F1 Series

With the retail release of this year’s title merely hours away, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of the pre-release build of F1 2016 comes to a close with a 5-lap race at Sochi Autodrom, home of the Russian Grand Prix.

F1 2016 is a mere day away from launch. Codemasters’ latest iteration in their long-running franchise promises the return of features in previous games, whilst bringing in some new additions. Here at GTPlanet, Micheal Leary (you’ll probably know him as Terronium-12) and I have bashed our heads together and listed the top 5 features we can’t wait to try out when the game releases. These are listed in no particular order.

The clock is ticking; four days remain until the release of this year’s title, and InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continues with yet another detailed look at the much-talked-about career mode.

Only one week is left until the worldwide release of F1 2016. To ensure loyal supporters can prepare all the required equipment for their first drive, Codemasters has released the full list of compatible controllers and steering wheels for the game. Hopefully you’ll be able to find your beloved product in the list below:

With just shy of a week until release, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continue with another look at the much-talked-about career mode. Still behind the wheel of Manor Racing’s MRT05, this time ISR showcases the action that takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit.

With only several days remaining until the release of this year’s game, InsideSimRacing were able to get their hands on a preview build of F1 2016. Their hands-on previews delve into the expansive career mode — one of the game’s most touted features — and compare the pre-release builds of both the PC and PS4 versions of the racer.

With the Formula 1 circus officially on summer break after last weekend’s German Grand Prix, Codemasters is taking advantage of the lull period and is showing off a new trailer for this year’s upcoming game, and are announcing a new championship — all with 14 days left on the clock until its release.

This is a special guest post by GTPlanet member Alex (haitch40) who participated in the game’s closed beta period earlier this year.

The fourth and final scheduled race weekend of the month featuring the F1 circus is upon us, and Codemasters are once again taking the opportunity to pair it with an in-game look at their upcoming title. With F1 2016 set to release in three weeks’ time, this will be the final onboard hot lap before the sport’s summer break and the game’s release.

With a little over three weeks until the release of this year’s official game, a selection of hands-on gameplay previews have begun surfacing that show off various features of the upcoming title. Chief among them is the expansive career mode, one of the game’s most touted features and a return to form for the series.

On the weekend of the third of four scheduled races from the F1 circus this month, Codemasters have once again taken the opportunity to provide another in-game look of the upcoming F1 2016 game set to release in less than a month’s time.

This month is going to be packed with four races from the F1 circus. The second of those four feature races, taking place at Silverstone, home to the British Grand Prix, is set to kick off with the qualifying session in an hour’s time.

With the release of this year’s F1 game drawing near, Codemasters has taken the opportunity to drop a few new bits of information on the upcoming title. Beginning with the new trailer seen above, showing off the new hospitality areas, time-of-day editor, and action from the paddock.

With this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix just hours away from the green flag, what better time for another in-game look at the upcoming F1 2016 featuring – you guessed it – the Red Bull Ring.

Team VVV brings us new E3 gameplay footage of the upcoming F1 2016, featuring the Ferrari SF16-H taking a couple of laps around Autódromo José Carlos Pace, home to the Brazilian Grand Prix.

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. When the first gameplay footage of F1 2016 surfaced yesterday, I made a point of acknowledging that the Baku City Circuit, home to this weekend’s European Grand Prix, wasn’t shown in said footage.

As you may have expected, the first gameplay footage of F1 2016 has surfaced from E3, courtesy of Xboxygen.

The 2016 season of Formula One has been a memorable one thus far, and this past weekend’s Monaco GP only helped to intensify the chaos that’s made for quite an entertaining string of races. Capitalizing on the current state of the season, and continuing to deliver the game as early into the season, Codemasters have officially announced F1 2016 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms and is due later this summer.

By following in the footsteps of the 1.03 patch and last November’s update, Codemasters continues to offer extensive fixes for its leading F1 title. This time the improvements are oriented mostly towards Xbox One owners, with limited focus towards PlayStation 4 ones. One particular upgrade that we would like to stress is the corner cutting rule – it has been adjusted on both consoles. The list of all the fixes is as follows:
