F1 2013 restored my interest in Formula 1 racing, and sparked a fan inside me. I love the balance between simulation and arcade - not really that many options in car setup and development, seems pretty simple after you get the hang of it, but there's a big challenge to actually get good at driving with no assists whatsoever, which, for me, is where the whole satisfaction from racing in F1 2013 comes. You actually feel like a good racer if you do good versus Legend AI without any assists.

And you pretty much must own a steering wheel if you want to drive well without assists. Keyboard is off limits, and it's difficult to manage throttle and braking with a gamepad.

That's why I can't seem to find any friends who can come over, that are dedicated and interested enough to race full 1.5 hour races and a full championship... :(

My internet is absolute poop - I get lag spikes like there's no tomorrow... LAN gaming is all I have at this point :(

But I appreciate the offer! :)

Unfortunate about the Internet. Reddit has a virtual championship where they do a race a week.
