What you get is a very comprehensive game complete with practice, qualifiers and of course the races. It gives an offering that, quite frankly, the BBC couldn't rival.(Pocket-lint) - While Motorstorm offers you rally action crossed with Mad Max and Ridge Racer 7, mundane arcade action Forumla 1 is Sony's answer to a decent car sim.ĭeveloped by Studio Liverpool, Formula 1 Championship Edition allows gamers to relive the 2006 season with all the official drivers, teams, cars, circuits and racing rules.
So, in effect, you can be the race director, you can direct the race yourself. "The aim of Sky Race Control is to replicate the offering across all of our platforms," said former BBC man Owen Williams, now head of projects for Sky Sport's digital media department, "You will see, for example, on the website you'll have your nine streams that Martin was referring to. Prime among these is a proposed four-way viewing option In addition to revolutionising television coverage of F1 - and building on the 'Red Button' facility offered by the BBC, which largely extended to prolonged coverage after the chequered flag - Sky has also leaked details of some of the features that it hopes to include with its iPad extension of Sky Race Control. The commentary feed will then be added before the signal is beamed back to HD viewers in the UK and Ireland.Īlthough the short-lived F1 Digital channel pioneered by Bernie Ecclestone more than five years ago featured multiple viewing options, it did not stretch as far as Turner suggests Sky is prepared to go to ensure that fans get the closest experience to actually being at a grand prix.
Sky will take a purpose-built mobile audio control room to the F1 television compound in order to receive the 5.1 audio produced by Formula One Management's host broadcast coverage. This is another example of us giving F1 the Sky Sports treatment and I know those that hear the coverage will be amazed by it." "For the first time, viewers can hear the drama of F1 as well as see it," executive producer Martin Turner commented, "The stunning HD pictures will now be matched by stunning Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound audio that will help take our viewers trackside.
The use of Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound - an audio feed using six different channels to provide a cinematic style experience - will represent the first time that live F1 broadcasts have been offered to viewers in the UK and Ireland in surround sound, and will cover all practice and qualifying sessions, as well as the 20 races. The inclusion of Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound will be available to viewers watching via the high-definition version of Sky Sports coverage when the dedicated F1 channel launches in March.
