The final Virtual Grand Prix is here, and we’re marking the occasion with something special. Today, we’re focusing on F1® 2020’s new split-screen mode by showing off a three-lap race from Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, featuring Valtteri Bottas’ Mercedes and Lance Stroll’s Racing Point.

- Codemasters secures World Rally Championships licence - 2 June 2020
Motorsport games guru Codemasters has secured a new licence to add to its lineup of racing titles: The FIA World Rally Championship. The deal, which will see Codemasters make the official WRC rally games for five years, will also give the UK-based developer and publisher the reins over all esports tournaments officially associated with the franchise, as was reported in GI.biz.

However, there's been no official confirmation as to whether they will develop both from there on in. The first WRC game from Codemasters is scheduled for a 2024 release and will be made for PC, console, and mobile. This is Codemaster's second big motorsport licence, having been making the official Formula 1 games for over ten years. The F1 games have d…
