The verdict
A stripped-down F1 2013 reskin with 2014 turbo-era cars and tracks. It runs on weak PCs and has great mods, but handling, AI and content are weak; sim fans should skip it.
Great for
F1 fans on low-end PCs who want the 2014 season, split-screen or co-op, and mods
Main risk
A content-stripped F1 2013 copy with arcade-ish handling, weak AI and dead online
