Tuning Menu Settings: Experience – A higher experience score will help players collect a greater number of ‘Resource Points’, used in the game to buy car upgrades. What they have done, though, is to make the split screen multiplayer mode an actual thing again (why was it ever deemed unnecessary?!). As a veteran of racing games from the last three decades, I can assure you that this is good news and well worth making use of with friends. The split screen offers endless fun for two sofa racers, with a minimal drop in detail and a solid frame rate Daddy Is Getting Closer You can use these as a base, and then adjust them to suit your own driving style from there. If you prefer the kerbs to be a little harsher, or the wheel a little heavier, you can use our overview above to change each individual setting. Career Mode has been expanded, and you can now start your career with a full season in the junior category and advance to F1; or go down the route of the new My Team mode. This allows you to create a 21st team, and you can sign your own drivers (initially from the youth categories), power units, create your own (predictably garish) team livery and assign cash/resource points to develop your car.

Awareness – A higher score here will mean the driver is less likely to lose control of their car when the going gets tough. So the racing itself is pretty much as perfect a representation of F1 as a PS4 can muster and the new management element is a weighty addition which adds a huge amount of gameplay to a game already stuffed to the gunnels with racing joy.

You know something’s gone awry when Codemasters release the latest in its annual Formula 1 series in line with the beginning of the real F1 season. Usually the developer’s fashionably late; this year, thanks to a worldwide pandemic delaying the start of the season, it’s downright punctual. We’ve become accustomed to seeing modest changes to the series on an annual basis – there are only so many things you can change to an already superb Formula 1 simulator, after all – and the same is also technically true this year. However, given that this is the only way to get a full season of the motorsport in 2020, perhaps this is a more important release than usual – especially for fans.While racing has more of a toe in simulation (although ERS has been simplified), it’s not iRacing levels of realism. Disable all the assists (which I’m not brave enough to do), and you’ll set yourself up for a more challenging drive. The tweaks made to the handling are welcome. It feels smoother and braking distances are shorter, so you’ll need to judge it correctly when jostling for position.

The wealth of driving aids will help those looking to (literally) get to grips, with race styles in Standard and Casual. The former is for experienced racers and allows for assists to be switched on or off. Casual offers the most accessible F1 experience, removing the more complicated systems and throwing on assisted steering. So overall, this edition of F1 from Codemasters easily trumps all previous efforts from them and other developers who came before them. There is an enormous amount of content here, and it’s accessible enough for non-devotees of Formula 1 to enjoy, but with enough complexity and depth to blow away fans and sate their virtual Grand Prix needs. a b Suttill, Josh (15 April 2020).

Rumble Strip Effects The split screen multiplayer option works extremely well and allows different car set ups for inexperienced sofa buddies who may not have played the game before. Kudos to Codemasters for adding in an option which may be seen as inessential these days. Online multiplayer is as good as ever with no problem finding races or tournaments so even if you bought the game just for multiplayer larks, you’d be happy.

[9] F1 2020 introduces a team management feature known as "My Team" which allows the player to create, own, and run an eleventh team. [7] The player will initially need to choose an engine supplier, recruit a second driver, design a livery and sign sponsors. As the career mode progresses, they will be able to upgrade the facilities at their team's headquarters and hire staff to continue development.

Speaking of which, you really can have your own car in F1 2020. In the new My Team section, you have a whole separate Career-style mode in which you make up the eleventh team on the grid. This means creating your own team from scratch, deciding your team name, setting your team colours and livery, recruiting drivers, and managing all of the commercial agreements and the expectations each of them place on you. Truth be told, it’s a complicated mode – you’re responsible for everything you would be in Career mode, such as directing the car’s research and development, testing, and racing, in addition to a whole lot more. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by all the text on screen, even though the game tries its best to remind you of what needs doing through voice over prompts. It perhaps feels a little bit too F1 Manager to us, preferring the more focused driver Career mode in the longer term, but this is clearly a welcome addition and your mileage may vary. There’s a fair degree of depth involved but enough initial hand-holding and explanations not to make the management aspect too daunting.
