F1 22

Codemasters’ first new track for racing sim F1 22 is now available with Portimao Circuit. It’s playable in Time Trial, Grand Prix and Multiplayer modes.

In addition to Portimao, Patch 1.07 brings other improvements to the table. The throttle application response time has seen some refinements while Front Damage should affect handling and lap times much more. Practice Programmes have received some difficulty balancing and Supercar interiors should now have the correct level of detail in the cockpit camera.

Improvements to general stability and minor fixes have also been made. The developer noted an issue with regards to the AI’s speed gains on straights. The throttle application changes should provide some benefits but in the meantime, it’s working on parity between the AI and the player’s car performance.

F1 22 is available for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out our official review here for more details.
