Codemasters F1, UK release Sept 24th
While many of us have been patiently waiting for Gran Turismo 5 to finally appear (me included), the fine people at Codemasters have release some footage of their upcoming installment of their F1 title. The UK release date is set for September 24th for the Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 and PC. From the looks of these videos they have certainly upped their game, but then we would expect no less with GT5 on the horizon. In this newly released footage we get a glimpse into sunset/night racing at tracks such as Yas Marina Circuit (Abu Dhabi) and the streets of Singapore Grand Prix. Until GT5 , this could be enough to keep you going!
