With the new Formula 1 season revving up you wouldn’t be unreasonable to be eager to jump in the car yourself.  Now unless you’re highly skilled and have been in motorsport for many years you probably will never get the chance but video gaming is always an option.  With Codemasters F1 2010 coming out later this year there is still an option now if you can’t wait and that is rFactor on the PC with the F1 WCP 2009 mod.  I feel the need, the need for speed!

The main game is called rFactor and more information can be found here: http://www.rfactor.net/ It is essentially a realistic racing simulator and not something arcadey like Need for Speed but it is still enjoyable.  You will need this to add the F1 mod on later! It can easily be picked up in online shops like Amazon or eBay for around £10.

To get the feel for F1 you will need the F1 WCP 2009 mod (the best out there in my opinion) and more details are here: http://www.f1wcp.com/ This adds the cars, drivers and they all look beautiful! Although the official download link seems to be down you can easily download it from many torrent sites and others, just google “F1 WCP 2009.”

Last but not least you obviously need the F1 WCP track pack to race on and practice lap after lap to get that best time: http://www.f1wcp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=783&sid=befed38e3b13e572877873043cf0eb3e A simple installtion file and you’re there.

All the sources you need to have an exhilarating F1 experience!
