Codemasters announces that F1 2013 is now available for Windows PCs
on Steam,
accompanying the release of the Formula One racing simulation with
this trailer showing
a hotlap in Korea. Here's word on the game and the RaceNet network supporting
it:
F1 2013 players will get more from their game with RaceNet,
Codemasters’ free online community hub. RaceNet will power regular community
challenges, which began last weekend with a Time Trial event in Korea where
players competed to set the best time on online leaderboards around the circuit
in dry conditions in a Williams car. Each entrant will earn 1000XP which can go
towards unlocking rewards, including in-game helmets.
RaceNet also enables players to set up Custom RaceNet events. Players can set
their own Time Trial scenarios, choosing circuit, weather conditions, car and
duration of the event, and challenge their RaceNet friends to compete to set
their best time on leaderboards. RaceNet also includes visual stats and game
progress updates and every F1 2013 player with a RaceNet account will receive
the 1976 Ferrari 312 T2, as starring in the film Rush. Gamers can sign up to
RaceNet today at www.racenet.com.
F1 2013 is further improved and enhanced with wide-ranging technical and
gameplay improvements. New Scenario Mode pushes gamers to complete realistic
FORMULA ONE challenges and earn awards for quick-fire racing, whilst mid-session
saves allow players to complete a full GRAND PRIX weekend at their own pace. An
expanded Young Driver Test, based on the real world event set at Abu Dhabi’s Yas
Marina, eases novices into the world of FORMULA ONE and includes a range of
challenges to enable players to master elite driving techniques. F1 2013 makes
another dramatic leap forward in graphical quality, setting the benchmark for
how good a racing game can look, and improved driver AI behaviour will further
immerse players in unique FORMULA ONE races.
