I'm new to this series, Is it hard to play?

[DEZ]

I don't know much about F1 (all I know is that there are cool race cars screaming on the track), but I like management games. Would I be able to play this game even though I don't know much about F1 racing? I'd like to know before hit purchase button.

Buy on Steam, if it's not for you, refund within 2 hours of playtime.

It's not hard to get a grasp on. Many of the F1 rules are explained in-game like having to use two different tire compounds in a race, grid penalties for changing parts past your limit, etc. The UI is pretty easy to engage with and there are multiple difficulties.

I'd say go for it if you're into management games. There is quite a bit to oversee off track like sponsorships, car development, keeping your staff happy, contract negotiations, etc.

The game explains everything that you should know while playing so i think you give it a try and you can refund it

[Jaegerin8]

It explains most parts of F1 that are relevent to gameplay within the game, and the games tutorial guides you through most things as they come up, as Mr Melon said, buy it, if you don't think it's for you, just refund it, you'll know within the first 30-40 minutes for sure.

Anything you don't understand, you can always ask here on the forums. (Some of us have been watching F1 for decades...)

I just started and wow, my mouth dropped when I saw the car parts. All the information about downforce, tire cooling, etc., is something I never thought about when driving. I haven't even started the first race yet lol.

The game definitely looks more complicated than it actually is. But it's still fun.

Literally mouse clicking only, so you can do other stuff with your free hand.

it sounds like ur in the same boat as me, i havent got a clue about cars and f1 - which does make it quite hard!

but it's definitely doable if ur willing to do a bit of research and make ur own notes that can help u with ur decision making.

there's also a few difficulty levels to choose from. what i like about this year's game as i think u can get away with not micro managing races as much as u needed to last year, but u still need to during key parts of the race.

so i think u can start on easy, and if u can definitely progress to the harder levels if u ever want to & so at least so far this year it is probably more casual player friendly - i'm finding it very fun.
