FAO Lee... F1 Championship

[Lee]

Yeah pretty much. In career you do either 3,5 or 7 seasons. Doing 7 you have to start in either a Lotus, Virgin or HRT

So if you chose a 7 year season and say start at lotus and at the end of your first season performance depending can you have offer from other teams such as mclaren

 

[Lee]

Not as high up as McLaren in a 7 season career. You would need to work your way up to getting a drive for McLaren.

do you generally have to wait until the end of the season to change teams? or can it be done mid season if your over excelling yourself...?

As far as I can remember, you can't move mid season. It's not something that's common in F1, and FOM didn't like the idea of us including it.

Sounds awesome Lee

Have you done many full length races?

Only a couple to be honest. I've not had the time. The ones I did were Multiplayer too. The way the whole strategy thing plays out is epic. You could be running at the front for most the race as everyone else stopped earlier, or ran the options for the start, then at the end you pit and you're right back in the pack.

Loads of reviews coming in now. All 85% +.

I milked a few before I had to give my disc back. lol We won't get our copies of the game until the 24th. As we worked on it we get a proper retail disc, where as the games the company did we only get press copies.

 

[Marcus---]

i guess it doesnt really bother you though waiting till the 24th, most of us are hoping for a 22nd/23rd delivery

hard life...

 

[Lee]

It's not fun. I'm working on fuel burn rates. All I want to do right now is play Halo Reach.

 

[Revels]

Can you set up your own fuel for the full length races? So you could possibly run out?

I'm getting increasingly tempted to buy this, but I suck at racing games. Hmmmm.

 

[Lee]

No, we always give you a full tank for the race, but you can run out based on driving style and using the fast throttle setting.

Great reviews coming in, I can't wait to get stuck in to some full-length races.

I love the sound of all the little options (such as choosing where you start in practice / quali etc), seems like people have really thought about things. Take Forza for example, if you want to do a hot lap of the Ring you need to do an entire standing start lap first!

 

[Lee]

We also take in to account fuel used and tyre wear over the course of the lap which the player has chosen to skip.

 

[Krispwee]

Ive not really been catching certain questions so sorry if its been asked before but do you get to take part in the parade lap before the race? Bit sad but I always find this quite fun in other games

 

[Lee]

No parade lap.

lee when you racing and the weather changes from dry to wet do you get a warning like they do in races? like this is a 5 minute shower etc ?

Depending on the severity of the weather, sometimes your race engineer will let you know what's going on. He'll also tell you when another driver has swapped to a different tyre, and when they're lap times are looking stronger than yours.
