Sony has had the licence for the Formula 1 World Championship for quite a long time now, much to the dismay of fans of Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix games like myself. For the PlayStation 3 Sony Studio Liverpool (formerly known as Psygnosis for the retro gamers out there) are developing a game with the working title Formula One Championship Edition.

Since it’s an official game we get all the drivers and the new teams from the 2006 F1 season: Scuderia Torro Rosso, Super Aguri and Midland. Apart from next-gen graphics the game now introduces safety car situations for the first time which will add a little bit of extra strategy to an ongoing race.

If this isn’t a reason to buy a PS3, then I don’t know what is.

It’s time to get your Gran Turismo HD fix of the day. We bring you four car models from the upcoming PS3 game.
