Codemasters has revealed that F1 2012 launches worldwide in September for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
F1 2012 introduces a new ‘Young Driver Test’ mode with the aim of taking players even closer to the experience of becoming a F1 driver. You will jump in to the world of Formula One through a range of tutorials explaining how to handle the F1 cars. You are then challenged to earn a drive from a team for the 2012 season.
Codemasters has released the video below which follows F1 2012 Creative Director, Stephen Hood, as he meets the next generation of drivers at the ‘Young Driver Test’. The video was filmed at the Yas Marina Circuit, home of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
In the video also features Sam Bird, testing for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team who says he thinks Codemasters have done a “super job” of giving regular people a proper insight into what a F1 car is like.
Stefano Coletti, representing Scuderia Toro Rosso said:
“When I came to Abu Dhabi I couldn’t go to the simulator so I switched on the videogame and started to play. It actually worked because when I got here I felt like I’d already driven [the circuit]. It was my first race in GP2, first ever time in GP2, and I won in my first race so it actually helped.”
