Codies are promising an "extensive and challenging" career mode, which will allow you to create a new driver we assume and rise from the bottom of the ranks, joining and switching teams and eventually becoming the guy who can't lose because his car's miles better than everyone else's. And what could be closer to the true spirit of F1 than that?
Rain plays a big part in the Formula 1 season, so it'll be important to simulate the effects of liquid on tarmac accurately, otherwise Codies will be sure to feel the wrath of many an aggrieved F1 nutcase. The most advanced weather system in any driving game is what's promised and who are we to argue with a press release. You don't want to make the pit stop, but in F1 perhaps it'll be more fun than usual.
Codies say they are working to make the whole pit lane experience "tense and exciting" as your shiny motor is polished and worked over by a gang of faceless nobodies in overalls. We'd love a 'realism' mode where a grease-stained mechanic comes over to Schumacher, looks his car up and down, sucks in air through his teeth, and then tells him the parts won't be in for two weeks and that he'll have to wait.
That would be amazing. Browse games Game Portals. F1 Install Game. Click the "Install Game" button to initiate the file download and get compact download launcher. Locate the executable file in your local folder and begin the launcher to install your desired game.

Licence Fee As you'd expect from an official product, this'll have all the bumph, paraphernalia and gubbins from a licensed title.
The Long Haul Codies are promising an "extensive and challenging" career mode, which will allow you to create a new driver we assume and rise from the bottom of the ranks, joining and switching teams and eventually becoming the guy who can't lose because his car's miles better than everyone else's. His greed takes away from the sport and those of us who like to occasionally attend the races. Paddy 14th September , Leon 14th September , CVC Partners call the shots that Ecclestone fires.
CVC bought into F1 at the top of the market and like everyone else at that stage made wildly extravagant projections of their profit take as set against their debt levels. Now the chickens have come home to roost with time bombs strapped to their legs. Any escape hatch. Achilles 4th November , If F1 fails to make these repayments then the sport could end up in the hands of the lenders since the loan was secured on its rights. In a nutshell, the higher the direct costs of running F1, the less money it has to repay debt.
Remarkably, in fact, the opposite is true. However, instead of being put under pressure, the debt repayment accelerated. The inter bank lending rate does what it says on the tin: it is an independently-set rate of interest which applies to transactions between banks.
Last year, when the economic crisis was in full swing banks refused to lend to each other in case the bank which was being lent the money went bust. This refusal to lend filtered right down to the high street since the less banks lent to each other, the more they had to rely on their own resources and the higher the interest rates became on mortgages.
In a bid to stop this vicious circle, and to stimulate lending between banks, the inter bank rate was slashed and one unexpected beneficiary was Bernie and CVC.
In Delta 3 had begun to repay the loan itself, and not just the interest, so the lower total amount owed also lessened interest payments the following year. Both of these factors, amongst others, led to Delta 3 making lower interest payments in but achieving larger reductions in its net debt than it made the previous year.
The debt needs to be fully repaid by and CVC says that this is on track. With the teams signed to a new Concorde Agreement and the economy slowly improving it looks like the sport is finally on a road to recovery although in F1 you can never tell what scandal is around the corner. Joe Cassidy 1st November , What a load of rubbish John Vanderburg I live and work in Abu Dhabi and the work and effort that has been put into this Grand Prix is unbelievable.
All tickets where sold out over two weeks ago and there was no freebies given to any soldiers to attend. The build up has been taking place for the past month with all sorts of activities promoting the event taking place. Chrisyurhee 4th June , Michael, Since you are following this thread, you should be advised that the English portion of the Korean F1 site is not working. What is the exact location of the Grand Prix? Watson Waterstone 25th September , Mark Z 26th September , Nice find!
Craig Dyson 14th April , J Will 27th May , I am also looking to arrange a stag do around the Monaco GP in Can anyone tell me when the confirmed dates are usually released for the following season? PCW 6th June , That is because the Thursday of Asscension is a bank holiday in Monaco.
So now you should be able to predict the date better than any other. It therefore varies a bit on when Easter falls but d ont know that relationship…lol. Mike Osbourne 12th June , Robert 23rd June , Someone might want to correct the schedule, since the Japanese Grand Prix, at last word, will be staying at Suzuka.
Keith Collantine keithcollantine 23rd June , Sandi 24th June , Hiya I am looking for the actual dates for the Spainsh Grand Prix — looking to book flights early. Does anyone know of the actual dates yet please? Jordi Mateu 10th August , The last known provisional date for the Grand Prix is May 9th , but it will probably be made official in a couple of months, given that the MotoGP World Championship calendar has already been confirmed.
A survey among the spectators attending the F1 race at the Circuit gave the Grand Prix a score of 7. I thought Bernie said the USA would have a race in We will have a US based team and most of the sponsors major market share is in the USA I think it would be wise to include the USA to generate revenue and intrest that could snowball into more and better TV coverage.
F1 needs to put the fans first for once or they are going to fail eventually. Lulu 13th October , Armin 11th February , Scribe 11th February , I can only remember one Hakinen victory race there before I fully came to F1 in 05, but seriously, your way off. HJ 1st July , Songdo, a much more important project, has dragged on and on.
The Incheon Airport was to have a business center, but only one building was built, and that is the main administration building for the airport. The rest of the area is the most wonderful grassy field that can be found in Korea.
My concerns are that if they do finish the track: 1. There are almost no accomodations anywhere nearby, and 3. I watched, from the inside, the Incheon Airport being built. What I saw was truly scary. All I did was share some data others seemed to be curious about, since they say all the sites are in Korean.
Above are 2 links with photos of the work in progress. The Airport did win intl. Here are some links to the official website in Korean. By the way, from what I can tell, all of the data on the Korean site is from the season. Thanks HJ, I only see grading, but definately progress. Is your Korean better than mine? I just wish that they would get off their duff and get the English and Japanese portions of the site working.
Are you in Korea? And they mainly the Prov. Past experiences of F1 host countries show an enormous PR and economic ripple effect which I hope will happen in Korea as well. Oh, and about Incheon Airport. I personally wish Korea would do things slowly and thoroughly, but everything is done quick and often cheap.
HJ, Research? Are you in school here or abroad? Could you message the F1 site and ask them to get the English part working? You cannot comprehend how fast they are until you see them in person. They are also VERY loud. Kevin 11th July , Keith Collantine keithcollantine 11th July , I am also flying over next year, if u eed any advice just mail me.
Tim 16th July , Lets be hopefull as it sells out every year….. Oh but Bernie and his greed might not get enough money, so he has races where only half of the seats are full and the goverment fills the other half with soldiers in civies. But those goverments line Bernies pockest with lots of oil money….. Hey Bernie you need to listen to the teams and fans who want races where they are appreciated and attended….. Carly 23rd July , Can anyone tell me provisional dates for the Bahrain GP next year?
Nancy in New York 27th July , We are hoping someone can inform us as soon as the date is out for the European Grand Prix in Valencia. We want to reserve our flight and hotel, etc. Thanks alot. Sandi 28th July , Also date — Date of Spanish Grand Prix, again trying to organise a trip.. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Sandi. Back the Brits 2nd September , CC 29th July , Just spent the weekend at donington at the moto gp, about 60, people there and it was chaos getting around, and especially out of the place!
Seems a lot still to do. If they have it sorted for next year I will be very surprised…. Dominic 6th August , Tim 6th August , There is also this one. Im more willing to believe the link below, as it includes Montreal, and Bernie just went on record saying MTL was back in.
Dominic 11th August , Con 7th August , Errrr………Tim, I think you may find that that calendar was for the proposed breakaway series!!!!!! You can ignore that now!! Younger Hamilton 11th August , Nicki 29th August , Sam Todd 8th September , Net Sticks 14th September , Paul 21st September , Now Im Scared 21st September , Korea on October 17th? There is almost nothing, and they have only secured about half of the financing for the track and race. Mark Z 25th September , If they can get a move on, I think construction could conceivably proceed quite rapidly—Abu Dhabi was built in a similar timeframe, IIRC.
Now Im Scared 25th September , Can you imagine F1 fans staying in Min-baks? Done right, it is feasible. But if they try to do it rush-rush and cut corners, we may probably will have only one year of F1, and Korea will get another black eye. I have little doubt it will be built in time, rush job or not, but it certainly would be a shame for all these resources to go towards a track that sits in disuse after a few years, and the location choice does it no favors.
I suppose we shall find out in a year! I, for one, am more than willing to stay in a minbak to go. Now Im Scared 26th September ,
