Racing Tips And Tricks:
For anyone who has ever played an F1 game in the past will have next to no problems adjusting to the game’s handling model and car control. However newcomers will definitely face issues. F1 requires a decent amount of track knowledge, you are expected to know the braking points, high speed sectors and while you do this, also push hard to achieve that all important pole position.
Fortunately for newcomers, the game provides a racing line that will help you understand the track. The racing line indicator changes its color according to the section in which you are racing. For example, the color will change to green to indicate that you need to put the pedal down, changing from green to yellow indicates you need to slow down a bit and a red indicates you need to brake hard. This will require practice and a lot of focus if you are new to the series but once you get hold if it, racing is a complete blast.
Furthermore, you will also find video guides for customisation, car upgrades, career mode and R&D upgrades.
