Formula 1 is one of the most popular sports in the world, despite the fact that only 24 drivers can participate at any one time. It’s a sport that relies on capturing the imagination of its fans, and using the performance of the drivers to keep the public coming back for more and more.

This is relatively unique. Take football for example, there isn’t much difference between a Sunday league, where anybody can turn up and play, and the top league in any given country. In theory, if you perform well in the Sunday league you can move up to the next level, and so on until you’re at the top.

This is much harder to accomplish in motorsport. The pyramid is significantly narrower—just the 24 drivers sit at the top—and the cost of getting anywhere near Formula 1 is prohibitively expensive.

This is why the official Formula 1 game, F1 2011, is so welcome to fans of the sport.

For not very much money you can drive any of the 12 Formula 1 cars at all 19 circuits on the calendar.

Of course, it’s not perfect. The biggest drawback is the lack of g-force one can feel while sat on their sofa. If you turn the volume up to Formula 1 car levels, it can annoy your housemates, your neighbours and the people living in the next street. And if you crash, there’s no risk of going to hospital. But that final point may be seen as an advantage by some.

The hardest thing to achieve with a game such as this is making the handling realistic enough for the biggest fans and easy enough for those who aren’t F1 fans at all, and have simply purchased the game for enjoyment.



As a big F1 fan, I think the cars are still just a bit too easy to drive, but at the same time they are hard to keep on the limit lap after lap. It’s very easy to lock a wheel and run wide, which of course harms your lap time.

The simulation of Kers and DRS is very well done, ...
