I can always tell when people who I follow on Twitter are playing F1 2010. Tales of bugs, punctures and penalties permeate through the normal tweets of “I’ve just bought some bread from the shops”. Those who are on the verge of giving up should be cheered to hear that a patch for the game has been finished, and is now in the submission process with Sony and Microsoft.
Codemasters Community Manager, Ian ‘Helios’ Webster, has said the following:
“The team have been hard at work and as a result we have now completed all internal testing on the patch. The patch is now in submission with Microsoft and Sony for all 3 platforms, and once this process has been successfully completed the patch will be released, ready for you to download.”

Will it also stop me automatically spinning if i run off into a gravel trap? Very unrealistic

looking forward to this patch, hopefully it will make the tsa championship more fun, for others at least. random punctures are my way of finishing higher than you lol

The patch can’t come quick enough.
One thing that I haven’t heard about fixing is the ability to choose your engine at the start of the weekend in career.

sold mine on ebay already. was a great game but to many frustrating aspects took away the enjoyment/fun, i would find myself grinding my teeth with fury at something which if playtested properly should never have arisen.
will wait for f1 2012
