F1 2014; Sochi Hot Lap with Daniil Kvyat in his Torro Rosso

4/9/2014

Why this has piqued our interest

Sochi is a new track both in reality and in the world of F1 2014. For many this will be the first time they see the track run in full and with the way Codemasters create these videos you are in for a visual treat.

The game is coming out on the 17th of October for the PC, PS3 AND Xbox360 and we will be under starers orders from the outset.

This year’s 2014 FORMULA 1 RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX will be the first time that
Russia has hosted a FORMULA ONE™ race. The fast and flowing 19 turn track
features a demanding final sector and includes 1.7km of public roads and the
GRAND PRIX™ is set to be run in front of 55,000 fans. The new hot lap video is
FORMULA 1 gamers’ first chance to see the full circuit in the game.

The Sochi Autodrom is one of four tracks which offer new gameplay
experiences in F1 2014, including Austria’s Spielberg circuit which features on
the FORMULA ONE calendar for the first time in a decade, the return of the
Hockenheimring to the calendar which last held a race in 2012 and the
BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX which was run as a night race for the first time in 2014.

First Hot lap Video for F1 2014

12/8/2014

Today Codemasters® released the first hot lap video for F1 2014. The hot lap is the first chance for fans to hear how this year’s radically different turbocharged cars are brought to life in the game, including the distinctive deeper growl produced by this year’s new power units.

The 2014 FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX was run as a night race for the first time this year, and the hot lap video shows Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari taking on the 15 corner, 10 year-old Bahrain International Circuit dramatically lit up by hundreds of floodlights and against a striking backdrop of fireworks.

Featuring all of the circuits from the 2014 calendar, Bahrain’s debut as a night race, featuring its full day / night transition, is just one of the circuit changes for this year’s game, alongside the return of the Hockenheimring and the debut of two new circuits – Russia’s Sochi Autodrom and Austria’s Spielberg circuit.

F1 2014 will arrive on October 17th for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Codemasters will then introduce a new FORMULA 1TM title in 2015 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Windows PC and the Xbox One all-in- one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. With more to be announced through production for both titles, follow Codemasters F1 games blog and social channels on Twitter and Facebook for updates.

Don't worry new geners there will be a F1 game for you in 2015.

Why this has piqued our interest

The 2014 season has been one of the most exciting for Forumla One fans in a while. Due to changes to the car the established order has been shaken up and although one team is dominating the on track battles have been the best in recent years.
If the Codemasters team are able to capture this then this should be the best F1 game to date.

Launching October 17th is F1 2014 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is a culmination of the past five years experience we’ve gained developing Formula 1 titles and reflects this year’s incredible new season with the latest cars, tracks and driver changes. The game will also deliver a new driver evaluation system that quickly identifies a player’s ability and tunes game settings to an appropriate level.

“There’s been a dramatic shift in the sport; the largest shake up in the rules and regulations for a very long time and the new power units provide a very different kind of challenge, for both driver and team. By delivering all of these changes, F1 2014 will make for an exciting and refreshingly different experience. Additionally, with the new driver evaluation system analysing each player’s skill level and suggesting appropriate game settings, plus re-graded difficulty levels including a brand new Very Easy setting, we aim to deliver a thoroughly rewarding F1 experience for players of all abilities, from the novice to the seasoned pro.” - Stephen Hood, Creative Director

With a week to go GRID Autosport gets a new trailer titled, This Is Racing.

20/6/2014

At the recent MCM expo I got a little hands on time with Grid Autosport (which you can read here) and was very impressed with what I saw. The night racing was especially engrossing and challenging.
Now with a week to go for release things are starting to rev up one the starting Grid as a new trailer and Screenshots have been released.
The question about this game is which discipline excites you most Open-Wheel, Street, Tuner, Endurance or Touring Cars.
The touring cars is the clincher for me but with so many racing types this game can cater for pretty much everyone.

GRID Autosport Touring Car Trailer

14/5/2014

The disciplines in GRID Autosport keep growing and with Touring Cars they may have hit upon a underused racing gem. Anyone who had even seen a race on TV or live will know this is a Motorsport where collisions are frequent, this is thanks to the cars themselves. They are based around saloon cars and this makes them a lot more robust then an F1 car. The trailer below does quite a bit to highlight this and even from the still on screen you can see that the damage looks pretty great.

The video features Touring Car racing drivers explaining what players need to succeed in this discipline, including 2013 BTCC Champion Andrew Jordan from Pirtek Racing, Team Dynamics’ Matt Neal, and Motorbase Performance’s eight-time touring car title winner Fabrizio Giovanardi.

In the weekend that saw Seb Vettel record his fourth straight title, it may also be forgotten that other teams are still racing in their own championships. The smaller teams like Caterham are not as big as Ferrrari, McLaren or Red Bull but they are still pushing hard to be top of the new team league.
