F2 is really sublime

Recommended Posts

I have been racing on and off for many years with almost every racing title that has been released, and i have still not received that satisfaction level that brings one back, until now. Asseto Corsa got me close but the lack of championships was poorly implemented. Credit where credit is due to CM, the F2 Championship finally gave me that wow factor.

Firstly the Visuals during that first qualy session and race in Bahrain, using cockpit cam with a realistic filed of view is outstanding (Would love a virtual mirror, but that is for a different discussion) The PR Arrows work well for me at least.

The sound of the F2 cars is fantastic and i think has been replicated to a very high standard. The handling is on the edge, it rewards precision and it makes a mockery of you, when you think you are driving like the e-sports guys, battering the gearbox and cutting corners like they re not there, the curbs this year have consequences.

I am enjoying F2 so much i have put only one hotlap in  on the F1 Ferrari and when straight back to F2.....

Couldn’t agree more. The F2 cars in the game are really great. Such a blast to drive, challenging but so rewarding when you get in the rhythm of their handling quirks compared to the F1 cars. Absolutely agree on the engine sounds as well, the audio team absolutely nailed it on these.

I’m kind of similar. I’ve started both the main F1 career mode and also doing a separate F2 Championship concurrently alongside. I really hope they can implement the ability for us to use our own custom AI characters in F2 later down the line. I get why they wanted to keep the main career mode focussed on F1 but would love to have a separate career mode for F2 too.

I feel that it's a bit of a mixed bag. I had a blast driving the F2 car in the scenario at the Red Bull Ring. However, the Sprint Race at Abu Dhabi felt nothing like this and the car just felt horrible.

Yeah I've only done a couple of races so far both around Bahrain in the F2 championship but yeah I've found them quite enjoyable to race as well. I've not started career yet mostly due to tryin gto finish careers on the older games first before starting one up on 2019  so haven't played the F2 scenario's yet but I am looking forward to it.
