GAME MODES CAREER QUICK MATCH In Career mode you can live out the dream of becoming a FORMULA ONE driver. Decide your own fate by taking a minnow team to the top, or work hard on the track to get a contract with your favourite team. Quick Matches allow you to quickly enter a game without having to configure any settings beforehand. Whilst in Quick Match, all cars are of equal performance and team allocation is random.
ON-TRACK OBJECTIVES PENALTIES In some game modes your team will give you objectives at the start of each session. These objectives can be reviewed via your race engineer and are also shown on the live timing screen as a thin blue line. F1 2011 utilises a penalty system when you are out on track. This system determines whether you have broken the rules of FORMULA ONE; be it for causing another car to crash, corner cutting or other unsportsmanlike behaviour.
KERS TYRES The KERS – Kinetic Energy Recovery System is a continuation of the power boost system first introduced in the 2009 season and adds up to 80BHP to the 2011 vehicle performance. For the 2011-2013 Championships the official tyre supplier is Pirelli. KERS provides up to seven seconds of power boost per lap triggered from a button on the driver’s steering wheel. The driver may use KERS at any point in the race and the KERS battery is topped up when the car passes the start/finish line.
