Free Codemaster F1 game

Last year EA released Need for Speed World, a free-to-play browser-based online racing game. Now, Codemasters announcing F1 Online: The Game, a new free-to-play racing game due out next year. F1 Online will be available in the first quarter of 2012 for the PC and Mac as a browser-based game. The title is an officially licensed top-down racer that features drivers, teams, and circuits from the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship. F1 Online features multiplayer races across six different game modes. These include practice, qualifiers, time trials, challenges, and Grand Prix.

In addition to taking part in races, players will be able to act as a team boss in F1 Online. Gamers will choose a team name, design the racing vehicles, and also "manage commercial, research, production, and race crew functions" to win on the track.
