Frontier are working on an officially licensed F1 management game, named, well, F1 Manager 2022. A new behind-the-scenes look is now available, enticing fans of hardcore racing games. If you're looking to get your blood pumping in advance, here's five mods for high-intensity racing games!
Subaru WRC Mod
By Miczelov
The amount of cars available is quite a notable part of racing games, with the greater the variety in playstyles and handling, the better. Mods that add more cars to racing games, then, hit a chord with people, like this mod for DIRT 3 that brings in new cars, new teams, and new liveries to decorate your vehicles. Most happily of all, it's perfectly compatible with the latest release on Steam, for easy installation for many players.
Grid Autosport AI Complex Mod
By NT-User
Racing games are generally intended for playing with others - deciding who's the finest racer of the group, and best suited for fast-paced decision making. However, some would argue one needs to practice first, and that's what bots are for. Some games' bots don't provide an adequate challenge - but with this mod, the AI for GRID Autosport will present a greater difficulty, and be a much more efficient test of your skills.
FUEL: REFUELED
By Vetron
Fuel: Refueled is an enhancement modification project for the game Fuel. It brings many changes, fixes, and improvements to the base game, as well as adding new features requested by the community. In 2011 the mod added support for the Fuel demo and as of 2012, the release version of the mod features support for all localizations and remains 100% online compatible.
Drive Any Car in Career Mode - Colin McRae Rally 2005
By IonTank
With this mod you can drive in the whole career with any car you want! Must be unlocked first though, you can however modify a file to win a particular car sooner. Sometimes, racing games limit the options available in a race to either teach new mechanics or a particular playstyle, but this mod allows players freedom to engage with the game's levels in a new way and try out new strategies ahead of time.
BayetasMod
BayetasMod is a complete overhaul of GRID2 aimed at providing a realistic and immersive racing experience. The mod features new physics and car handling systems to better simulate realistic physics in real life; new camera and replay camera views for watching your racing in action; improved visual presentation with both external programs and config changes; and quality of life changes like removing intro videos for repeat plays.
Counting Down
F1 Manager 2022 is the newest officially licensed F1 title by Frontier, a studio probably best known for Elite: Dangerous. Coming out in about a month, they've been releasing behind-the-scenes vids ahead of release in order to build up hype. Given the game's emphasis on realism, their most recent video showcasing the detail in their face-scanning technology has got fans excited for what comes next for the game. Their first video involved interviews with team managers.
