The release date for "F1 2011 the game" has been announced by Codemasters.

23rd September 2011

You can already pre-order the game, for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation and PC, though at the moment I can't find it for the PC on Amazon.

F1 2011 The Game On Amazon

Codemasters have started a competition offering gamers the chance to be some of the first in the world to play F1 2011 ahead of its release.




There isn't much content available, that I can find, on the web about this game right now "7th May", which seems a little strange when you consider its release really isn't that far away.
Lets hope they have enough time to beta test it sufficiently.

This YouTube link will point to "F1 2011 developer diary", one to keep an eye on.
