daft Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Anyone else really looking forward this? There are some annoying things already come to light, among other things no custom team because of licensing and no changing teams one you start a game, but it still looks really good for us F1 fans. Out in Early Access on the 25th and about a week later for non-preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Should probably have included some footage as well, but it looks relly, really nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I might take a look at this, I love the F1 and I love Football Manager so this could be a must buy for me. I'll take a look at that video later, it all depends on how much it is going to cost of course, if it is going to be a £60 effort then there is no chance.

It is about that unfortunately, with a 10% discount for pre-ordering. But do check it out. I'll dump some initial impressions in here oce I got it installed and get some playtime on Thursday or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's rubbish try Motorsport Manager with one of the excellent mods that add real names/teams and features that add a lot of play time. I think the biggest ones are called Fire/Ice and I believe they are regularly updated. Just don't expect the same impressive level of graphics if you do.

daft Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 I've only done two races so far as Alfa Romeo, but this game is fantastic. Really immersive, great fun and I find myself playing most of it in real time. A pure joy so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2022 I’ll be getting this. The graphics look incredible. Which is a weird thing to look for in a management game but it looks so good it can’t be ignored 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some issues with blue flags where some drivers not getting out of the way, but man this is so immersive. I've mostly played in real-time because it's so exciting following the action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 First race done, took me a long time as I went all in (!) on it. I may get addicted to this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped PU early and managed to get Bottas a win or two until the others caught up. Currently we are subscribed to P5 and P8, which is better that IRL tbf. It's a really fun game, isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, home sick now so switching between Cyberpunk and F1 currently. But yeah, they created a very good plattform for building on with this first installment. Really addictive.

I love Jurassic World Evolution - sake developers I think, and that game has gone from strength to strength - so the signs are good.
