technology as Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID, this is
set to be the best F1 game ever.

the 2010 season
With everything from the affect of rain on the track to media
interest in your performance simulated, everything that happens
in a real Formula 1 season happens in this game. But don't worry
if you're not an expert racer as the game has a specially
designed range of driving aids and arcade options to ensure every
kind of gamer can join in the fun.

career marathon or a quick run around the Monaco circuit, this
puts Forumla 1 back at the pinnacle of video game racing.

drastically affecting the performance of the cars.
