Does anyone know if this game has a simulation option for playing online ?.
Im hoping it will be like SCC, so you can set up a lobby with assists off, manual gears, and collisions off in sim mode.
Basicly somewhere to get away from the Donkey derby style racing with low skill players , like on GRID and SHIFT.
 
Direct from the manual.

MULTIPLAYER OVERVIEW
Within F1 2010, Multiplayer is separated into two distinct types, Quick Modes and Custom Match.

ONLINE XP
Whenever you race online you will gain Online Experience which contributes towards your Online Rank. Online Rank showcases your skills and sets you apart from other online players, it also allows you to custom filter rooms by driving ability showing who’s got the most experience and expertise behind the wheel.
You can earn Online Experience in Qualifying sessions by completing flying laps or finishing within the top 3. In the Race your XP can be earned by finishing within the top 10, completing a lap without incident and per lap if you finish the race. Be aware, if you do not finish the race, or are disqualified, all of the XP earned will be declared void.

THE PARTY LOBBY
The Party Lobby allows you to search for games as a single player, or form a group of friends who can join games together.
Once you’re done adding people to your Party simply select the quick mode which suits you best and choose Find Race to get started.

THE VOTING SYSTEM
The Online voting system enables you, and your fellow gamers, to skip any tracks that you don’t want to play or kick a disruptive player from your session. Votes are timed and winning a vote requires a simple majority.

QUICK MODES
Quick Modes allow you to quickly enter a game without having to change multiple settings beforehand. Within the Quick Modes, all cars are of equal performance and team allocation is random. Each Quick Mode comes with its own challenges; each bundled with its own set of predefined criteria. Whether you prefer the instant action of Pole Position, or something more in depth, like Endurance, the Quick Modes offer something for everybody.

POLE POSITION
Pole Position replicates the intensity of qualification. Each Pole Position race lasts 20 minutes and the winner is the player posting the fastest lap time.

SPRINT
A single race of 3 laps duration, with dry weather and with a randomized starting grid.

ENDURANCE
A single race of 20% length, with dynamic weather and with a randomized starting grid; this race will include at least one pit stop.

ONLINE GRAND PRIX
A single race of 7 laps duration, with dynamic weather. The starting grid is determined by a 15 minute qualification session and the player must pit at least once during the race.

CUSTOM GRAND PRIX
Custom GRAND PRIX allows you to use your own settings to create an online game, or set specific search criteria to find a game already in progress.

FIND SESSION
Finding a session that suits your requirements couldn’t be easier. Simply select Find Session, and then change your search criteria to match your preferences. When you’re finished setting things up, press to continue and the game will automatically filter sessions which match your search criteria.

CREATE SESSION
Create Session allows you to create an Online Session based upon your own specific criteria.
Upon entering the Create Session menu, you will be presented with a set of options which allow you
to alter all aspects of the session. These range from setting how many players you want within your
session to whether or not players joining the session may use any driving assists.

LEADERBOARDS
Selecting the Leaderboards will take you directly to the Online Leaderboards. Within these you can
compare your rank and number of wins against other players and your friends.
 
Thanks for the information, I'm looking forward to this game, not only does it have a good career mode, but also good online options, the XP system sounds similar to DIRT 2.
