What is seriously refreshing, is I’m finding that my opposition now acts like they’re the best in the world, not just there for the experience. No, I don’t use traction control before you sceptics start to discredit my awesome car control! Ok, so I’m a setup genius, and the car was perfect but, I can go through there maxed out controlling the slide and entering the back straight at a sensible speed. You know the one, tight left hairpin and then the never-ending right-hander-before the runway of a back straight. This becomes even more apparent at Shanghai International Circuit where we’ve got that monstrous parabolic Turn 13. It’s epic! Finally, I can chew up my rear tyres in 4 laps without spinning.

Rather than finding myself jumping on and off the throttle to get it in a straight line, and slowing to a pedestrian pace, I’m full chat, tyres smoking, leaving huge black lines through Turn 2. However, I’m blown away when my mighty Torro Rosso pitches into a beautifully controllable drift. With this quick direction change, the car is unsettled and adding power is just asking for trouble. A 90 – 100mph right-hander taken in 3rd or 4th, I use 4th, leading into the long left that is Turn 2. Turn 2 at Albert Park is immediately preceded by Turn 1. Practice at Albert Park, Melbourne. This is where I find that what I’m playing is nothing like F1 2011 or F1 2012.

Skipping past the chore that is the ‘Young Driver Test’, I get to go out in a proper full-blown session. I was good enough to get Torro Rosso. Not too bad, mid-field team, better than the crappy Caterham I drove in F1 2011 for my first season. But, once done and depending on how well you do, teams for your first drive are unlocked. When you start a career, well, you can’t because you have to complete the ‘ Young Driver Test’ first at Abu Dhabi. It’s a total ballache!!! Hopefully, it’ll be fixed soon. And it is a big deal because you have to quit the game, go to My Documents -> My Games -> F1 2013 and find the hardware config file, open it in an editor, find where it says fullscreen= and change false to true. For some reason, and I don’t know what causes it, sometimes the game loads in windowed mode and 800 x 600 resolution. I should jump straight into the game, knowing what I know about the now redundant version, I was playing the day previously.

Serial games shouldn’t change massively year to year. The interface is all pretty much the same, which is nice. Loading up F1 2013 you’re met with that cheeky chappy David ‘Crofty’ Croft, introducing F1 2013. Ignoring the Classic Edition elements, for now, let’s look at the bulk of the game that is ‘Career Mode’. So, one Xbox controller wireless receiver later and, using a proper controller, it opens the game up to what it really is. Having a choice of all or nothing for throttle and brake, it really doesn’t work. Just don’t…whatever you think, you can’t. Playing on PC, and being a console gamer, I initially had to use the keyboard to drive with. F1 2013 is vastly improved on all previous iterations. So, finally, we’re here…onto what I think about F1 2013.
Perhaps I should compare the last 5 titles and look into the evolution of the F1 series? Leave a comment if you’d like to see that. It felt as if the front tyres were made of plastic, much like you’d find on the model cars!Īnyway, this is about F1 2013, not the history of the F1 series. However, I could glean a good impression of the game, and F1 2012 was a lot more ‘understeery’ than previous titles. I was on holiday when it was released, and by the time I got back, it was all about Call of Duty: Black Ops II so, I never actually played it past the young driver test. I’ll admit, I didn’t play a lot of F1 2012. No longer did I find myself pointing the wrong way and ultimately, at the back of the pack. An element of ‘drift’ was now in the game allowing for those hasty stamping of throttle moments to beat a fellow competitor out of a slow corner. The cars snapped so violently on the loss of traction that it was nigh on impossible to catch, resulting in numerous spins per session. The 2009 – 2011 version were, shall we say, ‘difficult’ to play. Having gone through the trials and tribulations of the last 5 years since the inaugural version in 2009, I always look forward to getting a new version of F1. I’ll admit, I was ecstatic! F1 2013 is a game I have to have, and I’ve got it.

Codemasters were kind enough to send me a Steam key for F1 2013 on PC last week.
