F1 2011

[Kieran]

Anyone got this game? I really like it. Would be cool to come up against someone from the board online.

I'll be getting it when I complete expert on 2010. At the moment, Monaco is causing me some issues.

[Kieran]

I'm not exactly great at it just yet... I have it on PC btw.

[Hornmeister]

It's on my PS3 wish list.

[Kieran]

There are some absolute arseholes online it must be said. If you have a decent PC, I'd recommend getting a half decent steering wheel as well as the game, because it really is a lot of fun.

I have this and think it is pretty good, but I've also got FIFA and Gears, so haven't played it too much to be honest.

[TheDon]

Looks amazing but I don't see myself finding the time to play it with A-Levels and FIFA 12, and FM12 out in a couple weeks.

All you'd have to do is remove one of them from the equation to have ample time for F1... Or wait til you're at uni and you have time for FIFA 2013, F1 2012, FM 2013, your degree, and about 4 other time-consuming hobbies, if you like. This is assuming you do an Arts degree of some sort. Engineering, Sciencey or Meidiciney degree? Say goodbye to all of the above.

Hoping to do Media Production

Hoping to do Media Production

Get your self an apprenticeship or a junior role in a media company, failing that even a three month internship. All will be more likely to get you employment in the future and all will be a darn site cheaper.

Been for Work Experience twice at BBC 3CR with the sports team. Also in October half term I'm actually doing a week with the Media Team at WFC. Should be a good experience

Great game, got a big patch coming out next month to iron out a few creases. I have the xbox version. Loads of bugs on the ps3 version apparently.

[Kieran]

So, is anyone (still) playing this? Better yet, anyone playing it on the PC? I've just started racing without the racing line, manual gears, traction control at medium and no ABS. Very rewarding game this way, lots of work yields a very noticable improvement.

And get a decent PC while you're at it. A decent enough graphics card and above would be a GTX560 Ti, Plenty of RAM a second generation i7 chip really brings out the detail.

And make sure your PC is built well with good cooling/dust filtering otherwise you will fry up your CPU/GPU in no time at all. Several excellent mod sites too if you search.

GTR3 is in the pipeline with Simbin Studios but unfortunately unlike GTR/GTR2 it looks that at the moment it won't be a direct recreation of FIA's GT World Championship unlike the previous titles.
