F1 2018 release date confirmed

Codemasters has just revealed that this year's entry in the long-running racing series, F1 2018, is heading to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on Friday, August 24, the same weekend as the Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.

"We were delighted by the reception that the highly-acclaimed F1 2017 game received, and are extremely excited to be able to further build on such a strong starting point with F1 2018" said the franchise director Paul Jeal.

"Career mode has been further expanded to immerse players even deeper into the world of F1 than before, with the return of a highly requested feature back into the franchise. We are also adding more classic cars, again listening to our fans as to which of the historical F1 cars they would most like to virtually drive next. Outside of those headline additions there are many other great enhancements to be revealed before the game launches."
