F1 2017 expands its offering with the most extensive career yet

Codemasters have released a new trailer for F1 2017 that shows off the games incredibly deep career mode, including all new invitational events, that at key points during the regular F1 season, you will get to drive 12 classic F1 cars in a host of different events.



Lee Mather, Creative Director, says: “The Career Mode was a big hit last year and we are building on those incredibly strong foundations to create an even deeper, more rounded experience for F1 2017. We have added female driver avatars, new paddock locations and a new character as well as greatly increasing the scope for developing your team and car. All of this, we feel, combined with the addition of the iconic classic cars this year, means that F1 2017 offers gamers the ultimate F1 experience yet.”

In addition to the invitational events, the Career Mode offers a huge amount of extra depth with 115 possible Research and Development upgrades (over 4 ½ times as many as in F1 2016), new practice programmes to master, as well as increased importance being given to the management and reliability of your car’s engine and gearbox elements.

 

As well as the 20 official circuits from the current season, F1 2017 introduces four new shortened circuits at Britain, Bahrain, USA and Japan, while also allowing players to take on the iconic Monaco street circuit at night, complete with stunning visuals.

The game is out on August 25th for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 and for those that pre-order, you will get the iconic 1988 McLaren MP4/4. That car will be available later for other players for an additional fee.
