The all-new Superleague Formula by Sonangol video game was released last weekend to coincide with the title showdown between Liverpool and Tottenham at Jarama.
The full PC format version, which can be downloaded from the Superleague Formula website, offers football fans the chance to race as their favourite club with all 18 teams competing in the 2009 campaign faithfully recreated. Developers ISI have also reproduced the six circuits that make up this season’s calendar using their all-new track-specific terrain data file system which offers a level of realism like never before.
Every aspect of the V12-powered, 750bhp cars in Superleague Formula 2009: The Game is also fully tuneable, meaning players can make minute adjustments in-race using all of the steering wheel-based buttons available to real-life racing drivers. On top of that, wannabe champions can upgrade and develop their single seater over the course of the season to gain that extra title-winning edge over their rivals.
Alongside the traditional Championship, Single Race and Test modes sits a comprehensive online racing community allowing supporters to challenge rivals in real time from around the world. Indeed, ISI has built an all-new multiplayer engine specifically for this game permitting additional AI opponents to be added to any race, and chat facility which offers gamers the chance to heap pressure on fellow players.
Newly-crowned Superleague Formula champion, Liverpool’s Adrian Valles, said: “It’s amazing how similar the game play is compared to the real thing – you brake for a corner at the same point in the sim as you would in the car. I’ll definitely be having a go during the off-season so I’m ready in time for next year!”
Tottenham star Craig Dolby, who finished runner-up to the Spaniard this season, added: “The game is really cool and I think football and motorsport fans will love it. The lap times we did on the game were actually pretty close to the ones we set for real on race day. That means the fans can watch us race on a Sunday and then try and beat our times when they get home!”
