    Well... I was going to buy it today, but here in the States I can only buy it from steam at top dollar. I can order it cheaper on DVD import. I'm also a bit worried at how it will perform on my ATI Radeon 4850 and Phenom 9950 x4 black. The rig is starting to age.

    Anybody else playing on PC and if so, what kind of rig are you using?

    Right, let's have a fun little challenge. As I don't have F1 2010, I'll have to use F1 2009 for this. Let's see if you guys can actually end up beating any of my F1 2009 times with F1 2011 times. Call it an unfair comparison as they're completely different but that's part of the challenge. Here are my lap times for F1 2009:
    Australia - 1:19.890
    Malaysia - 1:28.488
    China - 1:29.825
    Bahrain - 1:26.922
    Spain - 1:16.561
    Monaco - 1:04.668 (not a typo)
    Turkey - 1:21.135
    Britain - 1:13.100
    Germany - 1:25.355
    Hungary - 1:15.338
    Europe - 1:32.668
    Belgium - 1:38.360
    Italy - 1:17.450
    Singapore - 1:32.160
    Japan - 1:26.482
    Brazil - 1:08.167
    Abu Dhabi - 1:27.253
    Go on. Try it :)
    P.S. Don't attempt to beat Silverstone as it's a completely different track now. And don't bother with Bahrain as it's probably not in the game anyway. Canada, Korea and India weren't in F1 2009 (obviously)

    Quick question:

    I pre-ordered this from Game a few weeks ago, but the shop that I went to is quite difficult to get to without a car.

    Do I have to go today to collect it or will they keep hold of it for a few days until I can go?

    Bought it last night too for PC. Not had chance to play it yet though as

    1) The install muffed up because I apparently didn't use the correct tool to unzip it (wtf?)
    2) Arkansas is the center of the known universe *cough*, so we don't have any shops that stock the nice cheap wheel that I'd like to purchase to play it with.

    I do, however have a very nice 7.5gig file sat on my hard drive for the well spent $50 bucks. :p

    I may do the same as far as controllers go, depending on how well it runs on this pc. I'm trying to run it for the first time atm. I seems to be taking about as long as my old zx spectrum. :p

    Why do you have to UNZIP anything that you bought?!? Or is it delivered electronically? Excuse me if Im oldschool, I haven't bought a new game since the 90's except F1 2000 and MS flightsim 2002 :D

    I'm a pirate :|

    Oh that's a shame. If I bought something though, it would be for the actual box and paper manual and all that. How much do you pay for it electronically contra real DVD? huge diff?

    Well you don't have to worry about scratching the DVD. You can download it unlimited times I take it?

    Yeah... you can.

    I can't get the damn game to load though. After finally getting the bloody thing installed... It just sits at the loading screen and jack happens. Grrrrrrr.
