This means this will be the most up-to-date version of the circuit and its environment as laser scanning is able to produce these updates.The video showcases some gameplay featuring reverse circuits such as Austria and Silverstone, other LIDAR tracks and updated Driver Radio from McLaren driver Oscar Piastri.
“The tech behind LIDAR gives players unprecedented levels of detail, bringing them closer to each race weekend,” said Gavin Cooper, Creative Director at Codemasters. “Also, we’ve carefully selected the three reverse circuits to provide a unique and engaging experience for our players that feels polished, authentic, and fun. The process includes reworking DRS zones, retraining AI, recalibrating sector boundaries, repositioning the starting grid and pit lanes, and more, delivering new thrills and challenges.”
