Be your own champion

The European circuits of FORMULA ONE™ CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION beckon the unknown champion.

This year, eight circuits of the European F1 scene have the potential to excite, demand and challenge all skill levels of the FORMULA ONE^TM PlayStation 3 title.

On the road to becoming world champion, the many challenges you face include beating your personal records, customising your car set-up and beating your rivals. Most of this can be achieved in the security of offline play but you can only speed past your real life rival online.

By meeting up online with your buddies, race rules can be customised as you wish. You and your buddies, now rivals, can have races ranging from three to 20 laps. Races can be replayed as many times as you like with results recorded and points gained. This is the time to outdo your friends and become your own champion.

Meeting up online with your buddies can be pre-arranged or done via a game invite message. Your race can be invite-only or password-protected and arranging the race details beforehand only adds to the pre-race hype as you goad your opposition into upping the stakes of the race.

Of course there is a whole universe of open races and individual drivers out there up for the challenge. All of this online competition will only add to your online rankings and boost your personal performance.

You may never experience the real cockpit of a FORMULA ONE^TM car but getting to know the tracks via you're PS3 could make you the Championship leader at your first attempt.

F1 on PS3 gives you High Definition visuals, full surround sound, changing weather conditions and authentic vehicle damage to guarantee the most realistic racing experience ever.

FORMULA ONE^TM is about driver and machine working together to push the performance of the team with the ultimate goal of winning the World Championship.
