We have confirmation. Spain is updated and we can say good bye to that annoying chicane. https://twitter.com/EASPORTSF1/status/1664587669375156228?cxt=HHwWiIDQqc_q5pkuAAAA

@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.
