Now Playing: F1 2010™ - (Weather) Developer Diary Video
Description: Weather can have a dramatic affect on the outcome of a FORMULA
ONE™ race, affecting both the level of control of the cars and
race strategy. To deliver the most authentic FORMULA ONE experience
possible, these effects are fully simulated in F1 2010, the official
game of the 2010 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™.In the video,
the wide ranging effects of weather and their impact in the game are
revealed. FORMULA ONE test driver Anthony Davidson explains that
although you have some information about the weather at your
disposal, how you use that information is crucial The teams know by
the radar where the weather is coming from and how long its going to

authentically reflects the conditions at each of the 19 GRAND
PRIX™ locations, meaning rain is unlikely at Abu Dhabi but
conditions can be unpredictable at Spa and Silverstone. Presenting a
further challenge, players can set the weather conditions and
experience the dramatic affect they have on racing in GRAND PRIX,
Time Trial and Multiplayer modes.More than just a visual affect, the
dynamic weather system in F1 2010 is an integral part of the games
Active Track technology. This system means that the track is fully
aware of how much grip, water, rubber, dust or marbles there is for
every 30cm² of track surface, allowing players to see and take
advantage of realistic drying lines during wet races as cars
displace water from the ra...
