Finish the first few tests -- they're pitifully easy -- and you'll get a five-lap race at Monza.

I'm the worst F1 2012 driver, ever.

Not really an F1 fan but is the Austin, TX track going to be in the game?

Edit: I saw that it is...pretty sweet.

You've also missed my point: Last year's driving model didn't properly simulate the amount of grip provided by an F1 car, especially in high-speed corners where aerodynamic grip is at its premium. The cars still felt like they were on ice with no assists.

This demo's driving model produces a ton of grip without assists, but only in the rear end. So the car feels strangely unbalanced, as if the front end is being washed out by dirty air from a leading car even when running on a clear track. The cars just don't track properly in the corner. There are bags of aero and mechanical grip in the rear but neither in the front.

Odd.

Regarding braking, carbon-fiber brakes provide much more stopping power than engine braking, as you well know. The ratio isn't even close. And this demo does a poor job of simulating the incredible stopping power of modern carbon-fiber brakes. I have attended F1 races in which cars traveling at 185 mph don't hit the brakes until about 80 meters before a 65-mph corner, and the cars make the turn with ease.

There's no way I'm buying a wheel for an Xbox 360. I already have a Logitech G25 for iRacing, and that's enough of an expense. Too bad it's incompatible with a 360 without a Rube Goldberg accessory.
Wasn't trying to insult your f1 knowledge or insult you at all. I can't tell how much you know about F1 based on the post that I quoted. Especially being that I do not know you personally.

I just based what I said off of what you wrote. Yeah you really need a wheel like James said to really open the game up. If you can get it on the PC, the mods are just sick for the pc.

I wish my pc could handle it but can't.

No problem, dude.

Sorry if I jumped down your throat. Unintentional. I was still a bit hot because the 360 demo really disappointed me after I had so much fun with F1 2011, and I shouldn't have lashed out at you.

Thanks.

Once I finish a lap without spinning out four times into the gravel, I'll be happy.
