Well managed to get the game running before I went off to work. I had 20 minutes to get a quick few laps, and it is soooooo annoying. I had to sit through nearly ten minutes of sodding videos!!!
Eventually started career mode, left most the drivers aids on except for braking (it's called getting away with it 'cos I'm a girl!

). Got the Lotus to 1st in qualy (seeing as I was the first car out, went down to the back of the grid, and secured 6th place on the very last lap. Almost crashed when I realised I was coming up on Massa to pass him!
Did the first race, and I think I've realised how the human players are beating far faster cars, as I think I was a lot better in the corners, as the other cars have got a lot more straight line speed on me, but I am getting so pissed off at putting 1mm of tyre on the slippy stuff and spinning out, yet other places having the car half on half off the kerbs and accelerating.
Just got to wait for my wheel now
