Anybody else playing this?
Got mine this week, and have tried it a bit. Not quite sure what I think of it...! So far it's quite buggy for me (PC version) with CTD's and losing sounds after a replay on several occasions. The 'controls not being saved' bug from DiRT3 is carried over to F1-2011 too, fortunately the solution's the same too..
The gameplay has improved in some parts, there's a lot less snap oversteer but rather a more gradual slide it seems. I still need more tweaking on the controls; the default settings feel like driving an eighteen-wheeler, but the settings from F1-2010 are way too sensitive. I thought I had it figured out after a test at Barcelona, but the same car was terribly oversteered at Silverstone.
The penalty system sucks once again like it did in the previous game: Make a bad start in the mid-field and you'll get an immediate warning for illegal blocking.. Needs patching again!
Both the KERS and DRS have been implemented in the game, meaning you'll have some more buttons to press during the race.
Just a quick test in the fast right-hander in Barcelona; trying to take it with the rear wing in the 'open' position:
