Oh yes!
Bought 2010 on release day; played it a bit but got annoyed with all the bugs, then read they were going to release an update for it to solve all the issues so gave up.
Had a go a few months later expecting to have to download an update, but nothing, same problems, so after half hour gave up and not picked it up since.

There was a big patch, added DX11 and fixed a lot of bugs, apparently.
The only issue I have with 2010 (apart from the kerb physics and AI) is it occasionally crashes on the Loading screen. Oh and rules can be a bit random. :)

Mine was on Xbox, worst rule was if you were doing a 10 lap race or 25% you would have to pit but none of the other cars did. Sticking you at the back of the field.
Plus a slight bump would put you out of the race but no other cars would get damaged.

I can see that being an issue. It definitely didn`t do that on the PC, in fact at 10% often the AI would pit. We mostly play 20% online multiplayer (with a load of AI thrown in for good measure).
Not sure if you can race Xbox vs PC. The latter uses Windows Live so maybe you can.

I think you`ll enjoy it! My god it`s a tough learning curve from 2010 though. AI seems a lot better in some ways and worse in others. Car handling is completely different, but there doesn`t feel like any (if car touch specific kerb then spin) mechanics.
You can now really attack curbs that before you couldn`t remotely risk touching, and other places you can spin so much easier (almost ridiculously so) where before was fine. A lot of re-learning!
PC graphics are noticeably better than 2010, interface is WAY better. Co-op is great so far! Really really good, it`s like playing single player with a mate, no it is that!!!
Still getting used to DRS and Kers, got them sorted in qualifying but the actual race I`m confused as hell over DRS points heh.

Still struggling with the new driving physics, so easy to spin out. Which makes me a bit of a gentley bentley driver, so my laptimes are about 4-5 seconds off the pace.
Also, I have neck ache, even worse than 2010, I think its tension! Would it be wrong to wear a support brace like the real guys do?
