F1 2018 is currently the most accurate and realistic F1 racing simulator you can find on the market. Filled with great graphics and tons of content, the game which was developed and published by Codemasters, is not going to make you a real F1 driver but is certainly going to make you feel like one. Thanks to the use of an innovative Ego Engine the game is a step forward in comparison to other racing games. Furthermore, F1 2018 continues the tradition of enabling the player to drive classic cars, providing you with 8 new classic cars (besides 12 ones from previous games, implemented here) like Williams FW25 or Lotus 79.

The second car is 2003 Williams FW25 which was driven by the legendary Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher. With these cars you are going to feel like a real F1 star.

Gameplay

It shouldn't be surprising but the gameplay in F1 2018 is based mostly on racing. You can enjoy the game in either single player or multiplayer depending on your preferences. The racing in the game is well developed with updated physics and handling engine. In F1 2018 there are many options which you can modify in order to make your game more arcade or simulation type.

Game modes

The single player provides you with a well-developed campaign where you start as a newbie racer only to climb up on the ladder and finally become a champion. Furthermore, at the beginning of the game you can pick your rival, who is going to constantly follow your progress and be your biggest competitor. The most interesting aspect of the career mode is the fact that the game can change racing rules in the next season. It makes the game much more dynamic, complex, and unpredictable. Furthermore, it is true to the realistic F1 realities. 

Such changes often shift the balance of power between teams and drivers. In fact, one of such changes had led to the Ferrari domination for a few years. During the career, the driver is going to also participate in the interviews, which are going to shape his character and fan opinions about him. The offline mode also allows you to enjoy the practice sessions. Thanks to this you will be able to polish your skills.

Multiplayer is where this video game really shines. You can participate in races against other players in both ranked and unranked mode. In ranked mode, you are going to gain points for winning and lose them, when you are defeated. It uses the standard ELO system, thanks to which most of the times you are going to be placed in games with people of a similar level of skill. You need to build up your super license via racing, to become an even better driver. You can also challenge your friends.
