F1 24 third deep-dive trailer is all about tracks and drivers
07.05.2024 - 16:11 / thesixthaxis.com
Codemasters has released the third in a series of deep dive trailers for F1 24, this time digging into the track and driver updates that we’ll see in the yearly sports series. F1 24 is coming out on 31st May (with three days early access for special editions) across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
All 24 circuits from the 2024 calendar are featured in the game, but with no new additions by F1, Codemasters has been able to focus on rebuilding and improving what was in the game last year.
Silverstone has been overhauled to improve its accuracy with every bump, kerb and elevation change closer to the real deal – given how popular F1 is in the UK, this is an important one to revisit now and then, even if the layout isn’t being modified. In contrast, Spa-Francorchamps has been in the spotlight a few times for changes to Eau Rouge and Raidillon being made to try and improve safety, in addition to the big new grandstand that overlooks the iconic corner. Then they’ve reprofiled ‘No Name’ corner and the Bus Stop chicane, and added a gravel trap at Bruxelles. Some of the other scenery has been tweaked to match reality better.
They’ve also revisited their work for the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Corniche Circuit to bring them closer to the real-world counterparts.
All of the 20 current drivers are in the game, as is the field of junior drivers in F2 – the 2023 season is in the game at launch with the 2024 F2 season coming in a free update – but there’s also some new Icons which you can hire in a My Team career with F1 Sim Racing champions Lucas Blakeley, Jarno Opmeer, and David Tonizza available for all. F1 24 Champions Edition will have exclusive access to 1976 champion James Hunt and 7x race winner Juan Pablo Montoya.
As previously detailed in the Career breakdown – see our preview here – you can now step into the boots of your favourite driver, whether that’s an F1, F2 or Icon driver that is in the game, and take them through a multi-season career. Audio samples from the real broadcasts have been added to the game, and will be played contextually at key moments, such as crossing the finish line or after a heavy crash.
Codies has also confirmed that the EGO engine has been updated with Ray-Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination to improve light, shadow and reflections. It’s not clear if this is PC only or available on consoles as well, but this should be the best looking iteration of the series, either way.

Helldivers 2 players rally around an unlikely hero who just wanted to make friends
When they’re not banding together to take on Sony or attempting to reinstate fired community managers, it turns out that Helldivers 2 players just want to make sure everyone feels included. Included in the co-op game’s endless war of attrition to protect Super Earth from bugs, robots, and basic awareness of military propaganda, and included in just having mates. Enter player ‘dremskiy’, whose tragic booting from a private game in which they just wanted to make friends has resulted in so many friend requests that their Steam account won’t accept any more.
