Codemasters and Koch Media today released the first gameplay trailers to their upcoming game, F1 2016 showcasing pro drivers behind the wheel on the tight Baku street circuit. This officially licensed racing simulator will race onto PS4, Xbox One and PC on August 19, 2016.
Codemasters also announced that there will be a Limited Edition of the game to pre-order which includes the F1 2016 CAREER BOOSTER DLC PACK, which will give players a head start in their F1 career. It gives the user a Research and Development boost that applies a percentage increase to all research and development credits earned by the player in each session in the new career mode. Exclusive Career Helmet and Laptop designs are also included. Once the player has selected their choice for their Career Helmet, this design is then applied to the laptop located within the Career hub.
The new video features Red Bull Racings Daniel Ricciardo and Jolyon Palmer from Renault Sport Formula One Team as they enjoy their first virtual laps of the Baku City Circuit and give their impressions on the challenging street circuit. The circuit itself is said to thrive on Baku’s very attractive urban atmosphere and its great combination of history and 21st century style. The historic city center, the beautiful seaside promenade and the impressive architecture all combine to provide the perfect backdrop for the spectacular new track.

Given the long history of messing the F1 series up, I’ll have to wait until more people play it before making a purchase really.
