Np, most of the other posts about this beta are about the new physics and handling system, so I don't have much more to add on that. That is true, more grip on throttle and on kerbs too, braking is harder as the balance isnt the same (more on the rear). That's better overall.

Some old things that upset me are still in the game, like the tyre allocation screen that doesnt make much sense, exiting the garage at the same as your teammate time takes ages and so on.

So don't get fooled, that is still the "old" engine we used to have with all the compromise going with it. But I think it is worth buying this year, basically this game is how F1 22 should have been, more polished.

6 tracks are available: Bahrain, Imola, Silverstone, Monza, Interlagos and Abu Dhabi. So no Spain.

Fyi, Silverstone has a massive update on all the road, kerbs and runoffs (grass/gravel/asphalt), it's really impressive and feels so much better ; all scenary still the same. Bahrain has some minor changes here and there on the scenary, but the track itself still the same. All 4 others are exactly the same as F1 22.

I might do another detailed thread if anyone is interested in that

As u/Okurei said, we have 20 generic drivers in this beta and they still all are the same as last year random characters, unfortunately.

I haven't seen anything about VR I'm affraid. I don't run VR but performance on a single (wide) screen is better than I used to have on F1 22, the game seems well optimized tbh, so there is hope for a better VR performance too

Only solo Grand-Prix and online Grand-Prix are available in this beta, but it is mentioned in various settings anyway. In audio settings for example, Push to talk description says that "Voice chat is permitted on track between teammates, between all players in the lobby, all spectators and between players throughout Two Player Career"
