I bought F1 2012 yesterday and started my career with Scuderia Torro Rosso, set my car up based on last years game. I am 6 seconds slower than the HRT's :s I was good at the last game, what am I doing wrong? Any setup tips??
There's your problem. This isn't last years game, it's changed a lot. Set ups will be different.Didi_Raikkonenset my car up based on last years game.

Try professional or intermediate. That will be more realistic for you. I'm in a Force India and I need to have it on intermediate to be running in the midfield .
Didi_RaikkonenI didnt want to lower the difficulty but looks like ill have to :/ some work is still needed on the setup though, what happened to 1st amd 2nd practice??
God the AI are fast this year.

Shaggy AlonsoYes, you basically can take your F1 2011 setups but instead just use '1' at the rear wing, the car will still be balanced, even if you have 11 at the front.
To be 6 seconds off the pace of the slowest cars though is a more fundamental problem and it's got to be down to your driving style. You need to brake a bit earlier this year, and you can't carry the same speed through the corners or else you will understeer. Try tip toeing around the track, just coasting into corners, using very minimal steering inputs, I wouldn't be surprised if you start going faster immediately because to be that far off the pace sounds like you were overdriving the car, and perhaps hadn't retrained your brain to forget f1 2011's physics yet. F1 2012 requires a much lighter touch to go fast.

You know that it isn't just the game that changes but F1 that changes every year. The 2012 cars are different from last year.
You are right, but in all fairness, it is just a videogame.

you have to forget everything you knew about the tracks amd attack them in a completely different way

Cheers for the reply guys, i had a bit of time away from the game and when i came back to it the new update has fixed my steering complaints, the game feels much better now. P.S. no relation lol just a big fan, so glad of the recent win at Abu Dhabi!
