@Cpayne32It’s actually just 1 car with different liveries since it’s a spec series, and we’ve had to wait until late October in previous games for the update. That’s 5 months!
Consider that they created a whole bunch of Supercars (that nobody played) each with completely different handling and their own game mode for the last 2 years, and that they’ve were removed for F1 24.
So it’s not asking much to have expected the 2024 F2 car at launch of the new game…

@Meza994So what happens when we get new F1 regs? The content still comes out annually. They don’t give you last years F1 cars to use for 5 months until they patch in an update… It’s not much for ask for a premium priced £89.99 game. They have to live up to that price tag
Of course we wouldnt get the old cars for 5 months but the game would either launch again 4-5 months after season start or you would get a bugged/unrealistic car. As i said before i dont defend them generally taking ages to get the current F2 season. But they cant make a realistic car behaviour with somewhat trained AI within 2 months. The current handling problems are also because its rushed and not enough time to test and fine tune things, that stuff happens when people want it as early as possible, but again, taking till October without any changes is far too long, not arguing that!

The game is of course called 'F1', not something more general including F2. Selfishly I'd be quite happy if they dropped F2 entirely to focus on making the F1 experience better. Obviously loads of people are interested in F2 so not really suggesting this but there are reasons that the situation is different for F1 and F2 content.

@SDGMattIt is usually two months after the games release and as @Meza994 alluded to. Its all new spec cars that have to be built from the ground up.
I expect we will get it next month but hopefully we get confirmation soon
Huh? It usually never releases until October/November. That's alot more than 2 months. It usually always comes out right about the time the season is ending and most people lose interest in the game itself by that point. It's not really a great decision to put it off this long. It should just ship with the current F2 cars and drivers rather than last years. At least that way we're able to use the current F2 drivers in my team mode as well. Although with just a small handful of liveries to choose from My Team mode is pretty pointless at this point anyways.
they lost 35% at the sales launch, let alone gradually given the scandalous game they played....
I confess, I love playing F2. If I start a new career, or sometimes just to have some fun, I race F2
It's bad when the F2 is so much better than the F1, in what's supposed to be an F1 game.
They have themselves to blame regarding a significant downward trend in sales. I have absolutely zero sympathy considering the absolute trash that is F124 and the extortionate price they charge for the worst copy and paste they've created.
