Codemasters grabs Formula 1 game rights

The Formula 1 racing season is kind of like soccer in the US; it's extremely popular everywhere else in the world but in this country the reaction is like, "Eh?". It's still a highly lucrative sport and today Codemasters announced that it has grabbed the Formula 1 racing license with a new multi-year agreement from Formula 1 Administration Limited. The deal includes making games for the PC and other platforms

Of course Codemasters has tons of racing game experience with their off-road racing games like the recent DiRT and the upcoming GRID. The new Formula 1 deal should allow the developer-publisher to release its first game in the new license in 2009. Codemasters has the rights to use all the Formula 1 team, their driver's likenesses and all the Grand Prix racing circuits.
