Renewing yourself and knowing how to adapt to changes is the challenge of a game that must have its new version every year. In this respect, F1 2020 unveils some of its novelties. As very often his revolution, but with the ambition to go even further on what makes his success. The F1 "dconfin" arrives and it seems in excellent health!
F1 is in turmoil. There is no question of having a normal season this year. The big announcements therefore remain a little behind (except in the case of Vettel's departure from Ferrari), but we still have a virtual solution that is looming and it has integrated official news.
Update
So it is of course a nice update teams aligned in 2020 and 22 circuits which were to constitute this season. The version we were able to try had 7 including the very expected Hanoi and Zandvoort. Some beautiful historic ladies were also there, as well as the anteroom of F1 with F2.
But let us return to the two new circuits which benefit from the same care as those which are already present at the level of their modeling. Hano plays on balance with a standard straight line, but also very technical passages. Something to pull your hair out to find the right settings to get the full potential of the car.
A full potential which will have to develop on the 10 seasons of a career in F1 2020. The management of the evolution of the stable remains almost identical to the last version, with all the same some novelties which reflect the difficult choices of reality. Thus, the development of the engines will be in accordance with the specific advances of the brands and you will be able to choose to sacrifice reliability on the altar of performance. Should we take these risks?
Your own curia
If the management of the stable is now part of the DNA of the franchise with its test sessions and improvement trees, you can now go even further, creating your own from A Z. Search for sponsors, choice of a motorist, pilots, books, logos … You have enough to develop the team your image with performances that correspond to the middle of the table at the start of career.
This should affect how you approach racing. If a driver still wants to be in front, a team manager can be satisfied with seeing his teammate score precious points in the championship. Like any boss, you have to manage the team calendar. Development phases, pilot training, your business grows and changes as it evolves. All of this bodes well.
F1 2020 is likely to be much more complex if you decide to be both team manager and driver. But it should gain in depth. In order not to lose everyone, Codemasters always has a package of helpers available.
One for all
If you do not want to immerse yourself in a long and complex career and the pleasure must pass before the challenge, options of "casualization" are proposed. Power steering, adjoining edges, automatic return to the track, automatic adjustment of the engine mapping, DRS also automatic. In short, you have everything to return to the era of Super Monaco GP or almost. Don't scream at scandal, these are options and it's up to the user to choose whether happiness comes through effort or not. This is to attract F1 fans who are not ace of the controller and the steering wheel
Besides, to add a little friendliness, an old comrade is back: the shared screen or split screen if you want to be "in". It is therefore the possibility of playing two in front of the same screen. Probably not a way to turn the table, but a nice touch all the same.
Joystick or steering wheel in your hands, it's always the same pleasure. The car is alive, it is sensitive to your driving style and evolves according to it. Swing everything around and you're going to shoot your tires. Drive violently and watch your consumption soar. Driving is also smartly managing your race, choosing the best time to stop at the stand, using DRS whenever possible, attacking when necessary or on the contrary driving cooler …
WE WAIT … F1 2020 LIKE GOOD WINE
has improved over time. Admittedly, the personality does not change in depth and that's good, because F1 2020, even alone in racing remains a beautiful official reference of F1. So much so that the Youtubers can't take it anymore from the FIA "strikes" with content identified as real races … This iteration 2020 looks very good with real progress without changing their heart of driving which will gain some additional subtleties. Winning a race in F1 2020 gives immense pleasure, even without necessarily being on the first place of the podium.
