Fanatec Tuning Menu Settings: The split screen multiplayer option works extremely well and allows different car set ups for inexperienced sofa buddies who may not have played the game before. Kudos to Codemasters for adding in an option which may be seen as inessential these days. Online multiplayer is as good as ever with no problem finding races or tournaments so even if you bought the game just for multiplayer larks, you’d be happy. Wrong way down a one way street Shark Tale As with every iteration of the F1 game, we are spending a lot of time in game. We always start by jumping in to the career mode, and this year is no different. The career mode in F1 2020 is an improvement on last years, and the new MyTeam game mode brings a lot of new features to the table. These are the ideal settings for a racing wheel driver and/or an experienced one. Manual or Automatic? Canada showcases F1® 2020 Split-Screen ahead of the final Virtual Grand Prix".

It is common knowledge that in a race, speed equals results. But does it always result in a win? Driving fast is definitely beneficial but not always the best option. You could be driving at 300km/h but it will be of no use if you can’t brake in time to pass the first corner. A race in F1 2020 is not just about pace but also about precision, presence of mind and teamwork. You can’t race with a car if your car can’t even run, right? has been hurtling down the grid in turbulent air. You know something’s gone awry when Codemasters release the latest in its annual Formula 1 series in line with the beginning of the real F1 season. Usually the developer’s fashionably late; this year, thanks to a worldwide pandemic delaying the start of the season, it’s downright punctual. We’ve become accustomed to seeing modest changes to the series on an annual basis – there are only so many things you can change to an already superb Formula 1 simulator, after all – and the same is also technically true this year. However, given that this is the only way to get a full season of the motorsport in 2020, perhaps this is a more important release than usual – especially for fans. AI driving has been improved. They’re much more up for it than I remember, especially at harder difficulties. At Master difficulty and above, the AI hound your gearbox, dive bombing your inside line or toughing it out the outside. Overtakes aren’t a procession and they’re more aware, making little moves to cover you and out you off. The result is that racing feels more tactical and challenging. Expert is good enough for experienced drivers, but if that’s too easy, Master, Legend and Ultimate are available. As well as fixing the minor points mentioned above, I’d also add more vintage F1 cars to my wish list for next year. The ones included here are fantastic, but the option of recreating races from the 50s, 60s and 70s would be an incredible addition. It’s actually impossible to fault the way this game depicts the sense of speed. Beautiful work, Codies. Donald Trumps There’s a fair degree of depth involved but enough initial hand-holding and explanations not to make the management aspect too daunting. In fact it became an enjoyable between race mission to make sure the team was succeeding in the right departments before I took off my suit and donned the fireproof leathers. Perhaps being able to create a team principle from scratch rather than doubling as a driver/team boss would enable the experience to be more personalised.Anthoine Hubert included in F1 2020 game, tough decision".

If you’d prefer to concentrate on being a driver for hire, that’s fine but for those who want to get involved in the creative aspects of running an F1 team, you can choose to add this to your weekly timetable on top of the racing. The F1 games have come a long way since Sumo Digital‘s F1 2009 for the Wii. Codemaster’s latest is its biggest, most comprehensive facsimile of the motorsport, and the best take on it yet. So the racing itself is pretty much as perfect a representation of F1 as a PS4 can muster and the new management element is a weighty addition which adds a huge amount of gameplay to a game already stuffed to the gunnels with racing joy. So what else is there for those who want more?

If you’re an ardent F1 racing fan there’s no doubt about getting F1 2020. It’s the most comprehensive and authentic take on the sport yet, with the improved AI, and the My Team mode presents a compelling chance to guide a fledgling team to championship glory. The majority of F1 2020 car setups that we create are focused on delivering the best race pace. These setups are designed for use in career mode, My Team mode and online league racing. One important setting that hasn’t been mentioned yet is the Gearbox Setting. Whether you use a Manual or an Automatic Gearbox is completely a personal preference. A manual setting does allow you to drive better and faster but can also make you mistake-prone. However, I do recommend using an automatic gearbox for controller/keyboard drivers (again, for simplicity and better experience) with pad users switching to manual if comfortable. Racing wheel drivers can take advantage of the shift paddles and utilise the manual gearbox to the fullest. If you want to learn how to drive in F1 2020 using manual transmission, be sure to read this Manual Gears Tutorial. SET YOUR SKILL LEVEL o Formula 2™, the ultimate training ground for F1®, is also included, now with new half or full season options and 2019 and 2020* season content. These settings should give you a good base to work from, but feel free to adjust them up or down to suit your own driving style. We would recommend increasing the throttle linearity to 20 to give a slightly softer initial input on the throttle. This helps to avoid wheel spin on corner exit, and lets you better manage the throttle Also we increased the brake saturation to 5 to give a little extra responsiveness to the pedal.

The Logitech G923 feels very similar to the older G29 and G920. And the TrueForce feature doesn’t add much if anything to the overall F1 2020 experience.
