Default Codemasters F1 2011

I bought the PC version before Christmas. It's pretty darn cool. I have had Grand Prix 3 and Grand Prix 4 with the update patches but they don't compare to F1 2011. Especially since the new game has all the modern updated tracks and drivers. Does anyone else have it. I've been doing some on-line racing which is interesting to say the least.
How is it that I can have my car set up the best that I can. Always beat the AI, but in an on line race have somebody go flying past me through a corner that seems to be impossible to manage? It's just a game, I know and there are cheaters with crack codes and such.
PM me if you do on line racing with F1 2011, either xbox, PS3 or pc.

My PC is running an AMD 6800 series video card setup with eyefinity. I've got 3- 23" monitors in sync with a home made gaming station complete with racing seat, Microsoft force feedback wheel/pedals. It's as close as I'm going to get in the winter months to spirited driving.

I have 2010 and must say it is one of the most realistic racing simulators around for F1.
I would love to see EA Sports make a new F1 game on the current gen consoles, as I loved them on my PS2

Video card Sapphire Radeon HD6870 900MHZ 1GB 4200MHZ. ATI eyefinity

If you're into "sim" racing and have a PC setup, you need to check out iRacing. It is FANTASTIC. The online racing is intense and very realistic. It is an incredibly valuable training tool if you are serious about improving your driving skills and getting up to speed at real world tracks like Mosport, Laguna Seca, VIR, Lime Rock Park, Mid Ohio, Spa, Suzuka, etc.

^ the wire tuck will be done. I was still in the trial stages of trying out the set up. Had to modify the steering column. It had too much side to side play due to the smaller tubing. It's now, almost completed, just re painting the additions.
