![]() This is the mode for dedicated F1 racers. ![]() You can improve your car via dedicated research and development sessions, and races are much longer (minimum length is 25% of a real-life F1 grand prix) than in Season Challenge, which brings in wear and tear to your tyres and mid-race pit-stops. The Drivers Championship is up for grabs too, so it’s all to play for.Ĭareer is a more traditional F1 experience that spans five years, with nineteen races per year. You start off in a low-level team such as Caterham or Marussia, but can earn better cars by selecting a rival and beating them in a best two out of three series to win their car. Season Challenge is a fast-paced game that squeezes an entire F1 career into just ten races of three laps each. Performing well on the Young Driver Test has the tangible benefit of unlocking better teams for you to start your career at, so it’s not just window dressing. First off, and the most important stop for new racers, is the Young Driver Test, which puts you through an increasingly challenging series of tests. All of the game modes from previous years return, so there’s Grand Prix mode where you race as the current real-life driver of your choice in a single race or full season, Career mode, multiplayer races both online and offline (split-screen or LAN), and the Proving Grounds for some scenarios and time attack/time trial modes.Ĭareer Mode is where you are likely to spend most of your time, and there are four game options available. With the capable folk at Codemasters developing the game for the fourth straight year I was looking forward to F1 2013.į1 2013 is fully licensed once again, and includes all 19 circuits (as well as two classic F1 circuits – Circuito de Jerez and Brands Hatch), 11 teams and 22 drivers from the 2013 Formula One season. As far as video games go, Super Monaco GP remains one of the most played and enjoyed racing games of my lifetime. I took sides in the Ayrton Senna – Alain Prost rivalry of the 80s and 90s, as well as the Michael Schumacher – Damon Hill spat, and in the past few years I’ve cheered Mark Webber against Sebastien Vettel (despite the fact they are teammates). ![]() Although I wouldn’t claim to be an avid fan, I’ve always had a bit of time for Formula One.
