[Swarley]

Who's your favorite driver/team?

 

[chadwick8505]

Favorite two drivers are Kimi and Robert Kubica (even though he's currently out of F1 due to injury)

Favorite team is Lotus.

Start at 23:40 . I swear I repeated that test 10 times and my fastest time was about 54 seconds or so . Actually I might be thinking of 1:54 on the next test.
Either way, I sucked on the wet track

I considered getting the PC version of F1 2012, but it was $49.99 just for the download.

Sorry. Not paying $49.99 for a download.

Might still get this for the 360, but haven't seen enough reviews.

OK, I think I might need to turn ABS off. I keep overshooting turns because I think I am braking without ABS (ala Forza). I usually slowly hit the LT button when braking but I realized that you have to slam on the LT at every turn in order to stop in time but that seems so unrealistic.

Swarley does ABS have to be turned on?

I will have to try it off...if I lock up every turn then I will go back.

Am I off base here?

It's much better with it off. Plus, I wont be allowing ABS in league races anyways. It's 10x easier to take a corner the way you want when you can gradually use the brakes. I have it off and I rarely ever lock the brakes up.

These are NOT your fathers Oldsmobiles!

I thought you said you were going to FORCE ABS? That is why I was practicing with it on last nite.......:tito:

Negative ghostrider. Forcing it off. With simulation tire wear, it only seems right to have ABS off and have the ability to lock up.

That track is so fucking fun once you get it down.

Hamilton, Senna and Kovalainen race each other on the PC version of F1: 2012. Very, very jelly that these guys get to use the Fanatec ClubSport series with the F1 rim.
