Codemasters' newest racing sim game franchise will get a second installment in September. MCV reports that F1 2011 will be released on September 23 for the PC and other platforms. Since that's on a Friday it's likely that the game will be released in the US a few days earlier or later.

Codemasters first released its first PC Formula 1-based racing game, F1 2010, last fall. Despite some issues with the game's AI that were fixed via patches later (along with post launch support for DirectX 11 graphics) MCV reports that the game was the most successful in Codemasters' history

Codemasters has some serious racing clout, and the launch of their newest racing title just furthers its influence. F1 2010 is out on the market today, and those looking for a Formula 1 game will no doubt be ecstatic. This launch trailer shows off more of the tracks, gameplay, and art of the game, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. If you want some more racing goodies, give this trailer a peek. Otherwise, it's safe to skim or completely skip, depending on your preference.

Publisher Codemasters took over the game license for the Formula 1 racing league in 2008 but today they announced that they will finally release a PC game based on the league this September. The game itself is titled F1 2010 and will be the first Formula 1 based game released for the PC platform in eight years.

As with their last few racing games, Codemasters will use their own in-house EGO engine as the graphical basis for F1 2010. There will be several gameplay modes in the title including the promise of an extensive Career mode. F1 2010 will also have features like an extensive car damage model, weather effects and more.

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.
