Now, in career mode, you can now use them to improve your race. I’ve always found the practice sessions invaluable to get reacquainted with the circuits. The career mode gives the game a bit of soul that was, perhaps, missing from last year’s competent but dour entry. The character of the circuits is noticeably different is racing on a bright morning or a gloomy midday.įor this outing, Codemasters have gone back to the “Race Driver” narrative-based racing career, complete with your leggy agent and grizzled engineer. You can also play a long or short season, a quickrace, time trial or multiplayer session.Īdvances in the games lighting system means that you can how adjust the time of day as well as the weather for your custom races. This year we are back to the full line-up of options which includes a ten season career mode, which can also be played in pro mode for superhuman Formula One masters. It was a nosebleed-inducing experience and great fun to play. I tested the PC version of F1 2016 on an Asus Z170-AR-based, i7 6700K-equiped PC, running with an NVidia GeForce GTX 1080, across a triple-screen set-up. Codemasters’ F1 2016, manages to perfectly capture the essence of Formula One to give us possibly the best video game version of the sport, yet. The likes of Codemasters’ own GRID and DiRT games, as well as the superb Project CARS all offer great, realistic racing simulations across a number of different motorsport disciplines.īut, of course, that being said, no other motorsport evokes the style, sophistication and romance of the Formula One World Championship tournament. Most of those games are also from the Codies’ stable. Unless you are a die-hard Formula One fan, there have been plenty of other motorsport games that offer much more varied gameplay than Codemasters’ F1 games.

I’m going to put my cards on the table, here. I put the pedal to the metal and check out the PC version to see what’s in store for us this year. Codemasters’ sixth entry in their Formula One series, F1 2016, is upon us.
