Two bits of news from those who managed to grab the game early:
- Race weekends can only be selected in 3 lenghts; Short (15 min practice, one shot quali, 25% race), Normal (30 min practice, 15 min quali, 50% race) and Long (60 min practice, 18 min Q1, 15 min Q2, 12 min Q3, 100% race). As far as people can tell, there is no way to get the 3 separate qualifying sessions unless you commit to 100% races. Expect a bit of backlash for this, but at least mid-session saves exist for this purpose.
- Safety Car feature has seemingly been removed. No options for it in the menus and no footage has been seen of it. I imagine they've done a FIFA with it and held it for later games. And as far as I can tell no Virtual SC feature has been included either.
