F1 2012 is Codemasters' Formula 1 game, shown here in the Xbox 360 version. The page lists achievements with Gamerscore points. For example, one asks you to successfully use a Flashback during the Young Driver Test. The text is practical and should be read with the game open, so you can check each step as you practice. It's a page designed for those who want to quickly consult it while playing, without having to read long explanations.

Race Tips
Tyres: you have 4 sets of tyres and strategy matters. Options give the best grip in dry weather but wear quickly; Primes give average grip and last longer.
Qualifying: set your fastest lap on tyres that are not heavily worn, so you start the race on less worn tyres. It is best to do runs of 2-4 laps and not use tyres that have started to wear.
Braking: with the racing line assist, start braking just before the line turns from yellow to red.
Setup: Time Trial gives you ideal conditions and is the quickest way to find a stable setup.
