I think it be that you have a certain type of distance window between yourself and the other cars to work with.

Sebastian Vettel got done in Hungary last year for that. He was leading the race when the safety car was deployed in response to the Kubica-Sutil incident in the pits. On the safety car in-lap, the race leader effectively becomes the safety car when the safety car itself peels off. Most drivers like to back the field up a little bit to bunch the field together to give a clear run when racing resumes; the last theing they want is to get caught behind the safety car before it peels off. But Vettel fell too far behind the safety car. The leader has to stay within ten car lengths of the safety car, but Vettel backed right off and got a drive-through for it. It's an obscure rule, and I think it was the first time it has actually been enforced.

The physics look much better, cant wait to see whats in store. I was a massive critic of F1 2010. Maybe I helped improve the next incarnation.

Haha, yes that's what he gets though. The F1 rules should be enforced... imo. 💡 But that reminded me of another part the developer talked about, which is that you are able to slow down the rest of the pack on the last safety car lap before resuming the race. It'll be interesting to see how that actually works in the game.

So jealous of everyone getting this game next Tuesday! Cruciatingly close to booking some days off work...

Yeah its my Birthday Tuesday and I booked the day of work but I'll have to get it next weekend.

Slightly disappointed that Co-Op championship is online only.

F1 2011 now preordered.

And boy, he wasn't happy about it, either. "Why?" quoth Vettel over the radio when the team told him had a drive-through. "We'll talk about it after the race," said the team in response. Or words to that effect from both sides. Memorable because it was the third race in a row that year to generate a major squabble (following RBR's wing-gate at Silverstone and "Fernando is faster than you" at Hockenheim).

I'm quite confident i've heard in one DevDiary that Co=op will be also in split screen

 

[prisonermonkeys]

No, it's only available online.

 

[United6694]

No, it's only available online.

Well, that sucks.

 

[Green]

You can do split screen just not a co-op championship which I think is ok, If my m8's come round and want a race I don't think their gona wana do a full season anyway, so this doesn't bother me. Will be interesting to see how the co-op championship works online I mean what happens if your friend gets fed up is that it season over or can someone replace him ??? 4 days left till I get to see

Yeah, I think that was posted within five minutes of it being released.

Been watching new F1 2011 videos as they pop up on Youtube. Really stoked for this game tomorrow. I'm not even going to unwrap the Gears 3 game until the weekend 👍

Silverstone's track setup must have changed. It doesn't look the same as it did in F1 2011. I don't get F1 races on tv so first time I'm seeing that. Looks cool. Also India looks awesome.

Tried that today but to no avail - none of the 5 stores I went to had it in stock already.

Hello, this will be a definiteve purchase for me, (PC)

I am very curious about knowing, which track they are referring to, when Codemasters says: "with the return of the iconic Nurburgring"

are they talking about the 73 corner Nordschleife track! (please please please) or is it just the GP version, and why would THAT be NEW?!

I believe they're talking about the GP track since it took the place of Hockenheim Ring this year for the season. And technically, it would be new as it was not included in 2010 (for obvious reasons).

Nordschleife in F1 2011 would make me soil myself.

Its the GP circuit. New, maybe because it alternates between that and Hockenhiem(spelling?) so it wasnt been fearured in F1 2010.

Nope, not at all - the Nordschleife hasn't been used for F1 races for a very long time.

Its the GP circuit. New, maybe because it alternates between that and Hockenhiem(spelling?) so it wasnt been fearured in F1 2010.

Indeed, the German GP is currently alternating between the Hockenheimring, near Mannheim / Saarbrücken, and the Nürburgring, located near Koblenz / Bonn.
