Just like in real life, practice is important in F1 22. The game is the official videogame of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. Like F1 2021 and earlier games in the series before it, the game is licensed for Formula 1, and does its best to simulate real-life racing. Professional drivers spend hours practicing before they race on a course. Players of F1 22 need not go quite that far, but they can benefit from simulating a practice before a race.
Practicing in F1 22 allows players to test out various things so they can win the race. They will learn how their Formula 1 car handles, which is quite a bit different from everyday driving cars. They can learn the twists and turns of a course, cutting down their lap times. With practice players can find which corners are the most difficult and conquer them so when it comes to the real race, they don’t end up crashing and subsequently swearing.
Players do have many options when it comes to difficulty settings. If players find that their current settings are making F1 22 game too difficult, they can change them to make driving more forgiving with things like traction control or a dynamic racing line. Still, players may wish to challenge themselves, and spending a little bit of time practicing before a race can end up saving players time in the future. Or at least it will help them win races more consistently.
Practicing For a Race in F1 22
To simulate practice, players simply need to have the Practice Format setting on while they are in F1 22's career mode. This is found in the Practice tab. If it is enabled, players get a chance to have a lap to experiment and get familiar with their car before the race. Practice in real Formula 1 is limited to try to keep things equal as much as possible between teams that have different budgets, so the limited practice is authentic.
Career mode is one of the most exciting features of F1 22. Players select cars, assemble a team, and race on a variety of tracks. Playthroughs in career mode vary differently depending on what players choose, which is why practice is so important. Players should use this time to imagine that they drive to survive and try to get the best time possible. If players are having a lot of trouble, or simply want to get in more practice, they can also choose a single-player race. This way, when it comes time to tackle career mode, or even play online with others, players will be ready to compete.
F1 22 is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
