F1 2017

F1 2017 lets you race in the 2017 World Championship, drive classic Formula 1 cars and build a career across ten years. You compete on track while also managing car development, engine and gearbox use, team performance and other off-track matters.

Career and car development

In the expanded Career mode, you hone your skills and develop your car over multiple seasons. Manage resources to improve performance and reliability while avoiding grid penalties, and oversee the six key components of a modern F1 power unit. You can also develop team skills such as pit stop times, Research and Development speed and new part reliability.

New Practice Programmes include Fuel Management and Race Pace, which let you earn resource points. Career mode also includes updated locations, off-track negotiations and invitational events featuring classic cars. You can choose female driver avatars, change your car number and helmet design during the season, and use the number 1 on your career car after winning the Driver’s Championship.

Classic cars and events

The game features classic cars from five historic teams: Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull Racing, Renault and Williams. You can race them across multiple modes, including Single Class and Multi Class Races, and take part in invitational events with four event types:

• Overtake
• Pursuit
• Checkpoint Challenge
• Time Attack

Championships and circuits

Championships mode offers race events with rules and structures that differ from the official Championship. Alongside the 20 official circuits, the game includes four alternate layouts: Britain Short, Japan Short, USA Short and Bahrain Short. It also features Monaco at Night.

Online racing

Online races support full grids of 20 cars in public or private sessions, with two additional spectator spots. You can race either 2017 or classic cars in all multiplayer session types. Online features include matchmaking, stats and a levelling system, while Event mode has a competitive scoring system.

Gaze-controlled camera

With Tobii Eye Tracking, you can control the in-game camera with your gaze to look ahead or check the competition. Clean UI displays additional information only when you need it.
