F1 2016 coming this summer

Codemasters have announced F1 2016, the official videogame of the 2016 FIA FORMULA ONE World Championship.

F1 2016’s new career mode spans 10 seasons and will take you deeper into the motorsport, both on and off the track. The recreation of the sport will be enhanced by the addition of the Safety Car and Virtual Safety Car, as well as the introduction of the challenging new street circuit in Baku, Azerbaijan for the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE.

For the first time, the practice development programme allows you to take advantage of the tests done by the teams on a grand prix weekend. Master each circuit with track acclimatisation tests, test your tyres and hone your race strategy, all whilst gaining Research and Development points to spend on upgrading your car.

In the new career mode, you’ll be able to select an avatar, as well as choose a number and helmet. You’re then free to choose from any of the FORMULA ONE teams, all with different goals and expectations. You can earn contracts and move from team to team, or choose to develop your favourite team into a championship contender.

Hospitality areas for each team will act as your game hub. In this area you’ll work with a voice-acted Research and Development Engineer and Player Agent to develop your progress both on and off the track.

F1 2016 will be available for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
