If you're an F1 fan, this could end up being the absolute ultimate version of the racing game.
Racing is having a bit of a moment right now. From Netflix's massive hit series Drive To Survive, to Brad Pitt's upcoming Formula 1 one movie, to an adaptation of a massively popular racing game, as well as Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider) making a biopic about the founder of Ferrari... there is something in the water in Hollywood lately, and everyone is loving a bit of racing.
That popularity is looking to continue to expand with gaming, with the imminent arrival of F1 Manager 2023, which has just dropped its announcement trailer. As the creator's of the game themselves explain, this is what you can expect from the release:
"F1 Manager 2023 gives fans the freedom to oversee their chosen F1® team on their own terms. New to 2023 is the role of the Sporting Director, enabling deeper management of the pit crew and their training schedule, and challenging players to balance the risk of costly errors against rapid pitstop times.
"New weight considerations will also require players to find a balance between car performance and reliability, working within the Cost Cap to give their driver pairing every chance of success. Prospective Team Principals will define the direction of their team by setting the development focus of their current line-up, or by scouting the next generation of talent from the fully simulated F2 and F3 Championships, negotiating contracts for the following season to ensure multi-year success.
"Races are more dramatic and dynamic than ever before, with shifting racing lines ensuring that drivers will duel for every vital point. A new driver confidence system underpins bold overtaking manoeuvres, with cars going wheel-to-wheel as each world-class driver verbally responds to commands via their race engineers.
"The fine balance of optimal tyre temperature windows creates unfolding drama as grip levels fluctuate, and split-second decisions will mean the difference between taking pole position or ending up in the barriers. F1 Manager 2023 brings all 23 season-defining races and six F1 Sprint events to life in stunning broadcast quality, with each key moment narrated by the returning Sky Sports commentary pairing of David Croft and Karun Chandhok."
F1 Manager 2023 is due to arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC this summer. Check out the announcement trailer right here:
