If you want a true driving experience, try this game with a force feedback steering wheel. The combination of the sights, sounds and feeling will leave you breathless and will occupy hours of your life."

Codemasters owner EA confirmed the redundancies in a statement issued to IGN, although failed to disclose the number of staff affected."
Speaking during an earnings call, EA chiefs are confident that the Codemasters Birmingham team can continue to progress with the Formula 1 games.
