After months of speculation, Codemasters Birmingham finally revealed only last week that the much-requested safety car feature would make an appearance in F1 2011. Understandably many fans were delighted, but others wondered why it took the developer so long to confirm its inclusion.
Rather than wantonly speculating, we decided to ask senior producer Paul Jeal about the real story behind the delay and like a true sport he explained exactly what went down between the studio and the representative license holders.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."

F1 2011 is running on the Xbox 360 and F1 2015 is the Playstation 4 version. We take a couple of laps at the floodlit Singapore, one of the jewels in the Formula 1 crown, and we are using the now dominant Mercedes.
F1 2013 is the pinnacle of the series. They newer ones are arcady and watered down
i had no idea that codemasters did a F1 game so that explains why it was so ahead of its time.

We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."
There is career mode and all the teams, tracks and drivers so yeh this gets my money cos im big f1 fan
There is no career mode. You get to play as one driver for one season as often as you like. I think its called championship mode.
Mate this is a proper F1 game, all the teams, drivers, tracks, rules etc. so get the real thing over the amazing porject cars for a true f1 experance.
They way some guys just bash into online rather than try and race clean the saftey car will be out every lap,its allways good if you can get a party going and play online that way you get a majority vote to kick trouble makers.
"The first thing we tried to do once we got our hands on the latest F1 2011 build was trigger a cataclysmic crash to bring out a safety car, but all we achieved was a crumpled front-wing."
So the same damage system as 2010 then? :|
