Hey guys,
I am new to F1 racing, just picked up the game a couple weeks ago and I love it.
However, I am having a hard time understanding the pre-race stuff...the Qualifying, Flying Lap, Drive Out (?), I think that's what it's called...I did like 15 laps at Australia and it seems like the race doesn't end. What is the purpose of doing all those laps? Is it to get a starting position in the race? What is the difference between short and long weekends, and what are the purpose of doing those laps before the race? I noticed there is a timer that counts down...am I supposed to keep doing laps until the timer expires?
Can anybody explain these to me please? I am not doing career yet, just doing Grand Prix to get familiar with things. I am not looking to win as of yet, just learn the tracks and get familiar with F1 rules.
I got F1 2011 after doing the FGT in Gran Turismo 5 and got hooked. Never got into F1 racing until now and I am totally loving the cars and tracks. Thanks in advance.
