Yes, very nice addition indeed. 👍 I am not that much into time trials, but that was enough to lure me back into the game 😀 I finished all Tiers in season Pass and was waiting for the next one, but that was a welcome surprise. Cool do so some Laps in a 2023er car in the official game even before the season started.
Nevetheless, I hope for another Patch with some fixes of our major painpoints prior the next Pass.
Just to clarify this update point:
- Addition of the 2023 Alfa Romeo F1 Team C43 for use in Time Trial game mode
---This is not just a livery but the actual car itself????
---And if so bodes a new approach to how the new game is delivered under EA sports ownership.
---I hope this means the 2023 game will be delivered sooner rather than later!
This really adds value to the game and should entice more people to by the game annually if this new feature is something they can look to annually!
---- NICE INDEED and thanks for listening to my suggestion on this request!
- SteveJackson3 years agoHero (Retired)@Trendyon I think it’s been stated quite clearly that it’s the car, although IDK how they have the performance or the design. It is quick that the livery has been signed off, normally this takes ages and they are pre season until the performance patches I think.
So forgive me if I’m dubious on their statement, but the statement is quite clear.
Maybe it means it is not the old Sauber skinned. But it could be the team car, I’m sure the engine and bodywork scrutineers in the community will put things under.- mariohomoh3 years agoHero (Retired)The Alfa Romeo C43 is the result of a one-time marketing partnership between Alfa and EA. It is not just the new livery slapped on the C42 (2022 car), it's the new car's 3D model + livery. And the new steering wheel the team is running this year, we have Bottas to thanks for that 💟
It is definitely not the true C43 performance and most definitely not F1 23 new handling model. Those with the game may look into it and perhaps confirm some changes to performance parameters like drag or power, but I wouldn't bet anything on that.
It is not a preview of the F1 23 game though. It's a marketing campaign on the same vein we've seen before with Red Bull, Ferrari, Audi etc., with the addition of the 3D model.- 3 years ago
@mariohomohPerhaps EA Sports could consider making variable performance parameters table driven going forward, if this isn't already done, I mean. So that during testing on day one, Alfa Romeo can pass performance data to EA Sports and with a quick table update, render that data available to the game IRT without an actual release update. I'm just saying.

@SteveJacksonThanks for the confirmation guys. As they say, the proof is in the driving, and from the haptics and performance compared to last year's car, this is the real thing for sure. Also, I'm hoping that as testing draws to an end the car can be updated with the lasted performance gains captured during testing. Also, I hope this become a regular feature of the game going forward - and perhaps with different teams- as is this can be additional showtime and appreciation for some of the smaller teams in F1. And not to toot my own horn, but I'm sure I requested this feature somewhere in the recent past. Great move by EA Sports this!
