Can someone explain this "F1 2016’s new career mode spans 10 seasons and will take you deeper into the world’s most glamorous, exciting and prestigious motorsport...." When we say 10 seasons, are we saying the game takes us all to way back to the 2007 season to present? Now that would be rad indeed !


I would imagine it'll be 2016's tracks 10 times in a sense much like the earlier games  because that would mean CM would likely have to license the extra tracks  that aren't on the calendar anymore if they were to do more. Granted it would be nice but I think career mod essentially means racing the 2016 calendar 10 times. Just upgrading your car and abilities and such t osuit your style as you go. You will have the option to move from one team to another at various points for a new challenge and such. But again you get to pick and choose. The only thing you have full control over at the start of career is your race number and your starting team. After that it's just a case of seeing if you can impress people and convince them that you want to race for them then that's up to you to decide.


I recommend you try playing one of the 2010-2014 games then you'll get an idea of what career mode is all about. I would suggest going and trying F1 2010 as it sounds like it's going to be more like that one than the one on the slightly newer games.

Why would it be 10 of the same season, and since this is a new platform game, why can't it be 10 seasons starting with 2007 ? If this is the case we should see some amazing circuits introduced to the game.  that would give us tracks like:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Circuit de Nevers
Istanbul Park
Fuji Speedway 
Valencia Street Circuit 
Korea International Circuit
Buddh International Circuit
Baku City Circuit


 I add Nurburgring to it  

I hate the f1 version of Nurburgring, weirdest most uncomfortable track ever

Do you think they'll have the same rules as the real F1 where if you get into Q3 you start on the tire you set your fastest lap in Q2 ? I forgot all about that rule. 
I think this was already in F1 2015 as the tires that I used to start on if I got in to Q3 were worn out a bit from Q2. Also it lets me choose if I get knocked out.

At first light I had the same impression of the Nurburgring GP and I have to say that view has changed as I've grown to appreciate that fact that this circuit is made to exploit the drivetrain of an F1 or IndyCar.  Any other class types are difficult to master on this very persnickety circuit.  All in all, not a bad circuit, but not my favorite on the F1 calendar.

Check out this video of me racing against one of the fastest female drivers in Forza in the 1990 #1 Scuderia Ferrari 641- I still can't catch her to date!!

Okay, just found out that F1 2016 will be shown at the Square Enix stage at 4pm Los Angeles time. So it's around 1am UK time I think?

Any news on E3 gameplay yet? Someone said Codemasters would be at E3 on Tuesday...
They're at E3 starting today for a couple of days. Thursday will be an exciting day. Probably at the end of this E3 day people will start uploading F1 2016 gameplay from the E3 stand from codemasters. So we'll see, we'll see.

Hope Q3 is sorted for f1 2016 I played a full qualifying session and the pole lap was half a second slower than the Q2 time with exactly the same conditions. Times should get faster not slower.

Will the A.I. drivers in this game be utterly hopeless like in 2015, where they are just game breaking lemons on Expert difficulty?  If so, I'll keep my money, and wait till someone who knows what they are doing with an F1 game gets the licence of you lot.

If by "hopeless" you mean "actually pretty good, compared to any other simcade game", then yes, let's hope so.

No, I mean hopeless, like how the A.I. drives into you after you overtake them, or hits the brakes right in front of you in a DRS zone, or how they get out of the way right up until you try to overtake them, then they just turn into you.  That's what I mean by utterly hopeless.

Hmm, i am little disapointed after that what i saw today...
Why? The footage looks great to me, and it's only TT/work in progress.
It's strange but i don't know... I have mixed feeling, obviously we can't say anything about physic, but rest look completly sam like 2015.

@TomskiPl Just wait until you get to play it or see some more footage of actual racing etc, it's definitely a big step up from '15. One lap of TT doesn't really do the handling/game justice in my opinion! :)

yeah I prefer Hockenheim over the Nurbrgring as well although I do enjoy racing both personally
