F1 2011 will race into retail this week. F1 2011 ships to stores in North America today for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The PC edition is also available as a digital download from multiple online services. Players will be able to race against 16 players online plus eight AI cars to simulate a full 24 car grid, team up with a friend to play through a full season in a new co-op Championship mode or enjoy multi-player racing from the sofa in split-screen mode.
To mark the game’s launch, Codemasters has released a new video which shows the world’s fastest sport in glorious slow-motion. Capturing how Codemasters Birmingham has authentically reproduced the unique physics and visual detail from the most advanced racing cars on the planet, the video features key racing moments including dynamically changing weather, the new Drag Reduction System, and the 2011 Safety Car. Watch the Formula 1 cast of stars, including Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, race wheel-to-wheel and battle the elements in the new trailer (shown above).
