First F1 2012 Screens Are Aerodynamic in Austin

The racing experts at Codemasters have today lifted the hood on the first F1 2012 screenshots, showcasing the new Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas months before the real-life Formula One drivers will tackle the circuit for the 2012 United States Grand Prix in November.

In the three new screenshots, you can also check out the new 2012 specification Formula One cars in F1 2012, with their weird wonky nosecone designs.

Check out all three images below. F1 2012 is out in September 2012 with all the teams, drivers and liveries, as well as a new young driver's mode. We'll have a hands-on preview fresh from E3.

The best pic is #2. Also, I love how #3 has Mclaren's updated nose. I nearly have the platinum for F1 2010 and F1 2011...really looking forward to 2012 and hope they improve on the major mistakes they made in 2011.

Awesome! I really enjoyed F1 2010 but didn't get 2011 because it was pretty much all the same tracks. But after a couple of years I guess I'm ready for them again.

Wtf, how is this going to be different from last years?

I love F1, so will get it, but I need more than new tracks to pull me in.

I've missed on on 2010 and 2011 so I'll pay close attention to how this is reviewed. If it fits the bill then I'm in there.

@3 That is the old, original nose configuration on the McLaren.

The game looks pretty slick, I am a huge F1 fan but will probably wait for a price cut on this or ask for it for Christmas. I really don't play the F1 games on my PS3 as much as I thought I would.

@ Looking forward to this. Especially if Codemasters do it right (which I'm sure they will) and balance the cars as they are now in the actual season and it won't just be red bull all the way.

I just hope that they add driver changes in, it gets a little dull when after 3 or 4 seasons no one has moved. If the game also acknowledged the spare drivers/test drivers and perhaps some upcoming youngsters as well it could really spice things up. Especially if it's made to actually reflect drivers performance or contracts expiring rather than just randomly hoping around teams. I'd hate to see Vettel win the championship then hop over to Marussia because lets face it, that won't happen in reality.

Also want to see improvements to the safety car. It needs to consider what has happened in the accident rather than hope out for a set number of laps if it's a little knock or a huge (non red flagged) pile up.
