## RACE YOUR WAY - F1® 25 DEEP DIVE #2 🏁

Learn more about circuit changes, customisation, and much more in this year's F1® 25.

We've just dropped even more info about [*F1® 25*'s big year-on-year advancements]( ). Here are some of the highlights:

• LIDAR circuits (Bahrain, Miami, Melbourne, Suzuka and Imola) have been introduced to the game for the first time
• Reverse track layouts also added - Silverstone, Zandvoort, and the Red Bull Ring
• New Decal Editor introduced, allowing you to make custom liveries, including the option to select different fonts/styles of driver numbers
• Doubled the pool of real-world radio audio, including those from team principals and during Qualifying
• Handling revisions, AI enhancements, and more.

Be sure to check out the full deep dive blog as there's a lot more to read than in the video. That can be found by clicking here //

A huge array of excellent changes and additions, the handling changes sound very promising, the visuals have definitely had a noticeable boost, particularly in the texture department. Special liveries will now be available on the correct cars in all modes when unlocked as well. Reverse circuits can be used in the career modes from the 2nd season onwards.

Positive.

A new presentation from Codemasters and EA has shown off some further information on the upcoming F1 25 title, looking into some of the year-on-year improvements revealed to us as part of a hands-on earlier this month...

This might be the first F1 title I purchase close to or at release - the driver/manager style of gameplay sounds interesting and reminds me of the Player Manager footy games.

only 5 circuit with laser scan? serious?

Given the time it takes to build a circuit from near scratch and the fact it's actually F1 getting the scans, not Codemasters, I'd say that's a pretty dam good effort, more than 20% of the calendar.

F1 25: Braking Point Story Mode Returns, with New Chapters and Features​

Following our hands-on with an early build of F1 25 back at the beginning of the month, we can now talk about the final aspect of the event: the return of the Braking Point story mode, with some new features and functionality...

 

[Auditore]

That’s certainly the case in the opening two chapters that we played, where you’ll be required to come back from a collision at Imola with Max Verstappen

that's funny 😂

 

[Jezza819]

With the rules change coming next year I'll skip this one. Reverse circuits don't appeal to me.

When will I be able to just drive as my favorite driver on my favorite team?

Yes, driver career let's you choose to be one of the existing drivers. Also Grand Prix mode you can do a full championship without the career mode elements.

Is this possible in F1 23? I wasn’t able to make that happen.

Racing as a real driver in Driver Career was new in ‘24.

 

[PSN:And-War]

Didn't EA buy Codemasters?

Yes that was a shame

F1 25 looks increasingly to be a good step upwards from the previous few. That's very clear to see in what we've been shown so far. Long way from being sunk just yet.



Positive My Team changes, it needed a big refresh and that was one of the big things I needed to see before deciding to buy and they've made good on that. If it can be stitched around improved AI (which is usually good anyway) and a solid driving model (lighter feel and more punishing curbs) then it'll be a very solid entry.

Ill wait till its out, ditching last gen is a good move so they can focus on the power on current gen

 

[MagpieRacer]

Yes that was a shame

Was it? Think I'd rather have EA Codemasters and the games they've made so far than not have Codemasters at all, because that was the alternative

Take-Two Interactive were also in the running, would they have been better maybe or maybe not we will never know now.

Extremely unlikely they would have been better. If people think EA like to rinse their players then they haven't tried a 2k sports game before.

 

[PJTierney]

This is just my personal opinion (as is everything on GTP), but I feel that between 2K and EA, EA was the better decision.

Regardless of how the games themselves have turned out, EA have been a good employer to me so far.

People really forgot how 2K didn't just feature a game with Gambling mechanics, they proudly advertised it front AND center.
