F1 2016 Features 22 Player Online Racing, Formation Lap & Manual Starts

[Steve_OS]

F1 2016 features 22 player online racing, and the introduction of features such as the Formation Lap and manual starts.

Quote:

We’re taking you to the next level by replicating the real world sport like never before with the Formation Lap appearing for the first time, allowing you to experience the height of the pre-race tension and warm your tyres in preparation for the all-important start.

Check out the latest F1 2016 trailer featuring in-game footage, new time-of-day editor, action from the paddock and hospitality area, including your engineer and agent, as well as the pit lane, grid and track.

F1 2016 will also include manual race starts. You’ll need to engage your clutch and balance your revs, as you wait for the lights to go out. Your reaction time is vital here, as too early and you risk a jump start, or getting stuck on the grid as the anti-stall engages. You’ll also be able to have manual control over your pit lane entry and braking, so you can look to minimising the time lost when pitting. You’ll also need to brake in time to avoid a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, which is also a feature included in F1 2016, along with a new five second pit stop penalty.

This should bring league racing back to the forefront, massive upgrades and a very good step by Codemasters. Hopefully the bugs aren't too bad this time around as this game has incredible potential.

Looking forward to this one. I don't follow the sport much, I do slightly, but that's about it. I sure love this game though. It looks great, sounds great, plays solid, and it's just extremely fun to drive these cars around these tracks.


Didn't realize release was August, I thought September, so that's a bonus!

Yeah...August 19! Wow, right around the corner.

Gotta get in as much wheel time as I can before Madden distracts me for the following several months LOL.
