F1 22 review: racing, supercars and... interior design? (2024)

FAQs

Can you race supercars in F1 22? ›

As Formula 1 enters a new era for 2022, so too has the latest installment of EA Sports' F1 game series. F1 cars aren't the only vehicles you can drive in the game, you can now unlock and race actual supercars including Ferraris, Aston Martins, McLarens and Mercedes.

Those who get their kicks not from the numbers and tables of a management game, but from phenomenal speeds on the track should choose 'F1 22'. The annual release of this racing game consistently ranks among the top and has recently received an update that added even more content.

After driving F1 cars in actual simulators I can say the F1 cars int he game, (especially wheel support) are horrible in the feeling and feedback. F1 2020 is closer to real life 2022 cars than F1 22.

Hypercars are extremely expensive, slightly faster sports cars. They are built mainly with top speed and road safety in mind, and they are exorbitantly priced and unsafe for racing on a track.

It costs $200 million to just get in. The sum is split equally amongst the current teams. You'd also have to budget for building a brand new car and powertrain from scratch. Lamborghini doesn't have a racing history like Ferrari, so it would be too expensive.

It is an estimated 20% lower grip than previous games. That said, the tyre contact model is more complex (increase from 4 to 12 points IIRC) leading to theoretically more progressive grip. That said, TC mechanic is supposedly not adjusted to this loss of grip and hence works much less effeciently.

In CM F1 games (F1 2015 onwards) if you use controller there are controller filters that are always enabled and cannot be turned off, those filters slow down inputs and limit how much you can turn depending on how fast the car is going.

Realism Games

Think of it what F1 23 is to Formula One, ACC is to GT World Challenge Series. However, building upon their first release, the Assetto Corsa Competizione physics and graphics are top tier. You feel every bump, curb and blade of grass you run over.

In F1 22 though you're only confined to a handful of fixed camera angles each designed to house one of the supercars. The eight models of supercar, 10 if you include the two safety cars that come with the champions edition of F1 22, are de facto replacements for the classic F1 cars which were last seen in F1 2020.

Players can complete goals to get tokens that unlock supercars in F1 22. A lot of things pop up on the screen in F1 22, including news, tutorials and goals. The goals will usually appear on the menu when players load into the game. They tell players what needs to be accomplished, and that completion will unlock a token ...
