt do it /figure it out. I hope you can instead of sitting waiting for players. Cool game very happy I bought it!

is Hockenheim still in the game? I mean they put all the same tracks as in f1 2010, would be logic if it was

No, replaced by Nurburgring. Only the tracks from 2011 season are included.

Gavin Hendley · Sep 20, 2011

Has Barain changed its track layout from last year to its original state?

Bobby Englehart · Sep 20, 2011

its not in the 2011 season. but it would have been.

I mean we have to wait for game release. We're gonna get it on 23rd (at least in UK and Poland, don't know about other countries in Europe).
