have started mycareer mode again on Expert, and am driving for Renault with Magnussen as my rival. Qualified 17th fastest for Melbourne which is more realistic than me being in a Williams and easily winning the race.

Im expecting my driving to get better too within a week - just purchased the Omega driving stand:
GT%20Omega%20Wheel%20stand1-500x500.jpg

along with the Thrustmaster Ferrari F1 wheel add on. When they arrive by post ill go down to JB Hi-fi and get the Thrustmaster 300RS set.

What are JB selling the t300 for? Should be able to get it online for ~$500

Bought this on the weekend. Absolutely brilliant (and so much better than the previous version).

I chose Renault in career mode (half race distances) and started on the emerging racer difficulty (medium maybe). Qualified 17th in Aus and managed to get up to 10th and with 2 laps to go, Vettel clipped me from behind and sent me spinning. Ended up 18th. Initially pissed off but had a lot of fun and felt realistic enough.

Then we moved onto Bahrain where I qualified 1st and ended up winning by 10 seconds. Felt completely unrealistic etc etc. Think I'll need to up the difficulty.

Game is amazing though. From the new start to tyre wear to the new tracks etc etc. Absolutely loved it!

what difficulty do you have it on? I started my career mode on hard using an analogue controller and won Melbourne comfortably in a Williams. Put difficulty on expert and changed teams to Renault which seems about right.

Think I was on hard (with a steering wheel). Is there a way to change difficulty mid career?

Before each race weekend you can change the settings for length, difficulty, weather etc, except I think if you went Pro Career which by default has everything on the highest setting and no assists.

Trying to get the trophy for 10 laps under the Safety Car. Cannot for the life of me trigger the safety car. Everytime I cause an incident that blocks the whole track, I get the VSC instead
 
Anyone know what the go is with the safety car and maintaining delta speed? Had it happen again where the cars in front of me take off into the distance, yet i had to slow down to a crawl, only for another car behind me to overtake me. So i upped my speed and ignored the delta speed and then copped a drive through penalty.

Driving in wet conditions is a great equalizer. Managed to set the fastest time in practice 3 on intermediates :)

Ahh yes, I know where you're talking about.

I've not seen the safety car or the VSC yet. Had an odd thing happen the other night though. Was racing at Baku and there must have been a collision behind me in the tight chicane type section - next thing I know, about 12 cars pop up as being 'out of the race'. By the time I came around for the next lap, there was no sign of anything there.

This worth playing on a controller? Don't have the $$$ for a steering wheel.

I play on controller and still love it. It's obviously better with a wheel, but I have no issues on the controller.

Definitely is. About the only thing that is too hard to achieve with an analogue controller is the tyre wear management program in practice, but it doesn't matter if you miss 50 resource points each track. Can still earn a bunch of RP other ways to develop your car.

I've had 2 mates try the game using an analogue controller and they've both gone out and bought the game too :) One mate is gonna get a Logitech wheel 2nd hand off gumtree which is a good idea if you're on a budget. Just needs to be a g27 or g29. The g25's aren't compatible.

It's hard but can be done , small tip if you havent tried but always change to the hardest compound tyre available when doing the tyre test.

I assume the difficulty affects your tyre wear, but I'm only playing on Hard and have purpled the Tyre Wear challenge with a controller on a few tracks with the suggested tyre.

You must have the touch of a midwife to purple tyre wear with a controller. Ive done green twice and was almost in the red.
 
The thing with the tyre management challenge is you almost have to ignore the racing line or hard inline turns. Its more angling the car through the bends than full on turning. I can get purple tyre wear pretty easily, but getting within the delta time on harder difficulties is the real challenge.
 
Just had the best race!! Qualified 18th at China and was pissed off my rival Magnussen got 17th on the chequered flag.

So race starts and i take advantage of the AI being far too courteous of someone diving up the inside of a corner. I am P10 after the first lap, then i stay out longer than everyone else and only Hamilton overtakes me before a safety car comes on. Friggin Alonso overtakes me under yellow while i was browsing the various car options. I didnt slow down that much but he overtook me nonetheless, then when i tried to retake it i was told to give the position back. Anyway when the flags turn green i get a good slipstream on him down the straight and overtake before even turning into to T1, but the bastard clips my rear end and he spins out while i manage to drift about 100m and hang on. Net result is i stay in P2 while Alonso causes all sorts of chaos behind and gives me an 11 second lead which i manage to hold on to until the end of the race!

TLDR: got a podium with Renault at China on Expert difficulty. FWIW i had a crack at the next difficulty up and it seems impossible. Cant even keep up with the train in a Mercedes.
