F1 2016 new game mode idea!

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.
I was taking a shower when thinking about some ideas for upcoming F1 games, and then I thought of this:
It's kind of like FIFA Pro Clubs, converted into F1. The idea is that you can play online in a lobby, (you can do one-off races and a whole season with the same opponents (which can be your friends or random people from across the world, your continent or your country)). It's not like any other lobby, because you and your friends can take over a whole F1 team. Two of your friends are the drivers, they have no HUD (possibly the racing line but no data about other cars, their own car and lap times. Then the others are race engineers, which all have different data only they own. For example, there could be one engineer which can check the vehicle, then another one that can look at other cars that are out on track, and maybe a third one can check your and other drivers' pace. The drivers can ask this information to their race engineer via voice chat, or maybe voice commands (like in '15) if they have no available microphone. Of course you can swap drivers in your team after every race, so maybe one of your friends is amazing at Monaco but terrible at Catalunya, then you can let him do Monaco and a different friend can do Spain. Here's the idea in short:

- You and your friends take over a F1 team
- Two drivers, and a couple of race engineers that have control over the data.
- They can tell eachother information via voice commands
- This can be a whole season with the same people or one-off events. 

I think this would be a good idea, especially for gamers that love to be involved in some sort of league racing, but don't have the pace (yet). Of course as engineer these slower players can improve by checking when a faster player brakes, accelerates et cetera. 
(I'm talking about you and your friends all the time, but maybe you can group up with other people online you didn't know before)

Please let me know if this is an achieveable idea, and your opinions on it.  :)
Seb.

I like it! Ah the shower ideas, I swear so many great things are thought of and designed during a shower. There are many gamers out there that love the management of sports who could actually be attracted to an F1 game if this was included.

One small problem though I immediately thought of (possibly more but I'm tired), there'll need to be some serious data logging added to the game(s). Currently that is NOT available or even being discussed really as a viable option. Without it, setups will stay very disconnected to the car performance (like they have for many years now).

F1's real world technical detail is not this series strong suit. I'd love to see this series become far more technical than is current glorified arcade game.

this could be really big and possibly a big streaming event for maybe like the quickest drivers kinda like an e-sports event i think it may be too late to add a new game mode for 2016 though, probably 2017 as 2016 will basically just adding stuff back into 2016 that was removed in 2015 like career mode and co-op and safety car ect
