The higher you place in each race, the more points you receive, and the closer you are to the Constructor's Cup.

Problems

Stuttering Cutscenes

As of 4.0-5394, the EA Sports logo during the intro can stutter/freeze using default settings. Setting Texture Cache Accuracy to Medium (middle position) or Safe (left position) solves the issue.

Extremely Long Loads

This game takes a very long time to load (90+ seconds) and has no feedback during the initial chunk. The load times on console are only about 15 seconds, so this is a defect in Dolphin. Fixed by 5.0-2431.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
4.0	Windows	Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 3.4 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6950	F1 2002 HD Widescreen Hack	Spartacus
4.0-5394	Ubuntu 14.10	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650	Almost perfect with default settings. The intro cutscene fails to update properly without texture cache accuracy medium, and occasionally microstuttering occurs at the beginning of a race, but during gameplay there's zero problems. Constant 100% speed even at 3x IR.	Xerxes
4.0-9154	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-660 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670	Game takes very much to load (loading screen). playable though	Steven
4.0-9154	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.8 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760	Game takes forever to load, seemingly hanging, but watching the file monitor reveals it's not stuck. It eventually does load after quite a long wait. On console this wait is extremely long as well, but, I'm not sure if it is this long. Speedup disc transfer rate removes this long wait.	JMC4789
