China and Portugal
Why aren't China and Portugal included in the actual game after being advertised in the features trailer?
You can see them both here on this video

@pawel567only because they had a few frames worth of racing around China doesnt mean the AI were even 10% trained at that point, but its all just guess work here
@Ultrasonic_77Previously someone pointed out to a specific few frames in one trailer and it really looks like China turn 7 but dont know about Portimao
As @Meza994 has pointed out, there is no footage related to Portimao in any of the trailers aside from the menu screen.
However, there is a little clue that they might get included in the game files. In each of the tracks, there's the files for each and every podium. And as well as every Grand Prix in the calendar, there's a podium texture for the Chinese Grand Prix and Portuguese Grand Prix. Last year on game realease there also were files already created for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the Portuguese Grand Prix and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, so I guess there's not much of a secret to hide.
People like you are the worst. Those tracks were originally planned but were cancelled due to covid. China and Portugal are literally not on the calendar whatsoever, why on earth would they be included in an official F! game?
- @Plummered Simply because they teased people with very strong hinting at extra tracks and showing those two tracks in the gameplay trailer
"The game is constantly evolving to look more like real life F1 Championship."
Is this why supercars are part of the game?- @Plummered
"People like you are the worst" - we are simply having a discussion no need to be rude about it.
"Those tracks were originally planned but were cancelled due to covid" - Portugal was not cancelled due to covid.
"China and Portugal are literally not on the calendar whatsoever, why on earth would they be included in an official F! game?" - Maybe because the more tracks that are in the game the better?
Whilst EA claims they were removed for realism purposes there are a lot things included that aren't realistic such as every track has the option of a sprint race, the option for shortened qualifying sessions, shortened race distances etc. These are things included in the game for the sole purpose of player enjoyment. I cannot see a reason for codemasters adding 2 tracks to a build of the game and then including them in multiple trailers just to simply remove them and state they won't be in the game.
This has EA written all over it as they are obsessed with any extra penny they can make as a result I imagine in a few months they will release a bonus tracks DLC and charge people £10+ Let's see what comes next and how they will do it. Personally I would really appreciate more tracks. Hopefully also available for my Team season 2,let's see.
There will always be one side demanding it for free, because the game is expensive and others that say it's ok as paid dlc because it demands additional licensing directly with the track owner,unless EA reuses or relizenses older seasons and use them in some way, like the current moto gp game does.
Nevertheless, I hope to see them soon in game and hopefully other tracks too.
- We have confirmation that we will have DLC for new tracks.
