Overall, I loved playing through the career mode, especially as I kept making new rivalries with fellow racers requiring me to beat them in certain criteria such as qualifying or lap times. Now, for newbies of the series it may seem a little daunting having so many options put in front of you, but there are tutorial videos to watch if you get stuck. Also, by outperforming through qualifying and race day, you acquire points which you can use to upgrade your car such as decreasing its fuel consumption or reducing its weight. The information provided in the practice sessions gives your team the statistics they need to determine how long each tyre will last and at what point in the race they’ll need changing.Īdditionally, the practice sessions give you the chance to familiarise yourself with the track and optimise your braking and accelerating through certain stages of the circuit. For instance, you can decide what tyres to use by having your team analyse data, including your driving tendencies, as you race a number of laps through three thirty-minute practice sessions. However, F1 2016 is all about creating your own legend and this year’s offering includes the most detailed and extensive career mode to date.Ĭareer mode has a multitude of options where you can evaluate race strategies and alter or tweak the general set up of your car. This year’s offering even gives you the opportunity to race up to 22 other players in an online championship mode. F1 2016 has broken the mould and is an essential purchase for any gamer who is a Formula One fan and anyone who loves racing games in general.į1 2016 has several game modes to choose from, with the option to play through single, online and multiplayer races or customise your own tournaments. However, I’m pleased to say that isn’t the case at all. Unfortunately, unlike many other sports, F1 hasn’t had a worthy representation in video gaming thus far, so, you’d be forgiven for thinking that F1 2016 might be another entry in the mediocre F1 series. On release, these expectations quickly crash and burn as fast as I would if I actually jumped into a real F1 car and tried to drive it. The annual release of a Formula One game usually comes with the hope that Codemasters has finally made a worthy F1 racing title.
