![]() ![]() The Classic mode is littered with small touches that will no doubt be appreciated by hardcore F1 fans. Hanging a Lotus 100T on the ragged edge through the high-speed turns of pre-chicane Jerez bathed in beautiful lighting with the whine of the turbo engine as it kicks through the gears is immensely satisfying. While the FW14B has all the phenomenal mechanical grip and stability you?óÔé¼Ôäód expect from a car famed for its advanced active suspension system. The FW07B and 100T can be thrown into the corners like over-sized, over-powered go-karts as you feel the car starting to slide at the limit of adhesion. With fat tyres, less aerodynamic efficiency and – in some cases – screaming turbo engines, the classics are tremendous fun and require real roughneck driving to lower lap times. And with classic cars come classic circuits as Codemasters will include fully modelled retro versions of Jerez, Brands Hatch, Imola and Estoril to drive in the game ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ all in their classic 1980s and 1990s glory without a single chicane, tarmac run-off or DRS zone in sight. While some may have hoped for a greater number and wider variety of vehicles, that will likely be forgotten once players reintroduce these retired greats to the race track once again. Advertising restrictions mean they are depicted in non-tobacco liveries. Screenshots also suggest the 1988 Williams-Judd FW12 will feature.Ī further six classic Williams and Ferrari cars from the nineties are on offer including Nigel Mansell?óÔé¼Ôäós 1992 championship winning FW14B, Damon Hill?óÔé¼Ôäós FW18 from 1996 and the Ferrari F399 as driven by Eddie Irvine to the runner-up spot in 1999. The first batch of cars includes the 1988 Lotus 100T (pictured top), Williams cars such as Alan Jones?óÔé¼Ôäós FW07 and some yet-to-be-announced Ferraris. ![]() The Classic mode is split between the two decades and allows players to jump behind the wheel of five classic cars from the eighties and nineties. Instead of throwing random cars from F1 history into the game Codemasters have focused on two decades that will likely strike the most nostalgic chords with their target audience ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ the eighties and nineties. And Codemasters envisage it being a much more extensive offering than what was found in previous official games which included older cars, such as Sony’s 2007 release Formula One: Championship Edition. Yes, the fans’ most requested feature ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ classic grand prix cars ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ is the major new addition to the official F1 game series for this year. The answer is the most exciting new addition to the series to date. So what does F1 2013 ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ the first new game since Codemasters received that all-important rights extension from Bernie Ecclestone ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ have to offer the sport’s millions of fans around the world that previous games did not? Once that was achieved, they said, they would be able to make bigger, better and more exciting games. ![]() By their own admission, one of the main aims of Codemasters for the first three years of producing their F1 series was to secure the exclusive rights to make the official games into 2014 and beyond. ![]()
