![]() ![]() The post-ROKiT Williams design is included, with McLaren and Mercedes updates to follow due to the lateness of their changes. The new-for-2019 interview segments look absolutely identical this year.Ī given with a new F1 game, the latest driver swaps are also present and most of the livery updates are here. I mention it every year, but the representation of Spa is still wonky and what’s with the bumps upon entry to Lesmo 1 at Monza or the lack of bumps at Circuit of the Americas? Your engineer, Jeff, is still monotone and as non-essential as ever. Not an instant classic, but also not as dull as Sochi Autodrom.Īll of the tracks have been given a boost in vibrance, with some now sponsor decals and a more audible crowd (ironically), but are otherwise exactly the same. In practice, there are a couple of clumsy corners, but once you’ve learnt the layout I actually found myself enjoying it. It looked like an amalgamation of former F1 tracks Valencia and Korea International Circuit. There’s a couple of new locations for this game – not this season, of course – with Zandvoort in the Netherlands alongside the Hanoi Street Circuit in Vietnam. After watching the preview footage, I was underwhelmed by Hanoi. Which is to say weekly challenges, leagues, ranked and unranked options, plus F2 is available from launch this time. The structure of the online gameplay, however, remains identical. Not to be overlooked, this is the biggest change on-track. ![]() Making sure you have enough left for a last lap overtake is essential. The effect is much more pronounced and leads to more tactical use in online races especially. The hybrid Energy Recovery System (ERS) is much more straightforward this year, based on feedback from actual F1 drivers, now acting as an overtake button with a finite amount of available energy. Mildly less lively then before, the cars are slightly easier to handle, but that also places greater emphasis on tuning out the front push in order to rotate the chassis more keenly – something which will now be more essential in ranked online play. The fundamental handling is much the same, but perhaps with a sprinkle of additional understeer. ![]() This is a good thing, and I’ll tell you why with F1 esports having been shown on mainstream TV, my father is considering buying his first PlayStation to play the F1 game. You’ll find more assist options so that, like GT Sport, you can now select how slippy going off the circuit is and the menus offer more explainers to help ease you in. There’s even a driver perk system where you can unlock additional answers for post-race press Q&As.Įlsewhere, things have been tuned with the aim of attracting more casual players. Meanwhile, you can select a shorter season with as few as ten races and customise which tracks are included, although you cannot select the same track more than once. Matching a drivers reputation with your team’s stance is a tactical play you’ll need to get right, otherwise you may end up with Giuliano Alesi, and you don’t want that! Oh, and don’t forget to save enough cash for the end of the season in order to afford them.Įlements from the Driver Career transfer across, like invitational events in classic cars, only they now boost your Acclaim and thus feel more worthwhile. In order to sign the most reputable drivers on the grid for season two, your team needs to have enough Acclaim or Lewis Hamilton will snub your approach. Getting to team level ten, for example, enabled me to get a third sponsor, which meant more revenue. ![]() As levels increase, new paths to success will open. Your team has an overall Acclaim level which improves based on on-track performance, and so does every driver on the grid. You will have to select which departments to improve, where investing in the marketing team will help sponsor relations, while providing facilities will help reduce the resource points needed to add new aero parts to the car. You’ll also need to constantly juggle what happens between races, with training or PR events that can boost the morale of departments or improve your driver’s Acclaim level.Īh yes, Acclaim. ![]()
