The options I settled on where great for me (and certainly favoured fun over a challenge) and most people should be able to find settings that suit them, but F1 will never be really easy. Although there are options for the competition’s skill there is no option that will let you cruise around and enjoy your career without much effort. Your car can either handle as you would expect an F1 car to or be relatively simple and leave you to concentrate on cornering and braking more like a conventional racer. I still had to push hard and even on 50% race length the pit strategy was important. It’s not possible to completely remove the challenge and turn F1 2013 into any other racing game where the only position that counts is first and eventually I managed to find settings that worked for me. There are a huge amount of options that allow you to more or less customize the difficulty to your choosing. But it’s nice that my objective wasn’t to unrealistically get on the podium in my first race. I struggled quite a bit during my qualifying and didn’t do so well so even my race objective of finishing 12th became quite a challenge. The objectives given to you are refreshingly realistic without taking away the challenge. You can select your race strategy, tune your car then get stuck into the practice, qualifying and race days. It’s a nice way to present a tutorial and is certainly less dull than it could have been even though it’s a little longer than necessary.Īs expected there will be nothing surprising during a Grand Prix. It’s nice to have the freedom just to pass and get stuck in or improve your chances of a great first season by unlocking better teams. I did a little just to get up to the Williams team and then carried on. They’re not too difficult and it would be quite easy to improve your times and unlock the “top” team to race for if you wish.

Essentially they serve as a tutorial gradually introducing you to the basics of the game but your performance also dictates which teams will offer to sign you up during your first season.


You will try things like driving in the wet, setting lap times and hitting apexes within a time constraint.

And that’s got to be a good thing.īut, before jumping in and racing in your career you will first have to take part in the young driver tests just like in F1 2012. Although they’re still there it’s not the same as watching races that are so often decided by those rules. F1 games offer a great way to enjoy the sport without so many rules and regulations. Another year another season of F1 another F1 game.
