Title and link says it all, going to be great to see another AAA racing title on the mac!
I'm excited to see this, despite never having played a game on my mac at all. Hoping the experience at least matches that of the xbox version.
On a related note - anyone with experience using Steering Wheels on a mac? Any recommendations?
Hope this is available on Steam

@ JaguarGod: TNX for your gr8 post. Should be a sticky, IMHO.
Feral is doing gr8 stuff on the Mac, for ages already.
I got the F1 CS 2000 way back when the G4 was the most powerful CPU for the Mac. I even had the privilege to talk to one of their guys at the 2001 or 2002 Mac World Expo in Paris when the game was launched.
I assume everyone is having fun with Dirt 2 too?
I hope gamepads will be supported as well, namely the Logitech F-510 which I own. I imagine having a wheel must be cool but I'm more casual than that. A gamepad would suit me fine, assuming it works well with this title.
Speaking of casual, I hope the game supports an arcade mode of racing where I don't have to worry much about the simulation aspects of it with a more forgiving driving model, etc. I just want to hop in and enjoy the thrill of the racing itself pretty much.
Feral has a great track record of including gamepad support on their games. Also, most gamepads are recognized by Apple HID and if the game supports gamepads and OSX recognizes it, it should work.
As far as F1 2012 and the modes included, try HERE for information on everything the game has to offer. It is a review from the guys at Inside Sim Racing and they are very good at dissecting sim games. I will say that F1 2012 is a very good game. It includes many driving assists that should make for a driving experience you will enjoy. But it can also be a more sim-like experience for those of us hardcore racers and that is what is so nice about getting this game on OSX.
Not on launch, but perhaps later.

So, the FF works OK then? Are all the buttons - including the d-pad and all 6 individual ones on the main wheel - mappable? It's just that in your post #6 above you say the 2 banks of 3 buttons map as 2 only.Once dialing in the G27 FFB settings and killing most of the deadzones and saturation, the wheel feels about as good as it gets. It takes a bit to get the wheel to feel as reactive and realistic as you want, but once you do, the racing is smooth and fun.
So, the FF works does it?Yes, the G27 still has the problem with the buttons. But Feral has released a new piece of software in their support section for the G27 and other Logitech wheels called "FreeTheWheel". This unlocks the wheels "native" mode and all of the wheel, including the 900 degree rotation and the gated shifter, works. The only issue here is that it does unlock the 900 degrees and F1 cars don't use it. You can give it a try though.
