Unlike eg Shift or GT5 I have changed no steering settings and it worked very well from the start. One senses such as exactly when a vehicle starts to slide. The good driving feel is the biggest selling point for me. The force feedback is perfect. A steering delay is not noticeable. Playing with the Gamepad is much more difficult than with the steering wheel, if you read the comments on it in the net.
The graphics are only average, nothing compared to GT5. The sound is better on some models, with some less well met.
The campaign has to "heavy" so many tough challenge. I think the difficulty level but not higher than Gran Turismo 5. It is true that the difficulty of the race varies to race.
Most can you win a race, or offer a certain time. One particular story or movies are not provided, you simply work your way from race to race and get the story as a text to read it. The races are great fun, as you drive (usually same vehicles as their own) against evenly Gegenr.
Most cars and tracks you have to first unlock. Is really a shame that virtually no data, except Year and top speed on the individual models are offered.
The vehicle list contains almost all legendary Ferraris to the current cars and the famous Formula 1 cars. A damage model is not really there, a few scratches and dents - that's it. In "heavy" can the race anyway forgotten when crashes.
There are 4 different camera angles, HUD may be hidden. Each vehicle has a lifelike interiors. If you immerse yourself Show only the speedometer, it corresponds to the original.
Driving aids can not activate individually and not even during the race you. If one wants ABS, you can also get traction control and stability program. You can not change anything on the car (no Tuning), which I do not consider as a disadvantage.
The routes are interesting and very well chosen (Nurburgring, Silverstone, Monza, etc.). German Synchro is not included, but the lyrics are completely German.
ADDENDUM:
