- Codemasters extends its F1 deal to 2025 - 31 October 2019
Codemasters has just announced that it's extended its rights on the F1 licence to 2025 - with a further option for 2026 and 2027. Coming off the back of two outstanding entries in Codemasters' series, it's fantastic news for fans of the sport, and it marks the longest extension in the franchise's history. Codemasters first signed up in 2008, with the first entry being Sumo's stopgap Wii effort in 2009, with the fully-fledged F1 2010 following soon after. There have been lulls - F1 2014 marked a low-point for the series as the studio prepared for a new generation - but since then it's gone from strength to strength, with F1 2019 an enjoyable, detailed and passionate take on the sport that's bolstered by an esports offering now going into its third seasons that's become part and parcel of the sport itself.

- F1 2015 is free for keeps right now on Steam - 28 April 2018
Formula One fans should take note of this small window of opportunity where, not only can you play F1 2015 for free, but it will remain in your Steam library permanently. I’m not sure what else you need to read about it? You click a button and have a free forever game. It is yours. Like so many other Steam games you own, you never even have to install it. It can remain on a list that haunts you, reminding you of Steam sales gone by where you spent hard earned money for digital experiences you’ll never even find the time to touch; entire worlds you’ve promised to visit but will ignore, casting them into some electronic purgatory from whence they cry out to you in the night. Anyhow, this is a game about racing cars. They go real fast. ** NOTE: …and just as fast as the cars, this free game promotion and sale have already ended. Well. There’s that. ** (more&hel…
- F1 2015 is free on the Humble Store - 22 March 2018
The Humble Store has kicked off weekend sales on Bethesda and Codemasters games, and to attract your interest (and hopefully your attention) it's giving away the Codies racing sim F1 2015 for the next two days.  You might say that F1 2015 is "weird," and in fact we did say that in our review . We called it "the best representation of F1 racing to date," but hit it with a middling 61/100 score because of a "lack of content, unstable multiplayer suite, and unchanged foundations." It's been patched and updated a number of times since then, which has presumably improved the experience, and also it's free. Hard to go wrong at that price.  If racing is your thing, here are some other Codies deals you might find interesting:  * Dirt Rally - $10 (80 percent off); * Grid 2 Reloaded Edition - $12.50 (75 percent off); * F1 2017 - $18 (70 percent off); * Overlord - $1…
- Zoom Zoom: F1 2016 Announced - 27 May 2016
Nyyyyyommm. Nyim! Vrooooim. Those onomatopoeias, and others like them, signal the whizzing-past of both cars and announcements of annual sequels. Which can only mean that Codemasters today announced F1 2016 , the next in their Formula 1 drive ‘em up series. What’s new and exciting this year? Well let me tell you! It’s bringing back a car that can drive in front of you for your safety and delight. Not even a Formula 1 car – just some old Mercedes-Benz pootling about on the track when it thinks the race will get too exciting. A ‘racedad’, I think is the technical term. …

- Unlicensed Formula 1 mods ordered to be removed - 28 March 2016
Mods for Automobilista, F1 2013 and F1 2014 are no longer available after legal claims from Formula 1 s commercial rights holder demanded they be removed. As rather angrily detailed over on Pretend Race Cars , the threat of legal action from Formula One World Championships Ltd has resulted in over 30 pages of mods being removed from the Race Department forum . The general reason behind the removal is because the mods infringe on Formula 1 s copyrights cars looking like the real cars, that sort of thing and it is something for which F1 has every right to demand things be taken down. That said, it s not exactly like the modders are making big bucks off the mods. They re getting nothing from it. That s where it strays into the territory of the big boys throwing their weight around (hence the aforementioned anger). Still, if you want slightly up-to-date team, tracks and drivers you can pick…
