F1 2012 is out soon and a brief spin around the included track, Monza, confirmed what I had predicted. These are cars that look like stasis chambers with wheels and they mostly try to go as fast as they can. Sometimes it’s necessary to go slightly less fast but the cars hate that and would rather explode off the track. You are not a car though, you are a man in a car and you do not want to explode off the track if it can be avoided. I have no idea if Formula One cars are supposed to handle like they do in the game, or whether they were considerably better or worse in last year’s offering, but you could try the demo for yourself and see how it feels, or watch the trailer below instead.
