Paul Jeal (Game Director) discusses how Codemasters have tried to get more people involved in F1 through new features in F1 2012. This includes through firstly a Young Driver's Test which is a real life test where young hopeful drivers from lower formulas try to show their skills for the first time in an F1 car. This can be a very important stage for a young race driver. Also there are Hot Lap training videos which ease the new players of F1 into how the car reacts and how to attack each track correctly to achieve the fastest time, through such things like using the correct gear for each corner.
This year in F1 2012 the cars are a lot similar than the previous year, also each car has their own specific stats, e.g. advantages and disadvantages.
Codemasters have worked with all the F1 teams and engineers to get the best experience for controlling the cars.
The new menu gives a 'more premium look' than last years game. Also importantly load times have been reduced. The tracks now also have more crowds and fans around them. There will be the new 2012 COTA track introduced to the game, this is now a new track every year since 2010.
A new lighting system will be introduced to improve the 'graphical fidelity year on year'.
