According to Codemasters the demo will sample two of the game’s new features, Young Driver Test, which takes inspiration from the real-life event held at Abu Dhabi, where players will learn how to handle and get the most out of motorsport’s most exciting and responsive racing cars with a series of tests and videos, and Season Challenge a new game mode where players will compete across just ten races to become the number one driver on the grid.
