HAHAHA PATIENCE IS VIRTUE.
I only get to spend a good 1 hour with it... and i have to say, i'm impressed.
Graphics - Track details are much better than F1CE, not as sharp as GT5 and the cars are very good, just dont expect GT5 la. Quite good nonetheless. Rain effects are not bad... although i feel it could have been better.
Sound - Well, the engine sounds are music to my ears.. soundtrack is not bad though.
Gameplay - Physics wise... i think this game is for racing simulation fans only, the car behaves exactly how you expect it to behave. Just not quite physics obsessed as GT5P ... but to get a feel on how FC cars handle, play GT4.
AI is really really really really impressive in my opinion.... early stages, yeah, they are slow but you can really see the potential of the AI in the later stages... they are really aggressive, dont expect to overtake them easily, just when you thought you want to outbrake them in to a hairpin, they'll cover the inside line and always catch you by suprise... and they learn your favourite overtaking spots... like in a straight,, they wont stay on one side of the road... they'll be in the middle leaving you just enough room, a little mistake, you might just end up in grass..
GREAT AI.. Best AI in my opinion.
Hmm, what else did i miss ? I think this game is for racing sim fans.... if you prefer GRID than GT5, then you should avoid this, but if you hate GRID... this is for you and if you are a Ferrari fan, GET IT !!
With System 3 promising future DLC like Nurburgring etc etc tracks... what the hell are you waiting for ?? Haha

9/10

And i forgot about damage, let's just say, it has damage, and it's better than not having damage at all *looks at GT5P*
