The reason it looks so good in F1 Online The Game (to give the game its full name) is because the track assets are all straig🌺ht out of F1 2011. Sure, they're not quite as complex, but there's no denyiౠng, it looks mighty authentic. You'll be racing online against other players across a variety of modes, from single races and time trials to a full championship season, complete with practise and qualifying sessions. There will be online leaderboards and social network features too.

All of the cars, tracks and drivers from the F1 2011 season will be featured, with you racing as them or even alongside them in your own team. And 'racing' is the key word. While it may look like an all-out management sim, with its near top-down viewpoint, apparently you'll be the manager and the driver. Quite how it's going to 🌳control remains to be seen, but we're intrigued.

which will also get you details ofthe beta wh💫en the time arises. Sounds good to us - what do you ﷽think?
