The length of this game mode varied, depending on the selected track. The winner was the first person to finish at the end of the 3 laps. The starting grid for this event was randomized and held in dry weather. The winner was the user that set the fastest lap time. This game mode lasted 20 minutes and was designed to replicate qualifying. Users can create a custom lobby or select from the following quick game modes, in which matches are automatically created:

The Mutliplayer game mode allows users to compete against other users running the same console, via the internet. Users can then compete against each other. Users simply enter the weather settings, number of players, and number of the laps.

The Time Trial Party enabled users to compete against each other on the same console. Time Trial Party is a mode similar to the Time Trial mode. Users have the option to download 'Ghost Laps' from the online leader board (internet required). Users can still select the track weather. For this mode, damage, tyre and fuel simulation is automatically disabled. Users could select any one of the tracks on the 2010 calendar, where they could compete to set the track record. Users selected a driver that they wanted to be, from the drivers in the 2010 season. They were able to select multiple tracks and chose weather conditions for the track. In the Grand Prix game mode, users were able to chose from all of the tracks on the 2010 calendar. Midway through the season, users will have a chance to select a rival, based upon their current standings in the season. To gain these opportunities, users must beat their teammate to gain the position as the number one driver for the team. Users will participate in all of the race weekends in the 2010 season and will have chances to enter practice sessions to assist the team in research and development. Users will also have the option to change the design on their helmet, by selecting either a generic or national pattern. The paddock is equipped with press and team trailer containing an agent. The user's paddock (main menu) will be changed based on the team that the user drives for in the career mode. Users start with an 'entry level' team, but can build up a reputation big enough to gain a contract with the higher teams. This game mode allows users to take part in a 3 year, 5 year, or 7 year career.
