F1 2012 is looking like it might just be the sexiest installment in the series yet, if not the sexiest Formula One game ever, full stop. And we've got an exclusive look at some awesome new gameplay footage from the game, showing off a host of the game's new features for this year.

Chief among these is the new Young Driver's Test mode, in which you cut your teeth behind the wheel of an F1 car and prove yourself to hopefully get snapped up by one of the big teams. We've also got a hot lap around Silverstone to show you, and a delve into Champions Mode, inwhich you'll find a host of challenges to complete.

Check out the video for a deeper look into F1 2012's new modes and features, then be sure to polish your helmet in anticipation of F1 2012's impending release on September 18th in North America and September 21st in Europe. There'll also be a demo up for grabs on September 11th in the US, September 12th in Europe and September 24th in Japan.
