This is a sad day for racing fans. Codemaster's games were the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. I wish MS/Turn 10/Playground could somehow acquire them.
The good news is the developers are still alive. Hopefully someone has enough money to spin off a new studio free from EA and makes even better versions.
I’ve got to disagree. I won’t pretend the Rally games didn’t have their hay day but F1 has been an abomination for years.
Right, F1 has been rather forgettable. Honestly, their non rally titles are all mediocre at best.
