Discover why F1 Manager 2022 has the real drivers in the game, in this second dev diary

Frontier have released the second dev diary in their series, talking about the process of bringing in the drivers into the game, along with why having them there is important. Check out the new video for the game below.

In exclusive footage, players can delve into the in-depth process of capturing drivers for the game as they join two of Frontier’s facial scan capture sessions, featuring Williams Racing driver, Alexander Albon and Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN’s Zhou Guanyu. An impressive 200 camera lenses work to create intricate 3D facial models, bringing each driver to life in-game in breath-taking detail. Each driver also has a data profile, created using a wealth of real historical data points, in order to accurately reflect their behaviours and driving style.

This commitment to realism is shared across the entirety of F1 Manager 2022. Working closely with Formula 1, the development team have been able to access a vast archive of historical data and broadcast footage, in order to create an immersive simulation experience which is true-to-life. Prospective Team Principals will be able to use authentic data to guide their decisions, reacting to realistic tyre degradation, changing weather conditions, and safety car and red flag incidents.

The game is coming to most platforms on August 30.
