maybe this thread should be renamed to track updates for f1 23?
so far we have confirmed spain re work, canada re work, austria had moto gp chicane added so it looks correct & qatar (new track) las vegas (new track)
@cearp8858Done, renamed 🙂
@Meza994You are talking about turn 8 in Baku? Cause in real life it's more narrow than it was in F1 22 for exemple. If that's the case, 7 out of 10 times i won't make it through that turn 😁
If you have new info about track updates you can post it here guys!
@Hempyjr Yea talking about turn 8 but the kerb was different in 2022, ingame it was extending quite a bit maybe 1-2 meters into the corner and with the unstable car riding that kerb was tougher than IRL without that kerb and maybe a little less track but more easy usable kerb
- @Meza994 I’m convinced that Baku’s track had issues that caused weird things to happen. When game launched the track had barriers that danced. Big bumps on the track and Ai would have huge shunts. They fixed it. Apparently 🙄. It’s the only track where it felt like my braking point and turning point seemed to change randomly. F1 21 I loved Baku. F1 22 I loved pressing flashback
- @ScarDuck14 Pretty much the same here regarding Baku. In F1 22 i struggled a lot on Baku but in F1 2021 and 2020 it was ok. I am curious to see how it will be Spain in F1 23, if i will have the same problems like in F1 22 or F1 2021. Saw a video on youtube with Lusail and i must say it does look pretty good and looks that will be a lovely and fun track.
- @Nuvolarix One week to go till we find out 😁 Sadly i couldn't find any videos on youtube regarding other tracks like Spa or Mexico.
yeah spa hasnt had anything shown at all except for some shots from the trailers where it still looks like the old layout but as we all know this could change.
i really do hope we get a nice suprise and that spa has indeed been re done and will probably be the most up to date f1 game for track builds in a long time i think.some people seem to think that becasue the grandstands still arnt finished that they wont redo spa but honestly they could do some tempory grandstands where mounds of dirt are and rennsport have it scanned and in their "game" already too with its new layout.
you only notice how bad the version of spa is when you drive it on other games like iracing or ACC, the geometry of some corners is all wrong adn then some places the walls are too close to kerbs as well.- @cearp8858 I know Spa wasn't updated for long but tbh i have to give devs a really big praise for all the updates so far. I didn't expected to have 2 new tracks and so many updates to other tracks so if they didn't updated Spa i can't blame them. Before the game was announced i thought that i will be happy if they give us Lusail and Las Vegas at release date but they provided more.
- @Nuvolarix By what was shown and what esports drivers said about the high speed grip e.g. copse id say it will get close to real life in terms of the last corner.. Obviously it also depends on what setup you use, it wasnt much lower downforce IRL, they are on average a bit higher on top speed anyway this year and they were only like 6-7 kph higher than last year Merc for instance werent even really higher top speed so lets see 🙂
Singapore will be updated!
It doesn't mention Spa unfortunately.
Thanks EA for the updates.

"Additionally, we’ve made several minor improvements to various tracks across the game. These include Jeddah, Zandvoort, Baku, and Austria. The changes range from updating kerb profiles, adding more detail to off-track sections (the grandstands at Miami being a notable example), and more."
@ZonF1vroom Will be updated at a later date after release but i'll take it! Good enough for me.
@cearp8858Not major updates but they are welcome, the alternative would be to do nothing about those tracks so i guess it's a good sign for start.
These are really good news, thanks EA/Codies!!! ❤️
Hope the Jeddah update is they have moved the walls back like irl. As I do tend to scrape down a wall or two during race
- @ZonF1vroom I wonder if the developers can push Spa and Mexico for redone during the year. 🤔
- @Blackbird90 I think it'll depend how much spare time they will have 😉
I don't want to sound pessimistic but I expect bug fixes and patches for first few months (I hope I am wrong though) - @Blackbird90 I'm hoping it's done for f1 24.
Since F1 2021, 8 tracks were updated (Japan, China, Spain, Australia, COTA, Abu Dhabi, Austria and Great Britain) and 6 track were added ( Imola, Portimao, Jeddha, Miami, Las Vegas and Losail ).
Codies/EA have updated more, as we haven't seen any gameplay of the other updated track, I haven't added it to the list.
Furthermore, France and Netherlands circuits are Laser Scanned (Liddar Data).
So 16 tracks are close/perfect to real life.
This leaves EA with 10 tracks to update:
Bahrain, Spa-Francorchamp, Hungary, Mexico, Canada, Monaco, Azerbaijan, Italy, Singapore and Brazil.
Singapore and Azerbaijan are listed to be updated.
It will take minimum 3 years to update the 8 other tracks.
But we are getting there. Jeddah has been nicely improved, kerbs look higher/ more realistic, the walls have been moved, only that one turn i think T22 was it hasnt been changed but that doesnt bother me much tbh, nice job Codies :D
- @Meza994 But that turn was the biggest change F1 made to the track making it drastically different to the original one. By the way I liked it before. Although it was pretty tight and fast though there even on the game. 😮💨
According to my performances I must admit Jeddah is currently in my top 3, although I prefer classic tracks, it’s surely my favourite among the new ones. Btw it would be nice to get the new layout too 🙂
- @Blackbird90 True but the drivers didnt like that change haha and i wouldnt say drastically changing a circuit from one corner being ~30-40 kph slower but still would have been nice too! Maybe they will change it too 🙂
im sad about spa not being updated... i was really expecting it considering its the 2nd year of the new changes.
grateful about the update in the other tracks (and happy for singapore being updated in the future updates) but i wished the same treatment for spa
- @Nuvolarix Absolulely. The sense of speed is exceptional on this track. This proves that even relatively flat surface circuits can be fun to drive. 💕
- @Meza994 Imo T22 was a visiting card of Jeddah. Still is but safety first. 😉
I was realy looking forward to a update for the Spa track! I hope they will update it soon!!!
Due to Singapore getting a after lauch update, does that mean other tracks may have updates ie Spain their seems to be more red tarmac and a few less sausage kerbs.
