It’s called The Run. Three-thousand miles of unforgiving asphalt from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. Armed with just his guts and instinct, Jack battles a field of the most notorious drivers ever assembled. Dense city streets, icy mountain passes and narrow canyons push his driving skills to the limit. Relentlessly hunted by the police, as well as the men who want him dead, Jack is racing for his life.

F1 2011 has now been released in the UK.
I have played it for an hour or so and I am liking it.
It is a improvement over F1 2010, only have tried grand prix (not done a race yet just pratice) and time trial.

I am using my Xbox 360 wireless wheel on the PC, as it seems better then the controller.

So for me not just having to get use to the Wheel (not used it for about a year), I am also getting use to the handing model (tyres etc…) and Kers and DRS, but am getting there slowly.

I have added the F1 2011 PS3 Trophies and pre-dated them to the same day as the Xbox 360/GFWL achivements post.

The fourth and final F1 2011 developer diary video video features all new gameplay footage and reveals the all-new Safety Car in action alongside a range of season updates that make the game feel ‘completely different.’

“Safety car – a lot of people have been asking us for it. We’d always said we’d only do it when it was absolutely right, so now it’s available in single player and multiplayer,” said Stephen Hood, Chief Games Designer.

“It’s the wild card in the pack,” added Paul Jeal, Senior Producer. “Maybe you’re out in front, maybe you think you’re out the points, and then this key event comes in. Can you dive into the pits and get a lap advantage on everyone else? You have to keep the distance to the car in front of you and behind, you need to do the weaving sequences to keep your tyres up to temperature”
