It isn't 'GriD with F1 Cars' though, is it? So the cars don't feel anything like GP4 then?

Is the patch out? I just found this:

Has anyone tried it out yet - does it fix any of the issues that people have outlined?

Yes and yes. Been out for about a week and it's made a lot of difference. Still some issues that need correcting, but the main ones are fixed imo. The AI in the Wet is still inconsistent, but the game is far more playable. Punctures are now at a reasonable rate, the AI for pit stuff is great, etc.

I'm very tempted to get that. Even though it won't work on this laptop I'm expecting to get a proper desktop soon and I might splash out on a joystick a bit further down the line.

I've just bought it, should be ready in 2 hours - then there's the patch to install as well of course.

It's a very good game, but one thing that really stands against it (on PC at least) is the fact that it seems you can't fine tune an Xbox 360's pad sensitivity - as I suspected due to the things I was reading about it. The handling isn't bad, but it could certainly do with a bit of tweaking. Why just give advanced settings to wheels? Every other racer I've ever played has allowed the tweaking of gamepad sensitivity as well as wheels.
I wish they actually had trackside marshals waving the flags, instead of the sign appearing at the top of the screen. The game is so realistic - the exit sequence from the garage is brilliant (apart from the fact you can't control the car yourself in the pit lane - why? I would've thought part of the experience of 'living the life' is having to manually drive in and out of pit lanes?)
Also, the engineer keeps telling me to copy my team mate's setup - how the heck do I do that?
Going back to my own quote, it's definitely not GRiD with F1 cars and I think the cars don't feel that different to GP4's - handling's a bit easier, and it feels a bit 'loose' (but that's down to the pad's sensitivity needing tweaking). It is certainly a very solid base to build a really good F1 franchise on.
One other thing - where's 'The Chain'? It's an official F1 game, yet it hasn't got the official BBC theme tune - has anyone modded that in yet? That theme tune is F1 to me!

I'm pretty sure that line is a bug - the patch changelog says that it's fixed an issue where you're told to copy your team mate's setup.
Great game this, a real solid foundation for a great franchise.
Are there any mods you'd recommend?

I'm on PS3, so no mods here.
11th at Shanghai in the Lotus earlier (Maximum difficulty, all aids off, etc). Good race, but realistically miles away from 10th (30 seconds over 50% race distance).
