1. If you want to make recommendations for a game, I would suggest you do it more than roughly 2 months before release. more than likely all audio and sounds have already been recorded and implemented into the game.
2. As far as I am aware the contract between CM/ EA and the FOM requires the F1 teams to give Codies full access for the purpose of recording sounds, so the engine sounds are accurate as Codies equipment allows whether you choose to agree with it or not. That said it's entirely possible Codies has been using the same dated equipment for some time now and it's long overdue for an upgrade which could provide a boost, but I wouldn't count on their overlords at EA making any allowances in the budget.
3. Feel free to make all the petitions you want as to why they should lose the license. It won't go anywhere unless the FIA decides they no longer like money, which when you look at some of the places where we race, it's pretty obvious they do. EA has the money to outbid pretty much anybody, the only two that could make a bid high enough to make EA pause and think are Take-Two who are going all in on GTA VI right now and Blizz-Act and this just doesn't really fit their profile.

This comment is not true. Our equipment (recording devices and microphones) is assessed and upgraded regularly and in fact we've had conversations with FOMs audio team several times in order to assess what equipment they are using and what we can use internally to achieve similar results.
@issueskid13 Thanks for clarifying, good to know you’ve got access to the resources you need.
@TheRagebeard I made mistake of assuming that voice was Audio departments fault once. @issueskid13 Rocked up gave me few kung-fu chops and sent me fleeing with my tail between my legs. Morale off story… Don’t call out audio department without receipts 😂.
I live in hope that Lead Ai dev comes out and does the same. As that’s the area I’d really love some clarification. Everything I know is by 1000s off hours racing F1 Ai and along with watching and reading up on Ai training. But obviously that’s not Codemasters Ai
