the Driver and Live the Life" as they take on the role of an
up-and-coming driver on the FIA Formula One World circuit. Sequel

around the EGO game engine, which renders more detailed damage
and physics for in-game cars across larger environments than
technologies used in other games. Additional features include:
unprecedented authenticity with real-world Formula One racing, a
huge range of tunable vehicle variables, your favorite drivers
from the FIA circuit, new circuits and rule changes for 2011 and

A New Focus on Multiplayer Gaming
---------------------------------
F1 2011 builds extensively on the multiplayer options from F1
2010. Split-screen racing is included for the first time in a
high-definition Formula One title. Competitive online racing is
extended with 16 players going head-to-head in Grand Prix with up
to 8 AI drivers added to simulate the full grid of 24 drivers. An
innovative new co-op Championship enables two players to lead
their favorite Formula One team to Driver and Constructor glory
across the course of a Formula One season. These enhancements are
complimented by additional quick fire modes including Time
Attack.
New Circuits for 2011
---------------------
Two stunning new additions to the race extend the
number of circuits to feature in F1 2011 to 19. Players will be
able to debut ahead of the drivers on the Buddh International
Circuit, the home of the first Formula 1 Grand Prix of India and
players will be able to test themselves on the iconic Nürburging
circuit for the first time in High Definition, as this legendary
track returns for the 2011 season.
Be the Driver, Live the Life
----------------------------
From the paddock to the track, F1 2011 takes players closer to
the experience of being a Formula One driver than ever before. A
new Parc Ferme area, an expanded and revamped Paddock, new Pit
Lane, celebration and reaction cinematics and an enhanced media
interaction system fully immerse players in the glamour, pressure
and excitement of being a Formula One driver. Players progress
from rookie to FIA Formula One Drivers' World Champion in an
extensive career mode where gamers fight to become priority
driver and shape the development of the car by performing well in
races and earning performance upgrades.
All the Cars, All the Stars
---------------------------
Fully licensed, F1 2011 features all the drivers set to contest
the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship, including Sebastian
Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher and
Jenson Button. All 2011 teams are represented including Ferrari,
Red Rull Racing, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and Lotus Renault GP
in their iconic black and gold livery.
KERS, DRS and More
------------------
F1 2011 includes all the new rule changes set to make this year's
season the most exciting yet. F1 2011 debuts DRS (Drag Reduction
System) - the new system which enables drivers to adjust the rear
wing on the car to give a boost of up to 10km. KERS also returns,
giving players an extra 80BHP for up to 6.67 seconds, enabling
drivers to blast past rivals. Combined, these systems encourage
close wheel-to-wheel racing with new options for both defense and
attack. This season's new Pirelli tires are faithfully simulated
in the game, and if players push their car too hard they may
experience a range of authentic new damage failures.
Day and Night Racing
--------------------
The 2011 Formula 1 Ethiad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix comes
alive with a full day/night transition which recreates the
special atmosphere at this unique track. Every one of the
existing circuits from the 2010 roster has been given a complete
visual overhaul. New atmospheric effects, including dynamic
clouds, compliment a weather system which features an advanced
rain model that affects on-track grip. Powered by the EGO Game
Technology Platforms, F1 2011 pushes forward the graphical
standard of what can be achieved in a racing game.
