Do you think you have what it takes to be a Team Principal for an F1 team? We are very excited to bring the first officially licensed F1 Management game to consoles, so as the launch date approaches, F1 Manager 2022 We wanted to share some more details about with PlayStation players.
From August 25th, you can make all decisions for your team of choice from the comfort of your sofa or armchair of choice. Choose his one of F1’s 10 current teams and manage all the action off and on the track with a true broadcast style presentation and unrivaled depth and detail.
We worked closely with F1 to ensure that every aspect of the game represents a fast-paced and exhilarating world. Frontier’s team has worked hard to ensure that his console players enjoy a smooth and immersive experience. F1 Manager 2022 offers the same gameplay experience on all platforms. On consoles, controls are designed from the ground up to create seamless navigation between menus and racing action.
It’s race week
Taking part in the historic Belgian Grand Prix on the beautiful Spa-Francorchamps circuit requires your wits.
Before the race weekend starts, we need to make sure that all the parts we are developing for this race are complete and installed and ready to test the new set-up on the track. I have. Take full advantage of the data available in HQ, including circuit data that provides details about the track, timing data from previous races, potential safety cars, and potential weather forecasts.
Shall we touch on the weather? Whether you know your spa or not, rain is always a threat. As a team principal, how you prepare your drivers for this possibility can make or break your race weekend.
The weather center back at the factory provides weekend weather forecasts based on actual historical data. Heading into the race weekend, you’ll be presented with daily forecast forecasts for the entire session, based on the accuracy of the weather center. This facility needs to be upgraded if more accurate forecasts are needed.
tire time
However, knowing if and when it will rain is only part of the challenge. We tried to simulate the real-world challenges the team faces when the weather changes. This includes the impact of rain on the circuit. Tires on F1 cars tend to drop a small amount of rubber onto the track as they complete a lap, and that rubber is laid down on the surface of the circuit for more grip. If it rains in the middle of the session, it will eventually start to wash away this rubber and you will lose grip.
In addition to the usual soft, medium and hard tire compounds used in normal conditions, teams are also allocated medium and full wet tire compounds. They correspond to wet and very wet conditions, respectively. When to use these tires is up to you. Do you bet the Intermediates are good enough and hope the rain stops? Or do you put on full wet tires and hope it’s the right move?
Tire strategy can often change the course of a race in F1, and F1 Manager 2022 is no exception. Get this right and you’ll be on the podium in no time. Behind the grid while competitors sail in clouds of water vapor.
Changing weather and road conditions are just two of the many challenges players face. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the PlayStation player tackles the rest of the challenges he faces as the team’s principal at F1 Manager 2022.
