I was playing this online for the first time and couldnt get over the dirty tactics of loads of people. Everyone was brake testing me anytime I got close to them! Got a load of 10 second penalties!

That doesnt sound too good

Can that you get blocking penalties? seem to remember picking up one or two playing the Ai drivers

Doesnt sound so good if its easy to cheat

Is it possible to get offline multiplayer for xbox?

I just completed a small experiment to determine how much XP you get per online race:

Not for races, though there is a Time Trial Party mode, which is essentially 'pass the controller'.

Online races are amazing if you're not in the main Sprint lobbies.

Rank 50

Got a strange feeling I'm the highest ranked Irish driver on the Xbox leaderboard. If there are any guys here above #79 on the board lemme know

Any idea of when the patch will be out? Wont be buying until i see a quality patch released.

It's been sent off for approval, so we're waiting on Microsoft and Sony now.

For those who feel they need it, here's the fastest possibly way (I've found) to gain XP in F1 2010, I used it for the last 4-5 ranks as I wanted to get the Achievement out of the way and concentrate on having fun online instead of racing for points.

Once you've got that done click on an 'Available Slot' and add an AI Driver set to Legend difficulty. Do the same till the grid is full.

Once a second human driver enters (or a third even) start the races.

Choose 'Go to Race', ignore all setup options.

Cut the first corners by driving through the pit exit. (if you're 2nd on the grid you don't even have to steer into the pit exit)

Cut the first chicane.

Drive the second chicane normally.

Cut the third chicane.

Drive the hairpin normally.

Cut the final chicane, stay on the left and avoid the kerbs.

On average you will earn at least 1500 XP per race, and each race including loading times takes about 3 minutes. Doing the 19 races takes almost an hour, and my hourly average is about 40,000 XP. The higher the rank of all drivers involved, the more XP you get, so as you level up you'll level up faster in future.
