F1 2020 GAME DRIVERS
To put it mildly, the inclusion of these two drivers in F1 2020 stopped me in my tracks.
F1 2020 GAME DRIVER
Juan isn't racing right now - he's still recovering - but the fact he's included as a driver to hire in the game struck me as a touching gesture.Īnthoine Hubert, another driver involved in the very same accident as Juan but who tragically lost his life, remains in the game if you participate in the F2 campaign. Among them is Juan Manuel Correa - an Ecuadorian-American F2 driver who was nearly killed in a brutal crash last season. When you're selecting a second driver to accompany you on your team, you're encouraged to pick from a small group of rising Formula 2 stars ready to take that next step into the premier class. Those are the sort of things that makes F1 2020 a success - elements that prove the game isn't merely a competent simulation of the sport, but also respects and understands it, too. As a motorsport nerd and a massive fan of Will's from the time I was a teenager watching F1 races on Speed Channel, this little bit of world building made me giddy.
And this is a fact the game makes sure you're well aware of, immediately from the get go.Īs you begin your team's journey, you'll sit down for an interview with F1's Will Buxton himself, who will rattle off a list of drivers who also owned the teams they raced for, and note that it's been something like four decades since anyone's done the same. What makes your team especially important is that you're both the driver and the owner. So when a new team enters the fray, their presence is felt. You don't have the 30 or so clubs with 40-man rosters and hundreds of players in farm systems that you get in other sports. If you're not familiar with Formula 1, it's really quite an exclusive sport. One of the things I absolutely love about My Team is that the game treats the addition of an 11th constructor like the big deal that it is. That would've been cool to see here, though I have to imagine there's something in the FIA's stipulations that might stand in the way of such an experience in an official F1 title. These sponsors are all fake, which isn't a huge deal, though I seem to remember Grid - another classic Codemasters racer - incorporating a similar mechanic except with real brands. You even get to design your team's livery and sign sponsors that appear on the car, with objectives they'll demand you fulfill if you want to get paid. If you always imagined your ideal racing simulation having a franchise mode, it's an absolute joy. The R&D skill tree from previous games returns, but now you also have a monthly schedule to fill out with driver development events, PR press tours and team-building exercises. This covers everything from investing in various departments of the operation, from power unit development, to the marketing side of the business. My Team has you starting the 11th team on the Formula 1 grid and charting your crew's rise to prominence. (As an aside, if you've never touched Motorsport Manager, go pick it up immediately after you're done reading this - it's only $6 on the App Store (opens in new tab) for crying out loud.)
F1 2020 GAME PC
If you've ever played Motorsport Manager on PC or mobile, but wished those games also put you in the drivers' seat as well, you're going to love My Team. Where F1 2020 really brings its new ideas is in that My Team mode.
