Well-deserved honor. F1 2017 is a great game. The only racing game released in 2017 that approaches it for fun, realism and features is WRC 7.

Solid choice. I don't watch much F1 on television, but this game is a must have for race sim fans. Great tracks, exciting passing, deep modes. Now..I remain hopeful due to the resurgence of Indy car racing for an Indy car only game that would be as deep as this...

"For several years, the F1 series was simply very good to solid but not quite encroaching on great.

Fast forward to today, and F1 2017 is our choice for the best racing game of 2017 and it should get consideration for the best sports game period."

This is what I'm talkin' bout! Bravo on this selection; this game is brilliant.

I was eagerly waiting for F1 to release its 9th installment on the PS4. Great game to play. I am into racing, but the true definition of racing is explained by F1. I along with my friends bought additional resources just to play this game. We have been crazy about this game for so long.

As it should have. It's the class of the field. No racing game comes close IMO. This game illustrates how far every other major racing game that tries to replicate an official racing series has to come. I'm looking at you here Nascar Heat.

F1 is fantastic. From the visuals, the sounds, the gameplay, the immersion of the career more, career development, etc. etc. There's just nothing to really complain about. I'd maybe prefer some better stat tracking like it had in previous versions to track your history throughout all modes of the game. I'd like to see it like Forza really. Track my history for all tracks, rate my turns, track my best laptimes, race starts/finishes/podiums at each track etc. etc. That's my only complaint, and it's nitpicking really.

F1 2017 is on sale on the PS Store this week, $23.99 for Plus members. Just bought it, stoked to try it out!

Any tips for a n00b who only knows NASCAR?

1. Learn to turn right. lol

2. Easy on the gas

3. Have patience learning the tracks.

4. Be prepared for the lower tier teams cars to be more of a struggle to win in.

5. Enjoy the career mode. It's fantastic. As a new player, the track acclimatization programs will help you learn the circuits. Run all the practice programs, you'll need those resource points, especially if you start in a lower tier team.

Oh... and when it rains. Be careful. lol
