Open beta testing is now live for F1 Online: The Game, the web-based Formula One racing game. The official website is mum about this, but the game's Facebook page spills the beans:

F1 Online: The Game Open Beta starts today 26th June

We’re pleased to announce the start of Open Beta for F1 Online: The Game today. Invitations are longer required to play, so if you’re signed up you can sign in!

Please note that with the end of the Closed Beta we have wiped all team and race data from the game’s servers for the start of Open Beta.

Now that we have entered Open Beta, there will be no further wipes of team or race data from the game meaning that when we transition from Open Beta to full release you will be able to keep playing with the same team from Open Beta, all your progress will remain intact.

Codemasters Points are also be available for purchase in Open Beta should you wish to invest in additional customisation options or convenience items.

If you haven’t yet signed up to play, sign up now at http://www.f1onlinethegame.com/
