At last week’s F1 2011 press preview day I got another chance to talk to Paul Jeal, Senior Producer of the Formula 1 games at Codemasters and ask him some of the questions that his E3 2011 interview “Now we’ve almost got an AI driver with 6 brains” had generated. Read about Paul’s thoughts on victory laps, tyre degradation, racing [...]
