  • I can only agree with Redra-11.
    Sparks are an essential part of Formula 1. The same is true of dirt and dust beyond the ideal line. Please Codemasters / EA at least bring the spark back into the game. You just have to look at the last few races...sparks are part of it. Another big immersive point is the movement of the vehicles - they don't move or barely move. But if you look at reality, there is a lot of bouncing during a round and line. Please Codemasters EA please bring this into the game!
