F1 22 Offers First In-Game Look at the Miami International Autodrome


EA Sports has shared a preview of the Miami GP circuit from the upcoming F1 22 game, including a teaser of the supercars that will be included in this year's title.

Just days before the real Formula 1 teams take to the track for the first time in Miami, the F1 22 team has shared some cinematic clips from the new racing venue.

F1 22 will include the Miami International Autodrome, a circuit which has yet to see racing action. This continues a recent improvement to the series' approach to in-game tracks. In recent editions the Codemasters / EA team has added tracks into the game that were not present at release to try and keep up with last minute scheduling changes to the real F1 calendar due to COVID.

F1 22 will be released on July 1st sporting a new naming convention for the series, and will include VR for PC users and a number of other features fans have been asking for in recent years. If you watch the preview below until the end, you'll also catch a quick glimpse of a McLaren 720S Spider, which will be among the supercars featured in F1 22.

Miami's circuit is 5.412 kilometers long, and includes 19 corners, three DRS zones and one faux marina. Racing action takes place this weekend starting on Friday with two free practices, and culminating in a 57 lap race on Sunday, May 8th at 15:30 EST.

It looks impressive for sure. I just can't see spending $60 every year for a single series racing simulation. I'll stick with the wide variety of cars and tracks that are offered by AMS2, rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa thanks.

with their great variety and great mod and racing feel, but with a poor AI
 
I was shocked honestly, but I'm not saying I'm right, maybe it's just my eyes or my screen settings or so. But please go a few comments up and find the trailer for F1 2020 that I posted (I haven't played or checked 2021). Then tell me aren't the graphics way, way more realistic than this iteration of the game?
Every year there are slight tweaks. So there is minimal thing that make the game every year a little bit better looking. RTX shadows etc for example last year. But if you compare the 2017 and 2021 game side by side, the difference is not that big. Especially texture and enviroment wise.
 
Fascinating how many people classify something as not OK just because they're not used to it.

You are very much OK with RAP/ Hiphop music circulating in your children's schools although a big part of it is loaded with indescent words or criminality promotion. And when someone presents a new music genre to you, you bash it. Ask yourself this: Do you dare to bash RAP for example? then why you dare to bash something because it sounds Brasillian?
I bash rap as much as possible.
 
A glimpse at VR (warning dude moves his head way too much) and track details and a 4k hotlap

only the drums maybe remind people of Brazil, though this is not Brazilian. trust me. Senna would not approve :D
 
I skipped F1 2021 because the game's menus were once again entirely keyboard or steering button-driven, which I find super-aggravating. If they still don't add mouse functionality for menus in F1 22, I'm skipping it too. As it is, sports games are nothing but a new coat of paint, and if they can't even make a basic improvement like mouse-operated menus, then what are they even charging full price for?
