The verdict
A fun, good-looking F1 game with solid AI, co-op career and a story mode, but online play is broken, crashes are common and kerbs are harsh. Skip it for multiplayer.
Great for
Single-player and co-op career fans who want an F1 game with good AI, a story mode and nice visuals
Main risk
Broken online play, crashes and unpredictable kerb physics; the game is also no longer sold
