Well guess what; it is (just about) here! F1 2013 is set to hit store shelves on October 8. 2013, and will be available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

To celebrate the announcement, the game’s publisher; Codemasters have released a work-in-progress video showing a hot lap of the Hungaroring Circuit. The video shows Australia’s own Toro Rosso-Ferrari driver, Daniel Ricciardo taking on the circuit. The video is narrated by famous Formula One driver Anthony Davidson (also serves as the technical consultant on F1 3013). In the video, Davidson tells would-be racers how they should attack each corner in order to speed their way through to first place

Codemasters today also announced some more features for their highly anticipated Classic Mode. The game will be introduced by legendary broadcaster Murray Walker, and will feature a fictional racing series for players to compete in, racing against circuits and legendary drivers from the 1980s.
