The packshots of Codemaster’s wacky Formula One tie-in,
F1 Race Stars, feature some subtle yet interesting clues. The driver on the far left is female, unassociated with any team and is the only unlicensed driver on the cover. She joins the likes of Vettel, Kovalainen, Alonso and Hamilton have already been shown off.
What could this mean for the game itself, which has already shown that it is willing to take some artistic license when it comes to portraying the sport? Unfortunately, Codemasters was unwilling to be drawn out on this subject. F1 Communication Manager, Andy Gray, simply replied, “We will be talking more about drivers and customisation at Gamescom.” The ability to create a driver and customise them remains as speculation for now, but all will become clear after
Gamescom (August 15-19).
