A bit late to this but...
Haven't raced F1 cars since the good ol' days of EAs F12002, so this was going to take some getting used to. Used all available aids, it became aparent soon that TC was as needed as ABS, as it is with almost all cars. Used an old set up from previous versions which I had to modify the gears and aero for it to be working.
Right, so came in late, no qually and no practice whatsoever as I didnt know if I had time or wanted to participate with these cars. The start was a bit dicey, but its always easy from the rear as you can judge things much easier. It was aparent very soon that many were using much higher wing settings than I, was toping out at 320+kph and in some cases had to lift fully to avoid going 3 abreast after the long straight. Before the pit stop I was in the 1:50s but as I got close to the window I was smelling some 47s but couldnt get them, it was fun picking up speed and seeing just how easily you gain time or lose it with these cars.
Had a incident free race, save for a tap with Tobbias or Tommi (apologies I forget who) I believe, this was after the second safety car. Then had to try an manage the gap with Geoff but he was way too fast, well done.
The whole layout of the race was fantastic and a lot of fun, the safety car brings a lot of action sometimes good (as it was for me) sometimes bad, however it's always exciting and in many ways it improves racecraft which is always welcome.
Great race and thanks Si.
