Ever feel like you could pip Sebastien Vettel to a podium finish if only you were sat in the Renault RS27 V8 rather than that M-reg Ford Fiesta? No? Well Sportsvibe don’t either. However, shifting our hands from steering wheel to console controller, and once again we feel that unwarranted overconfidence reemerge and self-assurance overspill.

An additional and extensive Challenge mode is perfect for portable racing, with gamers taking on a wide range of objectives including checkpoint, gate and overtaking challenges.
Players have the chance to compete on the go, across a range of multiplayer modes. Gamers can race wheel-to-wheel in four-player Grand Prix, go head-to-head in Time Trials or team up with a friend with F1 2011’s two-on-two co-operative career mode. You can tailor your experience across solo and multiplayer modes by adjusting race distance, tuning their car, choosing from a range of driving aids and selecting tyre, fuel and weather options.
