There seems to be very little footage of the Ferrari F10 yet so here is some that I recorded myself. The lap time needs some work, but once I get the car setup sorted out that should easily improve.

Enjoy :) (Sorry about the sound of my brother clicking his PC mouse in the background)

I did buy it.

If you try to enter A-Spec mode with the F10 selected a message pops up saying "The Ferrari F10 '10 can only be used in single-make Ferrari F1 events." (or words to that effect). So I'm assuming that there is a Ferrari F1 special event unlocked by reaching a very high level. I'm level 25 at the moment.

I haven't done any of the endurance races yet. I've only recently unlocked the first one (300km of Grand Valley Speedway). But I'll be giving them a go soon.
 
I've completed the first endurance event. The only A-Spec event prior I'm missing in the FormulaGT championship, and I just bought the FormulaGT yesterday. My first lap out with it on the A-Spec race makes it look like that will be a nightmare of a championship, much harder than all events before and after it (the lvl 24 championship).

Although it is a used car, and I didn't do the chassis restore yet. Hopefully that speeds it up. The AI appears to be too fast and aggressive for me spend that long on a 120-lap championship if it isn't a "lock."
 
4.8M credits..... if you can get it to appear in the used car dealership. It is very strange that you can't use one of the Ferrari F1 cars. They go to all the effort to get them in the game, and then go and require you to use the crappy standard F1 car from GT4? Bizarre.

Finishing off the Extreme Series will award you with a Level 24 reward card, and the Ferrari F1 cars are the only level 24 cars in the game, so you'll get one of them.
 
Drop your downforce levels by several notches and you'll knock several seconds off the time. You want to be aiming for 340km/h on the front straight but also managing about 260-270km/h coming out of Ascari. Balance it up.

Hey, can you upload a video with the onboard camera in the Top Gear's track ?
 
Wouldn't be surprised if there is a licence issue there with FOM, the reason why it can only race with other Ferraris and not in a 'F1' race with the Formula GTs

The downforce levels in the video are already at the absolute minimum. The issue must be with the gear ratios as far as I can tell.

Hmm, the car looks very draggy and seems to have loads of braking stability. Please tell me PD didn't mess up with the F1 cars again :nervous:

The vid is in mph, not? Because otherwise it would be phenomenally slow...

It is but I'm used to looking at the steering wheel readout (top left number is speed in km/h) and since F1 is in km/h on TV, it's what I'm used to as well.

It definitely feels a lot more "draggy" than the F2007 did in Prologue and it is very stable under braking. I really can't figure out why it won't go quicker on the straight. When I shot that video the car was definitely running at minimum downforce and with the top speed in the gear ratios menu set to 217mph. It never even gets close to that speed though.

It's because the downforce levels are actually higher due to the double/treble + blow diffuser, also, power is pegged back because of the engine rules.

You're right with those facts, but its important to compare the in game lap with the real life times. The lap time in my video is around 1min 30secs, the fastest I've managed so far is a low 1:29. The real lap time this season in this car was 1:21.9. The top speed managed this year on the main straight at Monza in this car was just below 220mph. I'm lucky to reach 205mph, even with the downforce set to an absolute minimum.

In the F1 2010 game, in the same car, I have matched the real life lap time and top speed. I'm hoping that I simply haven't found the right way to setup the car yet in GT5. Though part of me is worried that Polyphony might have just messed up with their version of the car.

It can only race in a one make Ferrari F1 race. The Formula GT is a completely different car in performance, so it would just not be right to put them together.

Online there's an option as lobby leader to only race with the F1's...
 
I'm now convinced the F10 is too slow in GT5 compared to real life or even the F1 2010 game. Regardless of what setup changes I make the top speed isn't even close to the real life top speed for any circuit. I've tried a variety of setups at Monza, Nurburgring GP, Suzuka and Monaco. The handling feels exactly the same whether downforce is minimum or full and the top speed barely creeps over 200mph, again regardless of downforce or gear ratio.

I'm really disappointed with the lack of attention this car seems to have gotten during development. Surely if you're going to bother to include it at all you might as well make it capable of true to life lap times. I'm sure people will be able to do those times eventually with some crazy method, but as a seasonsed F1 sim player I know I should be capable of putting in those times already without screwing around with unrealistic setups.

I'll be interested to see what solutions other players find to get the proper speed out of this car once more people have unlocked it.

In reality, the F1 teams run a completely different aerodynamic package for Monza than what is in the game. Monza-spec cars have minimal wing and slightly different front wings.
As for the gearbox issue, I can't explain that.

Fuel may make a difference.

If that's the case then there should be an option to change fuel load in the settings menu. As it is at the moment, you can't reduce the fuel load in time trial and I haven't got access to any Ferrari F1 only events to see if fuel depletion in race conditions make a difference. In any case, a full fuel load in F1 does not make a car 8 seconds slower per lap (which is how far off real times it is atm). It could only account for 3-4 seconds of additional laptime.

Drag levels between 2007 and 2010 are very similar - in fact, drag levels are lower this year since the top speeds are higher than 2007 despite a little less power (probably 10-20BHP less).

The F2007 in the Prologue was very poorly modelled. You could get over 200mph with even max downforce which is ridiculous. It seems like they've messed up again with the F10. Gah! F1 cars are my all-time favourite racers and as an F1 fanatic (and an engineer) I'm very anal about them being right.

Can you tell me what the power for the F10 is in the tuning menu? Standard power? And torque?

EDIT: (Misread post, my bad)

More downforce doesn't have to be more drag though, diffusers typically add less drag than the same amount of downforce from a rear wing.
