This short article will help you with the basics of using F1 2009 for Nintendo Wii.

Profiles
When you first use the F1 2009 Wii software, you will be asked to enter your profile details. First, enter your first name. Then, enter your last name. After that, enter a three-letter abbreviation for your profile (e.g. RIC). Choose your helmet and specify your country. Then press 'Confirm' .

Quick Start
If it's your first time on F1 2009, it's best to launch off your Formula One fun with a single race. When you've created your profile, select 'Quick Start' mode. Specify your driver, track and race settings, then press 'Confirm'.

Grand Prix Weekend
Compete in a full Grand Prix weekend with all practice and qualifying sessions and the race. Select your driver, race settings, and you're off!

Practice
The first two practice sessions last an hour and a half each. The last session lasts an hour. In practice, you can complete as many laps as you want. It's also the perfect opportunity to tune your car to the right set-up. Remember, practice is optional.

Qualifying
Like practice, qualifying is optional. However, if you do not post a single qualification time you'll find yourself sitting in a random place in the back half of the grid. Qualifying is split up into three parts, Q1, Q2 and Q3. In Q1, the slowest five cars drop out and takes grief slots 16-20. In Q2, the slowest five drop out again and fill places 11-15. In Q3, the remaining ten battle it out to determine sold position and the other nine slots.
