F1 2020 new and returning features
The headline new feature is the ‘My Team’ mode, which lets players create and manage their very own F1 team.
“In a series of firsts for the F1 franchise, F1 2020 offers My Team,” reads the official game description.
“This major new game mode allows players to create their F1 team and take their place alongside the established 2020 line-up, with a new driver-manager experience offering a unique insight into the world of F1.”
Fortunately, the new My Team mode is accompanied by the established Career mode, which now comes with new options.
Players will now have the opportunity to compete in shorter seasons featuring ten or 16 races. This includes the Hanoi Circuit and Circuit Zandvoort.
“For social play with friends, two-player split-screen makes its welcome return, alongside a host of new options designed to help new players and adjust the F1 challenge to match their expertise.
“These modes are in addition to the core F1 and F2 racing experiences which remain as challenging as ever for those who love the intensity of simulation racing.”
