Turn 10 have laser scanned versions of Spa, Silverstone and Suzuka that perhaps they'd licence to Codemasters. Saying that i imagine the cost of the F1 licence alone is a big enough hurdle to overcome without factoring in 3rd party assets.

Not defending Codies at all but i imagine they have access to data regarding the average player vs career portion completed ratio. I also imagine that a large percentage do only one or two seasons before sticking to multiplayer or moving on to other games. In this regard it's understandable that the F2 portion of the career isn't the focus. Not saying it's right but i can understand their reasoning.

First time in the beta and am so happy. Looking forward to giving feedback on handling.

F2 confirmed? I'm a happy boy. Hurry up release day 🏁

I'm with you totally. I don't even bother with TT. When i venture online the "fast" racers come unstuck when i'm host and set setups to "fixed" and assists to zero. Hoping the introduction of this spec car will usher in "hardcore" lobbies with fixed setups and no assists.

I've preordered and prepaid F1 2019 as i've supported Codemasters since Dizzy in the 1980s. They've given me countless hours of entertainment so i'm more than happy to support them.

On the subject of setups i'd love for Codies to limit the use of extreme setups on multiplayer. I tend to stick to "fixed setup" lobbies in order to have a level playing field. At least i know i lost due to my lack of skill rather than not having a trick setup.

The handling was a nice upgrade over 2017 so i hope that's been further refined. I also hope that F2 is actually in and that we haven't got our hopes up for nothing. Finally, multiplayer safety ratings and penalties need an overhaul as it's still too easy for griefers to cause havoc.

F1 2019 will include a racecar which, if spelt backwards, is still racecar.

I do try to but some swipes are so quick and violent that no amount of opposite motion will prevent the spin. In some cases it exacerbates it.

I'm no programmer and don't know how hard this would be but surely something could be coded to recognise when people spin you off on a straight? So many times i've been spun out of the lead whilst the dirty racer carries on their merry way. Rage inducing and ruins the fun of multiplayer.

All i want is penalties that actually deter the rammers and corner cutters from doing so. Whilst the safety rating is a step in the right direction i've lost count of the amount of times i've been spun into a wall with terminal damage, ending my race. The culprit? Carries on their merry way with a paltry 2 second penalty.

Can't wait. Hope to get lucky with the beta this year...

For some reason when i try to play the weekly challenge with the DLC cars it doesn't recognise my season pass, despite D+ being on my profile. Edit: i'm stupid. Both cars were waiting to be installed on my Xbox

Can anyone else get the Wheelspin achievement to pop on Xbox? Have run plenty of races without any assists enabled and have made no progress towards it.
