F1 2010

F1 2010 being released today, we are now free to show you a few exclusive videos of Codemasters' latest racer. In the first video, we went to Belgium to show you a sunny practice lap, a cloudy qualification lap and finally an extract of the race itself. The second video is simply the replay of the second lap of the race in Spa. The last video will take you to Monaco and show you what a race can be like when being first on the starting line, and what can also happen when you get too confident.

After two successful releases of the DIRT franchise and GRID – which tackled track-racing in a somewhat different manner – Codemasters have decided to return to slick tires once more with an official Formula 1 game. The masters of arcadey racing games are now moving closer to the realm of simulation, under close monitoring of the FIA. As a result, F1 2010 appears to be on the realistic side, and therefore, it can be classified into the arcade/sim category. The career objectives of my in-game pilot perfectly matched my own schedule for the release of this review. Therefore, the pressure I felt during the Grand Prix events was real! Now you’re one click away from my emotion-packed impressions of the game.

While Ghost_Deus is doing his best to finish his review of F1 2010 in time for the end of the embargo, Codemasters is releasing a new video of the game showing the Singapore track.

Let's finish our F1 2010 marathon with the tracks of Valencia and Silverstone. In the first video, you will see something that could have been a nice crash but that turned out pretty lame, while in the second you will get to see how much a wet track can affect visibility. Now for more videos, direct feed next time, you will have to wait until the game's release in late September.

F1 2010 is already back with one more video showing a fulll 3 lap race and the replay of the first lap. Those of you who played GRID will easily recognize the Istanbul track and the others will have the opportunity to discover what it looks like. One little thing though, when editing the video, BlimBlim did not realize I had had to restart the race a little bit after it began. By the way, there is sound in this video.

This year, Bombstrike was not in the mood for big car crashes so we had to find another journalist that lacked the Gamersyde racing skills so we could show you what happens when driving carelessly. Don't expect something spectacular for this video though, but until the game is released and we can capture some direct feed footage, that's the only accident you'll get to see. Enjoy!

Let's continue our F1 2010 media frenzy, and this time, we are going to Montreal for one lap in cockpit view. You will see how hard it is to drive at full speed when you barely see the road and you don't know the track by heart.

Here we are back home, and I've got a lot of videos to encode and upload. First here is a full lap of the mythical track of Spa Francorchamps, followed by its replay, in 720p.

As we are preparing to head back to France here is one last video until tonight where Driftwood proves us that he actually can drive under the worst circumstances: Heavy rain in Monza on F1 2010.

It's now F1 2010's turn to get its own video from the Gamescom showfloor, with Monaco in the spotlight.
